Blessed Messiah and the Tower of Ai (English Cover)
Project Overview
HOWDY!
I'm Ace, and this will be the first official CCC project I will be casting! "Blessed Messiah and the Tower of Ai" has been one of my favorite Vocaloid songs for a long time, and I'd love to take it on with some talented people!
WHAT IS THIS SONG ABOUT?
"Blessed Messiah and the Tower of Ai" tells the story of ten children who share a strong bond of friendship that is tested through nine trials. This is a summary taken from a comment on the YouTube video.
One day, the local seamstress of the "Village of Youth" (Miku) received a letter from the oracle of the nearby kingdom. She was destined to become the next Messiah the one who has to get the nine "blessings" inside of the "Tower of AI". The other villagers, her friends, decided to help her too. What they didn't know was that the so called "blessings" were tests God set up to test the Messiah and see if he/she could endure the curse. The Messiah has the choice of either enduring/surviving all the curses or spiltting the curse between 9 people. Miku doesn't know about the curse, and how you could split it between 9 people or endure it yourself, so she lets her friends (Len, Rin, GUMI, Luka, IA, Gakupo, KAITO, MEIKO, and MAYU) join her.
However, inside of the tower, the 9 "friends" put aside their friendship and betray her, one by one. The Messiah realizes that they were all blinded by greed, wanting to get more power by grabbing the blessings for themselves.
Finally, she reaches the top of the tower, alone, where the altar was waiting for her. Surrounding a stone pedestal, nine statues were arranged in a circle, holding unlit, red candles in their skeletal hands... which were suddenly illuminated. She then found out that her 9 friends actually knew about the curse, and just didn't want her to know what they were doing so they pretended to betray her so that she could save the world instead.
Realizing the fate that her friends had to suffer, splitting the curse, the Messiah understood that they were never being greedy, they just wanted to protect her and never once wanted to steal the "blessings", they just didn't want her to feel the pain of enduring the curse. Even at their death they always remembered their motto, "In sickness and in health, we share joy and pain".
WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR?
I am looking for nine different singers to sing for Rin, GUMI, Luka, IA, Gakupo, KAITO, MEIKO, MAYU, and Miku. I will be singing as Len.
I am looking for people who are capable of holding a part and can pick out harmonies from the English Cover. If you have any musical experience (singing, instruments, etc.) please tell me in your submission so I can take note. Those with musical experience will most likely have a better chance of securing a role.
ANYTHING ELSE?
I'm going to need a video editor, because this song is totally nuts. If you could send me a sample of a video you've worked on, that'd be great!

Miku

Role assigned to:
OliviaG713
Miku is the main character and the next chosen messiah of this story. Be ready to hit a D6 or a Bb5. Yes, I know this is high. Miku is the character with the most vocal work to do so you MUST be ready to take on this role. If you need to hear the song, use the provided YouTube link in the description.
That the lumber cutter’s daughter
Would receive the high honor: the next messiah’s role.
But the prophecy said the chosen one is me.
Just how much can someone truly be altered by greed?
(higher harmony) For the "blessings" were nine sorrows in disguise
And she raises her hands up toward the shrine...
Singer
Kaito
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Keiko Kawayui
Kaito, the "young man" of this story, is the first to "steal" a blessing for himself. Baritone/Tenor. Be ready to carry some harmony adlibs. There are also syncopated lyrics (as there are for many of these roles) so be ready for timing on those, especially on line 2.
In a land on the brink of its demise...
Inside a swirling pool of life
As she enters now
We will face all our fortune and pain as one! (evil laugh)
Singer
Meiko
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
sourdough101
Meiko plays the swordsman in this song. This character is typically a mezzo soprano or alto, though I will accept alto-tenors or any male voices who would like to try this role. Meiko has a lot of syncopated lines, so be ready for that.
Ten wretched children left behind...
If you wish to bring blessing to the land...
From that moment friendship would turn into hate.
As she took the Fiery Feast by her side...
Singer
IA

Unpaid
Role assigned to:
TheSparkledash
IA is the "older sister" of this story. Mezzo soprano/alto needed. If you are an alto, please be ready to use head voice.
Little hands holding onto dear life...
In the midst of all destruction,
Shielding the world from ruin is the “Tower of Ai.”
Next, they found the "Graceful Sunlight"
Which was won over by older sister’s open hands, as she smiled happily...
Singer
Mayu

Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Raineee
Mayu is the "little sister" of this story. Mezzo soprano or alto. If you are alto, be ready to use your head voice for the higher notes.
That is where the life of the earth still burns on…
Then the fear that you feel will all come to an end.
Running off in irritation,
Little sister moved towards the "Restful Darkness,"
And she would never be seen again...
Singer
Gakupo
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
Jett Barker
Gakupo is the "priest," or "monk" of this story. Baritone or Tenor. If you are baritone, be ready to sing at most a G4. Gakupo has a lot of syncopation, so listen to the song closely.
Trusting that in sickness and health, for whatever may come.
(melody only, in the range that is most comfortable for you)
Go forward with all of your heart.
The monk began to chant...
To the almighty "Trembling Earth."
Singer
Gumi

Role assigned to:
unicornkara_
Gumi is the "poet" of this story. Mezzo Soprano needed. Be ready to do some harmony adlibs and syncopation; I will be watching closely on this one.
From another distant kingdom,
Came a messenger bearing a letter to the youths...
Just how much can someone truly be altered by greed?
Screaming out as the lightning struck me down...
Knowing that in sickness and health, for whatever may come...
Singer
Luka
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
e.s.sense
Luka is the "dancer" of this story. Mezzo Soprano needed. Be ready to hold lots of harmonies. I will need extra musical experience from this singer so that we have an easier time picking out harmonies. I will also be watching this role closely.
And so we will except that fate.
Try to hold onto glory in your hands.
Stands there all by herself, as she laughs to the sky...
(higher harmony)
Singer
Rin
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to:
DropOfAmbiance
Rin is the "older twin sister" of this story. Soprano needed. Be ready to sing high melodies. Rin holds the majority of the harmonies of this song, especially in the higher register, so musical experience is preferred.
For whatever may come...
(higher harmony)
We have all been told the story:
Foolish, arrogant men overstepped the boundaries of god...
Claiming the "Silver Garden,"
With joyful tears streaming down,
And they freeze on her cheeks as she turns around.
