Here's the official rules for DJ Project!
Follow them and you should have no problem fitting at home here
If you have any questions, feel free to ask here, or PM Ryan or Thea.
A History of DJ Project
The brainchild of Thea, we decided to put it into action after talking for a few days.
After much brainstorming, we decided on a format, how to run things, and DJ Project was born.
DanshiJoshi Project means "Boy Girl Project," and anyone of any gender is free to join! No restrictions.
We only discriminate against different species -- your dog can't join.
(Also, if we accept you, you can pick and choose different themes for the forum! You can ask for your own special one in your favorite color with your favorite member (past or present, any group!), here.)
The above quote is how DJ Project used to be, but as of our reformation it is no longer so. But we don't want to completely erase our history, so it will be immortalized here!
This is a project that is Hello! Project based. We do Hello! Project, and we do Hello! Project. Any group that is currently, or used to be, under Hello! Project. You like other J-Pop? Awesome! There are other forums for that. We also do NOT cover other UFP groups and soloists such as Kikkawa Yuu, Up Up Girls, Stylips, Ongaku Gatas, etc.
About Recording For DJ Pro
Follow these EXTREMELY closely. Do not skip out on this part, it's the most important part, after all.
These are rules that will NOT change.
1. We only accept .mp3, .ogg or .wav file formats, so please record using those. Any other formats will result in asking for a redo.
2. Do not trim anything off of your file, including the beginning. Mixing is much easier this way.
3. Files should be named songname_yourname_groupname. It's okay to shorten the names if it's a song that has an obivous title (e.g, you don't have to name it Ambitious! Yashinteki de Ii Jan_Ryan_MinnaMusu, you can shorten it to Ambitious!_Ryan_MinnaMusu. Do NOT shorten titles like Koi no Dance Site to just "Koi_yourname," that will be very confusing)
4. Sing EVERYTHING on the lyric sheets that is in your color! It does not matter if it's in (parenthesis), you still have to sing it.
5. Also, like the above, if something isn't in the lyric sheet that isn't assigned to you (like a Wow! or something like that), DO NOT sing it. No adlibbing.
6. If you need help recording something, like perhaps harmonies, feel free to ask some of the other members, we won't bite!
7. Deadlines are final! DO NOT ask for an extension if the deadline is one day away, it will not be granted. You may ask up to a week before a deadline. I'd rather you ask for a deadline extension if you are uncertain, rather than not turn in parts at all. Do not say you didn't have enough to learn the songs, either, you get a month and a half to get your files in. If you miss the deadline you have a few days to come up with your excuse before Thea starts hounding you and the consequences escalate.
However! If we miss a Wow! or something that IS in the song, please tell us! We would like those parts done, but only if they are already in the song.
Our Policy On Solo Lines
We will try our best to keep solo lines even. We will never give anyone more or less, no matter what seniority they have within the group, so please do not ask us to give you more because you've been in the group longer.
On songs that are already even (like Maji Desu ka Ska), we will basically assign you guys to different parts, but on songs that are VERY uneven (One-Two-Three), we will color-code it ourselves and make the lines even.
Picking Representatives (If they are going to be used)
1. Everyone gets one rep from the group they are in to apply to the single.
2. Stick to the time period of your group! If you are doing Ambitious! Yashinteki de Ii jan, do not ask for Kudo Haruka as a rep. Was she in the group at the time? No? Then you can't use her.
3. First come first serve basis. You can claim your rep AFTER you turn in your lines.
Regarding the Avatar and Signatures used on the DJP forums. Your avatar optimally should be 150x150. This is flexible.
Signatures, however, should only be 200 pixels in height. Maximum. Less than 100 is preferred.Also, your signature should not exceed 3 visible lines of content.
Please refrain from posting more than once with no posts between the two (referred to as a Double Post) within a 24 hour period.
Please also refrain from using *actions*, -actions-, etc. This is not a roleplay forum, we are speaking using words, we are not "acting."
Inactivity
Regarding the punishment for inactivity, you can see here. DJP is a very sociable place! Please only join if you intend to socialize with us as well.
What You Can Do To Help
Review! We put a lot of work into making a release, between the mixing, making videos, and, of course, the actual singing itself. It's very rewarding to hear even a little praise, such as "I listened to it, and it sounded great!"
Afterword
Like I said before, if you have any questions, feel free to ask here, or PM me or Thea. DJ Project is all about having fun! We're not here to be the best cover group on Earth, we're just here to have a good time singing H!P songs.
To choose your groups you need to fill out this form!
We reserve the right to update, change, modify or otherwise alter these rules at any time without prior notice in our sole discretion.

About The Groups
DJ Project once had 7 groups:
Minna Musu., the Morning Musume cover group
Raspberryz, the Berryz Koubou cover group
ºK~awaii, the C-ute cover group
S/hineage, the S/mileage cover group
Rain=bow, the Juice=Juice cover group
Tokaikko, the Country Girls cover group
Mochigomin, the sign-up casted group (only available to join after you finish all your lines for the singles you're on)
And had 2 Sub-Units:
Carino!, the Buono! cover group
chi-toku-en, the v-u-den cover group
As well as DJ Project, where every member of DJ Project, no matter what group they're in, participates in a release.
Every member is shuffled into one or more of those groups (except Mochigomin), depending on preference. So you can be in both Minna Musu and K-awaii if you want, if there is room. 4 Max.
