I don't see anything wrong with asking some youtaite, if they'd like to coach. They can decline after all, but I do think some will be kind enough to do it. lol it might be a bit blunt, but I think it's alright, as long as we're not rude or something

"Also Jun just cause people are shameless about asking art on dA doesn't mean its okay. But so we're clear, my stance on that is that that sort of behavior is very rude and undermining to artists."

* sigh* I have NEVER said it was okay, when people shamelessly ask for art; I said there are also plenty of people who are too shy to ask (as in response to "Ohhoho..trust me people are not shy in asking for free illustrations.")

(pls reread >.>)

A-ny-way

As for donations, I do think we'll get enough donations. (Like always we'd have to asvertise a lot, and probably create account on even more sites.)

@Orangiah Your art is pretty nice! I'm sure people will be interested :) TYVM for your help!

Hmm I guess the Utaite Wiki community is quite small :/ Most people think of the wiki being managed by machines or something, and don't see any interest in becoming a member/editor and making it more accurate/complete... (Though many people do visit the site lol) Besides, from what I can tell: some youtaite seem to make fun of the wiki/don't like it, while other youtaite seem to like it.

About the group assignments: I think it depends on how many members a group has. If it's only 3 members, true if I was the one person who was randomly grouped with 2 good friends that'd suck, but if it were more members, this would work out.

Also even if some singers want to be in a group with a friend of theirs, there are still other members, who they could get to know better.

But I think having one friend, might ease some anxieties (IDK xD)

About advertising: I'm not too familiar with youtaiteradio, but from what I've seen, yea, why not owo)b (Like I've already said, I'm not too afraid of asking people upright)

What I've been thinking about: How long should each step last. I think the phases last time might have been a little too short :/ So to start off, what phases do we need:
 * Advertisement stage: publicity, sign-ups, donations, mixers(?), coaches(?)
 * Sign-up stage: more time for sign ups
 * Assignment stage: should be rather short I think
 * Get-to-know-each-other stage: should maybe be a bit longer?
 * Round stages: how many? how long?
 * we'll need to make sure, our announcement videos are on time, too! **coughcoughlasttimecough**
 * Whatever-else stage
