*Closed* [Nekomimi Village Festival] Sub-venue: I will compose music for your story, July 7th–15th
This is the sub-venue for the summer festival event, the 'Nekomimi Village Festival'.
Since this is a music project hosted by Nyanksy-san, I have joined as the person in charge of the sub-venue.
Now, as for what I will be doing, it is exactly as it sounds: I want to hold a project where I compose music for your story!
And since I'm going to the trouble of composing music, I'd like you to write your story under some slightly twisted rules.
After all, I'm the one composing the music for it!!!
I will compose music for your story
<<Application Requirements>>
I will compose an original theme song inspired by the story you submit!
* The music will be instrumental (no vocals).

I will compose music based on the submitted stories.
The limit is 6 works.
*If more than 6 stories are submitted, I will assign them sequential numbers in the order they were posted and hold a random lottery.
*2+2+2 equals 'nyan-nyan-nyan' (meow-meow-meow).
If there are no submissions at all, I will flip the table and cry.
Please apply!
[Announcement Timing]
I will announce the lottery results around July 16th or 17th.
After that, I plan to upload the composed music sequentially during the Nekomimi Village Festival period.
[Other Notes]
The author retains the copyright to the submitted works.
I may use the title of the work as the title of the song.
I will allow some erotic or grotesque content, but please include a note such as 'contains graphic violence.' Anything that violates public order and morals is not allowed.
Anything discriminatory or defamatory is not allowed.
Please clearly state if the work was generated by AI.
If you have submitted your work to other projects, double submissions are fine as long as it is okay with the other project.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask in the comments section.
By the way, regarding the music itself, I am not very skilled, so even if you give me requests like 'I want this kind of song...', I often cannot make such music.
For this project, I would appreciate it if you could leave it to me without making requests regarding the musical style.
For reference, here are some songs I have created based on stories so far.
I created this with the image of 'Goat's Dream,' a mad simulation program that appears in my own chaotic sci-fi epic 'For Risako.'
↓
This is a song I created with the image of '3001: The Final Odyssey' by Arthur C. Clarke.
↓
I created this with the image of my own sci-fi novel 'Panspermia.'
It is a story about a protagonist who is taken in by an unknown celestial body from outside the solar system and learns a shocking truth.
↓
This is a song I composed inspired by the Chinese animation 'Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation'.
It is a story about incredibly beautiful immortals.
The protagonist I support and his partner's weapons are a flute and a zither, respectively.
↓
This is a song I composed inspired by my own Japanese-style fantasy work, 'Spring Demon'.
It is a story about a boy who wanders into a shrine, encounters a beautiful deity, and loses track of time.
↓
I also have various songs that are not based on stories, so please feel free to use them as a reference.

I would be very happy if those who are new here would also apply.
