A HIStory of Djp
DJP was started in September of 2013.
One day, arcobaleno (Ryan) was watching a few videos of another cover group he liked, Amai Fruit Project, on YouTube, and while watching their cover of Watashi ga Iu Mae ni Dakishimenakya ne by Juice=Juice, he happened to look at the names of the girls singing and seen, by chance, a "Thea."
A few weeks earlier, MejraThea (now just Thea) had made a comeback to the MM-BBS, where arcobaleno frequently stalked, being an active member, and he recognized her name.
He loved how beautiful her voice was, so he sent her a PM on the BBS, and she replied thanking him. They got to talking, and eventually they decided to open a cover group that also accepted guys as well as girls.
The idea had been cooking in both their heads for some time, but it finally came to fruition with DJP.
They went to both Hello! Online, the BBS, YouTube, the Amai Fruit Project forums (thanks, Thea~) and even the Voice Acting Alliance to spread the word of auditions. arco's thread for the auditions never got the OK on the VAA, and only 2 people responded on H!O, one of which, Cherry, sent in audition, but later on never submitted her lines for even the first single, and was kicked out.
Arcobaleno, asked aine, the admin of the BBS, whether I could post auditions, and he said sure. He posted auditions, and sure enough, between YT and the BBS, we got a whole bunch of auditions.
We set off on and since October of 2013, we've steadily released singles, and even when we aren't we're just having a grand 'ole time together.
More than sounding "ultra-awesome" and "cool," DJP is mostly about fun and friendship!
