[Tag spotlight] I don’t have anything to give you, so I’ll sing you X

And that’s how she earned the name “Alice Carteloid”

何もあげられるもの無いから○○を歌うよ (I don’t have anything to give you, so I’ll sing you X) is a series of MAD videos featuring Alice Cartelet from Kiniro Mosaic. The opening dialogue at the start of each video goes like this:

Aya	“Shino, happy birthday!”
Shinobu	“Eh?”
Aya	“It’s today, right?”
Shinobu	“It is! Thank you!”
Youko	“Seriously? I thought it was soon. In that case… I’ll give you my juice.”
Shinobu	“Thank you!”
(Alice gets up and runs to the front of the room)
Alice	“I don’t have anything to give, so I’ll sing a song.”
Shinobu	“Wow, a song?”

What typically follows is then a clip of Alice “singing” a song, whether it be Renai Circulation, Evans or Nyan Cat. The video then ends with Shinobu’s response.

Shinobu

“Why didn’t you sing in English!?”

The people who make these MADs sure have a lot of musical talent – a large number of them involve manipulating Alice’s voice to get the right pitches. Some even have multiple tracks for her voice, in order to have a bass going.

Even the director likes these MADs.
