I’m here to share with you all one of people behind the vocals in Star Academy, and she is actively making music!! This is her, and I encourage you all to give her stuff a listen and support her: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2lpGnpxGqS2rOJRFnLFuT6?si=ZAiWBL6nRROs0z7E0GgA_A
So for context, after independently researching any potential vocalists for the game with no luck, I managed to get in contact with someone who worked on star academy back in the day. This person was extremely kind to lend me their time and I am incredibly grateful for it.
before I go into anything more, I really need to preface something super super important: I was really worried about sharing this because I don’t want anyone bombarding Ms. Venior with weird questions about a silly horse game. When I shared the salon songs with y’all, someone willy nilly uploaded one of the tracks to Spotify, which hey!! Why would you do that! Basically some of you guys have issues with boundaries and unfortunately need to be told to act normal.
Venior knows very little about star academy and definitely knows nothing about SSO. I feel like I shouldn’t even have to say this, but simply be respectful of her and her privacy! Please please please don’t be weird. I’m begging. Supporting her music is the best way to show you appreciate her, so let’s be considerate about this my fellow horse girls.
My original intentions were to wait until all vocalists for Lisa, Kyomi, and Brittany were found before sharing anything, but whether or not the rest of them are reachable or if they want themselves shared remains up in the air indeterminately. My ultimate goal here was to find out if any of the vocalists were still working in music or creative fields; I wanted to support them as a thanks for how they helped make these games so special. However, protecting people’s privacy always comes first and I want to ensure that everyone feels respected. In fact, the reason I spoke with Venior in the first place was to get her permission to share her work with you guys, which of course she allowed.
So with all that said, here’s what I’ll share about what I know:
I think something extremely interesting which was shared by both my super awesome star academy contact and Venior is that they were under the impression that the game was likely abandoned and never published. I found this so shocking, especially because there’s so many of us out there who still love this game and all its mysteries.
Another thing that Venior shared with me was how she had to record both regular vocals and off key vocals. I never even considered that the vocalists would have to record off key. I honestly thought they just edited the tracks that way after the fact. Just so so cool to me.
So another big question: Which girl did she sing for? Venior actually didn’t know! She asked me if I had any ideas and I cannot be entirely certain, but my educated guess is that she voiced Lisa. I narrowed it down by comparing Lisa, Kyomi, and Brittany’s vocals to her own; Lisa was our most accurate match. Like imagine representing Lisa’s most iconic era, no one will ever be as cool in all of star stable history.
Anyways, hope you’re as excited about this information as I am, and y’all please don’t make me regret sharing this! Let’s be cool about it. Thanks :).
Btw my fav songs from her are Mind Trip and Galaxy Thunder, they’re mad yummy, give em a hear.
