It's been several years since I started delving into singing competitions, and much of it has been a wonderful ride, allowing for Pokémon opportunities (in particular) that I once thought were out of reach to happen. With regard to "reach", now I want to consider different things for this purpose, specifically the Pokémon songs I can and want to sing in the future as well as have sung in the past. These become my prospects for these competitions, with my goal being to involve Pokémon as much as possible and possibly get some appreciation for that.
First up is the past. Obviously, some songs have resulted in wins (Best Wishes, XY&Z) while others have only resulted in laudable performances outside of competitions (Mezase Pokémon Master, Pokémon Theme). Yet others still have not resulted in anything, and those are the prime candidates to be taken up again in future competitions. As a fallback, Mezase Pokémon Master is the only one I would repeat if only to try to get just one win out of it. By and large, it's the "unproductive" ones that I'm trying to make "productive" for this purpose.
Meanwhile, I'm also considering the performance of gentler songs or at the least ones whose lyrics I can keep up with. This is partially considering the suggestion that a friend had made a very long time ago to not try to take up songs in the rock genre, but also because to a certain extent, my memory isn't what it used to be as a consequence of age. Evidently, this was true for the time I tried to perform "Acacia", which is likely not to become competition fodder anytime soon; other Pokémon songs will have to be prioritized ahead of this example.
Then, there are just other things to consider. One of those is making dramatic performances with songs that I already know by heart, which might just mean repeating a song between performances in part as "practice" for that objective. Also, consideration of songs by both male and female singers is at hand, even though many of my performances have been those of the latter, to keep affirming myself as a "versatile singer" who can sing just about anything... although if the above is of any indication, some things will have to be focused on.
As an adjunct to cosplay competitions in festivals, competitions, and such, the singing competitions have become useful outlets for me to show off my Pokémon interests, but that doesn't mean they can't be improved. The above considerations become the ways for possible improvements, to reach for things that couldn't be obtained previously and things to be able to be obtained in the future. The past, present, and future for me is still Pokémon, and that has to be realized in as many ways as possible, even through continued prospects in singing.
