And I really love these guys.
Also I'm REALLY BORED. =w=;; And in the future, it'll be nice to have something like this to look back at.
So allow me to take you into the world of Gemini :DDDDDD ...... -grabs your hand-
Introduction/History:
HI. WE'RE GEMINI. (in order of age) Jay, Eva, Ryan, Mimi, Chiisana, and Jeffrey. Together, we're like a G6~
Interestingly, none of us are Geminis by sign: we have two Tauruses, two Virgos, an Aries, and a Pisces. So how did we get our name? The group started out as a quartet featuring two pairs of voice twins that also blended exceptionally with each other: Ryan and Jay, and Mimi and Eva.
Gemini then became full with the addition of Jeffrey and Chiisana (both of whom have more distinctive vocals yet still have similar tones as the others) in preparation for DUBattle Royale 2011.
We're not sure how--against so many talented and likable groups that we were honored to have participated alongside--but somehow we won.
Long story short, the competition tore us apart and glued us together again countless times. It was scarring and tiring... But in the end, it was a good experience because we learned much about each other, created products that we poured hard work and sleepless nights into, and were taught much about singing, mixing, graphic and video editing, and teamwork. ^^
<-- OKAY WOW NOW I'M JUST GETTING TOO FEELSY, SO MOVING ON =w=
Personality
Jay
He's nicknamed the Saint for a reason. Our lime green-loving eldest member who's actually one of the cutest and most innocent and bighearted by nature. He's also kind of our reliable money-making papa as he rakes in most of the neopoints in Gemini's joint Neopets account (in which the 6 of us are mothers to our baby shoyru, Mochiryu -nodnod- ;u;). But don't be fooled, because behind his harmless, soft appearance is BeyonJay--our group's local clever troublemaking pun-spewing diva. Also secretly a unicorn.
Eva
Registered officially in DUBattle Royale 2011 as the "producer" of the group, and sometimes considered leader, although we don't technically have one. Nags the other members a lot and often plays the tsun character, but really cares about the group and has Chiisana's chibi drawings of the 6 members (displayed at the end of Scissorhands Romantica and Yume no Tsubasa) as her phone wallpaper. The only member without a nickname or distinct role. Claims to be magical. Secretly a mermaid pixie.
Ryan
Just as his name suggests, this boy is like royalty. Aside from his princely voice, he is the "King" figure of the group with high standards for everything that he does--whether singing-related or not. Currently works in a French bakery, where he invokes collective bittersweet jealousy with pictures of the cakes that he's decorated. ._.;; Our sweet and protective, but unconditionally honest fashionista who is the face/visuals of Gemini. owob Also sometimes transforms into Ryhanna and divas it out alongside his partner BeyonJay.
Mimi
The group's wonderfully warm Mimi Mama. She's cute. And extraordinarily intelligent. And kind. And talented. And pretty. And bubbly. And clever. And caring. And mature. And friendly. And honest. And sweet. And warm. And hard-working. And wise. And strong. And interesting. And considerate. And all-around amazing. And everything you want in a girl. But taken.
Chiisana
Vocal-wise, the star of Gemini. We call her our Hidden Gem and our Goddess. Equipped with an extraordinary heartfelt and powerful voice and enough kindness to cure an illness, this girl is adorable and lovable beyond all means although her modesty and extreme shyness suggests that she believes otherwise. .-. She's always willing to lend a hand and always tries her best. ;u; However behind her fragile appearance is a strong voice that takes confidence when on stage. Also secretly a troublemaking pun-spewing cleverbot. Who has a pet rock. Who is named Rock-kun.
Jeffrey
Our resident Troll. Inspired our rendition of SNSD's "The Boys" ...... "The Trolls." He's a troll. And really likes SNSD. Trollage. And he lives on the opposite side of the world as the rest of the members, in Australia where misses out on all of the chatroom action due to timezones. =w= But despite how much he pretends to not care, HE LOVES US AND WE ALL KNOW IT. The youngest and probably least innocent of all the members, although he still has much pure naivety. A good kid with a big heart who's sociable, brave, and ambitious.
Voice
Jay
The youngest sounding of the boys despite being the oldest. A light and thin voice, with a generally cute tone. Lots of energy; better with cheery songs (e.g. Hello!Project). Very solid and accurate with pitch. Good at one shots. The only non-vibrato-centric member even though he has vibrato, although he claims otherwise. He calls it a waver, forevermore known as Jay's Wafers. =w=)b Yummy.
Eva
Youthful tone. Light and thin voice, usually a clear/pure tone. Has some energy. Cooler-sounding rather than warm. Unfortunately is sometimes the group's main rapper. =A=;; Relies a lot on vibrato, which is relatively controlled and distinct.
Ryan
Tone ranges from moderately youthful to moderately mature, depending on song. Light'ish sound with a bassy undertone. Sometimes raps. Pitch perfect and consistent. Flexible; good at runs and riffs. THE ONE SHOT MASTER. Very well-controlled and strong, impactful vibrato.
Mimi
Youthful, sweet, but warm and heavy tone. Very full voice, sometimes airy. Feminine and soft yet powerful. Raps, and is usually in charge of speed raps. Moderately strong, natural vibrato that is utilized and placed well.
Chiisana
Youngest of girls but has most mature tone. Feminine, strong voice that changes with song or emotion. Warm but not heavy. Frequently has natural, fluttery-type vibrato.
Jeffrey
Most mature sounding of the boys despite being the youngest. Full, heavy voice with chest support. A smooth, powerful, but sweet tone. Sometimes raps. Almost constantly has a natural fluttering vibrato which contributes to his timbre.
Range
Jay
Bass. More flexible with high notes and head voice. Bit less comfortable with low notes than the other boys.
Eva
Alto. Very limited higher range; often resorts to head voice. Likes med-low notes.
Ryan
Bass. More flexible and comfortable with low notes than other boys, but bit less comfortable with high notes.
Mimi
Alto. INCREDIBLY extended high range for an alto. Can also do dolphin notes easily. Likes med-low notes.
Chiisana
Mezzo soprano. ........ dayum qurl.
Jeffrey
Previously bass, and now baritone. Might soon even break tenor. An increasingly improving and extending higher range, but still comfortable with lower notes.

As A Whole
YAY BLENDING YAY. Unfortunately, sometimes people think that all the girls sound alike, all the guys sound alike, etc.. but hey on the bright side, that lets us blend!
Duet partners within the group are usually Ryan-Mimi, Jay-Chiisana, and Jeffrey-Eva.
All members are pretty comfortable with singing in both Japanese and Korean. Some even dabble moderately in Mandarin Chinese.
We also have similar interests and activity in genres of music and communities of singing respective genres: K-pop, vocaloid, Hello! Project. (Jeffrey, who's not so fond of H!P, is an exception ehehe. He still sings it though when we force him to<3)
All members are dorks. And we like puns.
We're also armed with weapons and dangerous.
Mimi has an axe, Eva has a chainsaw named Murder-kun, Jeffrey has a housewife broom, Ryan has a manpurse (for whacking), Jay has a pencil (for stabbing), and Chiisana has.... a Rock-kun.
