Who are these characters in particular?

It is XI, from what you've told me. I played DOA:D's story and found it laughable, tbh. Only fighting games I've played that nailed story were Mortal Kombat 9 and Injustice.

Fighting games story?
The series that got it best was Soul Calibur and they really dropped the dang ball in IV and more so in V.
They are either barebones (Street Fighter, Virtua Fighter) or ridiculous (BlazBlue and Mortal Kombat)
I used to be a big MK hater, but the past 2 games have really embarrassed all their peers and rivals in terms of sheer content and the games feeling less "icky" to play.

In a recent game?
I normally main girls too. Cammy, Eileen, Hitomi, Seung Mina (RIP in Peace ;_;)and now Cassie Cage.

The US dollar to Japanese yen exchange rate seems really good right now (good for Americans, at least). It's been about the same since December... but it didn't occur to me until now that maybe I should import some stuff. ::)

I've come to realize this after a friend and I blew through storytime in Xrd last night. All we wanted was to unlock a character, and when we thought about the time we spent watching it all, even blowing past as much of it as we could... we could've forked over the monetary equivalent of a can of soup and that would have been better.

Street Fighter Alpha, Street Fighter 4 - Rose, who dies a lot in her endings.
Blazblue - Tsubaki was my instant main the moment I saw Continuum Shift. And she goes psycho.
Xrd Sign - Elphelt. No one really knows what happens to her, but yeah. Worst luck in the game.
Persona 4 - My almost four for four, I almost picked Labrys, who eventually gets a good ending. I mained Yuu in P4U.
I played a bit of Mahvel, but that doesn't really count.

--- End quote ---
I probably will, but i don't really feel confident, although i have been practicing Aoi Tori for quite a while now. But if i really want to make a serious recording, i'd want to do it with a backing track, which makes things much harder (your tempo really needs to be correct, which isn't all that important if you are just playing for yourself). Years ago, before i made a break with playing ocarina because learning japanese (kanji in particular) took a huge junk of my free time, i also practiced relations, i don't think it should be all that hard to get into that one again. I also want to practice yakusoku.
On that note: does anyone have an off vocals version of Aoi Tori, relations or Yakusoku?
In the meantime you can take a look at this piano/ocarina duet cover of yakusoku: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvwTgWcaVNg
As for my own recordings that have nothing to do with im@s, i have 2 i can offer, but i made them more to fiddle around a bit with reverb and i made a mistakes in both of them and they don't have backing tracks:
Cosmo Canyon from FFVII, played on a Noble Alto F
Fields of Athenry an Irish ballad, played on a Rotter ZFan Alto C.
