Since I was in GSM2 and had some success (my team ended up winning), why not join this one. I'm unfamiliar with both series but I'd like to try anyway. Only problem is that I'm going to be out of town for a weekend in July (due to my birthday).
I may come to regret what this will do to the crumbs of my remaining spare time, but I want to join in. I see this as a great opportunity to explore Koshiro's music, which I'm not exactly familiar with and thus is a good "neutral" ground for me, and also to work on my own production and arrangement skills.
