So here's a question: Does anyone on Menewsha listen to Vocaloid music?
For those of you who don't know, Vocaloid is a singing software. The originals are Japanese voice banks, such as Hatsune Miku, but America is picking up on the trend. (Think Lola, Tonio, etc.) I would write more, but I'm dead tired although it's only 10 PM.
My favorite Vocaloid is Kaito ~ When he's used correctly, he sounds so realistic.
A list of released Vocaloids:
Japanese
Hatsune Miku
Rin Kagamine
Len Kagamine
Meiko
Kaito
Gakupo
Luka Megurine
Gumi
Miki
Kiyoteru Hiyama
Kaai Yuki
Lily (August 25!)
English
Prima
Big Al
Sweet Ann
Tonio
Leon
Sonika
Lola
Miriam
(More? I don't keep up to date with the English Vocaloids.)
As we speak, several new Vocaloids are being made... I can't wait!
I just looked it up since it seems to be a big fad right now. I personally do not like music that's electronic too much. They do create some catchy songs though.
I almost always have Double Lariat stuck in my head. It just goes round, and round... Just like Luka spinning. XD My favorite song right now is Kuma Beat, though. >.<
Ooh, -Mimes, do you have photos of your cosplay? That's so cool!
@Mystic - I agree, sometimes the electronic sound is a bit too much, but sometimes Vocaloids can sound so real. 0.0 It's amazing.
@HappyStarr - What's your favorite song? =o
0.0 oh ya...I cosplayed Rin at Katsucon. XD I'm not showing any pictures, though. I want to remake the costume..and definitely make the shorts better. >.>
My favorites..hmm...
Well, I love the Daughter of Evil series--my friend showed me these and it got me into the whole Vocaloid thing,
"Memories" by Miku (I really wanna cosplay this version of Miku..it's soo pretty, and I haven't seen a single person do it yet. >D ),
"Trick or Treat" by Rin and Len...
OH! "Gekokujou" by Rin and Len (another future Cosplay)...
"Sakasama Reinboo" by Miku and Rin...
"Music of Heavens" by Rin (I want that hair..so bad...)
"Kasane Territory" by Teto
"We are POP☆CANDY!" by Miku
and..and..I could probably go on forever. I actually kind of want to get a little mini Rin cosplay series going. And then use them for smaller cons and events so I don't need to do a ton of work or preparation until the bigger ones like Katsucon, AUSA and Otakon (only been to Katsu so far. Hopefully will be doing Terra from Teen Titans or Balsa from Moribito at AUSA...). Of course, I can't sew worth beans yet..so it'll be a while. ^_^"

I adore the Vocaloids, but admittedly I didn't know there were English ones. I especially like Rin and Len Kagamine, they're my favorites. Wish I could find out where I could download more Vocaloid songs from though, cause the program I use sucks.
Ah~ I love vocaloid~ My favorites are probably Len, Rin, Miku, and Gumi. ^^ I love their voices! I also like the fan-singers as well. ^^ Most of them are pretty good.
Luka is my favorite because her voice sounds more mature and less squeaky compared to Miku, in my opinion. But then again I guess Luka was made after Miku, and the process of making her software was probably based off of trial and error for older Vocaloids. And Miku's got those iconic pigtails, beat sleeve thingys, headphones, and a LEEK.
As much as Gakupo makes me giggle, I feel like the software can't make Gackt's true timbre shine. But... eggplants are cool. :3
i love vocalids i want to say my favorite is luka i love her so much T^T but i love all of them O.o...buuuuuuuut...she is my favorite i dare to ssay <3
I love Miku and Ren. My favorite songs are 'Love is War' 'I like you, I love you' and 'World is Mine'.
Is it said that I know all the Japanese lyrics off by heart.
VOCALOID AHH!!! I looove vocaloid! <3. My favorites are Hiku and Natune ( the blond one with the side ponytail... i dont think shes an official one though x.x)
