As I said b4 in a previous post, I WILL SHARE WITH Y'ALL MY
NEVERENDING LOVE FOR VOCALOIDS IN THIS POST <33333333333333333333
THE FIRST QUESTION
MOST PPL WILL COME UP WITH WHEN THEY COME ACROSS THE WORD VOCALOID FOR THE
FIRST TIME: What is a vocaloid?
*ppl r SO
predictable these days -__-*
Here the crap
wikipedia spews about it:
Vocaloid (ボーカロイド Bōkaroido?) is
a singing synthesizer.
Its signal processing part was developed through a joint research project led
by Kenmochi Hideki at the Pompeu Fabra University in Spain in 2000 and
originally was not intended to be a full commercial project. Backed by
the Yamaha Corporation it developed the
software into the commercial product "Vocaloid".[1][2] The
software enables users to synthesize singing by typing in lyrics and melody. It uses
synthesizing technology with specially recorded vocals of voice actors or
singers. To create a song, the user must input the melody and lyrics. A piano roll type
interface is used to input the melody and the lyrics can be entered on each
note. The software can change the stress of the pronunciations, add effects
such as vibrato, or change the dynamics and tone of the voice. Each Vocaloid is
sold as "a singer in a box" designed to act as a replacement for an
actual singer. The software was originally only available in English and Japanese,
but as of Vocaloid 3, Spanish, Chinese and Korean have
been added.
The software is intended for professional musicians as well as
light computer music users and has so far sold on the idea that the only limits
are the users' own skills.[3] Japanese
musical groups Livetune of Victor Entertainment and Supercell ofSony Music Entertainment Japan have
released their songs featuring Vocaloid as vocals. Japanese record label Exit
Tunes of Quake Inc. also have released compilation
albums featuring Vocaloids.[4][5] Artists
such as Mike Oldfield have also used Vocaloids
within their work for back up singer vocals and sound samples.[6]
OK BLAH BLAH BLAH HERE'S
DOLL'S MUCH BETTER
AND SHORTER DEFINITION:
Basically, vocaloids are singing
programs/softwares that work by matching lyrics to notes. They each have
unique voicebanks/voices that are developed by voice actresses. A producer
inputs the lyrics into the program and the notes that match with the lyrics.
Vocaloids originate from Japan -
which means most of them cannot sing English lyrics T.T (well, they can,
but it has that heavy AZN accent LOL). Might I also mention - THEY ARE EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:'( Vocaloid programs cost around $200 freaking USD (thats right, USD, not yen!!!) each !!!!!!!!!
Each vocaloid software have a
"character" on their software box to represent the program.
SOME STEREOTYPED BASTARDS WILL
JUST ASSUME THAT VOCALOID
CHARACTERS ARE JUST ANIME CHARACTERS.
WELL LEMME TELL THOSE PPL
SOMETHIN: WHEN U ASSUME, U MAKE A FRIGGIN GIANT ASS OUT OF YOU AND ME!
VOCALOIDS ARE NOT FREAKING ANIMES, DAMN IT!
OTHER PPL I CAN STAND: PPL WHO
FREAK OUT AND GO OMG THEY'RE NOT REAL, THEY'RE JUST ROBOT SINGERS,
OMIGOD JAPAN IS WEIRD, OMO ROBOTS ARE GONNA TAKE OVER THE WORLD 2012
BLAH BLAH, JAPAN JUST WANTS TO DEVELOP ROBOT PROSTITUTES!!!!!!
If ur like those ppl : GO F*** URSELVES U LITTLE ARSEHOLES
Ok, so I got a little off topic there -__-'' BUT DAMN IT I CANT STAND HATERS!!!! It's fine if they don't like vocaloids - BUT THEY DONT NEED TO SHOVE THEIR HAIRY ARSES EVERYWHERE AND TROLLING THEIR OPINIONS EVERYWHERE!
I have loved vocaloids since the day I discovered them <333333 I am officially obsessed with Japanese modern culture phenomenons :'D Unbelievably, I discovered vocaloids through ANOTHER MAKE UP TUTORIAL ! LOL
It's this one if you haven't seen it:
YEP! THAT'S RIGHT - ANOTHER MICHELLE PHAN TUTORITAL!!!!!
I love this tutorial for Hatsune Miku's make up and cosplay!!!!!!!! Just gorgeous! This tutorial
shows you how to look like Hatsune Miku - COMPLETELY LIKE HATSUNE MIKU. It's pretty
amazing!!!!
SO LEMME FINALLY START WITH MY
FAVORITE VOCALOIDS LIST (Top 5):
5) KAITO
KAITO - THE BLUE HAIRED
VOCALOID! :D Kaito's character design is supposed to be a 16 year old grown boy
- but his voice has a soft gentleness to it, kind of innocent-ish.
Listen to his voice in his song Sweet Beast (its perverted if u get it ;P):
As you can probably tell from that hyper-sexual video that his fan producers have made his character obsessed with sweets and sugary junk food (for some reason, all vocaloids seem to have fetishes for particular foods).
Kaito's special food is......ice cream.
Yeah, he's cute, BUT - a sixteen year old singing about ice cream? Urmmmmm somethings off .........
Which is why Kaito is my number 5 - the character design is cute and appealing as with most manga-style boys, but his fan-made personalities need some work
-___-
4) LILY
Unlike the other vocaloids I will be mentioning, Lily is not a mainstream vocaloid - which means she is not like a globally popular vocaloid developed by Crypton Future Media. She is made by a different developer company.
BUT - THIS DOES NOT TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM HER AWESOMENESS!!!!!!
Her voice/voicebank are ok, they aren't anything special - BUT OMIGOD I LOVE LOVE LOVE
HER CHARACTER DESIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIKE SERIOUSLY, IF I COULD PICK ONE VOCALOID TO LOOK LIKE, IT WUD BE
DEFINITELY LILY!!!!!!!
GAFDHSJSJDFLSKFL"S LOVE HER LONG HAIR AND DOLLY BLUE EYES! Plus her
clothes are SOOOOOOO cool - its just so bada**!!!!!
Lily's character is just a perfect combo of everything - rocker, cool, sexy, but with just the perfect
hint of sweetness and kawaii!
**** SO JELLY!!!!***** I wish I could look like her!!!!!!! At the very least, I WANT THAT SKIRT
AND TOP/CAPE - I NEED IT !!!!!!
3) LUKA
LUKA is the pink princess vocaloid, or so that's how I picture her in my head! I am biased to
her character design, bcuz well, I AM BIASED TO ANYTHING PINK!
Her voice is perhaps the most normal out of the all mainstream vocaloids - its not too high pitched or anything, but its just soothing, like how I'd imagine the voice of an older sister that I've never had to sound like!
But what REALLY sold me in to Luka?
It's this one fantastic, crazy, beautiful, and super catchy song: JUST BE FRIENDS!!!!
IT'S SO SWEET AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME T.T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND - Just Be Friends is the perfect freaking break up song for any boyfriend/girlfriend ;PPPP !
Whereas I really like Luka's character design and voice, I am a bit off but by her fan-made personality -___-''
Here's the current top comment on the video for Just Be Friends:
Funny? Yes! NORMAL? uhmmmm
The joke of course is regarding to Luka's fan-made personality based off her popular mvs :P
So sadly, I will hafta knock Luka down a few spots on my list bcuz apparently she wants to have sex with lots of underage girls. Heaven knows what perverted fantasies the fans are coming up these days -___-.
Sry Luka!
2) HATSUNE MIKU
Some of her fans might just kill me for putting her second, BUT MY OPINION IS MINE ALONE!
YES YES YES - we know her as the spoiled princess of her vocaloid world, queen of vocaloid culture and global pop/rock phenomenon for her girly, high pitched voice and rockstar smash-hit song, World Is Mine here below:
Hatsune Miku was the break-through vocaloid, the global trendsetter, the one who made brought the popularity of vocaloids to skyrocking rates.
Her character is a "tsundere". WHAT IS A TSUNDERE?
Well, basically, it's someone who acts all cold and hostile and resistant, but then eventually opens up and becomes all sweet and lovey dovey and shiz. You will see lots of tsunderes in Japanese culture - particularly anime and manga :PPPP.
Her software sold extremely well in Japan and she the #1 most popular vocaloid!
Her special item/food fetish is leeks. Which is why at her live concert (YES VOCALOIDS HELD A LIVE CONCERT) her fans have glowsticks in the shape of giant leeks:
This is her performing "World Is Mine" during a concert in Tokyo. It's pretty sick actually - they project the vocaloids as holograms on a clear glass screen in a solid dark concert room so it looks like they're real. SO COOL AND AMAZING.
HOWEVER - the video garnered A WHOLE FRICKING TON of controversy (thats why the comments have been disabled) as a bijillion arseholes complain about "OMG SHE'S NOT REAL" and other bullsh*t!!!!!!
It has VERY high views for vocaloids on youtube - 16,000,000 smthin views!!!!!!!!! Vocaloids are home to Japan, and are very popular on the Japanese site Nico Nico Douga (the Japanese youtube basically) but not so much on American youtube.
HOWEVER - don't let the youtube views fool you! They're still extremely popular!!!!! ( I wanted to see how many views she has on Nico Nico Douga, but its all Japanese, so I couldnt sign up for an account T.T)
Overall, I really like Hatsune Miku's songs and personality!
Unfortunetely, she is my #2 and not #1 bcuz I feel that, as with most Japanese school-girl style characters, she is aimed at targeting perverted Japanese fanboys/mans/watever.
Yep - this is what some of the fanpics look like. -___- Japan seems to be unnecessarily obsessed with throwing cute-faced anime girls at men, particularly through exposing their panties or other perverted ways.
Japan must have some sort of panties obsession/fetish, bcuz in just about every manga or anime or whatever, they seem to mention panties at least once -___-.
Now I'm not trying to insult Japan or make offensive stereotypes - BUT SRSLY WAT THE FREAK? I can understand fanboys liking girls BUT HOW FAR CAN UR MESSED UP FANTASIES GO??!?!??!??!?
Whatever - it is not my job to judge the Japanese market, bcuz there are just as many animes/mangas/video games/characters/other shiz targeting women as much as they do men.
So I got off topic there - but like I said, if Miku wasn't designed to be all cute and vulnerable and oh-so-obviously aimed at men, I might have liked her better.
Overall, she is an excellent vocaloid, and you can always google her up for more info :PPPP
AND NOW FOR THE MOST EXCITING PART!!!!!!
DOLL HAYDEN'S NUMBER ONE MOST
FAVORITE VOCALOID!!!!!
1) KAGAMINE RIN AND LEN/THE
KAGAMINE TWINS
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS MY LOVE FOR THE KAGAMINE TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kagamine Rin and Len were a special deal - after Miku's immense popularity, there was a HUGE demand for a boys voice, so they tossed Len (the boy) into the package with Rin!
AND THANK HEAVENS THEY DID BCUZ LEN IS SO ADORABLE AND SEXY AND JUST GAHHHHHHHHH *major nosebleed
It's pretty darn obvious that when Crypton Future Media (the company behind most of the mainstream vocaloids) released the Kagamine Twins, they had intended for the Kagamine Twins to be uhm well, TWINS.
However, its ALSO pretty darn obvious that the fans thought otherwise - look at these pictures portraying THEM AS LOVERS:
However, its ALSO pretty darn obvious that the fans thought otherwise - look at these pictures portraying THEM AS LOVERS:
GAHHHHHH I CANT EVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOOOO CUTEEE!!!!
Oh, YOU THOUGHT I WAS AGAINST THEM BEING LOVERS?
HAHAHAHAHHAHA, NOOOOOO!!!!!!
I AM ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
FOR THEM BEING LOVERS!!!!!
Now for those of you not used to Japanese culture - you may be weirded out and disgusted, like OMG HOW CAN PPL THINK OF THEM AS LOVERS??? THAT'S INCEST, AND THATS JUST GROSS!!!!!
WELL HELL TO THE NO U LITTLE MOTHER *********!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Incest is a popular cultural topic in Japan, ever since feudal times when brothers and sisters married each other as to preserve their family bloodline.
YOU SEE IT IN A LOT OF ANIMES!!!! (especially sibling incest)
So like I said, Crypton released the Kagamine Twins intending for them to be JUST twins, but then the fans had their own speculations, so now Crypton now claims they are neither twins nor lovers, but mirror images of each other -___-
Truthfully, they can be whatever the hell you make them out to be ;PPP!
Personally, I think of the Kagamine twins as two mirror images who love each other and may not necessarily be related by blood ;PPP
BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST TOO CUTE <33333 :DDDDD THEY ARE EVEN MY AGE! (14 years old!)
AND YES, I AM ABSOLUTELY LEN'S FANGIRL!!!! :DDDDDD <33333 !!!!!!!!!!!!
VERY FIRST VIDEO I'D EVER WATCHED OF THEM!!!!!!!! The song is called Cinderella <333
If you don't know, most vocaloids have "series", or a string of songs telling a certain story. This first song is by Kagamine Len, "Looking for you in the sky", and is the first part of the "Light and Shadow" or "Synchronicity" Series.
Here's part two called "Paradise of Light and Shadow":
Sadly, part three hasnt come out yet and we dont know if the producer of this series will ever finish it T.T
First off, THE SONGS ARE EPIC!!!!!! (especially Paradise of Light and Shadow !!! <333) The story line is beautiful and sad, and if u dont understand it, read this wiki post which explains the whole story in detail:
The next Kagamine series I watched was, of course, THE STORY OF EVIL SERIES.
Although cliche, THIS SERIES MADE ME CRY MY HEART OUT. T.T
I watched the songs of the series out of order, but you can still kinda piece together what's going on.
I watched Servant of Evil first, though Daughter of Evil is supposed to be first in the series:
The whole series is kinda based on the French Revolution, with Rin being an evil and cruel princess and Len is her faithful and loving servant who never abandons her. When the people try to overthrow Rin and tries to have her executed, Len swaps places with RIn (they are twins after all) and dies for her.
Later, another song in the series, Regret Message, is released sung by Rin, who regrets her selfishness, causing her twin brother to die. She wishes that they will be reborn in another life.
In the song, Rebirthday by Len, it shows how he and Rin are granted their ultimate wish, which is to be reborn in another life where they can be happy together (the ending shows them being born as vocaloids ;D)
For the full detailed story : http://vocaloid.wikia.com/wiki/Story_of_Evil
I'm not gonna post all the videos of the series here (cuz theres a TON of songs plus im lazy ;PPP) but scope around on youtube!
Now for ANOTHER EPIC SONG BY THE KAGAMINE TWINS THAT I AM ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED WITH:
The song is called Karakuri Burst (youtube flagged it as "offensive" -___-) AND I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
The reason why some ppl find it "offensive" is because it depicts Rin as a Japanese assasin and Len as a good guy who is trying to hunt down Rin.
Plus, not to mention Japan was allied with the Nazis, so its EVEN MORE misleading.
Whatever, watch at ur own digression blah blah blah. If u think ur gonna be offended, then dont watch.
The story of the song is basically Rin and Len were kidnapped when they were kids, and Rin was raised to be a crazy, blood-lusting assasin while Len somehow ends up in a different corporation.
Both twins think each other are dead until Len is sent to find Rin and detain her.
They meet and fight and fight and fight, until they realize they were twins and embrace each other.
ITS SO SAD AND BADA** AND SWEET AT THE SAME TIME T.T <3333333
AND IT HAS NO FUDGING RELATIONSHIP TO NAZIS OR WW II !!!!!!!!!!!!!! The idiots who mistook Len's symbol for a swastika probably didnt even understand the lyrics and just flagged it for utube. Sigh.
ITS THE BUDDHIST SYMBOL FOR PEACE JEEBUS - Len is on the GOOD side, remember?!?!??!?!
Gosh, w/e.
LEN LOOKS SO FUDGING SEXY AND HOT HERE!!!!!!!
AFS JKS:FJL"WELOWIEU IWOEUR OIUIOGU RIHFS I CANT EVEN !!!!!!!! <3333333
Rin looks deranged, but gorgeous!!!!
SOOOOO BADA**
SMEXY!!!!!!!! I am SOOOOOOOOO obsessed <3333333
LEN IS JUST <33333333 HE IS EVERYTHING FRM SUPER CUTE TO SUPER SMEXY HOT <3333333
HAHAHHAHAAHA <3333 If you haf Japanese family members or friends who can understand Japanese, I recommend listening to this with earbuds or when nobodys around ;PPPPP
This song is just SOOOOOOO <333333333 for the fan girls ;D sexxxyyy Len <333 I love u
Theres this gag among the fans that Len dies in every mv (mostly for Rin <3), BUT IN THIS CASE, ITS THE FAN GIRLS WHO DIE <3333333
Here are some of the smexiest fanpics I found of Len:
^^^^^This picture is like the sexiest picture of Kagamine Len ever <333333 OMFG <333333
