They are and I usually have good success with people not familiar with vocaloids who I share Mikgazer vol 1 with.

Track 11 by くらげP is my favorite (千年の雨の終わりに). I listen to it with some frequency.

I have never managed to find a copy of the actual album to buy, but the FLAC rip one goon once shared with me is one of my little treasures.

I'm trying to find a miku doujin(?) album from way back maybe like 09-10?

I want to say it was called Ozzanta? Or something very similar. Had 6-7 songs on it and had the very old vocaloid sound of processed computer words. Help!

Oooooooooooh!

As long as we're posting favorites, I've always considered OSTER Project to be one of the best producers out there and this song really hits considering what's known about her personal life:
(watch with English CC if you can)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AKhSsixkR4

It's a song about Miku confessing her love for Rin (OSTER Project is allegedly a married lesbian woman in Japan).
I dunno, seems pretty cool and progressive, plus she really gets that emotion out of Miku in the final bits of the song.


EDIT: Oh wow, I didn't realize this song I've heard a lot before had similar themes, too:

Amazing recommendations and posts here, especially 23.exe. They definitely flew under a lot of radars and LIME is a fantastic album worth seeking out (and the music videos are all super fun).

One of my more recent favs is Hachiya Nanashi who I came across after Jitterbug got added to Project Diva:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rAblF_p704

and then Soap got me completely hooked on his style:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHRlXm_tV8o

Mitchie M's been mentioned, so I'll bring up one of my other favs, Camellia. He doesn't really do Vocaloid anymore as he's largely moved on to rhythm games and his own works but if you're at all into his rhythm game stuff you should give Stance on Wave a look, it's an incredible album.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvKUOKAgWuc

Fly to night, tonight by Camellia remains my favorite Miku song to date.

dunno - this song is done with that particular style of hoarseness in the singer's voice that became prevalent in slow pop/indie edm in last couple of years, so even though its style wasn't synthesized nearly as much back then chances are it was done by Gumi, as Miku's pitch is just too drat high.

However in the covers scene with Sachiko Kobayashi as the trump card, it becomes much more probable

Speaking of covers Ayakasi Kagura is the sole singer/songwriter/musician of his growler metal project, but for this one track he's experimented with featuring Rin (and has later went on cover it himself on his newest album)

It's a pretty great free rhythm game and they give you a ton of stuff for free (in fact, the in-app prices are so exorbitantly expensive that I can't ever imagine buying anything anyway).
What's also cool is the gimmick of the anime characters in-game singing these vocaloid cover songs alongside the vocaloids themselves.

I'm really liking it so far, it plays a lot like Chunithm, which is a very cool and fun arcade game you should absolutely try if you ever see one out in the wild. I've gotta find a better way to hold my phone or hit the notes though, I struggle really bad with anything over 22~ or so difficulty. Oh and they released "Miku" by Anamanaguchi as a gift song today, which is super neat of them.

On a side note, according to his Twitter, Giga is dropping a new song for Christmas tomorrow!!

I play with my thumbs and just resigned myself to never going above Hard. That’s usually where I end up in most rhythm games anyhow, like slightly above normal difficulty but never the 500-star uber-expert level stuff. I use these games to relax anyhow, so I prefer not to panic while playing.

The haptic vibration on every note is very satisfying, I’ve gotta say.

I'm also spending so much time on this game to check every new conversation that pops up back in the world after you finish a song (since it upgrades the characters' rank and gets you some free stuff). I think it stops rewarding you after viewing 50 conversations per character.
Nightcord is probably the best story of the bunch, agreed. However, I realize the depressed character who's emotionally numb will never have a truly resolved storyline since you'll always have to have the world conversations make sense no matter where you are in the plot. All of the characters are kinda locked into a single archetype permanently. Kind of a sad realization, lol.

I like the conversations between the pink haired and blond amusement park performer characters the most because she's just so wacky and annoying to him.

No, I've played the JP version, there's a lot of character development. More cross group interactions, characters learning more about each other. They introduce new area convos after events and every month or two. Some of the older event convos don't really make sense with the newer stuff, but the game already has that problem: In the Nightcord story, the characters have never met in real life at the start, but in the area convos, they all already hang out and talk in real life and know each other's real names. So it's no big deal for area convos to sometimes contradict future character development if that problem already exists, longterm invested players are the most likely to notice that issue, and they're unlikely to not have seen most of the original area convos.

Heck, the eng version already has major character development. Mafuyu goes from playing nice with the other Nightcord members to being blunt and rude to them because she was told to be honest. There are area convos that show her acting both ways with them already in the game. She's having character development already, and there's more for her in the JP version already. So probably more in the future. I doubt her deal will ever be completely resolved, but then, is anyone's deal ever completely resolved? It more just changes shape or you get better at dealing with it.

Ohhhh, cool. Yeah, after the marionette event storyline I just watched, it seemed like it'd be a shame if Mafuyu doesn't advance a little bit. Nice to know.

EDIT: BTW, is it just because everyone just started that our scores never go above B? Are the scores really tied to you having leveled up 4* characters? Seems like a silly carrot to have the players chase after, but I guess they had to have some kind of goal equivalent in a gacha game. I'm also almost exclusively playing co-op because it says that the drops are better. Is that right to do?

EDIT 2: From looking around the ProjectSekai reddit, it seems like people say upgraded 3* characters are more cost-effective most of the time. Good to know so I don't blow all my resources.

I suppose if you play long enough you're bound to get a few lucky 4* pulls, but it's nice to know that the 3* are just as well since I don't really wanna blow a ton on gacha bucks.

Mostly B-ranks are just because co-op rooms are gonna be populated by the lower level players who barely have anyone leveled, which lowers the overall score. I got into the pro rooms with a team with 2 4*s on it and it was constant S Ranks.

Good to know. Of course, the way I’m playing is customizing a (lower-scoring) event bonus team to squeeze the maximum event rewards out of each play, so my uber-rank team is on the sidelines until the “in-between events” days.

Why is this drat game so addictive, lol.
