Some winter vocaloid to help get through this coldest part of the year: MikitoP is a formidable singer himself yet chooses to write chill vocaloid songs, and it doesn't get much more mellow than being on a night train https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcuAHXZDNJw MinusP conveys well the clarity of winter through Len's voice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOEltAe_PSA The traditional festive carol by someone named MichaelM.

Pasketti posted:thats a cover not an original so technically no Hachi vocaloid was actually posted Apologies for having hastily reposted MatOryoshka for like the 3rd time itt. To atone for this I'm looking to further forcefully assist those that braved on to find more kickass vocaloid MVs akin to Sand Planet with the help of another superduper popular J-Pop artist Eve (whose info had aready been posted on the ground floor) going on to cover this one particular Hachi work just few month later. Now you've probably been through and appreciated all of Hachi's MVs as well as taken a look at Eve's YT channel and were like there are some dopeass MVs here too, however they're all of him singing! Are they originals, are they covers, do they have vocaloid covers, is Eve, Hachi, and Kaito the same person?! And for this I applaud Eve's horse sense for making the most out of the same MVs for (different audiences?  ) by recycling them in his own vocaloid covers of his own YT songs separately on his Nico channel (albeit resulting in jankier lip sync):https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm32338124 https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm33475587

Say Yes and feel the Rush of these Vocaloid jam bands! When Shimesaba Twisters isn't experimenting in making vocaloid all that more delightfully weird, they can be quite good at channeling their creativity in a sane direction when featured as a guest artist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL-46CCW3zM Either the off and on-vocals version of Fukkireta by Tokyo Active NEETs sounds distinctly good in its own unique way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bR3EeBUkV0 Gyari who's been mentioned before is a streamy/vtubery producer that's pretty adept at herding the cast of Vocaloids into a jazzy ensemble. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vme3SGv7jQU Nakyamurya has collaborated with Gyari on multiple projects which is like forming an actual jam band for a certain duration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S1qa9umu0s

Vocaloid spotlight - Yukari the purple moon, never got the level of crowd recognition as the other official TTS androids, possibly due to her chimeric voicebank offering ironically being designed to incubate her into the role of a ubiquitous backup singer. As SeleP said in the original video (sm26843907), this is their sample progression through Yukari's voicebanks across her genre-specific tones for about a minute each as follows: Jun + Lin → Onn → Onn → Lin + Jun → Jun + Onn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD8iA9Wtdrg Still not sure why one of the most popular Yukari songs (sm17637208) isn't on KurageP, its creator's YT channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLq8oK71wWs After her release in Vocaloid V3 there's been a period of heavy experimentation with Yukari's broad vocal range, yet only a few were able to achieve as unique of a club sound from her voicebanks as KagomeP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEePKH_mzWI Yokomin is one of the few musicians that could mold a Vocaloid's low range into sounding non-Kaito like, an achievement that on its own is deserving of praise... and that backing track, just gosh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1t_xxWaWkw

Tearjerkers and other Vocalodramatics Some of the most sentimental lyrics from none other than PinocchioP. Turning on closed captioning might be worthwhile. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLevj9bdRRA OkameP's tracks are infused with lots of raw emotion, and he refuses to refine the way they speak from the heart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cxPxmV0HDQ With this song being chartered by Sony, Ryo the producer from the band Supercell had finally made it big and announced his, perhaps temporary at the time, retirement from the scene as any talented diva of his caliber would, except that after all these years his resignation became as good as permanent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_sAipsAhPA It was exactly a miracle. The robot that obtained "Kokoro" kept singing. She sang all of her feelings. But the miracle lasted only a moment. The "Kokoro" was far too big for her. Unable to withstand that weight, the machine shorted. and was never to move again. However, her face was filled with smile, she looked like an angel. -ToraborutaP with an oldie (sm2500648) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHYBLM3OdL4

No - dead producers isn't a band name, and as a lot of Vocaloid tends to vocalize on life's various hardships it's all too tragic when some of the creators float belly up under its pressure. There was talk of one of the VocalOGs, Samfree, having written Luka Night Fever in '09 while trying to pull himself out of another bout of depression, a seemingly recurring state which abruptly ended in 2015. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHq7YIH4r9Y Shiki composed around that vintage eurotrash/shmup sound, which would unfortunately never see the light of further iterations past V2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEKnmbKgQ4o Wowaka was the prototypical breakthrough artist backed by a string of vocaloid hits around 2010 circulating alongside their trademark monochrome visuals - including the timeless classic Rolling Girl. Though shortly after he kind of slowed production altogether until 2019, when his health became completely off limits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzVn4IPmhK4 Back in 2013 PowapowaP wrote this goodbye song for a friend as a tribute, only to have himself pass away at age of 20 two years later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3wYTv2seEA

Bootleg Vocaloid Spotlight - Teto the baka idol, the bad meme magnet, and the most popular flavor of GNU/Linux Vocaloid, aka Utauloid, who's pretty much the antithesis of the commercial vocal embodiment of Yukari in her Internet 1.0 message board following. Teto get in the Eva suit! Fine, you can yell drill break. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp72v5F9bgk Early on Teto's imperfect sound was mostly defined as both robotic and nasal due to Utau's software trailing in serious adoption behind the for-profit studios. But even though most indies are content to integrate her as-is into their releases to this day, well into the 2010s her familiar stereotype would begin to see a shift to a more humanoid sound with the help of continuous evolution in both the production pipeline and the unapologetic glitch dub sounds themselves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1jfqyDU41M While it's OK to pass up on a voicebank with such a prominent lisp, creatively leaning into a mouthful of marbles can sometimes produce charming results. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CCblmK8BMg And of course her meme cred wouldn't complete without a proper Ameno 🙏 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFCVujdYc24

BTW, this is just an question I had when seeing an ad for a game featuring Hatsune Miku & pals: Are they really called "Piapro characters" now instead of Vocaloids? Because that kinda sucks. Is this all because of the companies behind the software going their separate ways?

Yamaha originally owned and developed the VOCALOID version 1 through 5 virtual singer production software while relying on a bunch of 3rd party companies to create the voicebanks for it. Some of the earliest and most popular singer IPs like Meiko, Kaito, Miku, Rin/Len, Luka were created by Crypton who have now released their own competing Piapro studio and pulled their partnership with Yamaha, meaning they can no longer use the licensed term Vocaloid© in marketing.

But Crypton's dissenting dominance in the commerce of "vocaloids" in social media over Yamaha's traditional reclusive arm's length approach has been going on for almost half a decade now, as a huge number of producers that have chosen to list their works on Crypton's piapro.net under their own profiles as one of the sources for their mp3 repositories, whether paid or free. Also since Miku & Co's intellectual property was never outright sold to Yamaha, only leased during the development of VOCALOID 1-4, Crypton has been uploading entire artist discographies featuring their core Vocaloid cast to Youtube in the manner of auto-generated artist "Topics". Here's where the "who can do with what Miku" legalese gets kind of muddy since the indie artists themselves have been subject to more than one license agreement when they chose to use Yamaha's synthesizer software and Crypton-owned virtual singers' likeness to make their music, effectively adopting a publisher-developer relationship on the relative benefits of each with the publisher having a bigger say. To say that the growing love-hate triangle between the original synth developers, the core character designers, and the music producers of the 2010s would be detrimental to the current Loid scene as a whole is becoming more mute with each passing day with new 3rd party software constantly coming out of beta and a slew of original characters being vocalized at vtuber speeds.

Hello thread. Thanks everyone for posting the occasional song. In these dark times, I still look into music to cheer me up and activate some dopamine -- and I imagine most do the same. Today (3.9) is a day to share some lesser known songs, so I picked some I rather like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQosliamOfo First, "I seek you" by Yunosuke. It's a really nice electronic piece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVq-_qCRyfU Second, "Ame furu wa koniwa" by Treow. Sort of a pop ballad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmBIIvZNUlE Third, "This hosed-Up Wonderful World Exists For Me" by n.k, which I absolutely love the imagery and instrumental, and I even dig the (translated) lyrics. Finally, a collaboration between Utsu-P and pinocchioP, which not only combines well the sort of sound both producers are known for, but it's also got a hilarious video: Watch it, it will make your day. This is called "Gorgeous Big Conversation"

The Vocaloid gang jacks a Delorean and yeets back to the time of Yamaha MSX sound cards and Roland 808 sequencers. Seems like all HanasoumenP, who's had some of their work already mentioned, ever wanted to do is spin some cats-n-boots at warehouse raves, but after being reminded they're also a professional graphic designer they decided to draw a Miku to do the accompaniment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm55afOEJTQ Aura Qualic took a liking to elements of retrowave MIDIway through their career and even posted some live seshes on their channel going from analog to digital. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lS1bwA2ihO8 ODDEEO is one of the few non-Japanese Vocaloid producers who knows what they're doing within homegrown style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKZoByRHMLY It's quite a treat to hear YZYX combine such uncommon Spanish, Japanese, and English vocaloid banks with all the flamboyancy of an 80s ski suit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsj-IZaheUU

Millenial PSO soundcloud rappers aside, though Oseanworld does have strong Xavier Renegade Angel surrealist vibes and needs a full-length Adult Swim feature pronto, this Heardle app seems to be pulling its tracks mostly from Nico's Hall of Legend ~720 tracks at 1 to 10mil views, which I'd argue is the definition of Miku staples. Hall of Myth (10mil+ views) can be disregarded since only like 10 entries to this day have reached the meme status required to qualify. Fork the app further to remove the daily limit and have it also source Hall of Fame at its 3600 100k-1mil viewed tracks and it WILL be really great for discovery while potentially avoiding low quality uploaded trash.

Vocacolle is wrapping up for the Spring 2022 season. If you aren't familiar, it's an event where many Vocaloid producers (and cevio/utau/etc) all post music at the same time. This is a good opportunity to find new music by new people. The results are ranked by NND popularity and posted in playlists. Categories include Pro, Rookie, and Remix. There's also categories for covers and MMD videos. Check the rankings out here: Pro Rookie Remix It looks like a couple of my recent favorite producers, r-906 and Yukuewat, will take podium spots in the Pro category, which I'm chuffed to see. There's lots of great material from artists who I've never heard of. The rookies brought their best, too. If you enjoy digging deep into vocaloid, I encourage you to take a look.

The Pro playlist is definitely worth a listen through for the current state of the Vocaloid scene. Now for something many are probably more familiar with but you still won't hear on the drive home. Miku's Heart Shaped Box manages to stay within the format of Cobain's classic delivery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_syHyVomVM Luka's attempt at Adele's hit Rolling in the Deep to captures some of the 8x platinum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAI8zqgORh4 Gumi and the lads shredding nearly through all the notes of Iron Maiden's Trooper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A86Y_PYUbqE Queen's Don't Stop Me Now done by one positi-vibely gyrating nendo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIL3U9kh7Ko

After going through the Pro playlist, my (non-mathematical) impression is that 33% is Miku, 33% is a new Virtual Singer called KAFU (可不), and 33% is everyone else. I had never heard of KAFU before, seems rather new. And this Musical Isotope Series where KAFU comes from seems to be producing other voice banks that are getting popular on their own, too. As an example, Utsu-P just released a banger of a song with SEKAI (星界) from that line: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUYGyQrPkIo Finally, AND IN VERY IMPORTANT NEWS, a  Project Diva game is finally on PC , released just today! It's the most recent one, Megamix, only released previously on the Nintendo Switch.

Very cool on the official PC port, hopefully it gets modded to thousands of songs. And this Vocaloid Spotlight also has something that is more than a decade old - Prima and Tonio the phantoms of the opera. This duo dates all the way back to Vocaloid 2, and while they have not been granted any official 'cartoonification' or much on the popularity on the predominant pop/rock/electro spectrum, they're still the closest to anime Callas and Pavarotti that we got. There's been a number of attempts at Vocaloids trying to sound like Callas in Ave Maria, but Prima's version remains the most glorious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oPfF994NN8 Similar situation regarding Pavarotti with Tonio being able to put on a magnificent performance of Una Furtiva Lagrima, as heard on one of the original demos of this voice bank. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wyiMm7N4Ss Heard there were some rumors that the band Nightwish was looking to scout Prima for their next frontwoman to try and get back to their symphonic metal roots... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIyDL1S28wI As none of the popular female Vocaloids could ever to match Cranberies late Dolores O'Riordan's powerful voice, this Vopera singer comes faithfully close to the Bad Wolves cover. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXN0P_DahwY

Got this recommendation today on a playlist, quite neat, good bridge, neat mix of rap influences: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy0X0pVrgSY It's by Umetora (梅とら), which I wasn't familiar with. On gaming news, it's been surprising to me how much I got into Colorful Stage AKA Project Sekai, which is not just Project Diva for mobile but its own thing. At first I was like, "who cares about any of those characters, I'm here just for the music", but months later I keep playing nearly every day to also check the story beats. I really love those characters as it turns out! And there's also quite a few good songs here that are originally written for this game. I believe it's getting rather big in Japan to the point some hobby stores now have a section to sell its specific merchandise, including the compilation albums. I assume anyone reading this probably tried the game already, but if you haven't give it a go, you'll probably like it. And you don't need to pay for anything whatsoever, which is a drat fine F2P model. Anyway, I love those two songs below so I'll leave them as highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-tESKU7zaU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKa3Bo3uqos
