Vocaloid
« on: July 12, 2011, 04:06:54 pm »
Vocaloid is computer software for generating synthesized singing, in Japanese and English (though Japanese Vocaloid is more common).  It is also an entire brand, their "artists" have personalities and character.  There's Vocaloid main, who has the characters/singers Hatsune Miku (most famous Vocaloid), the twins Len and Rin, and a few more (I like the others best, so they're the ones whose names I remember <_<).  There's also Megpoid, a branch of Vocaloid, which is responsible for the character/singer Megpoid Gumi.  I really like the music here, and it's interesting to listen to.  Vocaloid also does live concerts with fancy special effects and holograms to put the anime characters on stage.

Here's one of my favorites (with a very cool video to go with), by Megpoid Gumi called Bad Apple!! (the exclamation marks don't come from me):


This one, Trick and Treat, is by the twins, and is another favorite of mine (the vocals are kinda bad at the beginning but get better):

The music of the twins is often a lot darker than their personality "IRL" suggests.

And here's Hatsune Miku live performing World is Mine:


If you like them, spend some time on YouTube watching more!

That is um. A little creepy, but cool at the same time. Technology is amazing.

I did notice, and I also think that your change in avatar was inspired by me <.<

That must be a very expensive robot.
"No tools will make a man a skilled workman, or master of defense, nor be of any use to him who has not learned how to handle them, and has never bestowed any attention upon them. . . . Yes, [] the tools which would teach men their own use would be beyond price."—Plato's The Republic, circa 380 BC

I love Bad Apple so much, I made it my screensaver.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

This is one of the many, many things Japan has produced which I find epic and bizarre at the same time.
