  • The song Patchwork Staccato that was recently uploaded by PJSK almost had me in tears. You know, I'm so invested in this song because it's actually one of my favorites. Miku, Meiko, and Rin look breathtakingly beautiful in the video, but the moment they start to sing, I can barely hold myself back due to their voice condition.

    There seems to be a recurring issue where the virtual singers do not blend well with the voice actors whenever they sing together. There are two possible reasons for this: First, the NT voicebank is certainly underdeveloped (I keep on wondering why would they avoid Vocaloid voicebanks altogether?). Second, unprofessional tuning (or simply not tuned at all) makes the virtual singers sound flat and rather unpolished.

    As a huge fan of these virtual singers, I eagerly watch every new PJSK video, hoping to see the virtual singers shine. Although I'm left disappointed time and again, I still hope that one day things will get improved.
    Over the past few years, I have noticed that some companies that produce vocal synthesizers are ambitious and innovative, producing new features that exceed public expectations. Other companies may not produce new and exciting features, but they are committed to updating their current voice banks to keep up with the latest vocal synthesizer technologies. These companies should be supported by all of us.

    However, there are certain companies that are currently in their "comfort zone" instead of pushing towards the advancement of vocal synthesizer technologies. Instead of being the actual pioneers with proven results, they cling to nostalgia and release half-baked products. They are delaying important updates that are needed to the current voice bank and giving empty promises to their customers. Meanwhile, they keep squeezing every last drop of "value" from their own characters. It's no wonder that more and more people are becoming dissatisfied with their attitude. Despite the complaints, these companies remain blind to their shortcomings and continue to live in their own fantasy world. Unfortunately, there are still fans who are blind to these issues and continue to blindly support these companies while criticizing those with legitimate concerns.
