    A review of po-uta from a VOCALOID newcomer! He came away from it with positive feelings and had fun using it.

    I finally got a chance to listen through Miku Symphony 2022! I know a lot of people haven't listened to any of the many Miku Symphony performances, so from the bottom of my heart, *please* do if you get the chance. It is absolutely incredible to hear songs so close to your heart re-rendered by the freakin' Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra! If you haven't listened to a live orchestral performance before, the quality of these recordings is so good that it will give you a similar feeling for sure. Give it a chance! Please!

    My favorite arrangement is 1/6 Out of the Gravity from 2019.


    I also love Melty Land Nightmare, Ray, Odds and Ends, Black Rock Shooter, Senbonzakura, Tondemo Wonders, and Bitter Chocolate Decoration.

    Classical music (this isn't classical music of course, but you know what I mean) was something I started to have a strained relationship with because it became something I had to do instead of something I wanted to do. But now I can play my violin and not worry about the responsibility. Lol. The one time I saw the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, I felt like I experienced, like, music in solid gold form. It's so good and everyone is a master.
    VRUSH UP, the series of remix albums published by UMAA in 2014, is relaunched for streaming and download. The siinamota album will have a new remix by sasanomaly/nekobolo of the Song 'Girl A'. Everything's coming out on 3/9. I am really excited, I haven't gotten to listen to all of the VRUSH UP albums, and sasanomaly is still one of my favorite artists. I was really glad when he produced for siinamota's final album. I really can't wait

    so I'm 99% sure I just found a bill wurtz reference in like a dragon: ishin! kiwami and I can't stop laughing


    Today I got to play one of my favorite games ever, Taiko no Tatsujin, for the second time.

    The first time I played Taiko was early in high school when my friends and I decided to go to the major comics convention in our city on a whim. It was a mix of mostly kitchy manga stuff, and american comics stuff. Honestly, it was pretty bad. For me, I mean. I dressed like the high school girl version of the otaku stereotype, with the buttoned up plaid shirt, and old glasses, and jeans... and a backpack with can pins on it... my hair was probably frizzy too, so there was that. Lol. Those were the days.

    Anyway, I I was already addicted to the 3DS version I hacked onto my system after watching some crazy gameplay videos on YouTube, and I figured the arcade version would be about the same. We ended up standing line for, like, 30 minutes, several times. It was SO MUCH FUN, and I was instantly addicted. The 3DS version paled in comparison. We drove home, and it suddenly made me so sad realizing that I probably wouldn't be able to play my new favorite game again for years. Which was true!

    But then the impossible happened!! Bandai picked a location outside the city for a location test, testing the waters for a full American release in arcades!! During the precise week I'm off of school! I made the trek and played it today!!

    If Taiko no Tatsujin gets picked up for real and you're in America, you guys need to try it. It is so much fun and easy for beginners to pick up, too.

    I'm so happy right now :'D
    Writing something (remix) for Chis-A English. Just the first pass. It's fun!!
    The last time I did this was freshman year of high school.

    I want to submit this for spring vocacolle if I can, but there's probably not enough time with the arrangement, so maybe I can post it in fall.
    Lyrics-wise, I want to make sure there's enough variation in the expression in English... it's easy to fall into patterns of using the same/similar words (or words that are overly simple) to fall into the right syllable patterns as Japanese IME.
    There's a lot of things I want to include or change, but, I think this is a unique way of expressing your love for another song in a different language. It is really hard to do right and I don't expect my result to be the best either.
    Sadly, there's probably no better example of NT struggling than in the latest music clip released for proseka. They brought Hello, Worker into the game, but the quality of Luka's voice really sticks out.
    At least the 3DMV is fantastic.

    @Blue Of Mind Me too. I was excited for a new engine tailor-made for expressive concatenative synthesis. But it just hasn't worked out.

    To me NT sounds like it was made with Miku in mind. And only Miku. Len does sound pretty good to me too, not necessarily like Len but good. But especially the other female voices all suffer. They all have lost the uniqueness in their voices and definitely sound more.. Miku-ish.

    Admittedly I'm ok with most NT voices....but Luka 😭 I'm just salty cuz I'm desperate for modernization of her V2 voice, I wish they just polished and smoothed out the V2 vb and added EVEC on top and she would've been GOLDEN ( as an UTAU junkie I enjoy the system despite it's clunkyness outside of Piapro and it was part of V4 Luka I liked a lot ).

    She's possibly my fav cryptonloid but I can't, in good faith, recommend her to anyone cuz she's not a friendly vb to use in any of her iterations.

    congratulations pico!!!!! :lapis_ani_lili: :lapis_ani_lili:
    i've always had a love for space (yes, one of my dreams as kid was being an astronaut, another dream was being like Indiana Jones, I liked those 2 dreams because they somehow connected together) and i'm sure you'll enjoy soooo much your new experience!!! :kokone_lili:

    Thank you so much @MagicalMiku !!! I wanted to be an astronaut too, but this makes me just as excited, honestly. Hopefully we can both have the indiana jones experience of our dreams someday X)
