  • Does anyone own KAFU that would be willing to render something for me? It would be short and will be mixed into the background, so nothing crazy.

    My first time playing in a band! Just a little snippet from our first and last practice before we perform this weekend... yeah. Quick turnaround. (Click into twitter for the full res audio). Not only did I misspell drum in the thumbnail I forgot to label our keyboardist.
    Titana's album Assault has a youman remix on it that is one of the coolest arrangements I have ever heard in my life. It elevates the desperate lyrics into something really incredible. I love youman. I hope he combines all of his songs into an album someday, once the alphabet is complete.
    So I work a job at my school that places sophomores in freshman residence halls to run weekend events and basically force community into the building, lol. It’s hard work but a lot of fun. But TODAY, we are at a restaurant that somewhat recently turned into a chain and has brought the food of my city to this state. And my freshmen are going to try my cultural food for the first time. So excited.

    I think it’s pretty uncommon for a municipal area in the US to have a very specific food and for it to stay localized for so long but I’m so excited. They don’t make it correctly anywhere else

    Buffalo wings were actually like that, in living memory for a lot of people. They didn't pop up until the 60s, and it took until the 80s for them to spread around the US. Now they're everywhere, of course. (I have relatives who still talk about people from outside "doing it wrong" lol. Blue cheese dip is for the celery side, not for the wings. And ranch is straight out.)

    Poutine still seems to be fairly regional too.

    Looking for local things like that is one of my favorite parts of traveling.

    The feel when I remember that viral video about that famous Japanese mukbang YTber who tried to make their own aligot but since they couldn't access to fresh tomme cheese they used some kind of mozzarella instead

    I hope the twitter poll actually does result in a SynthV for him. It'd be fun.

    Kurita Maron and Hatsune Miku!

    Mr. Kurita's cosplay is high quality lol... it's amazing
    I talked to Mr. Kurita on Twitter today. He reposted one of my videos.

    He said, "I hope I don't become known in America as the guy that originated this!" and I responded "please don't worry! mr. kurita isn't famous on the american internet yet! probably!"

    He responded with a quote tweet.

    Mr. Kurita invented the emoji.

    He is VERY famous.
    I got SV Studio Pro through DLsite because I needed a discount and Dreamtonics' most recent discount opportunity expired. My impression is that the website works very well, the serial system is good, and the company has a clear system for refreshing the serials. But I probably won't do it again because the only way for me to get money into the website was via the point system, because traditional payments are limited for overseas customers. If you lived in Japan, it'd probably be a no brainer for people buying the engine.

    Still, I saved a bit over 30 USD, so it's something.

    Just wanted to share the experience if anyone else is thinking of bargain hunting like I was.

    Don't worry, I already opted out of all of the newsletters and set up a mail bucket for them 😅 I was under the impression that DLsite was pretty cautious about promoting the NSFW stuff on the English side, but hey, when there's a market...!

    @AmazingStrange39
    They somewhat frequently cycle through deals and special offers other platforms don't have. For instance, they're offering 10% off for buying SV Studio pro + any vocal (including Teto SV) right now. Less cheap for buying the vocal than AHS's preorder price, but if you were trying to get into it and wanted an existing vocal, that kind of thing might help.

    But yes, tread carefully because it is also the #1 location online for 18+ otaku-adjacent content. It will give you plenty of warning when you're about to click into it though.

    edit: wew even just on first brush. synthv has come a long way even since I last used it (which admittedly was about a year ago). I am glad the perpetual updates are coming, at no extra cost to the users. not that it's never free of frustration!

    You should be able to enter a card for future use! Inconvenient if you rely on preloaded cards, but if you have a debit or anything like that, it works nicely.

    @peaches2217 Sadly my card isn't from one of the companies accepted.
    Was anyone else completely unaware that inochi bakkari uses Yukari in the chorus? Not sure why but I completely missed this after so many years.



    After so many years of being around, these days I mostly see Yukari in voiceroid along with Akari, but, Yukari has found somewhat of a constant niche in choruses and support vocals. Shiino Mirin uses Yukari for the monologue parts of his songs, and it's cool.

    I knew because she was always written in the title of the official uploads, but I never knew/couldn't hear where she was actually used. I just figured she was used for harmonies at most - though I do have a bit of a pet peeve with producers writing vocals in their titles that don't actually sing main parts, especially if it's unclear where they actually are used orz

    But regardless, it's still a great song overall and I'm glad it's in Sekai now.

    It is in the title of the official upload! Huh. I guess she really just exited my memory. It really is hard to hear.
    Creuzer made Tsuina-chan sound so similar to Ikura's (from YOASOBI) delivery I can't believe it. Seriously that cover is like nothing I've ever heard.
    Have been hearing some incredible before and afters on chinese XLS in both English and Japanese. I wonder if these improvements will also arise in Japanese <-> English XLS.

    Never expected to find a cover of this song!! And this is incredible!

    I deleted my last status to post this video embedded because I liked it so much.

    But I was talking about how I'm going to be able to properly record bass parts this summer. My dad is lending me a good preamp. And they will most certainly be Teto themed.

    Nice to see bass player here, i recommend to record a clean DI too and then record a preamp of your choices for color, you might find DI track come in handy later on.
    pico
    pico
    @IO+ That is great advice! Thank you, I will do that! The recording side is very new to me.
    Once I put something together, I'll share it here 👍 It probably won't be good but I'm looking forward to it!

    I seem to have gotten one of the two secret characters on my first try, but I'm not sure which incarnation of Miku it's supposed to be. Can anyone help?

    My first thought upon seeing the fluffy hair was that it might be NT, but I can't tell. Her hair is distinct from the standard Miku evolutions, and her eyes have a shine in them that the other characters do not. Maybe Sekai miku from the clothes' silhouette?

    EDIT: People on Twitter say it's probably Mikudayo, which makes sense

    I would have said Sakura Miku but since she lacks cherries and that half of the time she used to appear with braids instead of regular pink ponytails...
    pico
    pico
    Yeah. I'm inclined to agree with the Mikudayo perspective now-- the hair does very closely resemble the very clay-y sculpt of that character.
