    Is the VOCALOID Statement True to the Person Below?

    True, I have watched all of the Magical Mirai concerts beginning-to-end. 2017 and 2018 are my favorite. The person below me hasn't actually listened to any voice synth music in that last month, despite regularly checking up on voice synth forums and media.

    Underrated producers?

    LIQ For months I've been doing what I can to draw attention to LIQ. He's been putting out quality metal and rock music consistently since 2008. This past year he's experimented with a rock/rap hybrid style. Something I'm not hearing anywhere else in the Vocaloid community. In some of his...

    Fox to air what's basically an vtuber singing competition

    This is why the old media is dying. They always seem perpetually out-of-touch. They've always survived by manufacturing hype and giving the illusion that they're relevant. Would it really kill them to track down a few people familiar with this kind of subject matter? Maybe grab some people...

    What does your username mean?

    One of my favorite songs is "Sketches of Pain" by the band Tears for Fears. As someone with the surname Payne who does art it seemed like a good fit. (I've been using the name since at least 2003. And I've been using the profile pic of Big Boss from MGS Portable Ops since around 2011.)...

Also, knocking off characters left and right just makes the audience feel uninvested in getting to know any of your characters. It also...

    General Discussion Thread

    It's cool hearing you guys talk about your first exposure to Vocaloid. Whenever I get into a new hobby or fandom I usually end up reading most of the associated wiki. Back in 2013 I read the entire Touhou wiki over the course of a year.

    Unpopular Opinions

    For me 70% of his music is skillfully executed but uninspired. The result of times when you want to create something but lack the spark of a great idea. So you make something that's... fine. I mean it's good but... eh. The guy's made, like, over a hundred songs since 2009. Not all of them...
