    Adapting Translations of the Lyrics to "+REVERSE" by niki

    Recently, for whatever reason, I've been listening to the song "+REVERSE" by niki. I looked at the lyrics on the wikis and didn't find any to be satisfactory. I'm not fluent in Japanese but I do understand a lot of words and phrases. I also have several translation aids/resources. Here I've...

    SHINKALION 2020 Miku Hatsune Figure Defect?

    I usually solve problems like this by taking a Dremel (rotary tool) and drilling a 1 mm hole in the plug and in the socket of the piece. Then I cut a length of a large paper clip (or other stiff wire) and stick it in the plug hole. Dry-fit the pieces together to make sure the length of wire...

    VOCALOID What are your thoughts on Vocaloid covers of english songs?

    I've listened to far too much Pet Shop Boys music. If I personally were doing a cover, I would have to go in and manually give Miku a British accent for it to sound right to me. :tongue: (Like "awp paah choo nit heez" instead of "awp perr toon hit teez")

    Other Miku is getting her own animated series with direct input from CFM

    This appears to me like it is going to be a video version of the MIKU-Pack magazine. It had announcements, event reports, music samples, stories, manga, artwork, 4-koma comics, and various things like that. A variety showcase essentially. From the description I could imagine a 15-20 minute...

    Vocaloid Merchandise News

    Well crap. Do I go ahead and buy the re-release "Love is War" figure or do I wait for the "refined version?" I've been seeing the re-release deluxe version for below $200 lately. I'm guessing that the new one will be $300. (EDIT) This made me go back and check around. Prices are all high on...

    HATSUNE MIKU EXPO 2021 Online

    I've seen lots of Kickstarter wrap-up videos that end with the people saying that they still have 100+ items still waiting for backers to send them their mailing address so they can ship them out. People seem to throw money at stuff and then forget all about it.

    HATSUNE MIKU EXPO 2021 Online

    I was just thinking: it could be that Covid affected manufacturing availability. So the manufacturers are in a position to negotiate a price more favorable to them. I'm sure that those still operating have plenty of customers lined up needing orders fulfilled. And what they're willing to pay...

    HATSUNE MIKU EXPO 2021 Online

    Everything is being made-to-order, so it is all being done in small batches. It appears that each item is being shipped directly from whichever business manufactured it, rather than all of it getting shipped to the company in Japan and then sent out from there to all the customers. I assume...

    VOCALOID drop the most obscure vocaloid song you know

    Feels like one of those dozens of songs from back then that I heard once and then never came across again. I listened to a lot of songs, but didn't bookmark stuff back then. Looked it up and it's by Deadball-P. Apparently they did the tuning on "Dear Cocoa Girls."

    Vocaloid and Miku Trends in Japan

    I posted a trend popularity graph of the USA and correlated it with various events. I figured I'd do one specific to Japan. On Hatsune Miku's release there is a tremendous spike in activity. I used a graph time period that omitted it only to make spikes and changes more visible. I did paste...
