    Megpoid "Lonely Run" by Capchii feat. GUMI

    Lonely Run by Capchii feat. GUMI After some long hours listening to songs for my playlists, this one actually made me sit up and pay attention. It has such an awesome, unique rock/DnB sound.

    HATSUNE MIKU EXPO 2021 Online

    I wonder if they are a globe, or it they are flat like one of these. As near as I can tell, the kimono is longer than the happi. In Japan rabbits are associated with the moon.

    HATSUNE MIKU EXPO 2021 Online

    I have to question someone who has gotten to a point in their life where they need a dedicated bag to hold their glowsticks.

    Cool. Now I just have to remember something that's going to occur a month from now. ... Remind me, what day of the week is it today? It's still January, right? Or is it?

    Vocaloid IA 9th Anniversary LIMITED EDITION Shampoo & Conditioner Coming January 2021

    The previous one was from a while ago. This one is brand new. With her hair she probably uses half a bottle every day. Vocaloid IA 9th Anniversary LIMITED EDITION Shampoo & Conditioner Coming January 2021

    Vocaloid Merchandise News

    If I were wealthy I would have a room in my house that was a Hatsune Miku "shrine" (so to speak). I'd want an example of each bit of official merchandise. It wouldn't be to "prove" what a fan I am. I just like the idea of having an archive of all this stuff all in one place. It would be cool...

    初音ミク Magical Mirai 2020

    I assume they are, but I've always wanted to know for sure if those Miku statues are 5' 2" (158 cm) like her profile says she is.

    HATSUNE MIKU EXPO 2021 Online

    I think we've hit maximum asymmetry. Beyond this point you just end up with halves of two different outfits stitched together.

    Unpopular Opinions

    I admit I've only heard Oliver in duets. But he sounds pretty good in the Talkaloid skits I've seen him in! (That one made me laugh so hard.) I wonder if you can get Oliver to do a range of accents from around the UK?

    Hatsune Miku × Kodo Special Live 2020

    "Nooooo!" (Covid punches me in the sternum so hard I double-over and cough up blood.) Damn, I really love the Miku x KODO concerts. They have an energy that's entirely unique compared to the other concerts.

    Miku's Popularity in the USA: Google Trends

    Link to Google Trends I commonly see questions about Vocaloid/Hatsune Miku's popularity. And often I see people show a Google trends graph with a "woe unto us!" showing Vocaloid's catastrophic decline. I kept looking at it and thinking "this can't be the whole story." Then I noticed that, by...

    Thoughts Regarding the Crypton Future Media Departure From Yamaha

    Earlier today I was reading about the Synth V software. They have four Chinese voicebanks scheduled for release. It will be interesting to see how things play out. It would also be interesting if Internet Co., Ltd. (Gackpo, GUMI, Otomachi Una) threw their hat into the ring. But I just assume...

    Thoughts Regarding the Crypton Future Media Departure From Yamaha

    A redditor was asking why Yamaha would allow CFM to leave. As far as I can tell, CFM has been a studio doing contract work for Yamaha (not owned by Yamaha). While Yamaha owns Vocaloid, CFM has always had the rights to the characters they created. Rather than sales of the software itself, I...

    Thoughts Regarding the Crypton Future Media Departure From Yamaha

    I’ve come to a theory as to why Crypton Future Media (CFM) split with Yamaha and their Vocaloid software engine to create their own Piapro engine. Looking at the trajectory Yamaha has taken with their in-house voicebank development, we see that they have focused on generic but realistic vocals...
