If there's any consolation, and it's easy to tell in this thread, lolicon (and shotacon by extension, because HOO BOY I can easily discuss the creepy shit surrounding VBs like Len, Piko and Fukase) has been increasingly marginalised within the wider Western anime fandom over the last decade...

Yeah, I'm not gonna follow this project for the very obvious, problematic reasons that have been raised. I swear CeVIO is becoming a cursed engine at this point.

This is why I don't own a single Vocaloid despite being a fan for so many years - aside from not being musically inclined in the slightest, I'd also feel guilty about turning an expensive piece of software into a dust-covered paperweight. If I'm paying a lot of money for something, I have to get...

Nope, I'll always consider IA to be ONE's ditzy yet sweet older sister in my headcanon.

To be fair, I long questioned the existences of both Vivid and Light when they were still available, considering that they both sounded the same to me (with Light having slightly stronger consonants, and even then, it still sounded like a subpar version of Solid). I can see why they were...

People need to stop asking surprised that a lot of producers continue to use Miku in their originals. She's long been the most visible Vocaloid (she's moved engines now, but she's still heavily associated with Vocaloid); she's the VB people have experimented the most with (as in, people using...

I like Yukari's shirt - it takes me back to the early 2010s, when all the hipsters would wear quirky button-ups like that.

I finally got round to playing Project Diva MegaMix a couple weeks ago. I don't keep up with Project Diva as much as you'd think because they're usually released on Sony consoles, but is it just me or have the later Diva games gotten way harder than the older ones? I mean, yeah, Sega has to...

I don't even collect Nendos (too expensive a hobby for me), but I still desperately want the prototype Miku. I've always loved that design.

Now the inverse of Hippi's situation has happened to me - I thought Seven would have a cutesier, moe-like voice based on her design, but instead it sounds more powerful and mature than I expected. Neutrino has also benefitted from engine updates, because Seven sounds beautifully realistic so...

I'll reiterate from the Hippi thread that while her voice was a surprise, I don't hate it either, but it's nowhere near as "kawaii desu" as some people are saying it is. It's young-sounding without being overly cutesy. Basically, she has more similarities to Gumi than say, Miku.

I honestly don't think Luka is suited to hard rock and metal songs. Certainly no offense to producers who use her for those kinds of songs (and indeed, there are some Luka rock and metal songs I really love anyway), but I feel Luka gets drowned out by the instrumentals because her voice is so...

This is the first time I've created a poll, so if anything's wrong or isn't working properly, please let me know so I can fix it. ^^; I got kinda curious about how often we listen to vocal synth music on here, since while I listen to it almost every day, I also listen to non-vocal synth stuff...

Bit surprised by the name change, but I like the more ethereal, goddess-like ring to it.

I didn't expect a cuter tone, but I don't hate it either. Her English sounds precious, however! I'm curious to see how CeVIO processes it.

If character vocals never existed, I'd have probably still come across vocal synth technology at some point (being the music and tech nerd that I am), but I probably wouldn't have become so invested in the vocal synth fandom like I have done. Miku completely changed the game because she was the...

The amount of crowdfunding campaigns coming out around the same time as each other reminds me of the V3 era, when it felt like a new Vocaloid VB was dropping every month with poor promotion. Truth be told, I thought Solaris was extremely lucky to meet her crowdfunding goals, and it's...

That video takes me waaay back! (Come to think of it, I'm forever annoyed that that particular remix never got a full version). Staying on topic, my first vocal synth song was 'melody...' (which I believe shares the same producer as the Ballade remix).
