I dunno if Crypton would want to move Miku in particular away from the Vocaloid engine, since she's still the most popular Vocaloid out of every VB. Yamaha also wouldn't let Miku go easily either, since she's pretty much the mascot of Vocaloid in general. I'm never any good at predictions...

Good lord, I forgot Mirai was a thing. OTL

My Christmases usually just consist of opening presents in the morning, perhaps an English fry-up for breakfast and messing around with whatever we got until Christmas dinner is done. Christmas Day is usually a low-key thing at my house.

I've always found idol culture in Japan disturbing, since it's based on the wish fulfillment and gratification of the fans, and the idols in question are tied to the upkeep of the fantasies of the fans. It's selfish on the idol fandom's part, and nothing like it exists in the West - try...

I couldn't tell the difference between the new engine and V5. Yamaha better watch their backs! ;)

I'm from an urbanised part of the UK, and I swear I sometimes see a ton of the Tribal GBAs in secondhand shops. Maybe they were more widespread/sold better in Britain?

My boyfriend is a game collector, and he sees secondhand Tribal GBAs all the time whenever he goes shopping. I dunno if they were more widespread in Europe though.

Definitely IA ! She's not supposed to sound so high, yet a lot of producers try to pull off a higher range with her anyway. Just use her intended lower range , it sounds so much better. I once heard a song with a moe-tuned Flower, but I didn't hate the voice - it was definitely odd to hear...

Coincidentally, I read this article just yesterday because Discogs' Facebook page posted a link to it. I think the return to a pre-Beatles "albums are meaningless" musical landscape sucks for music as a whole. Sometimes, albums can contain fan-favourite and hidden gems that aren't always played...

...Now I'm gonna think about the possibility of an anime about Mayu.

I'd say Mayu has a creepy vibe going on as well, since she's supposed to be the 'Yandereloid' and she has a gothic lolita design.

We already have a thread about what anime everyone is watching, so why not a separate thread about non-anime shows? Both live-action shows and cartoons are fine for this thread. I've just finished watching Disenchantment. Damn, that cliffhanger's gonna annoy me until it comes back. X)

LADBible (or one of their spiritual spinoffs, I can't remember) on Facebook posted their own article about this the other day, and unsurprisingly, the comments were more about taking the piss out of the situation rather than mentioning Vocaloid. (Not that Western Vocaloid fans would like to call...

It might be because NND's always catered more to Japanese audiences because it's a Japanese site to begin with (hence less views on NND videos). Didn't they shut down the English version of NND a while ago? I assume it's because the amount of English-speaking traffic wasn't enough to justify...

I've played the DS and PSP versions, and the note speed is a nightmare in harder modes, especially if you're trying to get perfects in songs. (It's pretty similar to Project DIVA in that if you're trying to get a perfect in a chart, you can't miss any notes whatosever. Needless to say, Oni...

I've just noticed I've broken over 100 posts! Could I have a :miku_lili: please? EDIT: Cheers lIlI!

The new Journal section is here if anyone was curious. It's underneath the Introductions heading, so it's part of the 'Site' board.

My personal favourite characters in fiction (not just anime) tend to be the smart ones who may or may not be introverted, since I relate to that archetype the most. Ami/Mercury from Sailor Moon is my best example in anime. Other anime characters I like include: Makoto/Jupiter (Sailor Moon)...

Originally, I was going to make a thread about Sailor Moon in particular, but I thought a general magical girl thread would be better since VV didn't have one yet. Anyhow, some of my favourite magical girl shows are: Sailor Moon Cardcaptor Sakura Puella Magi Madoka Magica Full Moon O Sagashite...

The first Vocaloid song I ever heard was 'Melody.exe' by Miku, quickly followed by 'Anger'. It was all thanks to dumb luck from the YouTube recommedations sidebar, because I recall browsing Super Mario Flash videos reposted from Newgrounds at the time, and Miku popped up in the sidebar for no...
