Crappy Google translation: "Thank you for your many applications for the recruitment of audio production jobs that we announced the other day. We apologize for the delay in replying due to the year-end and New Year holidays, but thank you for your cooperation." Has Crypton been looking for new...

I've noticed that even in the Spanish vocal synth fandom, they don't really use Bruno, Clara and Maika (I've heard some Latin Americans don't like the European accents the Voctroloids have?) and they tend to stick to Spanish UTAUs. We also all know what happened to SeeU for the Korean fandom...

Speaking as someone who heard a brief demo of Teto on V4 (courtesy of Crypton), I wouldn't support Teto on another engine if her voice would lose what makes her sound recognisably like Teto (much like how Miku is so iconic she sounds like Miku, if that makes any sense lol). If Crypton could pull...

Valid concerns about the project aside, is anyone else worried that VocaTone might be trying to break into a market that's starting to get a bit overcrowded? This is the first period of time I can ever recall Vocaloid actually having some proper competition in terms of quality. SynthV is already...

I agree that the amount of languages listed feels too ambitious for a new synth, but my lizard brain is still getting excited over the idea of German and Russian support (I've given up on Vocaloid adding more languages at this point).

I thought Internet Co. stopped caring about Vocaloid? I think they pretty much said a while ago that they had no interest in V5.

I'm so disappointed they didn't show off Yuzuru as much, because his talk voice sounds gorgeous. I hope he gets a song VB on A.I.Voice.

Yukari looks like she's dressed up for a special ball for the local people of the moon. :tongue:

I wonder if the pandemic has encouraged some people to create more Vocaloid content with the sudden free time they might have gained?

Those designs give me strong late 2000s/early 2010s merch vibes, and I actually like it because of nostalgia. ^^; I used to see Vocaloid merch like that all the time when I first started going to cons around nine years ago.

I really don't understand how they're promoting Kafu right now. So far, they're still trying to gun for Kaf's established fandom, but aside from the wilfully blind, the fact that it doesn't really sound like the real Kaf at all is probably putting off some people. Meanwhile, non-fans and/or...

I agree that Kafu sounds a bit better in some sections of the latest demo, but on the whole, it still sounds like the real Kaf putting on a cutesy voice with a cotton ball in her mouth. :/ Or maybe this genre is really unsuited for Kafu's voice. If a cutesy demo was released, it might sound...

Definitely Hello Planet by Sasakure.UK for me, especially the bittersweet ending (though in this case, it's more like happy tears). I'm not sure if Last Night Good Night by kz counts because the lyrics are sad, but it still hits me right in my heart whenever I hear it.

To be fair, I did notice Miku NT's choppiness had been fixed up when Crypton rereleased her old demos with her latest voice.

I liked Ausgris's concept, and I'm still sad that he never became anything more than that. :(

I doubt another synth developed in Japan will overthrow Vocaloid (not even Piapro despite Miku being the new flagship for it), unless a company made an effort to directly appeal to English-speaking producers. The biggest stumbling block for all current synths right now is that they're mostly...

I agree that Yamaha might keep V5 going for a while longer compared to previous versions of Vocaloid. I can't see how V6 would push the program further, aside from additional language support, and even then, that's something that could be done within a V5 update. I think Yamaha has been moving...

I didn't know IA Talk was voiced by a different VP! No wonder I hated it automatically when I first heard it - it didn't sound like Vocaloid IA at all. (The more I hear about what 1st Place have been doing to IA over the years, the more sad I become, because she's one of my favourite Vocaloids.)

I'm still mad about IA English not being a Vocaloid, because I knew her voice wouldn't be as high quality in CeVIO compared to Vocaloid. (Plus, from a producer perspective, you can't really do bilingual Japanese and English IA songs because you can hear the differences between the two engines...

I think it depends on the song - some tracks call for less realistic vocals than others. Probably not that unpopular, but I'll still say it anyway: Every time I hear IA English, even with the best tuning, I still think about how much better the voice would have sounded in Vocaloid or even...
