My family don't care about my interests in general (let alone Vocaloid and J-culture) so long as I still do well in both the education and looking-for-work sides of my life. They're not above making fun of it sometimes though. :rolleyes: In general, J-culture is still obscure in the UK because...

I miss the original MapleStory where the entire game was essentially a 2D side-scrolling RPG. Knowing there's a 3D sequel makes me feel ancient because I used to play the original ten years ago. O_O

I just sit indoors and ignore all the trick-or-treaters outside. (Halloween now carries a negative connotation in the UK as being the night where yobs run riot depending on where you live).

My workspace is just my bedroom desk. It's home to my laptop, my TV, my WiiU and my Switch. Yes, it gets really messy sometimes. ^^;

I graduated from university last month with First Class Honours (that's the highest 'grade' you can get for a degree in the UK), and I'm about to start a Master's degree next Saturday. (They only offered a part-time schedule for the Master's, which is why I have Saturday classes now).

My cousin used to pronounce Kaito as 'Kayto' back when we were still in school, and it always irritated the crap outta me. X)

CV04 being vaporware disappoints me because at this point, I feel that Crypton are coasting on their past successes without moving forward in terms of Vocaloid contributions. They keep rereleasing Miku for every new engine because she's always guaranteed to sell, but at this point I'd rather see...

It's not as cutesy as something like 'Ageage Again' though.

Mitchie M's older songs like 'Freely Tomorrow' were not as cutesy compared to the songs he does now. I mean, they were clearly J-pop, but not the "kawaii" kind of J-pop that the genre as a whole is stereotyped as sounding like, which Mitchie M leans towards more now. I still like his songs, but...

I've always heard about MJ and his family having issues with Sony both while he was still alive and after he died. This case is already serious as it is (since this is pretty much posthumous identity theft), but it wouldn't surprise me if more leaks out about Sony and MJ's estate in the future.

I still don't understand why IA English was released to CeVIO rather than VOCALOID, though I do think the muffled pronunciation can be fixed. The engine noise in CeVIO doesn't help IA English at all though, and I think it causes most of the muffle-ness(?) in the first place.

I'm currently watching Initial D. Came for the Eurobeat music and memes, staying for the surprisingly engaging story for a street racing anime.

2017's my favourite! The art style leans more towards shoujo than the other designs, and the butterfly theme makes the design unique.

Me and my boyfriend love the Taiko games, so we're definitely getting the Switch version. I hope it's not as dumbed down as the PS2 localisation though (I swear I'm not a weeaboo complaning about the lack of Japanese music, but the OST was pretty dire for that game).

Have any reasons been given for the delays?

Yeah, I'm fed up of the grimdark Madoka ripoffs too. I miss the idealistic, clearly-shoujo anime and manga. :(

Ken's probably my favourite out of all the new Yamaha V5s, though I like Amy as well. I'm currently neutral on Chris (I need to hear more usages of him), but I definitely agree with everyone else that Kaori sounds a lot like Len. She might grow on me after some good usages though. That Lorra...

I adore her Cool voicebank! It's deep and mature, but it's distinct from Luka and it's not extremely boyish like Flower. It's the kind of voice that's been lacking in Japanese female Vocaloids up until now. Did anyone notice the vocal fry at the start of this demo? Can V5 support it now?

I'm wondering if the official V5 announcement will list support for new languages? (I'm still praying for a future German Vocaloid).
