    Unconventional opinions

    Apologies for reviving an old thread with a reply to my own post, but I've been doing some more thinking on this subject since I originally wrote it up. I wouldn't say my views have done a complete 180, but I have developed more of a nuance regarding it. I think the biggest mistake I made...

    The only thing I don't like about Tsudumi's design is her name being on the sleeves of her... jacket? Or are they detached sleeves separate from the rest of the outfit? It's a trend I've hated for ages in current fashion, so it's just a personal preference. (New headcanon: Tsudumi is so...

    I don't think "vindicated" is the right word to describe this opinion at all (since it sounds super-fangirlish on my end), but after seeing the recent technical issues with SynthV, the odd business decisions related to CeVIO and the struggles of other engines such as Piapro NT, Maghni and...

    I totally agree with this section of your post - unless we start educating Japanese fans and companies as to why NFTs are a bad idea, more NFT projects will just spring up in the vocal synth fandom. The Western and Japanese fandoms have long been "walled" and kinda closed off from each other...

    Controversial opinion on vocal synths and NFTs: As much as I agree with almost everyone else in the fandom that associating with NFTs is shitty, it doesn't actually put me off from listening to a VB. Am I miffed about IA and Lapis being associated with NFTs? Yes, very much so. Will I stop...

    VOCALOID Why do you think so many producers (sometimes exclusively) use Hatsune Miku?

    I agree with the second theory that Miku being the most popular means her fans are more likely to listen to tracks from new producers. Why take a massive risk with a more obscure VB when you could use Miku and get some attention from her fandom? I also think part of the reason so many producers...

    VOCALOID Status of INVAXION and ZING

    I honestly forgot that Zing was even supposed to be a thing.

    (Is it okay if I double post? This thread hasn't updated for a month). I honestly don't mind having stuff like story modes and canon personalities in vocal synth games. For example, as much as I'm okay with how Project Diva presents the Cryptonloids as blank slates in terms of characterisation...

    VTubers So Hololive & Crypton Future Media are working together on projects now

    I'd be down for Miku as a vtuber if that's ever in the pipeline.

    VOCALOID Vsinger voicebank updates

    Super random, but has anyone else noticed that redesigned Tianyi's dress kinda resembles a lotus? Other than that, I'm also a bit baffled by Yan He's redesign because it doesn't look like that much has changed between the original and new designs. Ling is an improvement, however.

    I must admit, I was originally disappointed with V3 IA because she didn't sound much like Lia (who's voice I'm a big fan of), but overtime I came to appreciate how Vocaloid made IA sound distinct from Lia. CeVIO IA threw me for a loop because it's tonally close to Lia, and I've been hearing...

    I don't mind the design, but I can see why other people are upset. It's the least 'Flower'-looking design we've seen so far (as in, it's very divorced from both V3 and V4 Flower's designs). For comparison, at least Miku NT's design takes cues from previous versions - Ci Flower doesn't seem to do...

    There are some songs that are easy to remember in romanji (I.e. Senbonzakura, which admittedly doesn't translate too well into English), and others which are a nightmare to recall (I.e. Arifureta Sekai Seifuku, which I just refer to as Common World Domination). I do alternate between English and...
