Being An Anime Fan in the Early 2000s and The Lead-up to Vocaloid
I was still really little back when everyone was struggling to access anime in the late 90s and early 2000s, but I did see all the entry-tier stuff like Pokemon, Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, etc. since I was lucky enough to have Sky satellite. I did notice a change by the late 2000s though - at...- Blue Of Mind

The centralisation of the internet to something like three or four big social media platforms, along with algorithms that favour short content, has killed off a lot of aspects of old school internet that Vocaloid initially caught the tail end of, yet still thrived on. I should probably explain...- Blue Of Mind

V5 goes back to Yamaha's original intention with Vocaloid way back in V1, in that it's aimed at more professional producers rather than hobbyists like V2 to V4 were. Considering how the Western fandom originally sprung up from masses of fan content, that decision has alienated them from Yamaha...- Blue Of Mind

Other Software SymphOneme Discussion thread
I was originally wondering if the wrong song was used for their beta demos because of how strained they all sound on the high notes, but sheesh. It's definitely a... sound. Lol. It almost reminds me of a worse, pitchy version of CeVIO.- Blue Of Mind

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...- Blue Of Mind

CeVIO CeVIO Discussion Thread
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...- Blue Of Mind

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...- Blue Of Mind

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...- Blue Of Mind

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...- Blue Of Mind

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...- Blue Of Mind
