MEIKO Fanclub

[peaches2217]

Welcome to the MEIKO Fanclub!

Here, we celebrate the original Japanese Vocaloid! We're a little bare-bones right now, what with its mod being inexperienced, but do expect greater things in the near future!
Rules for joining:
1. Ask to join. All are welcome, of course! It's just so I can keep a head-count.
2. When asking to join, leave a link to your favorite Meiko song or art. I'd love to know your personal favorites!
(And, of course, it doesn't have to be by someone else. Self-promote if you'd like, so long as your content is Meiko-centric!)
3. After you're accepted, I'll put your name here on the OP under Mei-Chan Fans.

I'm going to work on prettying up the OP and making some Official Club Banners for your signatures! Hopefully that will happen some time this weekend. Forgive me. College. It'll be great though!

V3 POWER FREE TRIAL
(Meiko's trial comes with a free trial of Piapro Studio, but you'll need a DAW to run it.
Here's a guide for loading Piapro into a number of popular DAWs!)

NOTICE:
MEIKO V1 requires no external software. MEIKO V3 comes with Studio One and Piapro Studio, which both need to be installed to use her. Alternatively, you could use a Vocaloid editor (3, 4, or 5 will work), but if you don't already own an editor, stick with Piapro. It's free and works like a charm.

And, to get this club kickstarted, here's one of my personal favorites, an old classic:

Here's one of my favorite uses of Meiko. Yuukiss' tuning in Nostalogic and the instrumental are really HQ, imo.
hiding behind text bc the thumbnail is a bit suggestive. (Oops)

 

[peaches2217]

Ha, no worries! We all know Nostalogic's infamous for its heavy focus on Meiko's chest. Welcome aboard!

I wanna join!! Hope y'all like Meiko English haha

I know we're only three members strong, but I want to share this: here's the earliest commercial release of a song to feature Vocaloids. This is a cover of the Japanese classic Ano Subarashii Ai Wo Mou Ichido, featured on Logic System's 2003 album History of Logic. It features prototype versions of the original MEIKO and KAITO softwares.

It's mostly Kaito, but Meiko joins in during the second verse, and it's absolutely gorgeous.

Woah, this is so cool! It's always so interesting to see neat stuff like this

Good afternoon, Mei-Chan Fans! I've added some new banners for you to choose from, including one dedicated to Sakine Meiko! Feel free to let me know if you'd like to see something specific. I'll be happy to whip one up for ya!

 

[Scarlet Illusion]

Loving the new banners! I'mma add one to my signature~!

 

[peaches2217]

Good morning, Mei-chan fans! Have y'all heard this cover of Party Junkie? It's masterfully tuned by HASU KEI and makes excellent use of Meiko's lower ranges. Enjoy!

 

[Scarlet Illusion]

I just wanted to share one of my absolute favorite usages of Meiko!

That cover is my favorite usage of her too! This song really suits her voice well in my opinion

 

[Aia]

Idk if any of you have seen this yet, but I really like this fanart a lot

 

[peaches2217]

That's so cute!!

 

[peaches2217]

A reminder (thank you, @Aia, it totally slipped my mind): Meiko's birthday is on the 5th! Let's celebrate!

 

[cafenurse]

[peaches2217]

Welcome aboard! Feel free to pick up a userbar as well!

 

[cafenurse]

Thank you! I'll put one on my profile :)
I really like the variety to chose from with her V3 and her V1!
I really like her V1 art. Her pose was very fun!

 

[peaches2217]

UPDATE: I've added some more info regarding Meiko's V3 Power trial! It comes with a Piapro Studio trial, so I'm working on a step-by-step guide detailing getting Piapro into a variety of DAWs. I've only got Reaper and FL up right now because it's one in the morning and I have to shower, shave, and get up early for church, but I'll add more tomorrow!

 

[cafenurse]

In honor of Meiko's big day, I compiled some originals with her!

[Aia]

I drew Meiko for her 15th anniversary today!! I'll post a better version on my art thread later

Apparently I wasn't the only one with this idea lol
