As Eurovision is within two weeks or so, just a reminder I personally feel this one is so slept on, even though I do admit there are better and more memorable songs but iunno why it hypnotizes me (and I still miss the random weird ice cream cones dancers from the original video it would have been lolzier)
i still wonder what in the world happened to gackpo's popularity

he went from a member of the Big 8 to basically dropping off the face of the earth with a lot of newer fans not even knowing who he is :gackpo_ani_lili:

I don't have much more to comment here because even most of the points I wanted to make were already done, but I will try to add something. For me, I think the thing about him being a not shota like vocaloid very problematic for his popularity. It's true that a lot of the Kagamines were sold because of Miku, but the Kagamines were (At least someday in the past) pretty big by themselves and it was almost a consensus back then that Len had the best voice between the twins.

Len sells a lot just because he is cute and Japan loves cute things (I'm looking to you... Miku ¬¬). Another problem with this genderfactor is about how non cute male are generally portrayed by Vocaloid Fandom. I feel very weird wth how so many fans portrays the grown up men as pathetic and creepy. I'm tired of seeing songs stuff where Gakupo (And Kaito too) is treated as only a piece of meat or a crazy weirdo who can't hold his sexual impulses.

While the female ones are portrayed in all ways, as strong leads, yandere girls, psychotic girls, cute girls and etc. When you buy Miku you are also buying the fantasy that she is a cute good vibes symbol. It's pretty hard to dislike Miku by the simple motive of how much good traits are attached to her and how Crypton always put effort to portray her as a hardworking, but extremely lovely person. I can see any vocaloid starting a war, except Miku XD And now try to imagine what fantasy you're buying when talking about Gackupo you will see that it's mostly sexual or weirdo vibes.

I'm saying this because I didn't bought CUL only for her design, but also for what she represented. She is a revolutionary in it's essence and I would love to dethrone Miku alongside my favorite red girl! It's more than just the vb, ya know?

I also heard that Gakupo is hard to work with (Tho I preffer to call this a "Mikutard take". Mikutards are people who loves only Miku and/or Cryptonloids and are constantly spreading fake news or hate against non Crypton vocaloids. Thankfully they're kinda rare). But, at least for me, the biggest problem is simply because Miku hijacked Vocaloid, what decentivize non Miku users to use other vbs. You'll be surprised how many people loves Miku and not vocalod in the fandom of vocaloid. I always says that Vocaloids fandom Reddits are not vocaloid fandoms, but Miku fandoms. Don't get me wrong, I love Miku, but a lot of vocaloids lost their spaces or chances to create fandoms only because Miku exists.

I don't even blame Miku fans (Except Mikutards), I simply blame how much stuff the companies does with their own vbs. Crypton really engages with it's fandom, but Internet Co. doesn't seem to be in the same pace.

Obviously, there are a lot of other factors like marketing and how big as a corp Crypton is compared to Internet Co., but I'm talking about realistic things that we can control. I just wants to end this comment saying that I don't really think new stuff is what impulsionates the popularity of a VB. Sure, it will help to have new VBs, but IA never became popular because of her english vb release, she became popular because of Kagerou Project. This also reveals another problem of vocal synths users in general: vocal synth users are too much trend guided.

And for this I'm totally a hater, I hate trendfollowers. No, SynthV is not better than V6 bc it releases new stuff, AI vbs aren't better than normal vbs because they are AI, etc.... Vocal synth is about style because it's art. Some people has and some other don't. Believe me when I say that you can totally use non AI vbs and still rocks and get lots of attention in 2024 (Bro, who cares about LagTrain? Exactly, everyone! And it's not even a Miku or a recent vb released song!), because most people care about what you're selling, not the vb you're working with.

3 days until Shiki Rowen's VOCALOID6 releases. It's almost like counting to doomsday.
So...I'm still trying to process what just almost happened to our (my family's) house
To make a long story short, someone or something set fire to our backyard and it spread (our backyard is basically a long stretch of green land shared between our neighbors)
Nobody was hurt except for our grandma, she cut her toe on a broken tile (she's fine now)

Here's some images (the seventh one is Grandma trying to put out the fire, and the second one is how many fire extinguishers we used):

EDIT:
Emergency services were also called. I had to stay in the house to look after my baby brother, so...

I know thailand can get very hot during summer but this seem like a man made fire since your backyard look fresh and green. เหตุการ์ณแบบนี้รุนแรงมาก ฉันหวังเป็นอย่างยิ่งว่าตำรวจนำตัวผู้กระทำผิดมาดำเนินคดีตามกฏหมาย.

i'm sorry for that.. but at least your grandma is fine and nobody got injured in that big fire..
it could have been somebody or something, but I recommend some things to better prepare:
- buy a smoke sensor (linked to remote alarm) and surveillance camera to look your backyard and record any suspicious actions
- buy some sand bags and put them between your house and the backyard, they can protect a lot against fire
- fire extinguishers can do very little, think that usually one is only rated for about 1 square meter. better use the water source from your house and something with good water pressure. buy also some fire guard blankets, safe gloves and smoke masks, prevention is key

@MagicalMiku Thank you so much for the advice! I'm currently looking into fire guard blankets right now—they seem pretty neat!


EDIT:
Also, I just made a to-do list of the things you recommended!
Using hi-fi headphones for mixing is not bad at all actually, because of how accurate they are when it come to emulate the ideal listening room.

A common believes that hi-if pairs are always colored, which is not entirely true. (unless you're using sony xb stuff) Although you need to get used to it but i don't think it's gonna be difficult because you probably listen to it everyday 24/7. If you already own a pairs then you probably don't need a monitoring headphone.
Does anyone knows if is possible to trick Voiceroid 2? Like

Install Any Voiceroid 2 vb

Install a voiceroid Ex voice, activate them

And then uninstall the other V2 voice and do Voiceroid ex voices work in voiceroid 2?

Im asking as someone that had the system problem before
Happy anniversary to :jun_lili:& :mell_lili: :kanatomell_lili:!

i hope that GumiUnaGaku concert IntCo is crowdfunding rn will have equal representation in the setlist

The crowdfunding page actually says what the setlist will be like! No specific songs have been announced (it says a mixture of classic and modern songs), but the third stretch goal of adding more songs was reached, so it's currently 18 songs with them getting five solos each, and one song with the three of them together.

I guess the extra two right now are Gumi and Una duets since I can't think of any decently popular song with Gakupo dueting with either of them, and I know Akali is pretty popular and makes duet songs with those two.
