The Vocaloid (and stuff alike) Thread!

"SEKAIIIIIII IDE ICHIBAN OHIME-SAMA!!"

Pretty sure a lot of us are familiar with the voice synthesizer program, the Vocaloid! Especially with the twin-tailed beauty that is Hatsune Miku. However, I want to talk with the ones who really love Vocaloid!

Please fangirl/boy all you could about Vocaloids here! I'd e more than happy, glad, and grateful to talk about Vocaloid since it really had an impact on my life!


To get this thread kicking, I'll be also asking questions...

  1. What is/are your first Vocaloid song(s)?
  2. When and how did you found Vocaloid?
  3. Who is/are your favorite Vocaloid(s)
  4. Who is/are your favorite producer(s)? List at least five if you have too much choices!
  5. Did Vocaloid give you an impact on life of any sort?
  6. Does Vocaloid you inspire you?
  7. Do you have a favorite UTAUloid?
  8. Do you have Vocaloid inspired OCs?
  9. Do you have Vocaloid OCs? (UTAUs count!)
  10. Are you currently listening to a Vocaloid song?

...and optional questions!

  1. By any chance, are you also into Vocanese (Chinese Vocaloids)?
  2. How about Engloids (English Vocaloids)?
  3. How about CeVIO?
  4. Utaites?
  5. Youtaites?
  6. Do you think Google Translate is a better Vocaloid than Tomodachi Life?
  7. Do you have experience covering/making songs using Vocaloids? If so, who are your Vocaloids?
  8. Do you like any song series with Vocaloids used? (ex. Kagerou Project, Shuuen no Shiori, etc.)
  9. List your OCs that relates to Vocaloid songs! You can spam the thread and post IC if you're more comfortable that way

I only have a few rules!:

  1. If the song has explicit themes, cover it with decent black or a color of your choice! (such as MASA's Soap Lagoon and Madaco's Kurumi Ponchio for being lewd, Kikuo's Kimi wa Dekinai Ko for child abuse, and Nashimoto-P's Shinitagari for suicide!)
  2. Don't bash anyone for any reason!
  3. Spam the thread as long as you're talking about Vocaloid, I don't mind!
  4. That's all I guess
  5. Have fun!

I'll be answering my own questions next~ u v u;;

wonkypaws

i just got into vocaloid so i don’t know what 90% of the questions mean, but i like miku, teto and rolling girl!!! it and a lot of other vocaloid songs are really nostalgic to me because i heard them when i was a kid

MARSFAUN

What is/are your first Vocaloid song(s)?

first vocaloid song I found was rachie’s cover of circles (original by KIRA) :]


When and how did you found Vocaloid?

back in my gacha phase I saw a gacha meme with rachie’s circles cover in it and I wanted to make my own (and then didn’t). I only listened to covers for a while because I could understand the lyrics but when I got spotify most of my favourite cover artists’ music wasn’t on there so I started searching up original stuff too!! now I listen to an even mix of original vocaloid songs and english covers :]]]


Who is/are your favorite Vocaloid(s)

can’t tell them apart well yet vocally (+most songs are miku especially from my favourite producers) but I like gumi :]]  very green very cool she sang copycat etc.


Who is/are your favorite producer(s)? List at least five if you have too much choices!

GOSHHH AAAAAAAAAA I HAVE TWO FAVOURITES!!! one is wowaka!!! have listened to all of his vocaloid music and literally every single song is AWESOME. most people only know 1-4 of his songs but the rest of them are so unbelievably underrated and worth checking out. here is the playlist with all of them on there!! my favourites right now might be lineart, boku no sainou and unhappy refrain but I adore ALL of them and it frequently changes. 

the other is Harumaki Gohan!!! haven’t listened to all of his music yet but all of his songs that I do know are SO GOOD and he also makes the music videos??? LIKE. AAAAAAAAH AND AND he also makes vocal covers!!! so many different talents go check his songs out. my favourites right now are probably seventina, mirage and secret maybe?? melty land nightmare also? so much good stuff AAAAGDNBCMC


Did Vocaloid give you an impact on life of any sort?

I feel like it did!! it’s one of the only fandoms I’ve ever kind of been in. I mostly listen to vocaloid music / covers and it helps me cope with life in general. I’ve found many vocaloid songs to be relatable, some being very deeply relatable which is something that doesn’t happen to me very often. I listen to a lot of vocaloid music to calm down, cheer me up, process and feel big feelings, make me sad for absolutely no reason, or just to vibe to.


Does Vocaloid you inspire you?

kind of!! I don’t get inspired often at all by media but kagerou project was one of the inspirations for the other side of the field!! kagepro is so good btw go check out some of the songs aAAAH. it inspired the general way in which the story of TOSOTF would be told (albums of songs with a detailed storyline) and subconsciously I may have taken a lot of themes from it too!! kagerou days has such a feeling about it that I just love. other than that, some specific vocaloid songs have helped me shape lots of different aspects of my characters because I related them to the characters a lot :]]


Do you have a favorite UTAUloid?

I don’t really listen to UTAU haha!!


Do you have Vocaloid inspired OCs?

I do have some!! my OC (who isn’t up yet but I will upload them soon, they’re from the reject and the stray) Decora is inspired by the song bitter choco decoration, specifically rachie’s cover lol. you could put most of my main OCs in this category too, as a lot of their stories have been shaped by vocaloid music. for example Charmie would not be the same if not for unhappy refrain LMAO. in fact, technically Charmie does fit here as she was initially inspired by copycat, alongside multiple other things!!


Do you have Vocaloid OCs? (UTAUs count!)

I NEED TO MAKE SOME!!! I only really have one character that’s a (fan made not real nor usable) vocaloid, Sugar, but I don’t actually use her anymore and am thinking of moving her to storage.


Are you currently listening to a Vocaloid song?

aaaa no unfortunately!! not listening to anything rn lmaoooo.


By any chance, are you also into Vocanese (Chinese Vocaloids)?

aaaaaa I don’t know of any!!


How about Engloids (English Vocaloids)?

hell yeah!! I love a lot of english vocaloid songs!!!! favourite has gotta be copycat, so many great covers as well, my favourite version of all time would have to be dima lancaster’s cover AAAAAAAAAAAAH


How about CeVIO?

I do not know what that is AHJCBCN


Utaites? Youtaites?

combining these because I can’t tell the difference between the two other than utaite is for covers in general and youtaite is specifically youtube, but YES!!!! YESYESYES!!!!! goshhh my favourite vocaloid cover artist is Will Stetson!!! literally every single recent cover is SO GOOD and he adds things to songs like extra vocals that make them even better!!! my other favourite is rachie just. SO GOOD AAAAAAAAH.


Do you think Google Translate is a better Vocaloid than Tomodachi Life?

LMFAOOOOOOO😭😭😭😭 tomodachi life FOR THE WIN (assuming this is a joke question but tomodachi life is so fun)


Do you have experience covering/making songs using Vocaloids? If so, who are your Vocaloids?

no I don’t haha. closest thing I have to experience is singing various vocaloid songs in my room home alone LOL


Do you like any song series with Vocaloids used? (ex. Kagerou Project, Shuuen no Shiori, etc.)

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! KAGEROU PROJECT,,!,,,,,,^€{|8>§,:,!,!,,, my favourite character is Marry :D  my favourite song is a tie between additional memory, ayano’s theory of happiness (solely because it makes me sob EVERY! TIME!!), kagerou days.. and many more!!!


List your OCs that relates to Vocaloid songs! You can spam the thread and post IC if you're more comfortable that way

aaaah I might post some separately as I upload them if that is ok!! so far I only have Decora (bitter choco decoration) who is not uploaded and Charmie (copycat) however I also want to make OCs based off seventina, various wowaka songs and more!!


err0r-manda

What is/are your first Vocaloid song(s)?

I think it might've been either Meltdown or Yellow

When and how did you found Vocaloid?

Listening to Legend of Zelda covers and came upon a cover of Miku singing Epona's song. I think it was around 2012 I discovered vocaloid

Who is/are your favorite Vocaloid(s)

Favorites are Luka, Miku, Flower, Rin, Mayu, Piko and Meika Mikoto

Who is/are your favorite producer(s)? List at least five if you have too much choices!

I only have three so far which are utsu-p, KIRA and Shotentaro 

Did Vocaloid give you an impact on life of any sort?

Yup! Definitely got me through some tough times in my middle school years. 

Does Vocaloid you inspire you?

Kind of. Depending on the song I'll be inspired by the story of lyrics and use them for inspiration on pieces I create or characters 

Do you have a favorite UTAUloid?

At the moment no, but Yokune Ruko was my favorite years ago

Do you have Vocaloid OCs? (UTAUs count!)

I used to. I think she was sort of a ying-yang like character inspired by some of the vocaloids having different voicebank like power, whisper, dark, soft etc. Here's her design.

List your OCs that relates to Vocaloid songs! You can spam the thread and post IC if you're more comfortable that way (only listing 2)

Coral_Reef48

Figured I would participate here so here we go;


What is/are your first Vocaloid song(s)?

-Iirc it was either Bitter Choco Decoration of Melancholy of the Literary Boy?

When and how did you found Vocaloid?

-I don't remember all too well, I think I had wanted to try and learn more languages at one point and decided to try Japanese, kinda went down a rabbit hole

Who is/are your favorite Vocaloid(s)

-Don't really have one, but in terms of design I like VFlower and Fukase

Who is/are your favorite producer(s)? List at least five if you have too much choices!

-Syudou, Kikuo, Maretu, Kairiki Bear, stuff like that

Did Vocaloid give you an impact on life of any sort?

-Yeah, I mean somewhat? Some songs have become vent songs and are nostalgic, or even just smth comforting to listen to

Does Vocaloid you inspire you?

-Not really? Well, in a way it makes me wanna try and learn Japanese a bit more but other than that not really

Do you have a favorite UTAUloid?

-Nope, I'm not that deep into the the rabbit hole

Do you have Vocaloid inspired OCs?

-Not exactly? Well, I have an OC named Raven and she was loosely based on Say It (or Itte) by Yorushika even tho it's not really a vocaloid song persay

Do you have Vocaloid OCs? (UTAUs count!)

-Not really

Are you currently listening to a Vocaloid song?

-Lost Umbrella 

nanalili

this thread is pretty inactive, but i thought i might as well give it a shot since i'm desperate to meet more people who like vocal synths haha.. 

What was your first Vocaloid song? 

gosh, this was so long ago that i'm not sure i can remember the first vocaloid song i ever listened to... it was just kind of always there haha! but one of the first that i actually remember listening to was hitorinbo envy!

When and how did you find Vocaloid?

i didn't really have any one specific moment of finding it, i've just always listened to it ever since i was old enough to use the internet haha! i was listening to vocaloid all the way back in elementary school

Who are your favorite Vocaloids?

HIME AND MIKOTO!!! they're so underrated but their voicebanks are so high quality by vocaloid standards and their voices are incredible!! not to mention their adorable designs and cool concept!! hime's voice is like the embodiment of all things cute, they completely blow all the other cutesy vocaloids out of the water, and mikoto's voice is so cool and versatile, they're like flower but better in every way!!! GODDD i wish people used them more!!! some of my other favorites are una, len, rin, and moke!

Who are your favorite producers? List five!

it's kind of hard to limit myself to just five, but i think at the moment my top 5 is... iyowa, namine, harumaki gohan, kisara, and yugica! (i also really like inabakumori but that's like.. 6th place haha)

Did Vocaloid impact your life in any way?

well, it impacted my music taste and my wallet for sure, haha...!

Does Vocaloid you inspire you?

yes!!! a lot!!! it inspires me every single day!!!

Do you have a favorite UTAUloid?

hmmm.. it's probably a tie between matsudappoiyo and mizuki zuiga! darling's voice is also incredible too, but whenever i try to look her up i just get results for songs named darling instead of the actual utau... and, another utau i really like is kiki sagawa, but he's not really as well known 

Do you have Vocaloid inspired OCs?

i've made some before, but those were all years ago haha, i don't have any directly inspired by vocaloid itself at the moment, but i do have one inspired by a vocaloid song!

Do you have Vocaloid OCs? (UTAUs count!)

i do have a wip utau, but i haven't worked on it in a while... i should go back and finish it someday haha

Are you currently listening to a Vocaloid song?

when am i not? <3

By any chance, are you also into Vocanese (Chinese Vocaloids)?

i really love a lot of chinese vocal synths!!! stardust infinity on synthv is INCREDIBLE, and i just love all the medium5 voicebanks in general! for vocaloid specifically though, my favorites are zhiyu moke and xin hua!

How about Engloids (English Vocaloids)?

honestly, i used to hate english vocalsynths back when vocaloid was the best option, because really... no engloids in vocaloid sound good. the only english vocal synths i really like are the ones on synthv (kevin is my favorite!!)

How about CeVIO?

i really dislike cevio. it has so much engine noise, all of the voicebanks sound the same, and yet somehow everyone LOVES it and eats it up every time a new voicebank is released ... ????? it really shows how the fandom is completely centered around how cute the png attached to a voicebank is rather than the actual quality of the voicebank itself

Utaites?

i used to listen to a lot of utaites when i was a young teen, but i don't really listen to many anymore! especially since synthv's ai voicebanks basically make human covers of vocalsynth songs irrelevant lol

Do you have experience covering/making songs using Vocaloids? If so, who are your Vocaloids?

i've only really done one thing in the actual vocaloid editor, and it was a dumb little shitpost involving hime and mikoto, haha, it wasn't even a proper cover of a song or anything like that

Do you like any song series with Vocaloids used? (ex. Kagerou Project, Shuuen no Shiori, etc.)

i really like kagepro!! i also REALLY love harumaki gohan's envy phantom album, the way he tells a story through music is just so beautiful...

anyway, that's it! if you like vocal synths and want to talk about them, please add me on discord!! (lotte#9988) i'd love to have more friends to talk about it with!!

Riouki all of matsudappoiyo's voicebanks were actually reuploaded (along with a new vb for him) in early 2019! :)

Oh boy can't wait to show my age with this thread!

  • What is/are your first Vocaloid song(s)?
    • Ievan Polka! ..Well, for popular Vocaloid songs, that is. Technically it was a Miku cover of Cagayake Girls (K-ON opening) which I didn't realize it was Miku's voice at the time lol
  • When and how did you found Vocaloid?
    • Through a Malaysian magazine called Gempak around early 2010? Uh, it's like Nintendo Power but for games and anime in Malaysia, yeah? They feature Vocaloid figures and Project Diva sometimes and I liked the designs of the Cryptonloids so much that I sometimes draw them despite not knowing what the hell Vocaloids are lol. It wasn't until late 2010 that I have my first foray on the internet and randomly googled Vocaloid.
    • Coincidentally my interest in them was also piqued because at that time they were also having a Vocaloid collab in TinierMe lol (remember that?).
  • Who is/are your favorite Vocaloid(s)
    • IA. Also Miku (yes I genuinely love her voice even when everyone back in the 2010's hiveminded-ly hates her for being "basic" lol), Rin, VY2 and Zunko!
  • Who is/are your favorite producer(s)? List at least five if you have too much choices!
    • Neru and Jesus-P (WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY)!! Also SeleP, Manbou, Jin, Wowaka (RIP...). There's probably more but I haven't listened to them in a while lol. I'm not familiar with newer Vocaloid-Ps haha.
  • Did Vocaloid give you an impact on life of any sort?
    • In a way, yeah! I don't participate in the Vocaloid fandom much myself but I was in the UTAU and Kagepro fandom and met my friends there. Also they totally influenced my OCs and taste in songs in a lot of ways without me realizing haha.
  • Does Vocaloid inspire you?
    • If anything, it inspires me a lot in "indie" related works, I def wanted to try making my own MVs someday in the style of Vocaloid songs, and I learned mixing and some DAW production due to me dabbling in UTAU/Vocaloid covers. If I had the will, I'd also love to make my own song from scratch lol, especially using Vocaloids as the vocals since I'm never confident in my singing.
  • Do you have a favorite UTAUloid?
    • I love Ruko, Miko and Ritsu for Vipperloids! Frankly I mostly listen to Malaysian UTAUs for non-Vipperloids (which is something I need to fix haha), and my fav for non-Vippers is Koene Shiho for Malaysian UTAU, as well as Haruka Nana and Yamine Renri for Japanese!
  • Do you have Vocaloid inspired OCs?
    • I have ones that's inspired from Rin and Len but have yet to upload them yet haha.
  • Do you have Vocaloid OCs? (UTAUs count!)
    • I had a eternally-WIP UTAU named Kurai Ame... This was her old design and this is her redesign I made in recent years lol. She never had a voicebank because I was like 14 when I created her and never had a decent mic + too stupid to understand how oto.ini works. I do plan on reviving her soon as I get an actual mic this year though!
  • Are you currently listening to a Vocaloid song?
    • Not right now but I was looping Ayano's Theory of Happiness almost the entire afternoon lol. I actually haven't listen/keep up with Vocaloid songs now but sometimes I have the urge to loop old ones out of nostalgia.



  • By any chance, are you also into Vocanese (Chinese Vocaloids)?
    • Not really, mostly because I was too hyperfocusing on Kagepro when Chinese Vocas were popular and never caught up with V4 banks, including them. I do love their V3 design though, especially Ideolo's artstyle!
  • How about Engloids (English Vocaloids)?
    • Tbh only Miriam, Avanna and Oliver are the ones I like. (A shame that the former two is rarely used) And I'm still salty that IA English is not a Vocaloid because almost no one uses her CEVIO English bank :/
  • How about CeVIO?
    • I'm not all too familiar with their vb's but I know their popular ones and Vocaloids that are ported into them, in my humble opinion I don't really dig their "signature" engine noises with their voicebanks? It's really the only thing that held me back from liking CeVIOs and I find them more distracting/muffled than UTAUs and older Vocaloids. Which is a shame because I love the sound profile of IA's CeVIO bank! It's just for Vocaloid competitors, I def prefer SynthV as an engine more.
  • Utaites?
    • Not really, I listen to them and know them well but I don't have particular utaites I heavily follow. I frankly prefer most utaite's original songs over their covers for some reasons? If I really had to pick names, I really love Ado! But I only started liking her mostly because of her originals which are mostly after she debuted as a professional lol
  • Youtaites?
    • I used to listen to Jubyphonic a lot for her English lyrics, but that's it. But again, I don't think I have anyone particular as my fav lol.
  • Do you think Google Translate is a better Vocaloid than Tomodachi Life?
    • I never played Tomodachi Life to answer this wheezes
  • Do you have experience covering/making songs using Vocaloids? If so, who are your Vocaloids?
  • Do you like any song series with Vocaloids used? (ex. Kagerou Project, Shuuen no Shiori, etc.)
    • I was HUGELY into Kagepro and my old tumblr blog was 99% Kagepro lol. To measure how long I've been in Kagepro; Yobanashi Deceive was the first song I experienced "live" being posted as a new song and all.
      I was also the one who subtitled and posted the most popular MV for Jinzou Enemy which had almost 2M views so...yeah. 
      As for other Vocasong series, I was into Shuuen no Shiori for a brief moment until they added the 2nd gen cast is where I stopped keeping up? (A bit sad that it was abruptly discontinued though).
      There's also the Evillous Chronicles which I have heard all its main songs but I can't ever process its story to save my life lol.
  • List your OCs that relates to Vocaloid songs! You can spam the thread and post IC if you're more comfortable that way
    1. Rai's backstory is based off Tokyo Teddy Bear by Neru
    2. Kagami's backstory is based off Marie Luise by SeleP
    3. I heavily relate Kureha with Donut Hole by Hachi due to his memory loss haha
    4. Inugami's story with the song Inugami House Divine Possession Mystery by Teniwoha fits TOO well it's almost deja vu
    5. Takuto with Kagerou Daze because of well...the time loop. I almost made a parody MV of this just for that reason askdfjhajsdfhf
    6. And unsurprisingly, Kokoro with Kokoro by Toraboruta-P just for the name lol.
If anyone wants talk about Vocaloids with me, feel free to do so! Just be aware that I don't really follow recent stuff that much nor play stuff like ProSeka to keep up with the cool kids nowadays haha. Also despite my former obsession with Kagepro I'm more than willing to rant and complain about its writing now but their older songs still slaps.  
Bonus if you make covers and such because I really want to improve my skills in tuning, mixing and making VSQs/USTs and would love to have friends that can share their experience in those lol.

Speaking of, I def should someday grab Megamix+ on Steam since I haven't kept up with Project Diva since their Vita game. Hmmmm
