VOCALOID

[BrodyMason]

back on topic. why does all Japanese things have chicks with large breasts?

[Darkstar64]

Okay, seriously. Stop. This is about Vocaloid, not a superhero who has had a ton of poopty spin-off series.

[Tickles]

Ron introduced me to this, and I can't get enough. I go rave face whenever i hear meltdown.

[Desbear]

BAKA BAKA BAKA!
Only song I have heard by a vocaloid, love the song

[BrodyMason]

[Tickles]

listen guy, don't turn into another spammer, troller, whatever. This is a thread for Vocaloid. either keep it that way, or don't bother posting here.

back on topic, i want to know more of these songs, anyone besides rob have any good ones?

[Robbase231]

 how about just getting that fool banned from Pokemon Universe forever, that might be fun lol
(p.s stop responding to that sad little man anyway,

trolls get off on annoying people....and apparently looking at men in tights)

To answer DarkStar64 about Nico Nico Chorus
Nico Nico Chorus's are a compilation of Japanese singers and voice actors/actresses (like people who do voices of Death Note, Higurashi, lucky star, Soul Eater, Pokemon, any and all anime) that do covers of Vocaloid songs, some of the vocaloid voices are created from these singers, thus the similarities. They are rather famous in japan and have a decent following; With good reason, they sing really beautifully.

Vocaloid was featured on CNN a few months back, covering not only their rise in popularity, but also their commercial deal with TOYOTA and the recent 4th of July Concert that was entirely sold out. The CNN report also Speaks of a popular pop group AKB48, who has a "new member" Aimi Eguchi, who is in fact computer generated



she is basically a life like vocaloid



here is the CNN report

The TOYOTA commercial will not be airing on television in the U.S, simply because Vocaloid is not well known here, neither is it well received. I cannot tell you how many people were actually scared of the fact that it was a computer singing instead of a person. Outside of the U.S Vocaloid is gaining major attention and a nice fan base, and as the News reporter had said, their music is topping the charts.

Advancements in Vocaloid and Holographic Technology

They are getting rather advanced with the programs they are putting out. VPVP (Vocaloid promotional Video Production) released Miku Miku Dance a while back as freeware, specifically to advertise the Vocaloid Software. They have since then made boat loads of money, and the soft ware they have been producing is getting pretty revolutionary.

Of course one their more well known feats is the Hologram Concerts, but aside from that the Vocal programs are being pushed further as well. with MMDAgent, you can actually talk with Vocaloids like miku, and I am sure as it gets more advanced, these conversations are going to be more and more fluid

Also, they are developing interactive Holograms, where you can actually feel them through ultrasonic waves

One word for Vocaloid: AWSOME!

Here are some of my favorite songs from them!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip1qrvvCPlU - Matryoshka
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLcw8Sq_YOw - Romeo & Cinderella
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rin+kagamine+daughter+of+evil&aq=3&oq=rin+kagamine+ - Daughter of Evil
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0-2lzA7_Cg - Po-Pi-Po

I have lots of others, but if I put all of them in here, then it'd probably fill the page, c:.

I also found something very similar to Vocaloid too, something called UTAU where you can do most of the things Vocaloid can for free, AND make your own singer, I tried it out myself, but it's a bit embarrasing, so I wont link it. :3

Back to topic, Vocaloid's are the BEST. SINGERS. EVER!

Also, found a parody of Po Pi Po, funny as hell! XD

[Robbase231]

Ah yes, UTAU is a similar program, just as Lugiafan98 said

One of the more famous Utau models is Teto



She became so popular in fact that they made a voice for her and is frequently seen with the Vocaloids, one song in particular is Triple Baka

back on topic. why does all Japanese things have chicks with large breasts?

[Darkstar64]

I'll keep an eye out for future concerts, I am going to the next one regardless

[NexosYourGayBestFriend96]

I've seen alot of video's about how they might make singing robots in the future, the first model used Vocaloid to synthesise the music. I have a feeling that alot of the singers that we have today are going to be replaced. Vocaloid and UTAU are going to get really popular really fast.

Well think of the implications of this kind of technology

If we have enough information on them, we could bring back dead singers or actors and have them perform on stage again.

We could have holographic pokemon battles, where the "pokemon gym" has your Charizard zooming about the field taking on Blazikin or something

Yu Gi Oh fans would flip out if they knew that the tech is available today to make those duels in the show a reality

There is a lot more to Vocaloid then just the singing, the implications this technology has for the future just makes me giddy
