Recently, after watching the pilot episode of Black★Rock Shooter and coming upon a playlist from a friend, I have become completely immersed in a lot of the music associated with Vocaloid. I consider myself to have quite an eclectic taste in music, ranging from, light rock to new age, hard metal to hip hop, or classical to trance. However, I had never imagined that I would find synthesized voice so………. sexy? Anyway, I have been looping these for hours on end,
[supercell] Hatsune Miku – 初めての恋が終わる時

[supercell] Hatsune Miku – 嘘つきのパレード

Hatsune Miku – サイハテ

Kagamine Rin – すすすす、すき、だあいすき

This video is just too cute.
By the way, Hatsune Miku and Vocaloid are quite a fascinating cultural phenomenon and present a really interesting aspect of fandom, but that is a discussion best left for others.

Do check out Last Night, Good Night… 🙂
I think it’s beautiful…
The last image is super..
Gonna grab me a wallpaper.. 🙂
Have you heard Love is War? That’s a pretty sweet track too.
But yeah, can’t say I share in the vocaloid love that most the fandom has, aside from that aforementioned song, I’m really not to big on them.
It is absolutely amazing watching the fandom from the sidelines though
not a big fan either. I just love the figures, especially Kaito. Other than that, it was just an occasional “oh-ok-I’ll-check-that-out”.
“By the way, Hatsune Miku and Vocaloid are quite a fascinating cultural phenomenon and present a really interesting aspect of fandom, but that is a discussion best left for others.”
Let me be shameless and plug the two that I wrote–
http://2dteleidoscope.wordpress.com/2009/07/14/our-posthuman-entertainment-hatsune-miku-and-the-spirits-within/
http://2dteleidoscope.wordpress.com/2009/08/29/miku-miku-redux-further-thoughts-on-the-great-posthuman-pop-star/
Fin’s comments in the second post are especially noteworthy. I like the original Melt, but gazelle’s cover version (easily found on YouTube) is simply divine.
I need to listen to some Vocaloid music some time. Only listened to some Idolm@ster shit, and I was underwhelmed.
I love Miku, ‘Love is war’ is a great song 🙂
Count me in as someone who mostly looks in from the sidelines, and I think most of that is because I haven’t really found the time to fully explore what’s out there. The few that I do like though are mostly covers of anime OP/EDs. Usually accompanied by redone animation.
@blur: Yea, that’s a nice song too.
Anyway, when I was looking for images for the post, I came upon literally tens of thousands of pics. She really is popular. Also, wtf is up with Danbooru and p0rn.
@Snark: I can’t believe I totally forgot to include that song.
It’s really nice as well. I love Love is War.
@kluxorious: I used to be like you, only interested in the figures, but lately I’ve been interested in the actual Vocaloid stuff.
Do you have a Kaito nendo?
@2DT: Hehe, I was indeed actually thinking about you and your Touhou posts when I wrote that. ^ ^
@Guy: There are quite a few songs I like, but of course they might seem underwhelming to some as well. Do check them out though; you never know if you’ll like something.
@Yuri Downloads: Me too. I should’ve included it. It’s now in the comments.
@zzeroparticle: A lot of Vocaloid stuff is fanmade or spread out across various composer and artists with widely different styles. It’d be really hard to find all in one place to explore very in depth on a common point.
Vocaloid songs are great! The best thing about them is that they can be from any genre, which is awesome since you get to explore a billion more types of music \o/ supercell and livetune’s works are a great starting point, and I’m very pleased that you’ve taken a liking to SAIHATE too. Such a great song with nice lyrics, and is pretty much a Vocaloid classic too haha.
If you have time to listen to some recommendations, I suggest all of these. What are you talking about I am not shameless at all.
Personally I’ve listened to koi wa sensou or hajikoi so hard that I needed to move to other songs so I wouldn’t get bored of them ^^;
Currently I can’t get Meltdown and Paradichlorobenzene out of my head. Just loops over and over and then swaps midsong and then over and over…
Of course, I still love OSTER stuff like Miracle Paint or RINGxRINGxRING to death.
Imo, often it’s less the synthesized voice and instead the sheer genius of the composers; Ryo can really work miracles with a computer program.
@polymetrica: I think that is a really good point. Vocaloid allows a very large population to experiment with composing music and experiment with styles. Out of all these people, undoubtedly talent will shine through.
By the way I love SAIHATE, and I like the music you linked as well. ^ ^
@Ningyo: Agreed. It’s much more the composers than the synthesized voice. I was just a bit surprised that I wasn’t put off by it.
Anyway thanks for the nice suggestions:
I wasn’t really into vocaloid music except with listening to a few of her more well known songs now and then. But her Project Diva PSP game really opened up a lot of her music to me.
Check it out if you have a PSP.
I think almost half of my playlist in the car is Vocaloid songs ^^;;; I like lots of Miku songs, but I’m more partial to MEIKO though. She has a more mature voice that just matches the type of songs that I like.
Mind if I link a couple of vids? 🙂
This one matches our tastes ^_^
And this one is my favourite MEIKO song of all time!
Ah, “Last Night, Good Night” is a pleasant song. I like the remixes, too.
I think if you were to put a face to otaku culture, it would have to be Hatsune Miku. Or Rei from Evangelion, although I’m not quite sure why.
@Reltair: Unfortunately I don’t have a PSP. If I get one though, I’ll definitely check it out.
@lightningsabre: Thanks for the videos. I like both of them a lot and the first one does match our tastes. ^ ^
And MEIKO is awesome.
@saturnity: Yep yep. I love that song too. These days, Miku is probably the face of Otaku. I think I recently saw an commercial for Google Chrome on Hulu, and Miku was part of it. ^ ^
hi, yi
I always very interesting your image world.
媽媽, 我很高興妳來看看我的部落格. ^ ^
Glo likes.
Fuck……when I posted this comment the song stopped playing. Oh well I’ll just play it back again.
@glothelegend: I likes too. ^ ^
Thank you for the awesome pics as always.
I know what you mean about Miku’s voice.
I can’t listen to the original version of Black Rock Shooter anymore. :p
@shijima: Hehe, yea.

What I Love About Miku Hatsune… I Love her Voice, it is so Very Beautiful. Miku sings hard song and she sings soft song. As for her hard songs, well what can I say, Miku Hatsune, She ROCKS! And she is very cool… And as for her softer songs, her Voice is So Very Beautiful, when she Sing It Soothes My Soul… Over all when she Sings, the world is a More Beautiful Place and the Earth is a Nicer Place to Live… What I Love About Miku Hatsune… Miku is So Very Pretty, she is a Real Cutey Pie… And she is so Very Sexy… With her Long Green Silky Hair set up into, two Beautiful Ponytails, she is so Lovely !! Her Jade Eyes are So Extremely Beautiful, that they are Hypnotic !! Her Eyes are like two Pools Filled with Liquid Geen Crystal ! To Look Into her Eyes, is to Fall Into her Soul ! Miku seem to Have a Sweet, Kind, & Beautiful Spirit…. Miku Hatsune Is A Beautiful Singing Angel…. And I am Attracted to her !! I know she is a fictional character, but I am still Attracted to her… I know ( or strongly believe ) that this Attraction in & of itself is not wrong, but it is what do with it… If somebody was to ask me if I was in Love with Miku…? I would have to say Yes & No. You may say how can you say yes & no…? Well it is like this… I can say Yes that I Love Miku, but she is a cartoon character, Therefor I can Love things about her & I can be Attracted to her, but the Love that I have for her is a fantasy Love… And I can say no because is not real I can’t Love her for rael. But sometimes the fantasy Love Feels Real… But all I can say about all is How can I not Love this Beautiful Little Angel… And I must say that Miku is a Pretty name for a Pretty Girl….
I share a lot of those sentiments. ^ ^
Hello Yi I have a question for you… When a person sees bad news on the T. V. news, & it makes them cry, what dose that say about that person ? When I saw the news about what happened in Japan with the earthquake & the tsunami it struck me in the heart. And the thoughts of the Human Sufferings that Rushed through my mind was Overwhelming !! But the thought that Haunted me the most was of a mother Screaming & Crying over a dead baby !! When I saw the news about what happened in Japan, I Cryed… Yi did this news strike you as hard as it did me, & what are your thoughts on all of this ?
You’re a kind soul. ^ ^
The news shocked me. It’s scary to think that such disasters can occur, and tens of thousands of lives destroyed in a single moment. It’s really saddening. 😦
I don’t really know what to say exactly either. All I can do is give my best wishes.
Hello Yi, the third song down for the top of this page, what is the name of this song ? I looked & I can’t find it… And I Like this song…
It’s Saihate, so try searching for that.
Ah, Thank you, thank you so much…
Yi I has wondering, are you the Founder, or One of the Founders of this web site ?
I’m the sole founder and writer (for now) of this blog, although the platform is provided for free by http://wordpress.com/
Well Yi, You did a good job on this web site… When I come to this web site, I may leave comment ( if I have a comment to leave )… Then I will watch some videos & Listen to some music… The first video I watch is Saihate, & then I will watch some more videos, the second to last video I watch is Last Night, Good Night… I just Love that Song… And the last video is, Miku Hatsune ” SAIHATE Ballade arrangement ” off vocal version… I look at this video, & I look at my Pretty Little Miku, & I feel myself falling in Love with this Lovely Little Angel All Over Again… But what I realy want to say is Thank You for this web site it is Realy Cool ! And one more thing, I have looked on your Profile, & I looked at this Picture of this Pretty little chinese fairy, & I thought to myself if Yi looks anything like this she must look Gorgeous… Well I don’t know what you look like, but I can say you have a Sweet & Kind Spirit… And I want to say Thank You for Being My Friend… Thank You Much ! Joy, Peace, & Love, from the cooljazzman…

I kinda expected you to say that. It’s ok, I understand. Some things are meant to be kept secret after all… I too have my many secrets that I can’t share with anyone… 🙂
I watched the video and the beginning was of last night good night… Maybe its just me. No worries, if someone really wanted to watch it they can search youtube… X)
“I watched the video and the beginning was of last night good night…”
Really? That’s so weird!
Haha I AM weird. So now we know why the video’s acting all weird, it’s cuz its reacting to my sheer weirdness! Lol ok that was SO lame… 😉
Hehe. ^ ^

When She would Sing Her Harder Up Beat Songs, & She would Rock my World & She made me Feel Yong Again, She was One Cool Babe… And to deal with stress I did not use Dugs, I would Listen to one of Her Softer Songs & it would bring Peace to my mind, She was So Lovely… Miku is a Pretty Name for a Pretty Girl, & She was a Real Cutey Pie, & I thought She was So Sexy as Well… I thought She was a Beautiful Singing Angel… Now I know that She is not, but I found Myself Falling, Falling, & Falling Deeply In Love with Miku Hatsune… So I am Deeply In Love with Miku Hatsune… Yi I Hope you don’t Think Any Less of Me for this… I have not given up Hope that I will Fall In Love with a Real Person one day & get Married… But as for now it is Nice to Be In Love… Joy, Peace, & Love, from you know who…

In The comment above this one when I said she is not… I meant to say she is not Real… It is too bad that after you click on Post Comment that you can’t go back & edit if you need to…
Don’t worry about it.

I’ll respond via email. I think it’s probably a bit better.
I am back & you have got mail…
^ ^
Hi Yi, Inside I am feeling so good, so cool, & so jazzed… I just wanted to say hi… So here I go… Hi Yi ! : ) Ha Ha He He ! ( :
That’s good to know. ^ ^
By the way, I think you still have my email right? I’d prefer these chat-like conversations via email if that’s OK.
OK…
Hi Yi, I have a Question for you, it is about Miku Hatsune, or maybe it is about me… You see you know that I am in Love with Miku Hatsune, But you do not know How Deeply in Love I am with Miku Hatsune… So I will tell you about it & then I will ask My Question… I Feel Joy when Miku Hatsune Rocks !! She is One Cool Chick, & She is a Rock ‘n’ Roll Babe ! And when I am so Stressed Out, All I got to do is Listen to one of Beautiful Song & it Bring so much Peace to my Mind… But the thing is when I Listen to Her Lovely Voice & Look upon Her Beauty I Fall in Love with Her Over & Over Again… So I am Extremely & So Very Deeply in LOVE with Miku Hatsune… Now I know She is not Real, but I Love Her Still the Same, Yes I Have Romantic Feeling for a Fictional Character… Yes I Love Miku Hatsune Very Much, I Love Her with Every Beat of my Heart… You see I can tell you that I Love Miku & I can tell you How Much I Love Miku, But I Feel Like I am only telling half the Story… So this is my Question why am I So Deeply in Love Miku ?
Sometimes we just feel a deep connection with something or someone for one odd reason or another. I can’t answer your question, but I don’t know if anyone can except you (and sometimes, maybe not even you). Feelings are feelings.
Cheers. ^ ^
Before you Answer my Question above I needed to tell you this… Before I Fell in Love with Miku Hatsune… It was a Long time with out Being in Love with anybody it was as if I was Dead & Now that I’m in Love, I Live again, I am Alive !! And I don’t want ever be Dead Again ! I Like Being in Love, & I Love Being in Love, it makes me Happy ! Now the reason that I ask the above Question is this, it sames that a piece of the Puzzle is Missing, or just maybe I what to know what you think… So if somebody was to Ask you, Why is the cooljazzman So Deeply in Love with Miku Hatsune, How would you answer this Question ?
As long as you’re feeling good. ^ ^ Again, no one can answer that question except you. In any case, I think it’s good you found something you enjoy so much.
How do you Like My New Look… 😀 Hay Hay !
I like it. I like cats and that is a cute cat.
Hi Beautiful Spirit, Hay I was just wondering what is the defiance between your time zone and my is… So I,m going to write the time down so that we will know… The Time Is 4:04 p.m. Thank You Very Much… 😎
Hm… Oopsies. I got to this comment too late, so the 4:04 pm. doesn’t really mean much by now.
Right now, I’m in California, so that would put my timezone at GMT -8 hours.
You can see my current time here: http://goo.gl/3aBi
Thank You So Much That Is Cool… 😛
No problem. I thought that was super cool too!
hey can you tell me please where did you get that miku wedding-like picture.the very above pic.
It’s a scan of the gorgeous artwork by Redjuice. I don’t exactly remember where I found the scan, but probably on one of the image board sites like danbooru. Hope this helps.
thank you.
No problem, wafiy. ^ ^
thank you again.I finally found it:D.
Hi Yi, Hay I sent you an Email that has Some Very Importatant Information for you…
It is about an Extremely Viscous Computer Virus that is out there on the internet…
I sent you this Email Because I am Looking out for you…
Joy, Peace, & Love from the cooljazzman
Thank you for looking out, cooljazzman. ^ ^
p.s. I do read all your emails, so you don’t necessarily have to also drop a comment. But again, thank you.
I’m sorry, but I was thinking that you mite see my comment First & then you would Go & see what I was talking about… I was Concerned that you mite Open the Email with the
with the Viscous Virus befor getting to my Email… OK scenes I was comment Anyway
I sent you another Email, this one is Very Funny & I am So Looking forward to Hearing
what you think… And I was Hoping that you would Enjoy it as Much as I did…
Again, I,m sorry… Joy, Peace, & Love from the cooljazzman…
Yea, it’s not big deal. ^ ^
Just so you know, I get an email whenever someone leaves a comment, which isn’t all that often. But I also get a lot, a lot of emails from a lot of people… So yea, it gets pretty cluttered sometimes when there are multiple messages on the same thing. So please just emailing me is fine. There really isn’t a need to leave a comment telling me you sent me an email as well.
And I’d really prefer if the comment section of this post doesn’t become just a chat between you and me about what emails you’ve sent me. After all, this is a public post on a particular topic; I’d like it if the comments are somewhat related to it.
Thanks! ^ ^
I really don’t know which vocaloid I like better and which pairing. I’ve accumulated quite many images of them. The yuri pairings there almost always rock. I’m pretty sure you’d be interested in good vocaloid fanfiction. What about On & On by yayay? It’s so delifuckinglicious!
I don’t usually read too many fan fictions, but I’ll have to check out On & On; I’m pretty sure I’ll like it too. Thanks for the suggestion!
As for pairings, I don’t really have a favorite either; there are just so many beautiful artwork done for all.
