My previous thread was closed because I didn't feel qualified to make a proper vocaloid thread. But the BBcode for this has been sitting in my notepad folder for long enough, so forget it.
(and other Vocaloid)
What the forget is this?This is a thread for anyone with remote-to-fanboyistic interest in Hatsune Miku and other forms of vocaloid. This thread focuses less on the software itself and more on the songs and characters from the software. I might make a separate vocaloid software thread in the future, but for now this is all I have.
Can you tell me about the software anyway?Vocaloid is developed and distributed by Yamaha. While Yamaha develops the software, the voice banks used to actually run the software are provided by third party companies such as Crypton future media. The software uses these voice banks to synthesize pitch and words using autotune.
Vocaloid charactersHatsune Mikulove: Female
Age: 16
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 92.4lbs
Noteworthy songs: The World is Mine, The Singing Passion of Hatsune Miku, Freely Tomorrow
Description: Miku is easily considered the most popular vocaloid of all time. She was the first vocaloid developed by Crypton future media, she's the only vocaloid I know of who has regular live concerts, and she has more songs than any other vocaloid to date. Miku was designed with the concept of an android in the near future when songs are long-forgotten. She was also gonna be the first multilingual vocaloid, but that was scrapped and later became Megurine Luka.
Kagamine Rin & Lenlove: Female (Rin), Male (Len)
Age: 14
Height: 5' 0" (Rin), 5' 1.4" (Len)
Weight: 94.79lbs (Rin), 103lbs (Len)
Noteworthy songs: Love/Hate, Meltdown (Rin), Soundless Voice (Len)
Description: Rin and Len were the second vocaloids released by Crypton. While fans have viewed them as siblings
and/or lovers, they're supposed to be represented as one personality represented by two people; which is a lot more appropriate considering how their voice banks were recorded from the same person.
Megurine Lukalove: Female
Age: 20
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 99lbs
Noteworthy songs: Luka Luka*Night Fever, Blackjack, Glasses
Description: Luka was the first multilingual vocaloid developed by Crypton. Not only does she have voice banks in both English and Japanese, but her name literally translates to "songs to all around the world as scent spreads." Originally Hatsune Miku was gonna be bilingual, but plans changed and eventually Luka was formed.
KAITOlove: Male
Age: Presumably 18
Height: ~5' 8"
Noteworthy songs: Cantarella, Thousand Year Solo, Crescent Moon
Description:
KAITO is pretty uninteresting. He was one of the first vocaloids ever released and is one of the most popular voice banks used, but is considered a failure by Crypton.
MEIKOlove: Female
Age: Presumably 21
Height: ~5' 8"
Noteworthy songs: Stay with me, Nostalogic, Break it Break it
DescriptionN/A
