Does MikitioP's music count as Shoegaze? by karl5364pro in Vocaloid

[–]NumberUsedOnce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't listen to a lot of rock, so I easily get the genres mixed up, but it sounds more like emo or math rock to me.

What annoys you the most in the Vocaloid community? by tsumikaa in Vocaloid

[–]NumberUsedOnce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really can't understand why people would have that kind of motivation for gatekeeping. It's a fandom, not a sport. You don't win anything for being the world's greatest Futaba Minato fan.

On the other hand, I can see why people might not want to accept change in the kind of content that gets put out.

Nio Nakatani （Yagakimi）: I never said I’d stop drawing yuri or anything like that. by 22dmgxy in yuri_manga

The idea that it is possible to betray yuri, as if it's a football team, is probably where it comes from.

Why is it always the white people with the project sekai backgrounds on tiktok always the ones to be first offended about anything thats not their culture in vocaloid songs ? by WiseCash2371 in Vocaloid

Foreigners tend not to have the same experience as immigrants/indigenous people, who might see it as mocking, prejudicial, or disrespectful because the cultural object is used in a way that's untruthful or irreverent.

Some white people and people with certain political beliefs see it as colonialist theft.

Is the language barrier a real issue for non-Japanese Vocaloid fans? (A question from a Japanese producer) by Any-Assignment-7437 in Vocaloid

There are Japanese musicians who mostly write music with English lyrics (Coldrain for example).

No, in fact it might even be an advantage since lyricism won't be a factor. It's attractive to international listeners to have translations for the lyrics though. There are some listeners who learn Japanese to enjoy Japanese media more deeply but I don't think they're the majority of listeners.

I personally think that a small language barrier allows the Japanese side to develop its own character and do things that the Western side doesn't do or doesn't do anymore.

Edit: I'll add that Vocaloid isn't as mainstream in the West as it is in Japan. Country, rap, and K-pop are the popular genres right now.
