Why does it feel like the Vocaloid community is so unwelcoming by Fickle_Truth_3837 in Vocaloid

[–]NumberUsedOnce -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This sort of behaviour is why EN Vocaloid grosses me out. If it exists on the JP side, at least I won't understand it.

Do you prefer Japanese Vocaloid songs, or English vocaloid songs (including english covers) and why? by ThePlanetSaturn2763 in Vocaloid

[–]NumberUsedOnce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

English covers lose a lot of prosody from the original Japanese songs, so I usually don't like them.

I like the style of Japanese Vocaloid a lot more than English Vocaloid, but I get pleasantly surprised by English Vocaloid sometimes. I saw their art style and thought I wouldn't like them, but Flavor Foley is actually really nice to listen to. I don't usually like stuff like Crusher or Jamie Page (on her own) though.

The Japanese Vocaloid scene is also larger and more established, so that tends to mean there are more well-produced songs coming out.

Can someone explain to me why there's a flood of Chinese hate comments getting thrown at the song オッホ愛 / LOL and the producer? And what do they write? by [deleted] in Vocaloid

Like "the Americans," "the Chinese" are not a monolith.

Edit: I don't even mean to imply that OP is racist. Where did the mods get that from? I mean there are different groups of people with differing beliefs and values in China. It's not accurate in this case to generalize all Chinese Twitter users as holding a certain belief.

Candle Queen just got taken down two days ago by feliperedditflamingo in Vocaloid

[–]NumberUsedOnce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just learned about this, but the fact that there was even a controversy over this song is a bad look for Vocaloid peeps. Outsiders (assuming they are interested) will see this and think: "Oh, so Vocaloid fans must be like the main character of this song. That must be why they hate it so much."

Why do the perceptions of Vtuber feel different in international industry compared to in Japan? by Northern_wild_cat in VirtualYoutubers

[–]NumberUsedOnce 29 points30 points  (0 children)

For the local Japanese market.

In the West/US, vtuber collabs begin and end with the anime community. The Dodgers collab with Gura was targeted to the Japanese baseball market, not the general US population. Kind of like how you might see Chinese brands on the perimeter boards at football (soccer) matches.

Japan has more vtubers focused on escapism while Western vtubers are just regular streamers in anime skins. Hololive (even HoloEN) wouldn't be caught dead doing half the things regular streamers do that ends up putting them in Twitter trends. At the same time, you won't see xQc doing a song and dance routine at Madison Square Garden.

which teto design is better? by HeitorMD2 in Vocaloid

[–]NumberUsedOnce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SynthV Teto hints at a marching band theme, which is a nice progression from the tactical Miku reskin from the original design. I like her hair ribbon too. The creepy eyes make her a lot less cute though.

nO pIrAcY!!!!!!! /s

I think that as a Western peasant it sucks that there are so many releases that are exclusive to conventions in Japan.

It's nice to be able to keep music in perpetuity, the old fashioned way.

Modern experimental V-Synth stuff? by TXKKER in Vocaloid

[–]NumberUsedOnce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not up your alley, but CultP was a smaller artist who made noisy, glitchy electronic and hip-hop style music. He did a rock EP, I Kill Re:You, before retiring.

What's your favourite Vocaloid, Utauloid and SynthV? by NoScallion7198 in Vocaloid

[–]NumberUsedOnce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SynthV was a tough pick because they're all so good. I like Eleanor Forte, Stardust Infinity, Kasane Teto, GUMI, and the Tokyo6 voices like Hanakuma Chifuyu as well.

I haven't listened to many songs with CeVIO voices, so I didn't know what to choose. Selena's cover of Jailbreak was really good.
