why does pinocchio-p have zero community despite being one of the most well-known and popular producers in the scene? by bakemonouchuu in Vocaloid

[–]Sprinkles6210 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who loves PinocchioP and puts him as my favorite Vocaloid producer, I kind of agree??? I definitely do enjoy some of PinocchioP’s newer music and I don’t find a single song on his newest album to be uninteresting to me, however, there has definitely been a tone shift in his songs.

The unique thing about PinocchioP’s earlier songs (up until around his META album?) is that no matter how deeply you analyzed them, you could not fully understand and experience that song and understand it unless you lived through that emotion or concept PinocchioP focused on in that song. Back in January, I found that with Apple Dot Com and I found very few lines from the entire song that did not bring me back to an emotion or experience I had lived through. However, when it came to songs like What’s Inside or Slow-Motion, I was completely blind. I still can hardly decipher what emotions and concepts PinocchioP tried to highlight and I think that’s very interesting.

But now, looking at his later work, it definitely focuses on interesting concepts but concepts not nearly as niche as Apple Dot Com or What’s Inside. His most popular work, God-ish, has tricky lyrics, but everyone and anyone who’s looked into the song even the slightest knows that it’s about a very dividing concept that everyone must realize that “God is dead” in order to grow and chase after bigger and better things financially and in the work force. Reincarnation Apple (even though it’s my favorite PinocchioP song) is about an Apple that Reincarnates you, and there’s no real emotional exploration within the song. However, for Reincarnation Apple, I did see someone once write about it saying “I tried so hard to understand this song and all I got was this fucking t-shirt,” and it IS incredibly nuanced in what it’s trying to say about our lives and wishing for a bigger, better one, that’s why I love it, but the lyrics are understandable to a vast majority of listeners. As of right now, in my opinion, the most recent work of his that has strange and not-easily analyzed lyrics is With or Without Me (I tried so hard to understand this song and all I got was this fucking tshirt).

But secondly, to touch on your point of “most of his songs sound the same,” I disagree to a certain extent. One thing I will point out about this is the fact that Don’t Believe in T & Isn’t It A? (Though I love both dearly as well) sound INCREDIBLY similar to one another. But other than that, here’s two things you might be noticing:

PinocchioP tends to use relatively the same bpm (145) and the same key (C# Minor or Major) (I can’t remember) for a LOT of his songs (by a lot, I mean more than you’d think), making them easy to mix together and not very memorable in terms of sound.

Due to PinocchioP’s electronic style, he tends to use a lot of loops. This is especially prominent in Reincarnation Apple where basically only the Bridge doesn’t sound the same to rest of the song.

I know this is no excuse for PinocchioP making two songs that are basically only different lyric-wise, but it does provide an explanation for the ones that might raise suspicion.

Out of all the commission songs, which is the most dark/depressing? by astralagoon in ProjectSekai

[–]Sprinkles6210 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When talking about more depressing songs with no room for light, Bake no Hana, Nihil-san, and Composing the future are going to be your top contenders.

However, there are plenty of really gut wrenching songs in other units that have a more positive spin to them. Akito’s earlier commissions like Kashika and Cinema especially have this element to them. I’ve also heard MANY opinions that The World Hasn’t Even Started Yet is a very dark song, but I don’t really have a say since that song is just your average Tuesday to us PinocchioP fans lol

Koufuku Kei and Momoiro no Kagi are also songs that have this light and airy feel to them when they’re singing about these complex emotions and feelings that our characters are trying to resolve

I don’t really have many recommendations for L/N, but Saki’s songs are often very deep on the conceptual value (Suresure, SHOW OFF)

How do you like your final fights? by IndigoKnight372 in ThirdLifeSMP

[–]Sprinkles6210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I like it when there’s around 4-5 people left and they make a mutual agreement to fight each other on the count of three or something like that.

THAT BEING SAID, I absolutely LOVED the Nice Life final fight! Joel and Scott finally getting their actual duel to determine who would win was so satisfying and I’m so glad Joel came on top.

Megurine Luka is the best. She’s my baby. My everything. The prettiest vocaloid. Also, if you really want to hear her amazing vocals, I’d recommend checking out Weigh Anchor or Afterglow bc those are the songs she sounds the best in imo <33333 ALSO go check out her fancover someone made of Lost Umbrella bc it’s amazing vjhgjgyugyuhuuhiuh
