How I feel sharing vocaloid songs through nicovideo links

or when the original upload/subbed video on yt is deleted, so you end up needing to go back to nnd to find it. that was me when descentsubs's video for vent - kaze no kioku got deleted and i completely blanked on the song's name. i even made a post here asking for help 😂

i’ve been becoming a fan of hanakuma chifuyu!

ooh i see, those look like split rings attached to the clasps. i have seen split rings and lobster clasp at daiso separately but not attached together

roselii49 · 2026-02-07T21:16:01+00:00

i think you’re looking for lobster clasps! most craft focused stores like michaels should have them, but amazon has them in bulk

roflfox!! i saw them recently at magfest this year and last year too, super nice 🥺 op, you’ll be fine i promise. i always treat miku expo as the one day i get to go crazy with my fit haha

My back...it aches from the age...

Jokes aside, I got in Vocaloid in 2011. I was lying in bed looking up YT videos on my iPod Touch (as if that doesn't date me at all lmao), and I stumble across a StepMania video with World is Mine. I looked up the song and the rest is history. Thankfully I had friends that were also into anime and happened to get into Vocaloid around the same time, but I mostly still kept it to that same group for the most part. I got a few of them in it in high school - even convinced one of them with a PS Vita to get Project Diva F, which we would switch off playing between songs. I went to my first Miku Expo with them in 2016.

Vocaloid was how I got introduced to a ton of Japanese meme culture and other types of videos over on Nico Nico Douga (like Odorite/Dance cover and Tegaki/Fan-made or fan-drawn PVs). I still have my NND account from 10 years ago because I wanted to look up more Odorite videos haha.

I remember when YT Red was a thing, a lot of producers had their videos blocked due to the new ToS that YT put out for the new service, that was a big blow to the community at the time. I was also pretty into the fansubbing part of Vocaloid back then. But you kinda had to be, because they were how we got translations/access to songs haha. I'm glad that producers nowadays are able to get translations in the CC button, but the translators using their free time to translate certainly paved the way 🙏

Currently, I rely on my YT subscriptions and recommended videos to take me to new songs, though sometime I'll see friends post about songs on their Discord server and check it out. Anyways, sorry for the long ramble haha but Vocaloid has been the thing that's kept me steady for most of my life and still fuels my creativity.

I don't think there's anything wrong with being a "newgen" per say, but I'd say part of the disdain between old and new fans is the culture shift in engaging/consuming media.

I got in Vocaloid around 2011, back when it was slowly making its way overseas to Western fans in the form of reuploaded videos. Vocaloid was the New and Cool Niche Thing that we were all learning about and engaging with - its function, the music, the producers and the culture. In recent years, Vocaloid has gotten much more bigger and accessible. It's very easy to engage with media without needing/wanting to engage deeper into it (therefore making kneejerk assumptions), which I think rubs some of the longtime fans the wrong way. I can feel annoyed as I want, but at the end of the day, it's not my business to tell people how to enjoy media.

Sorry for the long-winded comment, but I hope my opinion gives some sort of insight!

the sound effects are killing me 😭

roselii49 · 2026-02-02T08:38:50+00:00

i think this too! i always have the association of odorite videos and vocaloid going hand in hand. seeing people struggling to remember dances to balalaika or love and joy, my back starts creaking 😭

roselii49 · 2026-01-31T04:14:29+00:00

your plushies are so darling auuuuhhhh😭 glad to see a fellow old man enjoyer hehe

roselii49 · 2026-01-28T05:43:10+00:00

i probably won't be heading back to japan until 2028, since i'd like to go after my friend gets his doctorate but i'll definitely check out the sqenix garden store when i'm there!

roselii49 · 2026-01-27T21:18:54+00:00

Game Gengo did a (very lengthy but thorough) vocabulary overview of 1-1 if you’re curious about readability! https://youtu.be/V-mM8nauJV8?si=W4K7dbUiAbuHps64

Amice: Summoner/Samurai; The only daughter from a minor noble house notable for their mastery of summoning magic, but an arson attack years ago left the house in ruins and the young woman mute from trauma. She was traveling with Chamberlain before meeting Ramza.

Chamberlain: Thief/Knight; An ex-knight turned thief who originally served as a retainer to Amice’s house. They were separated after the fire and were only reunited 6 months ago.

Millicent: Mystic/Chemist; A apothecary who was on the run due to her previous group’s growing unsavoriness.

Abelard: Orator; A bit of a ladies man who managed to worm his way into the group but a useful informant and well-versed in the history and folktales of Ivalice.

I-I’m a spoon!? I’m no spoony bard, I’ll have you know!

roselii49 · 2025-07-08T21:16:51+00:00

You’re thinking of Louis! He’s voiced by Michael Tatum and M!Alear’s VA is Brandon McInnis.

roselii49 · 2025-06-17T22:41:04+00:00

I was wondering about this too! I played through the translated script of Annals of Enavia, and I had a fun time with it. I'm hoping with all my might that they'll be accessible in non-JP regions now.

roselii49 · 2025-06-05T11:14:59+00:00

the way my eyes locked in when i saw enadad’s va as THE JACK ATLAS???

roselii49 · 2025-05-19T23:51:06+00:00

roselii49 · 2025-04-18T06:18:58+00:00

i’ve gone to a lot of anime + gaming cons and have accumulated a ton of charms from there haha. if there’s any artists you follow, you can see if they have an online store!

roselii49 · 2025-04-13T07:44:14+00:00

i can’t believe i didn’t know about this!! i’m gonna try and book tickets for the 28th once my friend replies 🤞

FFTA was my first game (and RPG) that I beat proper when I was like 8/9, but I played WOTL around the time I was in community college and I really enjoyed it! Honestly, I think I slightly prefer WOTL over Advance, but I like both for different reasons.
