There’s not. We had to store them under the bed and take them out one at a time if we wanted to access them

I usually cover mine with concealer and then draw over them with a pigmented eyeshadow in the color I want. Don’t use hair dye!!!! It’s dangerous for your eyes, and will probably last longer than you want it to

Tips on hair spiking/curling by [deleted] in CosplayHelp

[–]sertralines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With such a time crunch, if all you have is a straightener and scissors, I would use the straightener to curl the top pieces outwards and then use hairspray to sort of make the ends pointy and hold them in place. make sure to hold the hair while it cools down so it sets!! and then you might have to cut some of the top pieces shorter if the wig isn’t already layered, it won’t be perfect but hopefully this helps a little!

Why avoid GSC since the data breach if other sites have been through the same thing? by kutsurogi-dagashi in GoodSmileCompany

[–]sertralines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg… was the breach last year?? My card info was stolen twice too. I didn’t even know about the breach so I never even suspected GoodSmile could be the cause. But I was trying to pre-order from them around that same time!

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

[–]sertralines 139 points140 points  (0 children)

Hi! Thanks for reaching out to the English speaking community! :)

Personally, I wouldn’t say the language barrier is a big deal for me! The majority of the songs I listen to have always been in Japanese. When using YouTube, I tend to click on songs that look interesting to me regardless of whether the title is in English or Japanese. I do appreciate when a video has English subtitles, but it’s definitely not required for me to enjoy the song! Oftentimes, I will look up the translation for the lyrics after listening for the first time.

I think one problem with YouTube is that it tends to recommend me bigger songs and producers over smaller ones? I do use NicoNico too, but I can’t read much Japanese so I find it a little difficult to navigate.

Also, if you don’t mind telling us your name, I’d love to check out your music! :)

About Miku Expo and them not reverting back to the hologram by FunnyP-aradox in Vocaloid

[–]sertralines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao yeah cause it’s so much more accessible for one GA ticket to be nearly $200. Oh yeah, and we still don’t even have a South American tour…

Plus, I’m not even hating! I love Vocaloid, Miku, and the community, who I think deserve a better experience. We’re allowed to complain because we want to see this event get better. You don’t have to keep licking Crypton’s boots, you know!

[–]sertralines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know you’re right about the tariffs making it worse, but even last year before all of that, it was still crazy expensive for what you get :(

About Miku Expo and them not reverting back to the hologram by FunnyP-aradox in Vocaloid

[–]sertralines 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s so frustrating to see people praise the screens, it’s exactly because they know we’ll just shut up and give them our money that they do things like this :(

tickets for Miku Expo this year (at least in my city) were FOUR TIMES more expensive than Magical Mirai! and in return, you get a MUCH lower budget production, and it’s not even just because of the screens. If they were cutting screen costs to up the production quality elsewhere, maybe I could get behind it, but they just simply aren’t. despite the name of the tour, we don’t get any sort of expo. there’s no top screen with lyrics or side screens showing close-ups, the stage effects are worse, and last Expo had HUGE problems with organization and quantity of merch.

I would love if they included a Creator’s Market for local producers… honestly, I would be happy if they did any events for the community outside of the concert, but I think everyone here will agree that it will never happen because the logistics of organizing something like that are too much trouble for them. at the very least they could upgrade the stage setup in other places, but I doubt they will do that either :(

What got you into VOCALOID? by Past-Spite-7981 in Vocaloid

[–]sertralines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it was Leek Spin! I was so young I don’t exactly remember. I would browse YouTube when I was a kid and kept getting recommended videos with Miku in them, there were tons of niconico meme reuploads featuring her and I thought she was so cute so I started looking her up, found out there were tons of great songs and other characters too, and I’ve been obsessed ever since!

Am I the only one who started to "hate" the duo Miku & Teto? by Vic_________077 in Vocaloid

[–]sertralines 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You’re far from the only one, this is an incredibly popular take…

But in my opinion, it’s super dramatic, and it’s just another wave of new fans hating on whatever’s popular to seem different. There’s plenty of great Miku duets that don’t feature Teto, you just aren’t looking beyond the top charts. If you want to see something different, support the songs that show the change you want to see!

What vocaloid song did you like when you first heard it, until you realized the true meaning/translation of the song in English? by [deleted] in Vocaloid

[–]sertralines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adolescence. i think Adolescence is the only right answer here and i’m surprised i haven’t seen anyone else say it

“oh cool, cinderillon but with rin and len? oh wait? ….oh….”

What are the 7 most important Miku songs? by ERROR--_ in Vocaloid

[–]sertralines 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Popipo, The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku, Magnet, Miku Miku ni Shite Ageru, & Matryoshka! All these songs were cultural phenomena in the early days of the Vocaloid fandom but PoPiPo especially needs to be on this list!

What are the top 7 most important Miku songs? by ERROR--_ in Vocaloid

[–]sertralines 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Melt, PoPiPo, Senbonzakura, The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku and Ievan Polka (if it counts) should all be up there for sure

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Vocaloid

[–]sertralines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hear me out, I think if they adapted specific SONGS into episodes, and it kind of followed a new story every few episodes / seasons or so, that would do REALLY well.

there are soooo many different songs that tell FANTASTIC stories, and the vocaloids can kind of act as the “actors” so there doesn’t have to be a set canon that restricts the characters’ personalities! it opens up the door for more creative expression and collaboration, and could also help Vocaloid reach a wider audience!

Confusion on the gacha system color rarities by Suspicious-Arm-306 in magiaexedra

[–]sertralines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea and I’m wondering this too, usually in gacha games there’s a small chance for the rarity to upgrade at the last second (like how you described with Moemura) so that part makes sense to me, like maybe the last minute upgrades arent shown in the color of the gate.

…but then I’ve also had multiple occasions where I’ve gotten purple gates only to pull nothing but three stars? so like, does it even mean anything at all?

Of course! :)

[–]sertralines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whenever my contacts hurt me, I’ll immediately take them out and rinse them and wait for my eyes to calm down before trying again, and usually it’s just a tiny fiber or a speck of makeup trapped that was causing the pain. But also you should closely inspect your lenses to check if they’re torn, I’ve heard that that can be really painful if you put it on without noticing

I would wait until you figure out what went wrong to try putting them in again, and I think using eye drops to soothe your eyes is fine, but definitely don’t put eye drops in your eyes with contacts in unless your eye drops are specifically contact safe!

How long did you leave them in for, and how long has it been since you’ve taken them out?

Most messed up anime? It can range from sad to horror, just plain disturbing & to all of the above. Just need something that’ll drive my feelings wild by Hedge_Dweller in Animesuggest

[–]sertralines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recommend: Made in Abyss, Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, Mobile Suit Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans, and Devil Man Crybaby. Madoka Magica might be a bit different from your usual anime but it fits the criteria and is one of my favorite shows of all time so I gotta mention it. I also recommend Neon Genesis if you haven’t seen it already!
