Vocaloid Thread

Those lyrics reeeeally need a touchup.

I'm sorry, more Meiko...and more Frozen! But she just sounds so cute when she laughs.

And how she says "sandwiches".

Hopefully, that pairing doesn't end up the way the movie ended it.

In other news, Miku's gone medical.

Haha, I love that. "Hatsune Miku will protect your eyes from the dangers of staring at her for too long."

I thought they would come out with Miku glasses that would lower the blue tint from screens. But eh, Japan has different priorities...

Also, if Meiko was Anna, Kaito was Hans, and Miku was Elsa...

Then would Gakupo be Kristoff? Because Len's too young and there aren't many guy Vocaloids. Maybe Leon...

Well that's just wrong and way you slice it. Meiko's older than Miku and she has Elsa's deeper voice, even if she doesn't have the right theme color. Or Miku's popularity.

...Miku should have put on a better dress in that video.

If you're going by age, voice and maybe fanon personality Meiko would be Elsa and Miku would be Anna

Maybe the Kagamines would be Olaf?

Miku's got the young perky optimism that people usually script her with.

Though Luka might be a better Elsa. She's distant, aloof, has long hair, even if her voice isn't so much like Idina's.

Both of the twins as Olaf is kind of far though...but maybe.

At first I thought Luka for Elsa, but Idina's voice is a powerhouse and Luka's is quite the opposite. Deep IA maybeee, she does have the right hair colour, and I heard a great cover of Let it Go with her. Maika might not be a bad choice, too, or Yanhe.

Haha, I've no idea who I'd pick for Anna, though.

This is a bit of a surprise. The international version of PD F 2nd will have translated subtitles for the songs:

Oh my goodness, I WANT!

For the big deal they make of them, you'd think the subtitles would be bigger.

But, that's still pretty useful.

That's actually pretty useless unless you're watching the game on youtube or something.

It's a rhythm game; you're gonna be looking at all the different prompts, not the subtitles.

Okay, so you know ALYS, who was going to be the first French Vocaloid? Well, unfortunately negotiations with Yahama failed. However, they chose a new route, now they're collaborating with the makers of Cevio to make ALYS a Cevio bank. She'll be able to talk, and will be freeware.

Oh, if you're not familiar with Cevio, it sounds like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEWfok0XU6g

On the downside, it has less editing capabilities than Vocaloid, and stronger engine noise. However, on the upside, it is cheaper, and some people even say they think it sounds smoother and more natural than Vocaloid. So I guess it all depends on whether you like the software.

Hm, I'm liking that song.

Well Vocaloid's usually the smoothest but sometimes the sound runs together...UTAU often sounds pretty tinny, but more distinct, I think.

CeVIO sounds somewhere in between. Smooth and metallic, but lighter...though that just may be her.

Oh well. ALYS may not get as much recognition without being a Vocaloid, but if she's any good, maybe she could help popularize this other software.

Also, here was the video for Rainbow Colors.

It's so livetune.

@d1zzyzebra: Huh. Haven't heard of CeVIO before. Wonder why it's not as common as Vocaloid or UTAU.

Vocaloid's popular based on its quality (and its marketing) and UTAU's popular based on its freeness and its personalization.

Just looked it up. Sounds like CeVIO is also used for signage, and the vocal functions are meant to be used for that purpose.

Also, found an interesting interview of a CFM employee by a prominent Vocaloid news blog. Mentions how the Gaga deal came about.

Talks mostly about warming America up to Miku.

They may have to keep tweaking her English voice to make it more palatable to the western ear.

I also hope that Luka and the Kagamines get up to Vocaloid 3. There's something satisfying about having all the singers of one company on the same engine.

I predict in the near future Miku will be the Skrillex of Vocaloid, as in the casual observer will either think she was the first vocaloid ever made, or that she's the only vocaloid. And actual Vocaloid fans will be pissed.

Luka and the Kagamines would be A Good Name for a Rock Band.

Three words: V3 Luka English.

It's why they should introduce her with the other Vocaloids!

Or at least the ones from Crypton. The Kagamines are the cute twins, Luka's the elegant aloof one, Kaito's the lovable male and Meiko is the sexy Team Mom.

...or, introduce her with some of the other companies. IA's got the popularity now.

Luka English would be incredibly redundant.

In other news:

So this is a thing.

Woo hoo. My state comes right in the middle of those...

What's the news on Vocaloid coming to midwestdle America? ;p

Nonexistent.

Pity.

Miku gets all the best videos, it isn't fair.

Tagalog...strange.
