I feel like I've hit the lesbian Vocaloid song jackpot lately!

Hokorobi, by 40m. He hasn't put it up on his YouTube page yet and I can't figure out how to embed stuff from Nico Nico, so this is from some other person's YouTube account. Sadly, this one isn't subbed, though the one on Nico Nico is (link in the doobly doo). Pretty much all you need ( Read more... )

Project Diva (a Vocaloid video game) is coming out on the PS3, and I just ran across a gif from the opening sequence on Tumblr and proceeded to scour the internet until I found its source. I'M NOT SORRY.

I was never a big fan of this song - "Electric Angel" - but it's a classic Miku tune and they seem to play it at all the concerts. But OMFG THIS REMIX HAS SLAIN ME ( Read more... )

When you're a fan of something, you may think that simply being a fan doesn't contribute meaningfully to the world. You may feel like part of a faceless crowd, tiny and insignificant. You may think the creators of the work you love will never know or appreciate how happy it's made you ( Read more... )

I had the urge today to make a Post Full of Cool Things, so I hope you'll find some of them enjoyable :) This is a taste of the things I've been amusing myself with on the internets lately.

1. I started another blog! It's called Tea Under the Pine Boughs and it will be (most likely slowly) filled with articles I write about Victorians, pictures of ( Read more... )

HHNNNNG I can't even express how adorable I find this video. It's the opening of Project DIVA Extend, a Vocaloid video game. Movie-quality CG, VOICE ACTING OMFG, and my new favorite Miku song ever? THANK YOU, SEGA. For those of you playing along at home, the song is Cumulonimbus Graffiti - the one I posted a few weeks ago back in August (holy crap ( Read more... )

Oh my giddy aunt. Watch this video. It's television-quality (or better) traditional animation to the song Cumulonimbus Graffiti, written by (for those of you playing along at home) Dixie Flatline of Just Be Friends fame and produced by Ryo (supercell) of freaking everything Melt, World is Mine, Love is War, and Black Rock Shooter, to name a few. I ( Read more... )

Although my squee for Vocaloids knows no bounds, I often find it hard to explain it to people - even people already familiar with the video game/anime subculture. So I thought I would write a quick and dirty (perhaps, knowing me, not so quick) Fangirl's Guide to Vocaloids.

What is Vocaloid?Vocaloid is a voice synthesizer software developed by ( Read more... )

Thank you, SEGA! All the other clips of Mikunopolis on YouTube are bootleg footage that I suspect may be taken down at any moment, but SEGA put up what I assume must be an official compilation clip of the concert. It shows bits from a bunch of Miku's songs (no Rin, Len, or Luka, sadly) and quite a bit of the re-orchestrated Hajimete no Oto at the ( Read more... )

I'm back from my big Anime Expo adventure :3 First time traveling by myself, flying by myself, staying in a hotel by myself... and I didn't really run into any difficulties. Onnacounta how I are a grownup, I expect. I had a blast, and it was absolutely worth it, but it was an awful lot of doing crammed into very few hours XD ( Read more... )
