/massive GUMI songs download binge

[hellzabeth]

Ahhh finally I found a Vocaloid with my voice range...

Though it seems that since she's new she doesn't have very many quality songs. Not sure I like the ones like 16 Bit Warz, but her cover of Romeo and Cinderella made me squee a little. The programmer got it spot on, perfect pitch.

But it seems like she's hard to handle; it's pretty hit or miss

Uh so... I've been confused for awhile now, and Wikipedia's not that helpful.

Would you like to explain to this loser what Vocaloid is?

Prepare for incoming 2am rambling...

[hellzabeth]

Lol, it's no problem.

Vocaloid is a program, if we get to the basics of it. It generates voices, singing voices to be precise. Each voice has it's own name, character design, and (by this point) established fanon-character. I've never seen a fandom run on so much fanon.

People download and use the program, choosing the character/singer they want. Each character has a distinct voice. You can go from low singers like Gakupo to intensely high falsettos like the twins, Len and Rin or Miku. There's a whole lot in between, such as Luka, who has a mid-range/deep but still girly voice, or Kaito, who has a higher voice but still sounds like a dude

And here I thought Hetalia had to be the most unique fandom...

[poisonedhotcake]

That's... interesting.

Hmm.

So, wait. Do the people using the program make the songs or just listen to them and interpret?

Hahah Hetalia and Vocaloid are two different kinds of special.

[hellzabeth]

People using the program make the songs, and then upload them to Nico Nico or Youtube or whatever, and other people listen to them.

I have to admit Vocaloid always confused me as well, which is why I never got into it orz. Though I've browsed the pretty pictures on pixiv, and then proceeded to get even more confused because idek, that's what I get for reading Wiki first I think. XD

Don't be shy bb! Throw yourself in there. \o/ I'm sure there's a Vocaloid friending-meme or something. This is LJ after all.

I want to find a Professor Layton I nearly wrote "Kirkland" fml friending meme or something myself~ XD

[hellzabeth]

It's better not to think too hard on it. XD It's a confusing, contradicting fandom. I'm just in it for the pretty songs and PVs.

I-I don't even know where to start. I'm part of the Vocaloid comm but they never really post anything but icons and the chart list of the week. orz;;; I could make a friending meme myself but I'M STILL TOO SHY.

Try looking up the LJ comm? If there is one, idk, I haven't looked.

[candelaria]

It boggles the mind. I think I'll continue looking on in complete 8D-faced confusion no matter what happens, even if I already recognize half the characters lmao.

If you type in "Vocaloid friending meme" in the LJ search bar, there was one about 3 weeks ago apparently. You should check it out, the LJ search bar has everything. XD

There is actually: professorlayton /o/ Pretty epic.

[hellzabeth]

I'm often quite tentative when trying new Vocaloids, but Gumi seems quite good, I think.

We can lurk together! In the shadows~

[meg_inatree]

Vocaloidddddddddsssss.

Though admitedly I'm more of a Luka fangirl XD Buuuut, I'm willing to give Gumi a go, she looks cute.

[hellzabeth]

Yeeeeeessssss

Luka's my second favourite, after Gumi. I love all the songs she gets to sing, Double Lariat got stuck in my head all of yesterday and there was an entire week where Just Be Friends went round and round my brain...

[alianorethecat]

sosolate

That's the one that gets stuck in my head too. Oh, Luka, so pretty and with super ear worm worthy songs. -sigh-
