~English/Spanish Linkdump

[zarla]

Hi! I really love the English Vocaloids (and the Spanish ones as well), but songs by them can be hard to find or easy to overlook. So I thought I'd post a linkdump of stuff I've found that I like so far! There tend to be a lot of covers from the English/Spanish side of things, but there are original songs out there too if you look, haha

This is a staggering post and I've had Secret Space looping at work for the past half an hour, it's the perfect track to chillout to while coding away. Fantastic work on the whole thing.

I'm still really pleased with Clara and Bruno, they're easily some of my favorite new vocaloids of recent times, and it kind of bugs me that I don't have the time nor know the starting points to find good tracks for them or really for any of the Engloids. I know there's a couple of people who try to make Youtube versions of the vocaran - do you use those, or just go tag-diving and hunt that way?

Haha thanks, it took a little while to put together.

I really love Clara and Bruno! I do hope people make some more originals for them, although some of their covers are still pretty cool. I'd keep an eye on CYO Style at least.
Let's see... I follow some devart groups for the English vocaloids (engloids and engloid-fans), and sometimes producers will upload cover art or announcements for new songs they're doing there. I watch Puffihn and Giuseppe in general. Sometimes I'll wander around the vocaloidotaku subforums for them and rummage through what's posted, and then sometimes linkhop from related videos from there if I'm bored. If I get REALLY bored I'll go through the songlists at the Vocaloid wiki, like this one for Lola though I haven't done that in a while. I don't really have a set method or anything, I just sort of stumble on them, haha

Thanks for the links! I've always kind of wondered, my mental map of where to find them is completely blank.

Yeah, I stumbled across a Youtube vocaran a while back. I think it had its own thread on V-O, but it linked to a very slow loading site that tried to load all 30 videos on one page, so I said 'well I must keep an eye on that when things are faster' and promptly forgot about it. I don't honestly know what metrics they were using, but I guess you could combine views, likes, dislikes, and number of comments. You're right, though, it really does highlight how all over the place YT's tags are.

Haha no problem! There are so few producers, I want to try and get them as much attention as they can get. :B

Dang :O Haha yeah I can see how that could slow things down a lot. Although now that I've thought about it it seems intriguingly possible, depending on how thorough I wanted to be. LIKE I NEED MORE WORTHLESS PROJECTS TO TAKE UP MY TIME
I might try and do a one month ranking just to see if it can be done idk.

I would like to add Everfree by AK14K1 to that list. The best original Oliver song I've heard so far.

[zarla]

Haha oh dang no kidding, those are some driving beats right there. :D

[hilohello]

1913 and I Won't Let You Cry are both pretty good Oliver originals that aren't too mumbly and are actually pretty understandable.

[zarla]

Oh thanks, I'll check em out! :D

[vixielamenta]

Oh yay! What a great post! ♥

[zarla]

:D I'm glad you liked it, haha.

Love me some Engloids! It's so nice to hear people making real effort with them. And the Spanish vocaloids oh mah gaaawwwddd

[zarla]

I'm glad other people like them! 8D I actually found some new stuff since this post, haha. Maybe I'll make a follow-up once I have enough.
