Tochiro Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Images have been posted of a 10m tall Hatsune Miku hologram that was used at a concert in Yokohama. ...we are getting scarily close to being able to do a Sharon Apple concert here...^^; (scroll down the link below for pics) http://blog.livedoor.jp/goldennews/archives/51736802.html Quote
Benson13 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 That looks pretty cool. I think Slipknot should look into that stuff. Quote
Hikuro Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 waiiiiiiiiiiit.........did ppl actually pay to see that? Or am I really just that heartless about Vocaloid? Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Miku...the waaaaaaay more popular daughter of Sharon Apple. Quote
Tochiro Posted August 30, 2012 Author Posted August 30, 2012 waiiiiiiiiiiit.........did ppl actually pay to see that? Or am I really just that heartless about Vocaloid? Sure they did. Just like they paid to see this one: Or even in the US to see this one: Quote
antibiotictab Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Looks "Thanks Giving Day" style Miku-san, not Mikupa one. I heard this event was the promotion of Project Diva-f. 5pb didn't touch this event and SEGA led this one, right? Many fans say SEGA is superior to 5pb in Miku-san's concerts, but many effects in this movie. I have a BD of 2010's concert by SEGA, almost no effects. After Mikupa by 5pb, the effects increased. They have some influence on each other. waiiiiiiiiiiit.........did ppl actually pay to see that? Or am I really just that heartless about Vocaloid? I went to Toho cinemas Roppongi to watch the live viewing of Mar 9th's concert this year. Even in the movie theater, many audience were cheering holding glow sticks.

ErikElvis Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Im pretty open to, uhhhhh, things that are different but that just seems weird. Quote
Zor Primus Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Thats really cool! Thanks for sharing! Quote
xrentonx Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Looks cool (would look cooler with less animu) but Jesus that music is terrible and those corny glowsticks do not help...not for me at all Edited August 31, 2012 by xrentonx Quote
antibiotictab Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Don't acting like Eve Tokimatsuri... Eve is like Aimi Eguchi from AKB48 rather than Miku-san. She is a virtual character, but never revealed about it first. She was introduced like a real human. And never performed in front of the audience because she is just a computer-generated figure. On the other hand, Miku-san is apparently known as a virtual character based on the Vocaloid software. But she performs on the stage. And change the figure instantly. When Sharon appeared in the movie first, only a server thing was on the screen. Sharon is also a well-known computer-generated thing like Miku-san. I call her "Miku-san" because without saying like that, many fans get mad saying "san wo tsukeroyo, dekosuke yaro." You know what they mean. lol Edited August 31, 2012 by antibiotictab Quote
Saruta Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Moving from SCOOPUDA re GUMI - Ranka's voice Vocaloid - and English. V3 is, as it seems to me, apparently better at English - the V2 English ones (Sonika etc, as well as the bilingual Luka) were somewhat unnatural while some V3 songs (Oliver etc) are good. And English Vocaloid use is rising. Also, the Japanese Vocaloids have acquired a foreign following who want, speicfically, these voices. The big hit could be an English Miku but she is repeatedly delayed, probably because they can't make her sound any good. While GUMI *is* good. And in case of GUMI there are, probably, also the Macross Frontier fans who want GUMI because of Ranka. (I wonder why Internet Co did not make a May'n Vocaloid too). P.S. Regarding the terrible music. Vocaloid "producers" (anyone can be one by acquiring a Vocaloid) make all sorts of music. A very wide range exists. Then the concert organizers select the stuff to play. If the concert music seems horrible to you,. that means your taste is radically different from that of the organizers. Edited June 4, 2013 by Saruta Quote
xrentonx Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 That's pretty much understood (goes without saying). I forgot what this thread was about. I was excited about Sharon Apple and everything Quote
Keith Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 This thread is now about my infinite jealousy of the Japanese getting Sheryl and Ranka living in their phones! Quote
antibiotictab Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) I wonder if the software is sold well outside of Japan. So skeptical. There are many songs made from Vocaloids, but many of them were made by Japanese fans, because of the DTM, Desk Top Music culture has been deeply taken roots here in Japan. They have been used to the MIDI, Musical Instrument Digital Interface, so they could accept the Vocaloids easily. I don't know about the amateur musicians outside of Japan, but many of those in Japan bought the Synthesizers and DTM software and used them, rather than guitars and drums. To use the Vocaloids is too difficult for beginners, so Yowane Haku was born. http://vocaloid.wikia.com/wiki/Yowane_Haku If you thought of Vocaloids as "character items" or some sort, I could never recommend it.

Saruta Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 There are some people in the West who can do DTM too. Here is a thread on the VocaloidOtaku.net forum with a list of "overseas producers". http://www.vocaloidotaku.net/index.php?/topic/20291-overseas-producers/ For some reason it does not list one of my favourites, MsConstantine-P (and she got the -P on Nico from someone in Japan apparently) http://www.youtube.com/user/MsConstantine91 (see "Vocaloid original" list) Unfortunately she does not seem to have GUMI yet.

antibiotictab Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 I didn't say "no one in the western countries." I actually like AlexTrip Sands' works. So nostalgic... Quote
Tochiro Posted June 26, 2013 Author Posted June 26, 2013 Well, this should make Saruta happy I guess. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2013-06-25/hatsune-miku-project-mirai-2-also-stars-megpoid-gumi Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 When I first heard of Hatsune Miku it freaked me out a little. Now when I see all the YT clips it freaks me out all the time. Quote
