HSP ruined Plug Out.

Someone in the last thread said we should have better links for the OP, so I threw something together in a couple hours.

http://vocaloid.uni.me/

It's based on http://denpa.uni.me/

>>10957388
Agreed, how dare my favourite producer start to ruin his own masterpieces.

Nishijima uploaded the song he made for the Pi compilation along with a video. Every other song in the album is related to Pi structurally or lyrically too, so check it out if you can. The lossless version is even in the previous thread.

This was a about a week ago, but one of FuwaP's songs was selected for use for Oreimo's episode 7 ED. Full version was uploaded soon after.

What's the best non-Miku vocaloid album, I'm just not a fan of her voice range.

>>10959487
try KEMU VOXX

Any link for メカクシティレコーズ or should I wait some more?

>>10960151
I'm not finding anything right now, so I guess you should wait some more.

I came up with a little plan of action in case we ever decided to try that whole /jp/ UTAU thing again.

>>10959601

Now that you mention it, is there a link somewhere for Kemu's new album?

I found one but with all the tags messed up.

>>10960869
What about trying winamp's auto tag thing? It's been working pretty well so far for me.

Anything else along the lines of that album? I love Yuyoyuppe's work

>>10969304
This album is a lot better than I expected. There aren't any real new songs besides one, but all the compositions for the rest of songs have been changed enough that they sound new. Felt good listening to it after I was a little disappointed by the VOCAJAZZ Vol.3.

>>10969304

Come on guys, don't let the thread die.

Anybody getting burn-out by Vocaloid?

I'm sorry I've following the scene since 2008 and have more than 600 hand-picked songs but... meh maybe I'm just more depressed than ever :(

>>10986358
Well you have been listening same music for 6 years
I think it is normal

>>10986408
It's just that with Vocaloid it felt different... one would say that with so many producers, styles, voice banks, etc... it would remain fresh but lately (for me) the songs have become quite formulaic and stale with their themes, tuning, etc... there is nothing remarkable for me anymore to the point I've stopped looking for new songs... I just wish I wasn't feeling this way neither writing this...

Heck, I used to be quite active among the community as a moderator and fansuber but I´ve neglected both roles for very long....

Heck, I used to be quite active among the community as a moderator, fansuber and artist but I´ve neglected those roles for very long....

I remember having fond memories of Vocaloid, it helped me a lot with my depression, it inspired me to learn Japanese, among several other things, some months ago I was looking to learn piano just to be able to compose Vocaloid music someday... sigh

>>10986465
Most of the Vocaloids fans have switched to either lewd MMD videos or something else. Haven't you noticed the massive decrease of Miku's popularity?

>>10986465
Are you trying to find new songs through the rankings? That's a pretty bad way to do it since it's always pretty boring with the same kind of songs.

>>10986507
Not really, music was always my main concern.

>>10986642
Yeah, I stopped watching the Vocarank a long time ago. I mostly used r/Vocaloid and my YT subscriptions.


Btw, this is kind of interesting:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Vocaloid/comments/1eshjk/hey_rvocaloid_how_do_you_feel_about_vocaloid_now/

And

http://www.vocaloidotaku.net/index.php?/topic/41689-has-your-liking-of-vocaloid-ever-temporarily-died/

>>10986465
I'm sure you just need inspiration. Maybe take a break and explore some other music and come back.

I don't know though, that's just what I would do.

Why sasakure have .UK at the end ?
Is he from UK or something ?

>>10987522

he said in an interview that "it's a secret."

Does Vocaloid hip hop exist?
And if so, where can I find it?

>>10986465
>>10986358

I think what >>10986905 said could be right. Here's the thing:

when you feel burned out on something like that, one way to keep it fresh to you is to not expose yourself to that sort of thing for a while. For vocaloid music, try listening to other music for a while. Take a listen to some of the music that /mu/'s listening to. That's what I did. After a month or two of not listening to a vocaloid album or something, you'll possibly feel burned out from listening to the other music that you were listening to recently and with vocaloid music, you'll feel "fired up" about it now. It's like a big cycle. Just find things to fill the cycle. This is true for a lot of things in life. However, it's not a good idea to be fickle so quickly. Your interests in everything will wear off quickly as a result, killing off the cycle. It's also part of why people should continue to expand their horizons, I suppose.

But yeah, I would agree, though, that I do sometimes feel burned out from listening to vocaloid as well. However, even when I do feel burned out, I still haven't lost my faith. I just don't know about the people in the english side of the vocaloid community. VO is just as shitty as reddit. They all have to think the same way and conform or else they'll be rejected and ignored by the circlejerk there. Facebook groups are pretty boring, only posting pictures and talking about irrelevant things. One of the few cool Vocaloid groups I've met so far is Miku Monday's. I haven't been on there much because of jrharbort (I hate his guts so much), and that I've started to going to bed early now. I really wonder what kind of people are the japanese vocaloid fans are, though...Anyways, I would have to say that exploring the music from /mu/'s side of things has helped me understand what kind of music I'd love to make with Vocaloid. I also drew a lot of inspiration from other things, too, but it was thanks to /mu/ that I found that inspiration as well.

poster from >>10987770 here

comment was too long for me to finish up, but anyways, just because you feel burned out doesn't mean you shouldn't let go of your dreams if they are what you really want to accomplish. I believe that it just means you need to keep things fresh to you somehow. If you still want to be able to compose vocaloid music, then go for it. I feel the same way about Vocaloid as well. It helped me with my depression, helped me understand what I really want to do with my life (compose music), and that I met the love of my life...even though she lives on the other side of the country.

>>10987770

To be honest, I'm not sure how much the community matters, on either the English or Japanese side. What draws people in is good music and good art, and things build around that. Like the /jp/ music project, groups find ways to come together, do stuff, and go form there.

What the English vocaloids really need is more music, especially good tracks. Also, before Avanna, there wasn't really a 'good' English vocaloid, which really restricted what the musicians could create. (I haven't worked with GUMI much yet, but her English didn't sound too bad, she could audibly pronounce 'r' and 'l' for starters).

So, really, I wouldn't worry about the community too much. Places like VO, at least when I was there, are headed downward anyways, so as long as we can put out good stuff the community will get and get better.

>>10959003
Okay!

>>10987942

Aww yea, AVTechNO!

>>10987950
I love his music so much! Boku-boku and ・・・ソバニ are my favourites.

>>10987966

Indeed. AV is a major reason that I even like vocaloids. I wish he'd post some of his earlier stuff on iTunes as well, or give some other way to buy them that doesn't involve yen. I'm beginning to wonder if Apple isn't letting him sell everything, considering some of the crossfades have songs in them that aren't in the albums...

>>10987731
Does Showasen★Girl count?

>>10987950
>>10987966
>>10987995
AVTechno's my favorite Vocaloid producer as well, he's what got me into Vocaloid beyond the basic llevan polka (DixieFlatline is also one of my other firsts) and livetune songs, Zou+ is my favorite. He's good because makes music that would sound bad if performed by a human singer, which is what more producers should strive for.

He's been producing a lot less Vocaloid music lately it seems, is he going to stop entirely?

>>10987731
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm20973557
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5919610

>>10987731
nak-ami? He's not very active but he uploaded a lot of stuff in previous years. It's probably closer to breakbeat than traditional hip-hop too.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19684721

He released a free album for the 4th anniversary of the "わたしはミーム" series recently too. First 7 songs and link to the album in this video.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm20772969

I downloaded Endless Summer from Plus AD and have been enjoying it. Which Luka albums should I get that are similar to it?

>>10988274

I agree, I love zou+ and songs that can't be sung by humans. to me that is the whole point of vocaloid. unfortunately what i think was his latest album (6) was terrible.

>>10988478
AVTechNO is very hit and miss to me. Some of his songs I really love (such as Desire, Noiz are Nel, NEL and tear), others I just don't like.

>>10959003
Here's a quick selection of albums where I like a lot of songs on them as opposed to just one or two.

>>10987770

>>10987800

>>10987933


Thank you guys, I just followed you advice and spent some time in a late-90s nostalgia session (Garbage, Placebo, Radiohead, etc...), I think I will keep at it for a while, funny thing is that the stuff that Vocaloid inspired me to pursue are still extremely enjoyable: I review my Anki decks religiously, I'm almost done with Tae Kim GG and Rosetta Stone and I'm currently drawing a portrait of Marie from Persona 4, (pic related).

Anyway, I just tried 2 songs from my YT subscriptions and I liked them a lot.

Jewel:

Time Loop:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWK4nJhYquU

They re-kindled my interest enough to change the CSS of my site (Web Design was another thing that Vocaloid inspired me to learn) I will also update the playlist of my site and perhaps start a new translation later.

Maybe I'm a bit biased but I think reddit can be quite good for recommendations and stay up-to-date with related news, I agree about the FB groups though, it's a damn shame since with so many subscribers they could push the western scene so much more.

Anyway, thanks again for the advice and helping the scene :)

>>10988478

EXLIUM and Keyword were some of his recent songs that I enjoyed:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqcpLtrK0t4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W671EvSfhpg

But my all time favourites from him are 9, Fuyu no Sakura and Kimi no Sakura (Lily's Version)

>>10989247

speaking of exlium, I actually uploaded the full album on YT.

>>11008099
Get さつき が てんこもり albums. The easiest one to find is probably his major debut album, 「人畜無害~さつきがてんこもり」. Check out かめりあ too. I haven't paid attention to him until recently so I don't know if any of his solo albums are that good. He's got a bunch of songs on a lot of different compilations too.

Gumi is the best songwriter.

I really like this song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkmLbuG2Fxg

Anyone else getting Seisyun Vocalo? Love the Lily tracks on it. Wish there was a Lily solo album though... I'm so tired of Gumi.

I was searching for somethink like "ManMan Mite ChinChin OkkiOkki" from Camellia, anyone suggestion?

>>11014954

If you guys didn't know, QUADROPHENIA released slow on bandcamp a while ago. Not a lot of doujin music in general being distributed this way.

Hastag Lady by Love Lasts Forever
I've really taken a liking to him recently in terms of producers that do both vocaloid and solo/self cover stuff

UtsuP is releasing an official bootleg compilation of "self-covers" (セルフカバー) comprising of his first two (now sold out) releases, DOLL EP and DIARRHEA, at VM25 (July 7th).

August 7th, UtsuP will be releasing his first nation-wide distributed album 悪巫山戯 (Warufuzake "Practical Joke"), featuring both old and new songs, Miku only.

More info:

Personally glad that he's finally getting some support.

>>11026491
i haven't been following this thread, or vocaloid in general, but i fucking love that guy. MOKSHA and Psychodrama are the best.

>>11026491
Looking at the tracklist again, I may be mistaken about the album being Miku only.

The more Japanese I learn, the more I blush when making out something from Deadball-Ps songs...

>>10959003
Incredibly eclectic collection here, but that's just my music taste...

Also, just choosing nine was harder than I thought. Wish I could've fit Best Days of Kasane Teto in there somehow because wow what a great album.

>>11028639
Where did you get the Miko album top right? I've been wanting that but no rip surfaced I could find.

>>11028639
Tell me about top-right and center, if you don't mind.

So the Project Diva f demo on PSN is out, for PS3.
I already have the JP copy, so I tried it out anyways, and I can understand the menus now! The weird thing is the lyrics in romanji, not just in english and I doubt there's an option to change it.
Also, in World's End Ballroom(Dancehall? I forgot) they change the opening words slightly to make more sense.

>>11033834
Top right is a Miko compilation album. Dunno where you would get it. The top center is an album by FALL. I know doujincore ripped it a long time ago, so if you find a rip it could possibly be a transcode of that.

>>11034530

>>11035226
Yeah they're still in english, but DYE is still mostly (bad) english as it has always been.

>>11029836
La Princess Pomme? Yeah, I actually bought it from alicebooks, and the shipping is every bit as ridiculous as was mentioned earlier. I guess I could rip and upload it if you guys wanted.

Oh, but I can't scan the lyrics pages because I don't have access to a working scanner. They're not in a booklet, they're on individual cards, which would actually make them super easy to scan if I could...

>>11036732

would you mind? I don't mind the scans for the lyrics, just the mp3's.

>>11036783
Nah, I don't mind. Actually I already have it ripped for myself, if you don't mind 320 kbps. If you want something better, let me know.

>>11036853
That's perfect, thanks in advance if you could upload anon.

>>11036716
DYE is actually very good English for a non-native speaker, in terms of the lyrics. Best I've seen in a Vocaloid song.
