New thread already? We're going fast!

>>16910768
aaaaaaand thread ruined.
So fast.

>>16910772
I think we can live with one pic. Vocaloid is supported by the rabid character love anyways.

>>16910782
It's not the pic that is the issue. It's when a bunch of lukafags come in and do nonsensical circlejerking that adds nothing to the thread.

>>16909920
No one includes the damn guide for mass tagging, but at least we have a direct link to the Mikudb discord.

I feel bad for that anon, putting in all that work.

Breakdown breakdown!

lost my shit at the comments mid-way

>>16910845
How do you change the comment language to JP in the new video player?

>>16910868
See the little EN in the bottom right? Change that to moon.

>>16910925
How do you even change language?
The bottom menus are gone.

>>16910966
Maybe it's a feature that isn't added yet. I had to go back to the Flash player in order to see the EN button.

>>16910978
The option seems to be gone, regardless of player. Though I'm already set to JP.

>>16910839
Yeah... Well, linking it here for future reference: https://pastebin.com/T893zqg8

>>16910797

>>16911014
It's a good thing. Watching Rin-Chan Now just isn't the same without JP comments.

>>16910966
That's so werid, I still have it in the standard format.

>>16910797
Just wait until we discuss how Luka and Meiko are wrestling over who gets to force themselves upon Miku, who sits naked and confused.

That's when the real fun starts.

LamazeP streaming now.

live.nicovideo.jp watch/lv296515364

>>16911119
By the way what the fuck does he talk about while streaming, does anyone know? Sometimes he sits around and talks for 5 to 6 hours. I don't know about what.

>>16911126
That really depends on what the chat is asking him.

Sometimes there's this portugese guy, I guess, that memes really hard about the west.
Sometimes it's anime, other times it's manga, eromanga or vocaloids.

>>16911126
It's not really worth watching unless you can somehow participate in chat with memes, better to wait until he either composes or draws, at least something entertaining is happening then.

>>16911155
Yeah I realized. It's just that everytime i'm there he's talking, and everytime I leave it seems he starts drawing or composing. It's sad because I can't just watch the streams after they end. I really want to see him compose something.

>>16911165
He usually clarifies what is going to happen in the video title, either "composing with mikutan" or "drawing with mikutan", if neither are present you can be certain he's just going to talk for a couple of hours.

What does floorplan mean then?

>>16911119
Whenever I watch him stream I get so upset and jealous I start feeling drunk, but it's not pleasant.

I wish I could speak nippon.

Here's an artist I really like, hano. Anyone here on /jp/ ever heard of them? They make great EDM Miku tracks, I recommend checking them out.

Are you using any script blockers or anything?
Because I still have them at the bottom.

>>16911538
Really enjoy beyond the sky. Thanks. This guy is great.

The accommodation plans went way faster than I thought. Admittedly, I sort of forget about it, but I started trying to fill out applications at about 1:00jst and everything was already full. That's pretty depressing. I guess all there is to do now is pray on that lottery ticket.

>>16912645
I was there the moment they went up. The page crashed on me twice trying to enter my name and other info and by the third time, all the twin rooms were gone.

>>16912645
>>16912734
You're fighting against the Japanese as well, who probably got most of them.

I couldn't be bothered, I'll hope for the best in the lottery and prepare for the worst.

>>16912394
Only Adblock.

Did anyone manage to fill out an accommodation form?

>>16912796

I was there at fist time but i live in a shitty country and my credit card requested that i call the bank to inform that i wished to get a ticket in Japan and then in the bank they told me that i have to wait at least 48 hours.

Goodbye accommodation by then.

>>16913092
Oh wow that sucks. South America?

>>16913106
Yeah. I've been saving for 3 years to get there and this happens.

Worst part of it all is that i buy staff from Japan all the time and i never had any problem at all.

>>16913113
Are you that brazilian in Lamaze's chat?

This concert is not super important to me, so I only applied for the lottery, but had I known, I would've been willing to put out the money for two tickets and fight the nippons for a twin/dual room.

Best of luck to you in the lottery anon, best of luck to all of us.

Here's a super old, really obscure song that I love. Let me know what you guys think.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm10955891

Title translates to something like
"Beyond the End of the Sky"
or
"Beyond the Night Sky"
or something like that.

>Are you that brazilian in Lamaze's chat?
No, I'm form Argentina

>Best of luck to you in the lottery anon, best of luck to all of us.

Yes i applied to all three nights, I'm wondering if i should try and apply for a day ticket too

>>16913269
I applied for all of them, I can always sell the rest if I'm so catastrophically lucky to win more than one.

>>16913223
It's pretty cute, has that old anime-esque feel of early vocaloid rock.

>>16913276
For selling them, should i chose phone ticket or paper?

>>16913282
Yeah, I like it but it's grown old on me.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm16597510

An old remix of a PowaP song.
And another:

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15523227

>>16913288
Both can be sold. E-tickets are sent to you via email, just give it to someone else.

Nico [Embed] could certainly help in this (and the previous) thread.

Fuck I was so busy yesterday I forgot to check when accomodation plans starts and now everything is already sold. But I have to go to japan anyway at the time and now I can only use the lottery. I guess I will apply for every single concert.

Someone please kill me.

>>16913339
Do you need a hug anon? I sure could use one.

>>16913455
Yes, I'm hugging Miku right now and hope she will forgive being such a failure who failed to remember about accommodation.

>>16913487
How could you hug Miku? She's here in Japan with me.

>>16913505
Weird, she is laying on my bed right now.

>>16913521
>>16913505
In before someone posts a Miku onahole

>>16913487
There's still the lottery and if not, there's always next year.

Miku will miku you some day.

>>16913600
Yeah, I've applied to all lotteries to all days.
But there is no next year, I'll have to go to Japan no matter if I win or not, and I don't know if I'll have enough money to go next year.

I don't understand. Just wait for Miku Expo to come to burgerclap again.

>>16913631
Not everyone lives in USA.

>>16913631
We all want to experience Miku's 10th anniversary.

I can't believe there isn't some sort of watch list or notify-me if someone were to cancel or otherwise be unable to show up. Like, it's baffling.

Since we're posting songs, anyone want to rec some metal with growled vocals, if they exist? I'm still very new to this.

Preferably male loids pls no bully but I'll listen to the females too.

>>16913675
Apparently someone made vocaloid versions of song by The Stalin and other 1980s Metal Japanese songs.

>>16913675
Well there's always utsu-p which is the closest you can get to making a robot growl

>>16913705
>>16913725
Thanks, I'll look into those.

It looks like there is still some rooms available for plan E, but:
>・Insufficient inventory for Sunday, 3 September, Night-time Concert [JPY9,000] selected for customer 1. Application cannot be made.
What does this mean? Did they ran out of tickets?

>>16913745
That's my guess.

>>16913745
Pretty much what it says, There's still rooms available but there are no more tickets.

>>16913675
Well, the only male loid people really use is Len, and his voice is not usually suited to metal (although there's probably *something* out there)... So I think >>16913725 is pretty much it

>>16913675
This song got posted a couple days which is kind of close, maybe:
nicovideo.jp/watch/sm31067770

>>16913612
Did you get a confirmation email after you applied to the lotteries?

>>16913920
No. Did you?

Also how can day charge card automatically if I didn't specified CW2?

>>16913600
I think this one is going to be more special because it's the tenth anniversary. It might be no better than last year and next year might be better, but I think a lot of people feel like, if I can only go once, this is the one to go to.

>>16913920
>>16913978
I got one confirmation email for my first application, but not the others. This inconsistency in emails is pretty disconcerting.

>>16913978
No, not a single one.

>>16913983
Disconcerting? It's completely demoralizing, how do I know it even went through the process properly. What if someone wins and doesn't get the email.

>>16913983
I also think I've made a mistake in my first application and set birthday to 2015. If only the first application matters then I'm fucked.

Ah, it bothers me so much. The lottery is executed so bad in comparison to accommodation.

>>16914025
I forgot to put dashes in the phone number and card number cells for 3 of the applications.

This might not be a big issue, to begin with I don't really see the reasoning for doing so, but after getting not a single confirmation email I fear what else they could fuck up.

I can't handle it, this is too stressful

>>16914056
I didn't used dashes in phone number as well, but I did in card number.
Still they should send email if the application was rejected.

>>16914065
Same, man.

>>16914068
>Still they should send email if the application was rejected
They should also send emails if the application was confirmed, yet here I am, sitting in this greyzone where I don't know if my applications are verified.

God damn I hate using Japanese websites.

>>16914118
Japan is simultaneously the most technologically advanced and technologically retarded country. It's ridiculous

>>16914025
>The lottery is executed so bad in comparison to accommodation
The accommodation site also has actual restrictions
I bet you could type in any string of random sentences to the lottery and it'd still be accepted

New song from lulu
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm31078565
Slow to start, as usual, but a chill groove once it kicks in.

>>16916119
Great song! lulu's songs are always immediately recognizable, and yet they all sound different from each other. That's a rare quality.

>>16916175
I know, right? His tuning of Len is so distinct. Very deep and clear.

>>16916196
Exactly! Also, Len Power is pretty much the only voicebank everyone uses these days, so it's really refreshing to hear a producer giving Len's other Appends a chance to shine.

>>16916295
Is it bad that I still kind of prefer his regular Act 2 voicebank? Or a good tuning of it, at least. His "better", smoother voicebanks have less of a mechanical charm. He isn't supposed to sound like a super realistic voice.

>>16916320
Just a matter of taste I guess. I tend to prefer the more "realistic" vocaloids and basically couldn't listen to Len's first two voicebanks, it sounded too "unintentionally robotic" and the pronunciation was bad enough to take me out of the song, most of the time.

His Append and V4 can be tuned in a robotic manner as well however, and IMO I prefer the way it sounds over the regular V2 (same goes for Rin, actually):

Crypton is still a small company, having to travel all over for western tours really put a number on them

So, after a while of being a poorfag and a piratefag I've decided to start supporting my favourite artists by buying real albums and, of course, I've started for the one album everyone should have, even if it's only for historical reasons (I prefer other artists but I consider this is a must have in a VOCALOID collection).

What I want to ask is: this is the start of a madness of a slippery slope, right? I've been adding albums to my wishlist for two days now...

>>16919015
>giving money to someone who already sold out and is rich as fuck

>>16919043
But... my collection...

>>16919015
Dude. I did this. My song playlist is small, so I only ended up spending maybe $400, but you are correct. It is a slippery slope. I then ended up buying all my edm albums too for over $2000. I'm just lucky I am an engineer.

>>16919006
You just crushed my dreams of seeing Miku again anon ;_;

Fuck, I'm still hoping they do more Miku Expos. I still have a bit of faith, since it's sort of become a tradition.

If any of you guys are intrested: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dFWB4q-VaHc
pls don't bully the IA ;_;

>>16919006
>he actually believes the shit MikuFan writes about CFM losing money

I wouldn't say they're making bank but they probably break even or make a little bit of profit.

>>16919800
So there's still hope for more Mikuexpos?

>tfw you will never have a yandere, a dictator, a zombie or Nobunaga reincarnated in a little girl as a girlfriend

>>16919015
>this is the start of a madness of a slippery slope, right
Last year I had no albums nor a desire to buy one. It only took me a few months to go from "well, just the one album", to "maybe just a couple of favorites", to pic related. I've already got a few more coming, and I can't see myself stopping buying this stuff anytime soon...

>current year
>buying music
Are you using tape reel computers as well?

>>16920373
As soon as vocaloids start making their own music, I'll stop buying.

Meanwhile, I'll continue supporting my favorite artists that work in this niche indie genre that will never get them much recognition or money, because I appreciate the music.

>>16920373
i buy cassettes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUWa5PMnX5w

>>16920373
I want to repay LamazeP for introducing me to the girl I'll spend rest of my life with.

>>16920438
Would buy that, because of reasons.

>>16920450
My God. CDs / BDs when?

>>16920437
I hear the railway might be making its way through your area soon, exciting times ahead in this modern age.

>>16920454
Who? Which one?

The cutest girl in the world.

Oh I thought it was that other bluehead Lamaze really likes.

>>16919015
>this is the start of a madness of a slippery slope, right?
yes

>>16920592
Which one? Besides Miku, of course

That's so sad. They're incredibly respectful about it, though, and I understand their reasoning.
Incredibly disappointed in English speakers who reused their translations without credit.
I wonder if they'll still be putting subs on Nico videos.

>>16921132
Yup, it sucks. Minaru was also kind of a dick to not even try to understand what they do and why they do it. Oh well, not much we can do about it.

>>16921132

Why do Kagamine fags always ruin stuff for everyone?

>>16911032
>>16910839
That looks unnecessarily complicated. Why not use Mp3tag with the VocaDB api?

This is the script I use: https://mega.nz/#!wjAglJTa!7C5VK1qw8Hnn5qQySvFBOi6WTugSCyVogjs_M7-IMz0

Takes less than a minute to tag an album (grabs the cover art, as well). Also you can run custom actions afterwards to, say, remove " (Unknown)" in vocaloid names.

Keep posting good artists anons. Here's a producer I like, his name is Keisei. Great electronic track with Miku:

The fact that a 2018 tour hasn't been announced yet isn't a good sign, though. Plus, they didn't even bother making a 2016 DVD release or anything, so I don't think they care about foreign audiences as much as they act like they do.

I've noticed that Miku sounds different in Miku x KODO. Like... more real, I guess? Who is behind this sorcery? MitchieM, as always?

Here, I've cut the song for you: https://youtu.be/w7zNY0DwKdY

>>16924955
No.

>>16924878
Stop being such an old woman. They're celebrating her 10th anniversary, they're renting out places left and right and we're most likely not done with announcements yet. Give them a fucking break.

Also, this is the most intense rendition of The Intense Voice of Hatsune Miku I've ever seen. I get goosebumps every time.

https://youtu.be/E-k4lJ7rlNo

>>16924961
How do you know? He was commissioned to redo all the vocals in Miku Symphony, even for the songs that were not originally from him, like Starduster. And he is doing the same for the Miku Symphony 2017.

>>16909920
Be real with me /jp/, why are you sitting on this thread right now instead of producing music.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cVIStygGX40

>>16924991
Well he did a shitty job considering Starduster sounds exactly the same, yet the intro song has his distinct Miku tuning.

You're welcome to believe whatever you want, but it's not Mitchie.

>>16925007
Songwriting is hard and I'm bad at it.

>>16925007
Because otherwise you'd have no questions to ask.

>>16924985

Have you ever read the lyrics to a Vocaloid song? It's not like any of them are Ivor Novello winning material.

One of the most famous Vocaloid songs are literally about a girl choosing her favourite juice to a repeated beat, amongst other nonsense.

HNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

This is so cool and cute at the same time.

>>16924969
I don't know why, but I feel like they're going to announce Mikuexpo 2018 on her anniversary (aug 31)

When people talk about "songwriting", they're not referring to the lyrics...

>>16925463
>>16925502
all welcome especially that i haven't seen this rip posted anywhere yet. you'd expect mikudb to have a brand new Exit Tunes compilation right? nope.

who the hell is running mikudb? that site loads like dogshit, nothing is functional, you have to type in the login url yourself just to log in, nobody can post, nobody can submit albums, and there are way too many nonsensical features polluting the DOM. chatrooms on every page load? is this 2004? anti-adblock nags? what, you need ad revenue to keep the server costs down? do you think there might be a reason for that? like, i don't know, the average _SINGLE_ page load costing you NINETEEN MEGABYTES of bandwidth? is all that flashy javascript crap really worth it?

does a site like this really deserve to have the monopoly on Vocaloid sharing? hear me out i respect all the people whom run vocadb in all its past iterations, except for this one. they've gotta step up their webdev game something serious. seriously all you need is an album photo and a damn download link.

>>16925524
"Songwriting" consists of both composing the music and writing lyrics.

It doesn't really matter what you refer to when you use the word incorrectly.

>>16925561
They are developing a new website, in case you don't know about it, that's why people can't submit albums.

>>16925580
if it doesn't run in pure HTML5 i will not be impressed.

seriously, mikudb can't keep dying. it will not bode well for vocaloid.

>>16925561
I love it when a pirate site asks me to turn off adblock. The double standard is laughable at best.

>>16925616
Oh no, the mexican pirate site is complete and utter shite and the thirty something pirates frequenting can't get their music for free! It's pretty much the end of vocaloid at this point.

Kiss your Mikus and pet your Yukaris for it's all going into a swandive.

>>16925682
>pet your Yukaris
Gross. I bet she can't afford to have a daily shower, much less to use any kind of shampoo.

>>16925773
I want to give Yukari my money, then take it back and say, "IA deserves it more".

>>16925773
Jokes on you, I just use the ashes that remains after roasting a sewer fish to clean my hair. Romans did it thousand of years ago and they were totally fine!

>>16925917
O, the veil that preserves our sanity is thin indeed. Much like a parlour magician who, deep down, knows his tricks are fake, Yukari tries to carry on.
Miku, whatever you do, don't point out the hole in the veil.

>>16925773
Yukari fought the poverty, and the poverty won.

>>16925917
>roasting a sewer fish
>to clean my hair
I mean, who wouldn't want to scorch and consume other's pets and shower yourself with the ashes.

>>16920450
Is this anywhere else? It's already down.

>>16925149
Pinocchio's are pretty good, but he is the exception to the rule, I agree. It's just that being so bad at it bothers me. Having to learn composition, a DAW, mixing, etc. makes it so much worse. I have a lot of respect for Vocalo-Ps who run the whole shop.

>>16925917
That was not a sewer fish, it was my dinner!

Yukaariiii!

>>16926273
I'm not sure where you're from or how the schools work in your country, but musical education is a mandatory part of the curriculum in my country. From early school through college, and it's not so bad.
Everything you have to learn about music theory and DAWs can be tutored within weeks, after that it's just a matter of enjoying yourself. Whether or not you decide musical notation to be worth it is entirely up to you.

And I agree, a lot of effort and work goes into composing these songs and the producers deserve every sliver of respect. The prep work for Vocaloids does not look fun and I can only imagine tuning them to be equal to the fifth circle of hell.

Roast them, /jp/
yea I have no idea who the other two are but everyone's favorite cute hobbo is back

>>16926646
It's Aoi and Akane.

>>16926662
Thnx, I just found out :)

>>16926646
Great, now Yukari will finally get a job voicing doujin erogames

You keep telling me they are only friends, but I don't know...

>>16926646
>>16926662

>>16927214
Sorry, your 'whoroids' are kind of irrelevant

>>16927491
Except Voiceroid LPs have more views than all Vocaloid content on nico combined. Sorry you're a filthy EOP westerner who only catches onto things 5 years later.

>>16926646
I have Akane and Aoi 1 but I never did anything with them because my Japanese sucks and I couldn't figure out how to line them up right and had never sprited anything.

I'll probably buy 2 anyway.

>>16927502
>Except Voiceroid LPs have more views than all Vocaloid content on nico combined.
That's almost as irrelevant as Voiceroid

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm31093977

not on vinyl but yeah

>>16925026
>>16925029
>>16925031
Don't be lazy.

>>16926856
Look at these cute dykes, noticing each other and being all lesbian.

I bet Luka likes to see Miku sweat.

>>16928330
Lies. They are just cold and are seeking warmth.

>>16928463
>I-I need an adult...
>I AM an adult~
This is Luka, she wouldn't be above doing something like that. She's practically so gay that you could measure it with the right equipment.

>>16928581
Not her fault. I, too, would be pretty gay for Miku if I were a woman.

WONDERFULOPPORTUNITY! is updating their album WANOPO!vol.04 using Rin and Len V4X.

Thanks for this. After all these years, I finally figure out where pic came from (yes, I'm a slowpoke).

>>16928708
>I, too, would be the gayest, molesting, manipulative ephebophile robot
And I cannot even blame you nor Luka. Damn it, Luka can't hoard the cutest girl all for herself. What's the other Vocaloids to do now?

And before someone gets any bright ideas; No, a huge, incestous orgy is not the answer.

Miku is my wife, not a dyke.

the Miku has been stolen

>>16928822
>No, a huge, incestous orgy is not the answer.

>>16928829
Try telling that to Luka.

I'm sure Miku isn't actually a raging homosexual rapist, unlike some we could name, and generally too embarrassed and chaste to follow up on any kind of innuendo.

Luka on the other hand... Miku doesn't have much of a choice, Luka is older, taller and higher in the food chain. I'm sure she gets lots of praise after for being a good little kouhai.

>>16928869
Damn Luka, you can't get Miku pregnant with your fingers, what the fuck are you doing?

>>16928869
Luka can fuck off. She isn't going to improve her declining career by chasing after someone more successful than she could ever be. She can do porn or sell her body to pay her bills.

Miku is already taken. Luka can only hope to be just friends if anything.

>>16928875
You can be sure she's going to give it an earnest attempt.

>>16928903
>She can do porn or sell her body to pay her bills
>Miku is already taken
She probably makes quite a living in secret being a photographer.

Imagine the girl you've build your entire career with getting screwed right in front of your eyes. Luka would love every single second of it.

This thread got bad, and then it got weird.

>>16927502
Yeah, cause the Vocaloid scene is TOTALLY comparable to the Voiceroid scene. You're on the wrong thread pal.is there even a Voiceroid thread?

>>16928967
it was fine until the luka and waifufag rp shit started

>>16928948
Luka wouldn't have a chance because I would kick her out of our house the moment she tries to do anything inappropriate to Miku.
And Miku is not a slut, she wouldn't betray the one she loves.

Take your disgusting fantasies somewhere else.

>>16928985
Just invade the IA thread with it, she's best friends with Yukari and they could use the traffic.

>>16928986
This negitorofag seems to be new, I reckon he'll get bored soon enough.
Unfortunately, the cucktistic waifufag has been shitting here for years.

>>16928998
Actually, the only cuckolds waifufags in these threads are some of Lukafags.

YOUR WAIFU'S FANBASE IS SHITTIER THAN MINE

>>16928986
>>16928998
Hey, you can still post your cd collections and your webms while I talk about the characters, which frankly are more interesting to hypothese about than linking the same songs we've all heard before.

We're discussing Vocaloids either way.
>>16928987
This hobo have been chasing after and bullying the rich girl for eight years, you're only going to slow her down.

>>16928991
>IA thread
>best friends with Yukari
>could use the traffic
Oh I bet they could. What is a couple of homeless compared to a queen, after all?

>>16929028
One day another will come, younger and more beautiful, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear.

>>16929028
Hm, I wouldn't consider IA homeless. I like to think she's building an empire of her own, not to bring down Miku, but to show others can be good too.

>>16929032
Oh ho ho ho.
Even Rin, the so called 'second-most-popular', exists for nothing more than to serve Miku. Being number one has its advantages.

>>16929048
>empire
A vassal state*

>>16928796
There was something so charming about the original tuning. The new versions feel vaguely off.

>>16929002
The waifufag has been through the ringer several times about how he's a cuck because he has to rely on other men in order for his "love" to exist but he's so delusional, he doesn't even care. I don't think he's smart enough to understand

>>16929078
That's basically how I've felt about all the V4 releases so far. Although I'm not sure if it's because of nostalgia, people still getting used to the tuning, or if it's just not as good.

>>16929080
No shit, for a waifu to exist there has to be someone who made it.
Your powers of deduction could rival that of Sherlock Holmes.

>>16929080
That's not what cuck means. You need someone to draw your waifu, just like you need someone to be the father of your gf. It doesn't mean you want to share your girl with others and getting pleasure from having your girl betray you.
However some people who claims to love Luka and wants her to be with Miku and fantasize about it are the perfect example of what cuckolding is.

Also there is for many characters there is many waifufags ITT. I'm not the only person who are in love with Miku here.

>>16929114
>I'm not the only person who are in love with Miku here
No, Luka is. I'm certain she is, even though it's a twisted form, and she's not very content in sharing or seeing Miku with others. It usually results in something something restraints, candlewax, whips and blindfolds for Miku.

>>16929080
That's not what cuck means. You need someone to draw your waifu, just like you need someone to be the father of your gf. It doesn't mean you want to share your girl with others and that you are getting pleasure from having your girl betray you.

>>16929138
Yeah, keep believing that, you cuck.

>>16929148
Am I still a cuck when It's my waifu imposing her will on others?

No more rape, just kissies

>>16929166
Yes.

>>16929186
Well that's dumb. What if your waifu tries to enforce mine, but mine turns the tide and gives your waifu a night so horrifying she can't go to the toilet anymore without wearing a diaper, and I have to underline that I did not take pleasure in the act but did nothing to stop it either, but had this tinge of morbid curiosity.

Am I still a cuck?

>>16929186
What if I self-insert into dyke Luka in a happy relationship with Miku? That can't be cuck...

>>16928987
>I would kick her out
>waifufag and Luka fights to the death over who gets to force themselves upon Miku
Now this is podracing

>>16929206
If you enjoy your girl fucking others then you are a cuck, that's all. You don't have to take part in the act.
You may fantasize about Miku wanting to be fucked and mutilated by Luka, but it's not "my waifu". My waifu would never betray me.

>>16929220
Do you love Miku? I'd say it's cuckolding, but it might be a gray zone, still you surely have some sort of problem.

I thought this was a Vocaloid thread, not a "Am I a cuck?" thread.

>>16929246
>still you surely have some sort of problem.
And who doesn't? I mean, we're praising virtual robots that sing in Japanese on an anonymous forum

>>16929264
it was but then the waifufags decided to shit it up

>>16929265
True.

>>16929246
>mutilated
Holy shit anon you've got some twisted thoughts, I've only been talking about Luka's sadistic streak and lust for dominance. And I don't take pleasure in this, who would do such a thing? I mean, besides Luka of course.

>>16929264
>>16929272
>not taking part in the discussion of cuck semantics
It's like you don't even want to discuss Vocaloids.

>>16929290
>That pic

Eh, and now I want to leave workplace early just to go to her and hug her and make sure she is fine.

>>16929290
>taking part in the discussion of cuck semantics
It's like you don't even know what Vocaloids are.

>>16929314
>Vocaloids
Yeah I do, it's the chinese hologram that played as intro for lady gaga.

>>16929313
Don't worry, I'm sure Luka is taking good care of her little kouhai with lots of headpats and praising in-between. At this very moment Miku might feel fear, it is, however, not the first time.

>>16929365
*Your Miku
My waifu would never betray me.

>>16929365

>>16929082
The new ones are really smooth. V2 banks were more robotic and clear in comparison. Like an UTAU. Sometimes I just want those really strong, choppy vowels.

>>16929373
It's not a question about betrayal, it's involuntary action. Don't underestimate Luka or how much of a manipulative molester she is.

>>16929380
So cute!

There's a psychological explanation for the attractiveness of Miku and Luka pairing. We called it "Opposites Attract" in the popular culture:
- Short vs Tall
- Childish vs Mature
- Small breasts vs Big breasts
- Twintails vs Straight
- Blue vs Pink

That's why any other pairing for Miku or Luka including you is automatically worse.

>>16929524
I'm more opposite to Miku than Luka can ever be.

>>16929524
- Sane vs Deranged
- Victim vs Rapist
- Weak vs Strong
You might be onto something here anon, it adds up so sharply you could gain graze points from it.

Can we stop with all the inane delusions and talk about canon pairings already?

>>16929550
Bold statement.

>>16929612
When I say it, I mean it.
I've fallen in love with her because she was opposite to me, because we complete each other.

>>16929610
>inane
>posts kagamines
>claim canon pairing

>>16929630
I bet you couldn't even ride a unicycle better than Luka, tell me how you're going to compete with the most beautiful Vocaloid.

>Danbooru
>You can't use more than 2 tags at the same time

That's how IA knows Yukari genuinely likes her, she has nothing worth stealing.

>>16929610
>canon pairings
you misspelled "fanon"

>>16929682
Armpits!

>>16929082
Not him, but I often feel the same.
Either it's a remake that lost its original charm, or a new song that just feels off compared to the old ones.
I wonder if something fundamental changed with V4

>>16929793
Yes, PVC armpits are the best.

damn... luka is cute!

>>16929969
My wife Luka is indeed very cute and also not a lesbian.

>>16929974
Negating Luka's sexuality is the same as negating Luka itself.

>>16929974
Your wife is the biggest lesbian this side of Suez, Miku.

>>16929979
Hello, new wallpaper

>>16929979
This is slander, and I (Luka's husband) will not stand for it.

>Stop playing FT for a week
>Suddenly I become 2 times better
What sorcery is this

>>16930000
Maybe Luka is bi? Beuse she is most definitely in love with Miku.Nope, I lied. Luka is 100% homo.

>>16930060
If she's a dyke, how can she be married to me? Checkmate, atheists.

I want /u/ to leave.

>>16930000
Now here's a cuck! This man is most likely one of those dead, soulless conbini workers obsessed with his favourite idol, claiming her as his wife and trying to shower her with gifts.

Meanwhile Miku's circuits is about to burn out thanks to Luka and her manipulative digits.

>>16930114
Aw, what's wrong with us? :(

>>16930109
You've got it wrong, bud. Luka is definitely, postively married to Miku. Maybe you're confused.

>>16930161
>thread was fine, lots of discussion about albums, songs
>goes to shit the instant /u/fags begin shoving their opinions on other throats, some even spouting "cuck" like a stupid /pol/tard

>>16919788
subs when? (also still waiting for Aria on the Radio #4 subs)

>>16921132
>>16921224
I get that original uploads lose views to translated reprints, but isn't it also true for covers and remixes? I never saw an utaite retiring because producers don't let him/her cover their songs. And translations actually help broadening producers' audience. I guess that sense of colloraborative work of the early years is indeed fading.

>>16926091
>It's already down
It isn't, but have a bilibili link anyway: https://www.bilibili.com/video/av9999939/

>>16929032
>>16929048
It's a matter of time to IA surpass Miku. 1st Place is obviouslly much better than Crypton at marketing their product.

>>16929076
>Even Rin, the so called 'second-most-popular'
No one thinks Rin is the second most popular vocaloid, unless you're talking about cryptonloids only.

>>16929524
>Miku
>blue

>>16930243
There's a little bit of /pol/ in all of us, newfriend.

Talking about the Vocaloids themselves doesn't prohibit you from posting albums or discussing songs.
However, you can always go on cripplechan or reddit if you want to discuss something entirely specific.

>>16930262
>It's a matter of time to IA surpass Miku
That affirmation was justified in 2012-2013. Not anymore.

In fact, I'd say Miku has become a separate entity on her own. There's Miku and then there's VOCALOIDs.

>>16930262
>It's a matter of time to IA surpass Miku
Oh yes, IA is very close to catching up, she only needs to also receive a personal letter of appreciation from the Japanese Minister of Economy and to be addressed by the Prime Minister of having his support.

Don't forget being sent into space imprinted on a satelite, and advertising Pizza, and being the mascot of a racing team that literally can't stop winning. Oh and the annual concerts in collaboration with Tokyo MX.

But hey, nice mexican concerts. Can't wait for IA to catch up.

>>16930269
It doesn't prevent actual discussion but it certainly inhibits it, by drowning it in a sea of shit.
I'm not saying you guys can't do your ERPing here, just understand that everyone thinks you're annoying. No one comes here to read your mikuxluka/mikuxwriter whatever fanfics

>>16930262
Regarding translated reprints, I guess they're different since they're exactly the same song as the original. Voca-Ps might also see collaborative opportunity in utaites, but not in translations.
>IA will surpass Miku
I feel like IA's bump in popularity was only due to Jin's series, and that didn't even showcase her character. As it is, she doesn't have the same blue ocean appeal that Miku does.

>>16930292
Don't forget all the regular side concerts like Miku Symphony (will be done this year as well) and Snow Miku, plus the occasional collaborations like Miku x KODO and the one with the Kabuki troupe and next year concert in Paris to promote japan in European EXPO

>>16930294
>it's your fault nobody responds to me
>it's your fault nobody cares about the discussion i'm trying to raise
Your opinion means very little to me. If it bothers you so much, go upstairs and join the circlejerk.

>>16930319
>projecting this badly
>being braindead
As expected of /u/.

>>16930332
>implying projection
Denial is the first step anon.

>>16930290
Isn't Gumi actually more popular than IA?

If so, IA has someone else to surpass first, before even thinking about Miku.

>>16930319
>he thinks he's talking to only one anon

>>16930290
Has become? Vocaloid has built its popularity on Miku's back from the beginning.

Personally, while I like Miku, she's not my favorite; however, it's only thanks to her and her success that we got all the other character-based vocaloids to begin with. No other vocaloid will ever come close to Miku's popularity now, it's just too late for that.

>>16930344
You're all the same to me.

>>16930344
Watch out though, Yukari is there, ready to take down both IA and GUMI at any moment.

>>16930319
Man, I never thought I'd see the day Lukafags would surpass the Lenfags in terms of shitposting.

>>16930361
>#3 song in 2015
>#2 song in 2016
>#2 song so far in 2017
>more views than Miku if you count her Voiceroid videos
Can she be stopped?

>>16930365
It's not shitposting though, it's not even off topic. It's light, character based discussion which really ruffles some panties because it doesn't appeal to them.

In other words, I'm stealing their (You)s and it makes them sad.

>>16930365
>tfw I started the Lukaposting
>tfw I just wanted everyone to love Luka like I do

>>16930392
You did good anon, for once the thread seemed somewhat alive.

>>16930392
>I just wanted everyone to love Luka like I do
There's no need, anon. Everyone loves Luka, and if they don't, they are lost forever and they are not worthy to even be talked to.

>>16930383
>light character based discussion
The sexual discussion can be a little overwhelming. It's certainly more than light memeing. Of course it's fine in moderation, but the thirsty atmosphere can be a little suffocating.

Half of the thread is filled with Miku and Luka fags, some one posts /u/ stuff and every explodes.

Lets make a little survey.
Answer this post with your favourite Vocaloid.

Are there really that many Lukafags here?
Is there even one GUMIfag?

>>16930415
But it does add some contrast, yeah? Like, Luka's defining character trait is how she may be a Machiavellian molesting mastermind and a ephebophile. Or at least we like to meme about it, I just made it into a discussion.

>>16930468
I am a Lenfag.

>>16930383
I see, so you're one of those. You crave for these (You)s, you dirty slut

>>16930468
Hatsuenay meeku.

>>16930468
Luka is my favorite, and my wife, but GUMI is easily my second favorite.

>>16930468
I can't pick, have them both.

>>16930468
The one and only banana guy

>Is there even one GUMIfag?
Gumi is my second favorite actually, but yeah, seems like there used to be a lot more Gumi fans around

>>16930468
Miku is the best vocaloid but Gumi has the best voice

>>16930468
Lukafag here, but I also like a lot of Miku and our cute hobo

>tfw the only pure Mikufag
>tfw about to be dragged off united airlines
Yame...

>>16930468
i only come here for the lukaposting

>>16930468
I love Miku.

>>16930500
Just wait till I steal your gets as well.

>>16930580
>steal
Missed opportunity to post Yukari.

>>16930580
You can keep the gets.

I'm going to steal your dyke Luka and make her into a proper lady, just like my future wife, my own Luka!

>>16930114
Agreed. Imagine these posts but with Kaito and Len. It's just as bad if not worse than this /u/ shitty role play

>>16930292
Miku became a success by luck, and Crypton has a large volume of money to keep the Miku machinery running. First Place, on the other hand, made IA a success with pure well planned marketing strategy and limited budget. They closed the gap between IA and Gumi incredible fast.
Miku may not being so affected by the decline of vocaloid yet, but it has only been delayed. When Miku start to fall, like the rest of the vocaloid scene, we'll see which company has what it takes to rise its vocaloid again. And my bets, my friend, are on 1st Place.

>>16930468
GUMIfag here. Her voice bank is just too good.

>>16930661
The time spent trying to convert Luka from homosexuality can only be paced like an ant pushing a brick across the desert. Every girl is Luka's girl. You'll have more luck trying to decipher a book dipped in brown sauce.

>>16930777
>Miku became a success by luck
>oh but my totally original palette swapped not!Miku who came in at the height of Vocaloid totally worked hard for it and didn't just leech off the popularity
Remember to give my regards to all the other scraploids at the junkyard.

>>16930468
I don't have a favorite Vocaloid,but my playlist has more Rin songs,closely followed by Miku.

>>16929682
Weren't they talking about increasing tag limit for no gold users one of these days?Whatever became of that?

>>16930754
>Kaito x Len
Gross. Len x Len is the one true /y/ pairing

>>16930821
>Len x Len

Wait, what's different?

>>16930777
First Place hit a goldmine with Jin. That's the only reason IA is popular today

>>16930468
I like most of them. Some of them a bit more.

I know one Gumifag at least.

>>16930870
Miku: "Why I'm suddenly surrounded by losers?"

>>16930902
With all the diabetes-inducing Mikufags around I guess it balances things a bit that some of her "fans" portray her in a not so positive way.

I love it how nobody talks about IA TALK.

I still can't understand how they thought it was okay to release that.

>>16930982
What do you mean?
I've only watched the first one so far.

>>16931005
The fact that she sounds nothing like her Vocaloid?

unless there's an update I haven't seen yet.

>>16930924
With her old acquaintances soaked in the rain and taking shelter at a bus stop; Miku comes rolling up to them in her Maserati and goes "sup dorks? how does it feel being such complete and utter losers?" As she does a sick burnout and makes sure to splash water in their direction, honking as she speeds off.

Yeah, that's not Miku. She'd offer them a drive home, even if she'd have to go multiple times. Who cares if the car gets water damage. She's too friendly, gentle and extroverted.

Imagine, just imagine, having so little faith in your Vocaloid that you release a god damn voiceroid based on it. And then people have the audacity to come here and say "nah IA tho she'll rise to the top", laughable at god damn best.

>>16931022
There's nothing wrong with the intent, but I just can't get over how they listened to the first samples and went "this sounds fine, let's release this, nobody will notice".

Were they trying to top LukaV4X?

>>16931010
Oh, yeah I spent most of it confusing ONE for IA.

>>16931033
>with the intent
What was the intent? Jin isn't bringing in the cash anymore so let's copy Yukari now and expand into shitty minecraft LPs?

The remark is charming, but nothing will ever top Luka V4x, this can't even compare. For starters IA is still around.

>>16931101
Some of her voicebanks can sound ok.(Luka)
But can you make the Cevio sound like the Vocaloid?

I know it'll probably be swept under the rug, but it's amazing what companies get away with nowadays.

the real question is if IA is so popular then why is there so little porn made featuring her?

>>16931174
Porn is a valid indicator of a character popularity? You know, Yotsuba has very, very few porn

>>16931174
Despite being a somewhat volatile fanbase there is one generally accepted consensus, and that is to not lewd the Miku.

Others apply as well.

>to not lewd the Miku.
Nigga, do you have any idea of how much porn of Miku there is on the Internet? Maybe not that much in the doujin manga department, but everything else...

>>16931185
Pretty sure Miku has the most porn among Vocaloids.

>>16931191
>>16931198
Only doujins matter, and people don't buy them because Vocaloids are pure.

It don't matter if some degenerate pixiv artist gets a kick out of drawing Miku with a leek up her ass.

>>16931191
>>16931198
This is when you search for "hatsune_miku rating:explicit"

>>16931214
And Pixiv.

>to not lewd the Miku.
I'm gonna play the newfag card and ask how that meme became a thing. It's not like Miku is older than the internet. Even in the shitty olden days, people have been making porn of everything.
