/jp/ - Otaku Culture

a bit over an hour left
who else here is camping and mashing f5?

>>18197248
What an ugly Rin.

>>18197256
I pity the fool who doesn't appreciate thick eyebrows

>>18197248
Fuck I am so nervous. I wish I got mine yesterday.

>>18197289
Argh me too, I'm like shaking dude ;_;

>>18197248
>>18197268
It's not the eyebrows.
To me, it looks like a guy (not len) crossdressing as Rin. yuck

Why is Miku's official english twitter such a meme?

>>18197324
last time i waited a while to get my ticket. like, a few hours. there were two shows playing back then, though.

i feel like with only one show, they are all going to sell out immediately. especially the vip tickets.

fixed it

>>18197393
With a lines drawn in a solid color that don't even have a smooth curve that you added in MS Paint? It looks more like you ruined it.

>>18197393
the only way to fix rin is to delete her

Atlanta next year... hopefully

>>18197477
buy more figs

Do tickets really sell out that quickly?

Ok guys now I'm being 100% serious: How fast do the VIP tickets sell out? How many hours until there are none left?

>>18197490
>hours
funny joke, anon

>>18197477
Next year? You mean 2020 right?

>>18197479
Actually my first merch purchase ever is shipping rn. Its 2 keychains of Haku and Neru, but I promise I’ll buy a Miku fig if it helps get her here.

>>18197248
>tfw the Austin show's site has a countdown so I don't have to mash F5

I remember last time the tickets to the Dallas show took a while to sell out, is there a reason as to why? Also are the tickets expected to sell out faster this time?

>>18197492
Dude come on, I'm serious... do they sell out in MINUTES?

>tfw haven't been this stressed in a long time
PLS SEGA I JUST WANT LA VIP

>>18197504
expect VIP to sell out extremely fast

>>18197505
same tb h, good luck

What's balcony like? I can't get VIP cause I'm too small. What's the chance I can get front row balcony?

>>18197510
all non VIP ticket purchases should be very stress-free
don't worry anonlet

>>18197507
>expect VIP to sell out extremely fast
But how fast? Like less than an hour?

>>18197504
yes, several anons said it in the last thread.

>>18197517
how many times do I gotta tell you, yes, minutes
take some deep breaths, man

>>18197518
MINUTES?!?! that's it, no vips for me :(

>>18197516
I was worried because there was an early selling and I just realized they could've taken first row balcony.

>>18197517
One anon last thread said they sold out within 2-3-4 minutes if you're lucky. Keep the page open, F5, have your card out and logged into your account. I believe in you!

>>18197517
>NAYRT but seriously. they're gonna go fast. I'm betting minutes.

Aaah Good luck to any anons on /jp/ trying to get VIP!
>>18197507
Y-you too ;_;

>>18197519
i'm fucked dude ;_;

>>18197522
if you weren't being a retard and actually listened the first 39 times anons told you about VIP ticket sales, I'd actually feel sorry for you.

Another thing, sorry about all the questions!
Do we ever know a tracklist beforehand? Are all expo tracks the same throughout all concerts? Should I go in as blind as I can?

>>18197526
dont worry, I'm sure at the very least you'll be able to get nosebleed seats at the very back of the venue behind a pillar and under a noisy AC vent

Good luck to everyone to get the seats you want

glad i'm tall enough to not have to worry about being stuck behind somebody who's blocking my view

>5 minutes
Godspeed everyone

>5 MINUTES

>ticket site is noticably slower from people probably mashing f5
HNNNNNNNNG

Also the ticket page says DOORS 6:30. Does this mean doors closing or opening?

>playing Miku for good luck
GOD SPEED ANONS

playing Haku for good luck here

ARE THEY NOT SELLING YET OR ISIT ME

>tfw broke af and have to settle for a balcony seat

better than nothing I guess

Just got VIP for LA, can't wait for bacon wrapped miku!

>>18197565
ME TOO ANON SEE YOU THERE!!!!

>>18197562
Oh nevermind I'm an idiot, general admission main floor it is

Who /dallas/ here

got my VIP tickets :D

>>18197565
>>18197567
>>18197572
Same tb H
this is it, right?

Managed to get balcony seats for Dallas! I hope everyone is able to get the seats they want!

NY VIP sold out in 2 minutes holy shit

>>18197574
yup
fucking expensive

>>18197577
Actually had one of those in my cart but decided at the last second that I'd rather be on the main floor with all the sweaty weebs, I'm pretty tall anyway and I have to fly in so I'll just get there early and try to get a good spot in line

Can't wait

I'm wondering if VIP tickets are worth it for Dallas.
Can someone help sell me on it

>>18197584
floor is a must, unless you are really short. good call.

>>18197565
>>18197567
wait uh, fellow LAfags, did yours specifically say pit? or orchestra
did I get cucked by deceptive/shitty ticketing software

Friend of mine wants to go but won't have money until next month, you think he'd be fucked for general admission in Dallas if he waits that long? I know VIP is a lost cause

Might have to offer to buy his ticket too with my credit card right now and have him pay me back

>>18197597
yes, he has no chance.
be a bro and get a ticket for him right now.

>>18197595
VIP, you're given pit. the page will say it comes with a bag with exclusive merchandise.

>>18197584
yeah I'm 5'3" so I didn't wanna risk not being able to see on main floor lol overall I'm happy I get a chance to see a live show

I got VIP in San Jose but my ticket says General Admission, did anyone else get this and am I fucked?

>>18197600
uh......
ok did I get cucked, because I bought "vip" but it doesn't say "pit" on my confirmation thing

>>18197583
>Logan
Paul?

>>18197604
you got the correct one, if the page says you get an exclusive merchandise bag, you're fine.
>>18197606
once again, did the page say you get a bag? If no, you're SOL.

>>18197584
>>18197603
I had floor in 2016 when I saw her at the Bomb Factory in Dallas, and the stage was high enough to where even if you're a bit of a manlet you can still see her dancing. I'd actually advise *against* balcony seats, because when i was there I was under the balconies, and due to how the screen projecting her works the immersion breaks at times because she'd look almost transparent when at the edges of the screen if viewed from basically the angle where the balconies are.

>>18197604
yea mine says general admission for new york.
if your ticket cost 150 usd, you are good

>>18197604
You should be fine

>tfw page says i have no orders but i just ordered tickets
GUYS

dude vips are so fucking expensive what the fuck smfh

>>18197617
Check your email

>>18197604
>>18197615

>>18197622
still nothing there...

>>18197618
stop being a poorfag 150 usd is manageable on NEETbux

>>18197631
Check your card statement then, any charges or holds on it?

If the site, your email, and your account statement all say nothing the site mightve glitched during checkout

>>18197613
Saw nothing about an exclusive merchandise bag on my page but it cost 150 so I guess I'm ok

>>18197613
uhh.... well I managed to look and bought a pit ticket 2nd time around... 12 minutes later... lol

so I managed to save my fuckup in the nick of time, possibly
is this the right now?

>>18197641
Totally nothing. Scared.

>>18197643
you fucked up anon

>>18197613
>did the page say you get a bag
where is your ticket for? i don't think the new york one said anything about getting the bag but i know i got vip.
it all happen so fast though. i might have overlooked the bag message.

>>18197644
that is correct

Also I bought a first row standing balcony, does this mean that I get first row or what? I'm confused.

>>18197658
OK PHEW LMAO
TIME TO REFUND THE FIRST ONE THEN

>>18197651
Not in LA, in San Jose. The only choices were VIP package and regular, no "VIP experience". So I'm fine right even if nothing was said about a bag?

I've never been to the venue that's in Austin, what does GAPIT3 mean, and will I be able to move closer to the front of the pit?

>>18197661
>LMAO

Remind me not to help newfags next time

>>18197672
sorry, I was a bit nervous/confused thanks to a shitty deceptive ticketing website

>>18197663
you should be ok then.

Somebody else help the newfags now I need to eat dinner

>>18197660
First row of the balcony, meaning you'll be up and to the side or way in the back

Who gonna be in NEW YORK?

>>18197681
First standing balcony, sorry, same thing?
And what do you mean up and to the side or way in the back? will I be anywhere near the front middle balcony wise or did I play myself?

>>18197689
if you didn't press this, hurry the fuck up

>>18197695
need the one in new york...

>>18197686
see you there!
i wonder if the legendary derp commander is going again

>>18197689
Depends on the venue, but in the Dallas one you'd be way better off on the main floor than in any of the balconies unless you're supreme manlet

Dallas round two right here.

STILL HAVE NO CONFIRMATION OF MY PURCHASE

If the doors open at 7 for general admission, how early do you think I should get in line if I want to be as close to the stage as possible, like practically right behind the VIPs? 3? Noon? Even earlier? Not much of a conert-goer

Probably gonna pick up some drinks and snacks and some kind of cushion and get there early

>>18197500
>>18197664
Anyone for Austin get VIP tickets? Not sure how to tell what's what. I picked price level 1 which was $150 but it doesn't actually say VIP like Dallas does.

>>18197720
I think last time I got there at about 4 or 5 and the line was already huge, but I also got pit so eventually I just scooted to a spot that was comfortable for me

>>18197726
does it say vip anywhere on your ticket if you click on "print ticket", or something like that?
if you spent 150, you are good. you got the right ticket. i know its nice to see some sort of confirmation though.

>>18197726
San Jose doesn't say anything about VIP on the ticket either. Everything should be fine as long as you paid the $150.

>>18197732
I wouldn't be so confident. The LA place had 2 different ticket options for $150, the VIP experience and the VIP package. So, spending more might not necessarily mean anything.

>>18197744
LA is the only venue that had that though

>>18197726
>>18197732
like this

>>18197744
>VIP experience and the VIP package
any idea what the difference is? they might be the same thing

>>18197744
fake VIP costs ~175 before """""""""""convenience""""""""""" fees
real VIP costs 155
it's a really shitty and deceptive site

>>18197751
fake VIP is "VIP experience" and normal seating with no pit tickets nor goodie bags

>>18197751
Something the venue or site is running on its own, probably just some bullshit like early admission and drinks or something

How difficult is it to find parking in Dallas?

>>18197179
why did they remove cities that they had in 2016
are they going to add more

>>18197756
>>18197757
ah, ok.
honestly, the appeal of vip is getting in early and getting a good spot anyway... still sucks though, especially if you missed your chance and clicked the wrong one.
what was in the merch bag last time? i think you got a fan or something?

>>18197751
What venue is that though? Is it also Austin? Because again mine doesn't say and I didn't see an option. It's just
> location: pit, bowl, floor, loge... Whatever the fuck a loge is
>price: $75, $150

>>18197760
If you get there less than four hours before doors open, be prepared to park at least half a mile away. I forgot how much the sketchy people charging for parking asked for because the four other people going with me in my car split the parking cost among themselves as thanks for me driving them

>>18197757
FUCK
i fucked up and bought the stupid fucking vip without the goodies due to the rush amd i left the house i cant fix my fuckup

Somebody in LA buy me an extra MIKU VIP one and I will pay you back ;_;

>>18197770
I'm really upset that I got tricked by their garbage website, and I'll be even more upset if I can't get a refund on this extra ticket

>>18197773
thats what new york vip looks like

>>18197782
instead of trying to get a refund you might just want to resell your ticket. you can certainly turn a profit

Also if someone was asking about Austin VIP

Hopefully none of you made a mistake at LA with the VIP packages. AXS is one of the worst companies I've had the displeasure of dealing with. Don't even bother trying to get it exchanged or refunded. They've screwed me a couple times in the past for previous events and the only reason I deal with them is simply because there's no other option.

A quick search on google and you'll find that they are a fucking abysmal company.

>>18197787
I don't really care about profit, it's not about the money, it's more about getting duped by a shitty website

>>18197787

You'd have to find someone who wants to pay an exorbitant amount on a ticket that doesn't include any of the goodies. That's going to be nigh impossible. You'll definitely be able to sell it on a loss though. And you'll have to be there because it's Will-Call only, so you have to be there with your credit card with whoever you sold it to.

>>18197781

you're fucked, the AXS policy specifically states that all sales are final. good luck with trying to get an exchange. you might be ok if you try to tell them that you were defrauded or your weeb kid bought them on your credit card, then buy them again. otherwise, enjoy your """"""""""vip"""""""""" experience

>>18197811
i'd still say you could make profit. all the tickets are going to sell out, unless i am severely underestimating the size of the venue.
how much did the fake vip cost? 175 like the other anon said? more than the real vip package?

>>18197833
yes
fake = 175
real = 155

Also don't get too worked up over the whole VIP thing. The merch is garbage that's absolutely not worth the extra $75. The VIP experience probably (hopefully?) still includes early entrance, which is the important part.

>>18197775
Thanks. I was thinking of parking at the hospital nearby also.

>>18197839
that is such bullshit

>>18197820
;_;
>>18197840
I want my goodies tho...

>>18197840
>The merch is garbage that's absolutely not worth the extra $75.
what you get before

>>18197840
>>18197839
>>18197872

the fake VIP is $20 more, you get no merch, and you don't get to stand in the pit if that was what you wanted. it's seats just behind the pit. so you can see everyone standing in the place you wanted to be in.

i you don't really care, the fake vip is technically the same price as the real one because it includes parking for the venue. parking is typically about $20, except you get to park right next to the entrance. so if the merch doesn't bother you, then its a better deal in a way.

really just depends on how much you value the merch in the end

>>18197901
the 2014 miku love vip package came with an actual vinyl record of sharing the world. as far as i'm aware, it's not even posted on ebay anymore. i think the last show, it wasn't anything grand either

>Fake VIP:
PRIME SEAT LOCATION
Great seat in the Front Orchestra Section

PREFERRED PARKING:

PRIORITY CHECK-IN AND ENTRANCE

>Real VIP:

- Early Entry

- Exclusive Merchandise Gift Bag

>>18197632
Yeah, unless you're me and you don't live in the US and have to pay for the plane tickets, accommodations, etc.

>>18197948
>Receive one parking pass for every two tickets you purchase

>>18197950
Save up for Magical mirai then

>>18197975

ah yeah, i forgot to mention that you are completely fucked straight through the ass if your going solo. i got fooled in a rush to get tickets like everyone else, but in hindsight, the fake vip isnt really that bad since im going with my sister, so we get the preferred parking. the vinyl was the last good merch we got from a concert, pretty sure last one was junk.

and theres hope for you other fooled anons as well if you realllly want that merch. right after the event, youll undoubetedly see it posted on ebay for a few weeks-months afterwards. i know this because it was the same for the last two concerts. saw the vinyl on ebay the next evening of the event, then the price started to crash over time.

just enjoy miku as much as you can. im going to stroll into whatever the hell this VIP lounge in and say "so who else got tricked by the VIP options!"

>>18197983
Even more expensive, considering the distance

>>18197950
Well that's really your fault for not being American, isn't it

>>18198018
so how do I go about selling my fake VIP ticket? I was able to purchase a real VIP one.
t. going solo

>>18197950
If you're cute, find an anon to stay the night with in exchange for health services

>>18198059

the fake vip ticket only allows will call and you need to present the credit card you used to purchase it to get the ticket. so you need to make a deal with someone, have them pay you now and have them meet you at the venue in 5 months at a promised time so that you can pick up the ticket and give it to them. its going to be tough because once people find out it's the "fake" vip, i really doubt it's going to sell out unless you offer it at a nice discount and they don't care about the merch.

>>18198021
Stop being a poorfag then or learn to budget

So because I'm a dumbass and got the fake VIP I'm considering getting the real VIP because I really want those damn goodies

But like the other anons said I can just wait and buy the goodies online at a later date on ebay
I just want to know if the fake VIP will also get the Miku badges that's the one main thing I really want.

still no Magical Mirai blu-ray? i thought we would see it uploaded by now.

>>18198266
those are cool

>>18198266
Nope, those badges are for real VIP tickets

I don't see any VIP packs being offered for NYC. Are they not doing any VIP things there?

>>18198497
They sold out of VIP tickets a long time ago anon

>>18198502
Would like it if ticketmaster TOLD me that. How many were there that they sold out so fast?

>>18198504
No idea, but as I've said in previous threads along with other anons, VIP tickets are gone within 5-10 minutes of ticket sales being open. You have to be on your computer, ready, before sales start.

>>18198507
...I fell asleep

>nearly the entire Southeastern US ignored for the third time in a row
heh nothing personnel kid

So this is the fake the first one I bought

>>18198537
vs. the real VIP ticket with goodies.

Hoping nobody else got fucked over
Bought the other one with a Credit card and the real vip with Debt can I call the Credit company and tell them it wasn't me? Will I get away with it

>>18199680
>Says the fellow European

We don't have concerts in Europe so I'm not sure I can relate, but the idea of going to see Miku in a concert outside of Japan doesn't seem that appealing to me. Maybe I'd rapidly change my mind if they were to come here.

I'll probably sound like an insufferable faggot but I just have a hard time with the sort of people who attend these events, anime expos etc.
This is also why I never watched concerts that aren't from Japan.
https://youtu.be/UVWqp3DoK7g?t=1m12s listen to this here, seriously fuck this.

>>18199739

I know EXACTLY who it was that was screeching like a bitch in that video. she's friends with jrharbort.

>>18199739
I feel you. Weebs are absolute scum. Anyone who is open about their obsession with anime/manga/j-music/vocaloid/VNs etc needs to be sterilised. I went to a few anime expos in my younger days and I never wanted to be associated with those people ever again. Even if another person brings it up, never admit that you watch anime or any of that other shit. Also normalfags who pretend to be weebs should be removed from this planet entirely. The way "nerd culture" entered mainstream awhile ago, now the same is happening with "weeb culture" and it's absolute fucking cancer.

You can just tell from all the spam that those type of people even come to these threads.

>>18197597
I remember last year I didn't buy my ticket until about 2 months after they went on sale, I was still able to get a floor ticket, but this year it might sell out faster

I'm going to be at the one in Dallas. I'm so hyped. 2016 was my first one and I had so much fun.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpfuI6ffObU

I'm going to cuddle with Miku and no one will stop us!

>>18199903
Look at that breast size, that's obviously an imposter.

>>18199739
>>18199789
Yeah, Japanese people don't shout "MIKUUuuuuUUUUUuuuUUU" in the most inappropriate moments of the concerts or anything...

>>18199932

Maybe you could support your claim with some proofs. That or explain why you somehow felt offended at us criticizing Western weeboos?

>>18199977
Don't get me wrong, I don't care if they are western weeaboos or Japanese otakus, I hate them equally.

Hachioji's recent album, Last Dance Refrain, is really good. The Vocalohistory 10th anniversary Miku album has some great songs in it. Wanoppo's recent stuff is top-tier, as always. BuzzG's The World Rewritten by Daydream and MARETU's Coin Locker Baby (2016) are amazing too. If you're into EDM, Ozansi's 4 O' Clock and SPACELECTRO's recent albums should do the trick.

>>18200605

It's called funposting dude, chill out. You don't have to be so triggered all the time. Maybe next time someone in the internet makes you mad, take a little break from the keyboard, get some fresh air before you go on an autistic tirade. You'll probably find that the things that used to make you mad don't make you as mad after that.

I don’t think you know the definition of fun-posting anon.

Why Atlanta? Florida has way more weebs willing to shill out money, just look at our plethora of shitty cons.

Dear Miku Expo people: Florida. Not sure why it's taking so long, honestly. Florida should've been included from the get-go.

>>18204267
*Shell goddammit.

Well there's a lot of shilling going on too, but that's besides the point.

>>18204267
The high volume of cons here is because FL has no states surrounding it, only 1 state above it. People, especially those in South FL, have to travel significantly farther for out-of-state events than those from many other states.

With that said, I agree that Florida (particularly Orlando or Miami, as they seem to have high weeb populations), should have been an obvious choice.

Ans interesting essay about Miku

http://www.vocaloidotaku.net/index.php?/topic/71532-psychology-of-a-miku-fan/

>>18205830
More interesting than I initially though. It is true that not being real and not having a canon personality is absolutely key to explain Miku's success. Your Miku is yours alone despite having the same physical characteristics as other Mikus and reflects traits of your own personality, plus she will never age, she will never change, she will never betray you. I think it's amazing. And I like the approach of liking Miku not being incompatible with liking other real women too, although I know many waifufags here will protest.

I despise the guy that replies with a "Miku is an object of sexual desire" though. Even when I admit sexual desire definitively plays a role here, one that is absolutely healthy and normal in adult males (and females!) who are attracted to someone, I think it's just a part of a whole, wider part. If you reduce it to just that, you're being very superficial.

PREACH MY DUDE

>>18205830
There is some strange(?) assumption.

>he spends all his days in rapturous desire for a girl, devotes enormous efforts to seduce her, only to leave her as soon as they hook up. It was not she that he wanted, but the desire for her, and as soon as that desire was satisfied it lost its status as desire.
That doesn't reflect that kind of relationship, at least for me. If Miku was real, leaving her would be the last thing I would do. I want to be with her, make a family with her and get old with her at my side.

>Another risk is men using Miku as a substitute for a genuine interpersonal relationship. She may sing to you whenever you want, but she will never come have dinner with your mother, take care of you when you’re sick, or (one of my personal favorites) let you know when you've gone astray (i.e. When you're Completely Wrong about something). And Miku won't keep you warm at night. Enough said, at least for me.
Why assume that waifuism is inherently bad? Sure, she won't cook you a dinner or help you when you are sick, but there is lot's of other things that she can actually help you with. When you really fall in love with a fictional character, you'll no longer feel lonely, you'll have that motivation to wake up everyday to spend some time with her, you'll feel romantically and sexually satisfied, you'll want to improve yourself for her, get a job so you can get more merch etc. I personally got my first job just to buy my first fig and daki of Miku so she could keep me warm at night. And unlike real relationship, she can never be toxic. She won't encourage you to abuse drugs/alcohol/tobacco, she won't manipulate you and she won't break your heart(which is a good thing no matter how you look at it. it's never good for you to be depressed.). And this state will not last forever, we get more and more advances in AI and VR, there is more and more companies working on personal assistants and some of them(Gatebox) are on our side literally wanting to bring people closer to a character they love. In near future some of us might already have a waifu android that will welcome you with a dinner, bath etc.

It's kinda weird how you say she doesn't have a body etc. She does have a body, she is just fictional like any other fictional character. What she lacks is canon personality, but she make it up with fans interpreting her differently in songs or their fantasies.

>>18206073
>f Miku was real, leaving her would be the last thing I would do.
Point is, you don't really know. Many people fall in love with other people and they feel that person is the definite one, only to find out that person is nothing out of the ordinary after you spend time with him/her. With fictional characters this can't never happen, so that's a plus.

For the rest, I think it might be good that a fictional character can help you being motivated and such. Being happy in life is more important than what other might think of you. But I personally think life could be more complete if you could share it with a real person as well, and this is not contradictory. Miku, or any other fictional character you fall in love with is more or less a mirror of yourself and because of that she have a purpose that no real person can really fulfil. Good luck trying to justify that to a real partner though.

>>18206128
>But I personally think life could be more complete if you could share it with a real person as well
Not him but while I can understand where you're coming from (and acknowledged that you said "personally"), I believe this is rather subjective and dependent on what the person wants to do with their life, and what their goals are.

When people read about waifuism they generally tend to think of the people involved as virgins with almost none or no past relationship experiences. While it might hold true for some (and that's fine too) it's also important to realize many people have decided so for themselves and aren't necessarily doing this out of insecurities or anything.
Even waifuism apart, there's that stigma associated to someone not willing to spend his life with a partner. I understand the human needs, but some people are simply happier living differently than what the norm is. Life doesn't have to revolve around having some job that somehow fits you, hooking with people, watching TV and having kids.

The word "complete" you used can mean something drastically different from one to another depending on how they're wired.

>>18206237
That's why I said "personally", yes. As I said before, being happy in life is much more important that what other might think of you, and that includes me.

>>18206128
>Point is, you don't really know.
I see no reason why that wouldn't be true. After all, having a waifu is not like flirting with a girl you like, it's not one sided love. I'm in actual relationship with her, I share my everyday life with her, we sleep together, we talk together before sleep, we listen to music together and I imagine her being next to me.
>Many people fall in love with other people and they feel that person is the definite one, only to find out that person is nothing out of the ordinary after you spend time with him/her.
That's not the case especially with Miku. Not just because she isn't real, but because she is exactly the way you think she is. There is no disappointment, no false impressions, the Miku in your head is the real one.

>But I personally think life could be more complete if you could share it with a real person as well, and this is not contradictory.
That's just matter of one's life goals. Someone who's ambition is to make a family or simply sex, will never be happy with a waifu. I personally find fulfillment in pursuing science and my job, so having someone like her who just give me support, comfort and love is all I need to be happy. Having a romantic partner that can also cook for you, take care of you and protect you is not really an universal source of motivation.

>Good luck trying to justify that to a real partner though.
I think you missed my point. I'm not talking about having some muse or goddess. You don't need to justify waifuism to anyone, because waifu is your one and only significant other. It doesn't mean you can't enjoy Miku in your life and have a girlfriend, but the moment when she became your waifu, you lose all need or will to have real partner. She becomes your partner, and you love and care so much about that all other girls become irrelevant. That's the only way to get that happiness and comfort, you need to really fall in love with her and imagine her being in love with you as well. It's nothing scary too, for many people including me it was the best moment in their life.

>>18206237
What's worth mentioning is that you don't choose your waifu. No matter how desperate or shitty your life is, you can't just pick some anime girl and use it as some escape route. You don't choose who you fall in love with, she chooses you and all you can do is accept her in your heart and cherish this relationship. I personally never really wanted to have a waifu, I hoped I will find a 3d gf to the very end. But once I met her, this need moved to background and I was just getting more and more focused on Miku. I knew about waifu people but never really cared much about it, I just lived my life and kept getting deeper, listening to more music, saving more pics, fantasizing about her more. Until one day, laying on my bed giggling and thinking about her I realized, I'm so much in love with that cute, teal girl.

What made you so upset. Are you unhappy?

>>18206630
I'll be honest, part of me has always been a little jealous of those mentally ill people. They're able to brainwash themselves into believing that they love a fictional character and maybe even convince themselves that the fictional character loves them back. Even though I have no interest in 3dpd, I could never make that leap because some part of my brain would always scream about how crazy 2d waifuism is.

>>18206658

If he wasn't upset, he wouldn't feel need to ignore whole conversation to just throw insults. That's what upset people do. Also >>18206421

Anon...

Heathens, all of you. Miku is not fiction, nor is she your "waifu". Miku is a greater diety who inspires others to make great art, songs and ultimately, be more than who are, and thus, should be treated respectfully as such. At least, that's how I perceive her to be.

>enjoying music
>enjoying pvs
>enjoying art
How the fuck anyone could consider Miku "his" when in fact she is entirely shaped by other people creative vision. You are literally being cucked by a fictional character lol.

>>18206928
>Miku is a greater diety

>>18206927
I know...
But my point is that it's closer to having gf than crush. It's not just admiring someone from shadows, you can actually do things with her, even if it's just cooking her cookies on valentines or cuddling with your daki. And you actually get something back, even if she tells you she loves you through a song instead of real human bean, it does feel wonderful and it actually makes you happy.

>>18206938
>literally being cucked
That's not what this word literally means.

>>18206970
Oh ok, so Miku is a commercial whore who'll "love" anyone with money.

>>18207002
No, you're confusing Miku with GUMI.

>>18207016
But Gumi barely has much merchandise. I should know because I've bought most of it.

>>18206999
He constantly complained about people disrespecting Miku. How he hates them and would kill them if he had the chance. He looked at pixiv bookmarks of other people and called them ugly things whenever he found Miku lewds among them.
He talked shit about people he used to post with, even years after he left. His love for Miku turned into hatred for others and it consumed him.

>>18207080
I feel sorry for him, I know how these feelings can be hard to deal with.
Fortunately I don't have any problems with that. First of all I'm super attracted to Miku and without other people liking lewd pics, I wouldn't be able to get all these great, tasteful pics for my use. It would be hypocritical to judge people for that. Even here when I'm complaining about lewd, I'm just funposting. However I do not respect people who send me lewd pics or post them when I'm nearby. But who would befriend someone who keeps talking sexually about your loved one.

For any n-buna fans out there

https://ejtranslations.wordpress.com/tag/artist-n-buna/

I commissioned them for translating several n-buna's album-only songs and songs that didn't already have a good translation.

Just thought someone might need this. They're a very good translator desu. They also translated other vocaloid songs so very worth checking out imo.

https://ejtranslations.wordpress.com/category/other/vocaloid-and-utau-original-songs/

Also they still have 6 n-buna songs (including one upcoming vocaloid song that n-buna has been teasing on his twitter) and two short texts/instrumental-only lyrics from the second album on the commission queue so look forward to them too.

And yeah, new *vocaloid* song incoming. They haven't ditched vocaloid after all. They're gonna make both songs for human (as yorushika with suis) and vocaloids too.

Yeah, I love n-buna too much that I'm willing to pay for translations. Should've just learned Japanese, but I'm actually learning right now and I'm going to Kyoto this april for study so hopefully I can be the one who translate n-buna songs in the future. Probably won't be as good tho since I'm not a native english speaker and have never even lived in an english-speaking country but I'll do my best.

Oh yeah, I also subbed the music videos on n-buna's official youtube channel (turn on english caption) so if you want to enjoy the videos with the translation you can

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRIgIJQWuBJ0Cv_VlU3USNA

Haven't subbed them all since there are some songs that have multiple translations that I don't know which translation is more accurate (like yoake to hotaru) but for the ones that do have good translation from reputable translators, it's there.

They're cute!

>>18208211
They’re not even comparably cute to other loids, leave them to be forgotten.

Meiko, Kaito, and Gumi took a while to get popular so don't give up hope!

>>18208018
What's a una? Is it edible?

>>18208230
How inspirational. Work hard and don't give up, and someday you may be as popular as Kaito.

>>18208271
KAITO's popularity looks great to people that like VOCALOID like Chika or Piko.

>>18208256
Your a edible!

I only care about these VOCALOIDs.

Where can I buy the big, color-changing lightstick?

My favorite producer stopped Vocaloid 4 years ago and I'm still sad about it. Sometimes he doesn't say anything for a while over twitter so I stalk his sister's twitter to know whether he's still alive or not.

Please come back someday.

Come on Len.

I have a very difficult time telling apart Rin and Len nowadays

Don't mind me, just posting the objectively best Rin song.

Rin has a bow. That's the only difference.

It’s amazing how well Miku works for Spanish, much better than English even with the English voicebank.

Said that, as a Spaniard I want to kill the guy that made that song.

>Said that, as a Spaniard I want to kill the guy that made that song.
I probably understand why but as a non-spanish (nor english even) speaker I think it sounds pretty fine. I'd love to see some Spanish or Mexican producer getting popular.

>>18209224
It sounds more than fine. Japanese and Spanish are phonetically identical so it works amazingly. It’s just that hearing Miku singing in my own language is very cringy. Same feeling as when watching anime dubbed.

>I'd love to see some Spanish or Mexican producer getting popular.
Same, but not with Miku. I’d rather have Maika instead.
