Are those little boys?

Its fans keep spreading it, forcing it.

>>9160205
I think you already know the answer to that.

>>9160222
I know absolutely nothing about Voicaloids except for what Miku looks like.

>>9160226
i'm pretty sure shotas are the only thing in japanese media that wear booty shorts and thigh high socks. lolis just wear miniskirts instead

I found an article about Project Diva that touched on this subject, albeit briefly.

>How this came to be was by a combination of both smart business tactics and perfect timing, although luck might be the better term for the latter. Crypton Future Media was responsible for this phenomenon, and the reason for it becoming so overwhelmingly successful that it's already caught the eyes of several people overseas was very, very simple - instead of just simply basing the synthesizer's voice samples taken directly from a real person like it's been traditionally done with the series' first-generation software, they took it a few steps further by trying to make the product appeal to those within the doujin community.

>And how they accomplished this was also just as simple: they created a manga-esque illustration of the character that was supposed to represent the synthesized voice you were going to buy. In order to appeal to the typical Japanese nerd, they decided that the character would obviously be female and have three fetishes (or four if you're into that one) tacked onto her but isn't strongly emphasized unless the end user really wanted to: zettai ryouiki (the area of uncovered thigh between the skirt and the knee sock), detached sleeves, twin pigtails, and a sailor school uniform. They also decided to take the samples from a voice actress since it tends to be more cost-effective for producers to have them sing the anime theme songs instead of hiring another singer to do that job.

sounds about right.

I really love shota.

>>9160299
Wrong wrong wrong!

These people know NOTHING of vocaloid history.

Here is how it began

Meiko was a success (meaning sold 1000 units)

Kaito was a failure (Sold around 500)

Crypton starts the CV series for the new Gen

The first project was Luka (but do to schedule problems with her Seiyuu she would be released much later than the others) then a dual voice pack (Rin and Len) and then Miku.

Miku was released first because she was the most simple bank but for unknown reason Miku sold WAY more than expected around (10,000 units) she was popular from the get go but once Levan Polka was released she hit meme status

The rest is history.

How did touhou get so popular?

>>9160898
this one does not to be explained the way I explained the vocaloid history because tohos popularity was by one little event.

Iosys did a remix of Toho song and it got popular and people played EoSD

>>9160869
why are there like six and a half male vocaloids and why is len the only popular one?

>>9160921
Kaito is popular as well he had a spike in popularity soon after somebody made a response video to miku singing higurashi's "you" where he replied "I was out getting ice cream" (his now signature item)

Gakupo is also popular but usually potrayed as a character to be made fun of.

The rest of the male vocaloids don't interest most fans.

>>9160956
why hasn't anyone done a vocaloid cover of wu tang or biggie smalls?

>>9160963
Rap music is very hard to do with most vocaloid so usually Len and Kaito are used for it but it sounds really choppy and unnatural even when tuned well so covers of that genre are not done much but if search hard you may find some.

>>9160301
one for the road
even in official media len is really gay

>>9161019
I honestly think that all boys, 2D and 3D, should be really gay.

>>9160190
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!perfectly androgynous!!!

just like i predicted!!!

wwww

>>9161047
oh, i'll second that.

>>9161054
sparky whasup

>>9161057
I really like it when little boys have nail polish, for some reason.

>>9161064
i wear nail polish. fingers and toes. usually black.

>>9161074
You better be hot, because, if you're not, it's just creepy.

>>9161074
goth or emo?

>>9161078
i am, but i'm not a camwhore

>>9161081
neither, it's just that most of my clothing is black or white so I never have to worry about the color not working with the rest of my clothing.

>>9161086
Are you gay? Just curious, no insult.

I wear fake nails with sunflower patterns and jewelry on them.....

Am I cool yet?

>>9161098
No. Nail polish can be really hot if done well and on someone attractive. Fake nails are just slutty, lazy, and disgusting.

>>9161095
the gayest.

>>9161098
no, sounds really cheesy.

>>9161104
Okay.jpg

Would help me to say I do the patterns myself and glue the jewelry myself?(I learned from gyaru mags)

>>9161120
It makes it not lazy, but the rest still stands.

>>9161120
It would have to be extremely sophisticated to look good. It's unlikely that you're so talented, and then you'd still need the look to back it up.

>>9161124
Well I guess I am a bit slutty

>>9161104
fake nails can look really nice. the way you can do them varies as much as the ways you can do natural nails. hell you wouldn't even tell they're fake in most cases, people usually go for natural looking ones when they get them.
OTT style nails are a different thing, but they can be cute too, i think. but i can see how one can not like them, seeing as lots of them are kitschy as fuck.


>Would help me to say I do the patterns myself and glue the jewelry myself?(I learned from gyaru mags)
actually, it probably makes it worse. most people who the nails themselves and are not professionals are not very skilled...

I like nails like this.

>>9161146
well, they're cohesive. still dumb though.

naaaaails....

>>9161177
....

>>9161202
I don't know how to interpret this post.

>>9161207
Sorry but i love androgynous people....

>>9161212
I used to think that too, and then I realized I was only interested in little boys.

>>9161224
I fucking love tomboys

>>9161224
You're a pervert.

>>9161234
Define "pervert". And that seems hypocritical coming from you.

>>9161234

>>9161235
A person with nonmainstream erotic and platonic attractions.

>And that seems hypocritical coming from you

I have no idea what you're talking about.
