And some of those videos would feature Microsoft Sam singing with Autotune as if he was a Vocaloid. I think people have made UTAUloids based on him and other Microsoft TTS voices though.
Also Neuro-sama who isn't a vocal synth but also kinda is one at the same time is trained on Microsoft Azure TTS samples if I'm not mistaken.

No.26634
>>26632I think all the voice providers from the Vocaloid era (those whose identities have been revealed at least) are alive. But there are UTAUs with deceased voice providers.
Siinamota for example had one, although i forgot what it was called. There's Gil Qing whose voice provider died and was released posthumously by his brother.

There's the line about the three-legged cat's collar thrown on a tree, and something being thrown into a fire. Much of lyrics evoke both ceremonial music and songs used as part of children's games. I get a clear imagine of children dancing around a bonfire while the cat gets cooked alive. The fandom wiki quotes Hachi saying "he meant to depict the cruelty of innocent children." I think this interpretation fits more closely.
I imagine the child prostitution thing might be a myth that western audiences came up with because they didn't have access to a translation of the extra captions, which aren't part of the lyrics. But I'm also not very confident that I'm right. It's already quite an unsettling song so I can see why people might come up with something like that. I really like it though, and the brutal honesty of depicting the dark side of innocence really resonates with me for some reason. I feel all kinds of uncomfortable given how other people interpret it though lol.

>>27310>>27317Admittedly, it might take a bit longer than planned. I do hope to get it out tonight, but on top of the new section with the updates from this week, there's some new weirdness I noticed that has resulted in me adding a bit more. It's basically gotten to the point of me asking why there hasn't been any articles on the Japanese net about this yet. Still planning to publish it anyway, I think I'll be safe, but I'm worried I might see some trouble thinking about it.
No.27446
>>27445Not that anon but unless you use a tripcode like you're doing right now, no one really knows who you are. You could just make a different thread for it (assuming it doesn't break the no drama/gossip rule).

>>27449Then why are there tripcodes?
No.27459
>>27449I get where this anon's coming from, as on oldfag to anonymous image boards we treat anons using trip codes differently in general, because the idea is that it goes against the spirit of an anonymous imageboard. We probably still hold that stigma deep down. Even so though, it doesn't really matter in the end IMO and I'm guilty of it because people identify me through my posting habits anyway.
No.27461
>>27459To be honest I don't mind it even as an oldfag myself, but it could also be that I never really minded tripfags in the first place. I remember /jp/ having a lot back in the day.
Either way 39chan isn't 4chan. I think tripfags are fine so long as they're creators like Hioka who posts here every once in a while or producers.

Tbh I only use my trip code when I feel I need to add credibility or it pertains to an activity that I already do publicly. Majority of the time I’m just Mikudayo lol
This article is going up under my name regardless. It needs to be my blog so it has a bit more credibility than a thread. I’m scared of running into issues but if they do come my way, I’m willing to fight it.
I literally have nothing to lose if they try anything and everything I have is stuff that’s already been made public. If something happens, it’s not in their favour. Also like, I don’t think they lurk on here. The CEO is too busy live streaming to give a shit.

>>27473>when I feel I need to add credibilityThe entire value of anonymous posting is that posts should speak for themselves and aren't tied to the credibility of a user name or identity. At that point, we should all be posting with names and treating this like a forum, if identity is that tethered to what we're all saying. If you can't provide evidence in a post itself to support an argument or discussion without putting your name on it, what value does that post really have other than inflating an ego or appealing to authority?
To clarify for
>>27451, it's always been fine on any BBS to use a tripcode when there's a purpose, like if you're organizing something, running a Q&A, or anywhere a persistent identity might be useful. Using them as a crutch makes posting about the posters themselves, the same way you might deride someone using an avatar for every post.
Sorry to /meta/ this thread though.
No.27478
>>27477If it had anything to do with inflating ego, I wouldn't be posting here in the first place lol I get why you feel that way though. I just genuinely feel attaching some sort of name helps it sound like I'm not pulling shit outta my ass.
To keep this somewhat back on topic, I've basically been doing a full re-write, no slacking on my end. This is currently the word count. I can't remember the exact character limit here, but this is one of the reasons why I don't put a thread here. Not that it would be a bad idea to make a thread here, but it would be better to make a thread to discuss this thing when I'm done rather than put this whole thing in a thread here.
Admittedly hoping people get a kick when they see the thumbnail for this thing bahaha.
