The infamous Skype sound in her recordings that people always complain about isn't even a skype sound but loud reverb (she was likely recorded in some sort of house rather than a professional studio).

I kinda wish I knew how to get the speech portion to sound better with this, I wish I had more pitch control with it, since I added straight speaking bits. I could probably edit it in post, which I'm already doing since the program doesn't like the fact that "a" in Toki Pona is a separate single word sound and it either makes a giant gap or tries to blend it against the surrounding words depending on how I try and fix it.

These fake Mesmerizer lost media videos have been popping up in my recommended for a while now and while I love the overall art style of them it was driving me nuts that not a single one of them got the musical style of 2010s Vocaloid right or would use KAFU (who didn't exist in the early 2010's) as Neru's voice so I tried my best here by listening to a lot of OwataP, LamazeP & other producers from that era.

I want to work on music but I've hit a block. I can either make an instrumental in 2-3 days or not at all. When I feel comfortable I'll probably post the thing I'm struggling with. It goes on way too long and I can't figure out what to do vocally. The song is intended for a male character I based on Miki 7 years ago, but Hayden and Kevin are both fitting voice-wise and I'm leaning towards Hayden. I feel a bit bad because I also have a lot of rarely-used VBs including Miki V2, but this probably not going to fit any of them and I'm tired of my originals capping at 500 views as much as I'm scared of what popularity may bring.

This question is for those of you who have your music up on Spotify, iTunes, etc. What distributor do you use?
I've heard bad things about Distrokid, Antijoy, etc. Back in the day I would use Amuse (which is now paid) and Routenote which is free. Amuse was alright but they wouldn't let me submit very short songs such as album interludes. With Routenote I remember they wanted me to make useless changes to my cover artwork, for example I remember one of my singles had an album cover with noise and they rejected it based on that alone. Any suggestions?.

I haven't been able to get too much out of her, especially since she's been going through some shit, but I've been talking to Takoyaki since she gave a warning on Twitter. She's been writing an article, but to summarize everything we've discussed, Western distributors started using AI Vocal detection services. Some services might be okay with vocal synths, but because of these new detection services, it will take up more time, effort, and money just to distribute using a Western service.
For options, she said there were 2: either we all start transitioning to Japanese distribution services as long as they take non-JP bank info or PayPal, or an existing or new western distribution service starts making partnerships with vocal synth companies to make distribution more accessible for us. Especially since some companies only allow commercial use of their products through specific services.
The only one I know of that works for us is Big Up, and they are free, but hard to use. We're kinda screwed otherwise though.

Honestly the whole mess would be easily avoided if someone started a distributor specifically for overseas Vocaloid producers, make life significantly easier for everyone. Closest thing we got so far is that one new streaming platform project but that’s a single platform and they don’t distribute to others from the looks of things.
