>>14488 I'll be honest i don't like most Miku x Teto songs, i think those types of duets are overdone. But this song was pretty inoffensive and catchy and i really can't imagine hating it for any reason other than it using the Mesmerizer formula. There's nothing sexual about it and the "racist" elements people are complaining about have been done for years in so much media. It's a cute little song tbh.
>>14498 egyptian culture and clothes have been depicted in media ages before the source material of that animation even existed. and nothing in the osiris dance music video is even referencing that ankha video in the first place.
>>14472 As far as I know it is literally a reskinned Vocaloid 4 but with support for V2 voicebanks. >>14512 >NT I thought NT is only for Piapro Studio NT?
>>14515 V4 supports V2 vbs by default for reference. Same with V3, you just need to use import codes first. It's a default vocaloid function removed in V5.
We should have more Nurse Robot originals this year. She's the current most popular wholoid after Gumi and I think she has potential to become as big as Rei.
>>14567 Probably Neru if we're talking about vocaloids aside from Teto that got some love that year I don't have high hopes for this year but I would like to see more Nurse Robot, IA, Gumi, even Koto honestly
>>14581 If you're a new producer I think people would probably find out that you pirated him but even then I doubt they're gonna care (unless you monetize your song). It's not 2011 anymore.
>>14580 If you're not a well established producer using an actual wholoid can seriously affect your outreach. Oftentimes you can see small producers getting the majority of their views on a Teto video, not because it's their best one, but because she is super popular right now. I agree for big producers though, I'd love to see more Defoko, it feels like she lost her gimmick (girl) to Rei so now barely anyone makes songs with her anymore.
>>14589 KAT was a bit bigger though, I remember watching Dizzy Paranoia Girl when it came out. Also Affection Addiction was part of Vocagathering so it got promoted there, that's how I found it originally
>>14598 keep making things even if you suck shit cause eventually you are gonna get better at not sucking shit. when you stop sucking shit or show signs of not sucking shit more people will start getting their eyes on you.
I think this is my favorite thing to come out of the MikuTeto thing. But I might be biased because DEVO and Talking Heads are two of my favorite bands.
>>14598 The only possible ways to get noticed significantly are to either get the attention of a big Western producer organically (Vane is one of the most likely to make you notable) or trend hopping (yellow background, Triple Baka, etc) You can also play on controversy but that's worked for very few producers long-term, like Angelbrained. If you get blackballed by the Western community even once it's usually over, though. Even for minor infractions, even years after the fact you'll be banned from most spaces in the community and ignored.
>>14598 About the "befriending producers" part, socmed is good for that, people will start wanting to work with you if you seem nice/supportive/easygoing/funny/etc A lot of western producers break in that way. Even people who aren't that outgoing can make it work as long as they're chill and paying attention to events and such
>>14610 There's a few things but this isn't /g/ and I don't want to start anything, but simply put a lot of it boils down to an unhealthy obsession with GHOST and Team 6x111 >>14608 It's a bad idea but I've seen it in (very rare, maybe only 3 cases) cause a video to get a surge in views, which is the only reason I mentioned it. I still wouldn't recommend it
>>14646 They're not gonna use him unless he's on a mainstream one like SV or V6. ACE gets shit for pandering to AIbros so most of the community hates it and the other engines are just too obscure.
>>14660 >Song by a well known producer >9th most used loid for the year Mocabros eating good tonight. Maybe one day I'll come across a Moca song on my own. She could make it big this year. I don't have any art of her to congratulate her with, and I only have picture of my wife and Moca's friends celebrating the new year's. Moca is my wife's (IA) best friend's (Yukari) friend's (Maki) friend, so they're so far apart that I will be surprised if I ever see them together.
>>14619 >>14625 Defoko is 7th?!?!? This is a big surprise to me, I would never have guessed she is used more than Rei, or that she would make the list at all for that matter. Maybe Rei is more popular with bigger producers so it skews my perception?
>>14652 Never understood this because it seems all vsynths are pro-AIbro now. Dreamtonics sponsored someone who supports AI image generation at one point. Vocalochanger seems like something made to please investors, no one asked for it.
>>14668 Even though she's popular, I think Rei is kinda hard to use? Compared to Defoko, there's not as many people who stick with her after one or two songs
>>14672 It's not as black and white as it's often discussed imo. AIbro money is a thing and there's numerous deals happening in the background, but you won't directly see a lot of AIbro shit on the market cause it sucks and burns money.
While trying to find an image of the new HiBy Digital x Miku collab that came out I found this Miku themed Sony Walkman. Any clue how old this is and if its still being sold somewhere?. It appears to be from the early 2010's.
>>14707 She was always the least popular cryptonloid, but she peaked in the early V2 era. You'd see her treated as one of the "main cast" in a way that doesn't really happen anymore. She was more popular than Teto and Gumi for a while, to put it in perspective.
>>14723 Ui is right there anon. She might not be in the top 10 but she's definitely popular and has had many songs last year (one of which was at the top of the charts not too long ago). LeuR had a couple semi popular demos then vanished never to be seen again.
>>14724 Just referring to the ones that didn't make it. It's hard to imagine a version of the newcomer list that isn't mostly SV. Also yeah >>14725 people turbospammed CASE covers for a week and then he became irrelevant
>>14753 Honestly I'm kinda surprised we don't have more voicebanks that aim for the same audience Len appeals to. The closest I can think is Zhiyu Moke
>>14819 I wouldn't say it's bigger. It has the same appeal as those Loquendo videos that latinos love and those pre-voiceroid Yukkuri text to speech videos.
>>14819 It sure feels like it. The amount of voiceroid theaters featuring Yukari is monumental compared to the vocaloid songs featuring Yukari. I'm sure the Kotonohas have her beat with songs in recent times
>>14826 I spaced about Zundamon for some reason. Yeah she's on top of that hill for sure. But when WhiteCUL gets her V6 - which will still be a thing shut up - she'll top the charts for sure, trust
>>14840 No? I don't think anything has been made offical about their relation to each other. Maybe if they stayed within the same company it would be diffrent.
>>14848 They're both developed as a pair (though end up being split and adppted by two companies), so they must be related. Every loid (that I can remember lmao) developed as a pair are basically siblings.
>>14858 Voiceroid is pretty much a Japan-only fandom. As popular as Teto is, people still upload more nico videos of Yukari doing random shit than Teto songs
>>14856 >Mai >Mascotless loid >17th How is she doing this well? Was Yamaha right all along? That loids are just tools who don't need mascots to be popular?
>>14861 English-language talk banks would change the game. I mean Talkloid videos are pretty popular in the English-speaking fandom despite the lack. I have a hyper casual friend who prefers Chis-a because of them.
>>14982 They're a teacher-student pair, yes. I know AHS has zero interest in a new Kaai Yuki voicebank but it would be cute if she had a grown up voicebank where she's a teacher/a teacher's aide to Kiyoteru.
>>15006 >>15007 Yeah, getting a silhuette VB after already having an established design isn't that bad. Teto's SV2's design is literally her SV1 design with a different pose which is hardly different
>>15013 They won't call her Kaai Yuki V6, she will just be YUKI and her silhouette will have a generic short hair but will have a red background. She'll be included with the other silhouetteloids in a future update.
>>15017 Nah people would connect the dots, you can't just make a silhuetteloid named YUKI with Kaai Yuki's VP and have it go under the radar. Maybe with a really obscure loid but not her
>>15018 Chances are the diehard Yuki fans will recognize her but the casual listeners won't, because she will probably sound quite different from AI + age. If Yamaha is feeling especially cruel, they might decide to just rename her and not even give her the red background. How many people would still recognize her then?
>>15019 If the diehard fans recognized her then everyone would, because they would plaster her old design all over it. If Yamaha renamed it then I dunno if it even makes sense to talk about it as Yuki anymore, it's just a VP voicing separate voicebanks, similar to the Kagamine twins, so I don't think there's a Yuki to recognize there
The point of a silhouetteloid is to be unrecognizable and generic, because Yamaha hates characters because they're "unprofessional". Although I think that stance might be changing since we got asa.
Im surprised it didn't happen earlier. Had Miku never been released things would've been different but Miku essentially changed Vocaloid forever and no one really sees it as this professional software to replace singers that it was originally pitched as.
>>15033 Kinda true, they're well-known there thanks to an obnoxious number of paid reviews lol. It seems like the "pros" have a big 3 of ACE, SynthV, and EmVoice
It's unfortunate that ACE has the reputation it does because that's where all the VIPPERLOIDs are ending up. Ruko, Ritsu, and possibly more in the future.
>>15036 They've been around for a bit, pretty much doing Vocaloid without the weeb stuff. In fact they infamously gatekept Vocaloid fans when they were first starting out, but they ended up being profitable anyway, go figure.
>>15040 At one point there was an interview going around where the CEO bashed Vocaloid for being too focused on weebs, although I think that's been taken down. Around that time it became clear that they were repeatedly unfollowing Vocaloid fans, refusing demo song offers from them, stuff like that. Now almost no vocaPs will touch it
>>15041 I guess i can sort of understand where they were coming from. Vocal synthesis didn't start as a weeb/otaku phenomenon, it was Crypton that made it into one.
the other day, I was reflecting on the Vocaloid community today, criticising songs inspired by mesmerizer, or the mere existence of the mikuteto duo. but from 2012 until a certain point in 2014, it was very popular to make songs with fast BPM (or, with a BPM that goes from slow to very fast) in conjunction with a music video with lots of angles, animations in the lyrics and flashing lights. history repeats itself, but many newgens did not experience that era or don't recall it... of course, it is up to each to decide what they think about the quantity of mikuteto songs, but trends have been present in the community since always
>>15083 I personally don't like them because I can't stand SV Teto. She can sound good but most people don't even bother tuning her so in most songs I can't stand her. I don't know how SV2 compares to SV1 but hopefully the new voicebank will solve that problem.
>>15083 I wasn't into vocal synths as early as 2014 yet, but were the top spots as dominant as today as well?
Referring to >>14856, Miku is on top by a lot as expected, but Teto alone has roughly as many songs that came out last year as the 4 other loids that come after her combined, maybe that could be part of the issue?
>>15083 I just think it has become stale. We had two whole years of MikuTeto, I wanna see different duets like the ones Atena has been doing like GumiRin or UnaYuki. Give me variety.
>>15089 Miku will always be #1 regardless of whatever shiny new voicebank takes the 2nd spot in the future, because Miku is the face of Vocaloid. It's like how you think of Mickey Mouse when you think of Disney despite them having hundreds of animated films. Without her there'd be no such thing as a Vocaloid scene.
>>15095 Yeah, Miku is pretty much the mascot for Vocaloid. It'd be impossible to dethrone her. Not even Teto could, and even if she did it wouldn't last long because remember that time Luka beat Miku.
>>15131 CYVA used to be uncredited too but then Jenny Shima herself leaked that she voiced her on Instagram lol As for Ann, she is voiced by someone named Jody but that's all we know
>>15073 If you want a serious answer, no is the explanatory particle and da is the copula, combining gives you an assertive, explanatory tone (like saying "It's because, the thing is that" in English.) Or just think of it as a cute verbal tick because it makes no sense to attach it to every utterance.
>>15134 I remember reading that Ann could be (and I'm not confirming that it is) Jodi Martin but there's a couple inconsistencies like her name being spelled Jodi instead of Jody and her voice not being a 100% match.
I'm trying to find an UTAU original song. It's like a bossa nova beat but drumless and it's also a chiptune. I forgot which UTAU sings it but there was a Nurse Robot cover that's more popular than the original.
>>15310 A couple days ago, Youtube disabled the option to upload SRV3 subtitles (which is the format usually used for those custom subtitles with cool styling). So most people assume now it's just a matter of time before those subs are displayed as plain old regular subs instead.
>>15319 subtitles weren't meant to be replacements for the annotations, they used to coexist, but if they're removing the customizability then there goes the last part of youtube that you could still customize. sucks that this is what the internet is becoming but oh well, that's a topic for the /g/ thread.
>>14587 Believe it or not the VIPPERs still get originals but none of them end up being popular. Maybe it's only a matter of time before we see a Ritsu original with an interesting music video top the charts.
>>15422 No. Maybe in a very specific cut like SV Teto having more english songs then V2 Miku in a week or more views during popular songs debuts like birdbrain or teto 31st, but if we add up all the voicebanks Teto still behind
>>15422 It could happen if Teto gets a new VB (which won't happen for a while since SV2 already happened). Luka managed to beat Miku for a while because of release hype.
