/leek/ - Sand Planet is 8 years old. Do you think it aged well? Was Hachi pretentious about the Vocaloid scene dying? In hindsight, I feel neutral about how has the song has aged. It's like a time capsule of some sort.

If he was then I'm sure he's changed his mind already

I get why it was controversial at first, but it's the only Vocaloid song that captures the feeling of all of your internet friends growing up and getting jobs

It marks the end of an era

It marked the end of one era and the beginning of another. I didn’t appreciate the pessimistic tone and I’m still a little mad, honestly.

Not the way it was intended but now that you mention it

At risk of sounding like a grouch: Hachi was full of it and grabbed on to a convenient meta commentary about Vocaloid's decline that was practically invented for him. I also think most modern retrospectives that treat Sand Planet as a catalyst for Vocaloid's resurgence or a line dividing eras are probably overstated. All that said, it is as much about Vocaloid on Nicodou specifically as it is about Vocaloid as a scene in total, and read from that perspective Nicodou is even more of a sand planet than it was eight years ago, so maybe it does have some truth left in it.

It's worth reading some of the interviews he did around then if you haven't before. https://vgperson.com/vocalinterview.php?view=hachicut2

Kinda true tbh, the Vocaloid fandom leaving hit it like the Tumblr porn ban

You guys ever noticed how Hachi looks almost identical to that Kenshi Yonezu guy? It's scary
