Watashi no Koko general, since the project is still active and YOSU still releases music. I think it's a neat little project so i want to share it with you.

>What is Watashi no Koko

Watashi no Koko (formerly Kesson Shoujo) is a fictional experimental / noise / j-pop band from Japan created and managed by Kazuhumi Yosu with artwork generally illustrated by Kurage Nanami or Yosu himself. The vocals are produced using an outdated Japanese vocal synthesizer called LaLaVoice, which is personified as the character and core member of the band Lala.

Unrelated but still relevant information: YOSU has recently started a separate project with Kasane Teto SV called bluessuyo. It's lo-fi country(?)/blues.

Watashi no Koko is comprised of 4 members, with Lala possibly being the most important.
>Lala
She is a personification of the software LaLaVoice released circa 2000-2001. Not all songs are written from her point of view, but when they are they usually deal with topics such as nostalgia, obsoletion, being forgotten, destructive thoughts. Lala failed miserably at what other vocalsynths like Miku succeeded, hence why most songs deal with these topics.
>Kenban Musume (Keyboard Girl)
Her name says it all, she is the keyboardist of the band. There sadly isn't much to her as there is to Lala but hey, she's a cute loli with twintails what else can you ask for?.
>Jishou Imouto (Self-proclaimed sister)
Doesn't do anything. No one even knows whose sister she is. She's cute.
>YOSU
Essentially a cartoony representation of Kazuhumi Yosu, the mastermind behind Watashi no Koko. Depicted as a red faceless rabbit. (From last.fm: He likes to go to public baths, old towns, factories, ruins and etc…… He thought the former name of the band (kesson shoujo) was too cool for them, so he changed that.)

Finally available in my country. It seems to be a chiptune remix of Disgrace with the vocals from the album version. I like how Nanami is becoming the new illustrator for the band. Does me make miss YOSU's doodles a little though.

Are there any other vocaloid or vocal synth projects like this? I like how with WKK it's not just the lyrics that tell a story but also the music itself

New bluessuyo song
>AI art
Just because it's YOSU i'll forgive that
>>
>>310
What happened to it : ( It said it's been removed by the uploader?
>>
>>313
Huh that's odd. It was a song called "My old man". The music video was a slideshow of AI generated pictures of old dudes in Akihabara wearing anime girl shirts.

I'm guessing he'll reupload it later. Otherwise we have more material for >>192.

definitive proof that yosu browses /leek/ if you ask me

Considering this thread is one of the first results for bluessuyo on Google i would not be surprised if he has seen it.


HI YOSU IF YOU READ THIS I LOVE YOUR MUSIC

Nanami is actually YOSU's wife. That's why she's been illustrating all his recent stuff.

Was this revealed to you in a dream or how'd you figure out?

She referred to bluessuyo (YOSU) as her husband on Xitter

He reuploaded it. And just in case he deletes it again I saved and uploaded it to catbox. Feel free to upload it to the Internet Archive or something. That site's on the verge of collapse so i don't know if it'd be a good idea.

It feels like a lot of people discovered Watashi no Koko from Vocaloid but in my case it's Watashi No Koko that got me into Vocaloid. I already knew about Vocaloid before but it's WKK that made me interested in it.

Same here. I discovered the project via Last.fm recommendations. I remember that around 2017-2019 they would show up on Sweet Trip's related artists and while they sound nothing alike that's how I became a fan.

Anything with AI art is more likely to be overlooked from the outset.

I kinda find the Kesson Shojo version of their debut a lot more interesting than the one that was released under WKK

Was this song ever released on an album? It's one of my favorite songs from Watashi No Koko
>>
https://youtube.com/watch?v=qk_Gg76trVw YouTube
>>19954
somehow i've never heard of watashi no koko but was aware of the rin version of this song
>>

Has YOSU ever used Vocaloid or collaborated with a VocaP?
>>
>>21088
Fun fact: I almost collaborated with him but he's going through some heavy art block right now and doesn't have much motivation (i guess it explains the lack of recent music as well)
>>
>>21089
<We could've gotten a Watashi no Koko song with Meaty-P
>>
>>21925
I did end up writing the track, but since I originally intended YOSU to write the lyrics and render Lala's vocals I'm going to have to do it all myself and with another Vocaloid. But don't worry it's gonna come out eventually.
>>
>>22092
I'm interested
