For me it's Momocashew/Cassie Wei, one of the most important Oliver producers. She's still active as a musician as the lead singer of Mili but she's been retired from the Vocaloid scene for nearly a decade and also has a child now.

Koronba

Does supercell still make music?

Technically not retired but i miss him so much

I just remembered that YY was one of the most popular Vocaloid songs that Youtube would throw in my recs before I stopped caring about Vocaloid (that would change years later after i discovered Inabakumori). I decided to look into 23.exe a while back and found out he released an album called CLIPPING GAMING in 2021 and after that he completely vanished without even leaving a trace.

So what happened to this guy? Did he silently retire? busy with life? died?.

Guys I think we just lost CircusP

>>2300
Unfortunate if true. He is the only big producer left still making original songs with the English vocaloids instead of succumbing to SV. At least we got that Piko version of Breathe i guess.

Nijisanji is aids so part of me feels a bit bad for him, but i hope he still manages to have a good time as a vtuber.

>>2301
It's unknown whether he has fully retired or will continue to make music like DEMONDICE/Mori Calliope. One thing's for certain though, this IS CircusP.

>>2300
>Nijisanji
Oh no…

>>2300
YOU'RE FUCKING KIDDING.

>>2300
Wtf

"go to hell" is basic. "I hope your favorite English vocaloid producer joins nijisanji EN" is smart. it's possible. it's terrifying

He's not quitting vocaloid though is he?

>>2300
Was never a fan of his music but Nijisanji lmao. That's a fate worse than death.

Does anybody know what happened to apfel note, the creator of Paris Cinema Girl? They made two songs, one of which was included in Project DIVA and then completely vanished(?)
https://vocadb.net/Ar/15642

>>2300
So what happened in the end? Did CircusP retire?

I miss Kaoling a lot. She really was the master of Vocafolk and now there aren't that many producers who still compose in that genre, let alone any promiment ones.

>>2548

Time will tell if he keeps making Vocaloid music but Niji EN seems to be his current dayjob. His last work seems to be Electric Weekend Zone which was a Sekai comm and Flavor Foley collab.

People say he's a music making machine tho so I don't think he's leaving the scene anytime soon.

>>2853
can somebody explain to me wtf flavor foley is? is it a producer? a circrush style group? a record label?

>>2896
Flavor Foley is a producer circle consisting of three people: JamieP, Vane Lily, and Ricedeity. JamieP and Vane Lily are independent Vocaloid producers in their own right, with Ricedeity being a prominent Vocaloid artist. Flavor Foley is the name they use when the three of them collaborate.

kagomeP :(

>>767
Machigerita. VocaRock is such a rare genre that it's hard to find anything that sounds similar, even if a lot of Vocaloid, especially early Vocaloid, is similarly quite dark.

>>7786
I wouldn't say it's rare but its definitely less common nowadays and a lot of rock prods have switched to either pop (PinocchioP, Neru) or rock but with poppier structures (Deco)

>>7834
Good point, I admittedly don't really like Deco's modern work.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=RTyQpDPzhMY

>>7838
His old work is great

I miss whoo.

>>7855
oh so this is how i find out that whoo is retired

>>7856
Yeah, he's been retired for a couple of years now. Apparently he was supposed to release an album as his last, but it was never released. I would love to give it a listen, I've already listened to All Things Must Pass for the millionth time now.

this guy is going in here too. some context: Pusu was a composer for TUYU until he was arrested for atempted murder breaking up the TUYU group and now he made a letter saying he deleted everything because the current vocaloid industry is trash and you can't get views unless you make a joke song with Teto dancing (follow trends)

Easy

Also fuck Pusu, if that's him I'm not surprised he tried coming back. Only the dead leave forever.

>>8013
How did this guy even get out of prison? Was he even prosecuted for it?

...also is it wrong to kinda agree with him? I won't say that the industry is dead or complete garbo but it feels kinda bland for the past year or so anyways. Nothing terrible but nothing too impressive. Maybe I'm too stubborn and cynical.

>>8021
You don't have to be a good person to be right

I thought you were joking but i checked his channel and it really is just AZARI ripoffs with AIgen thumbnails. lol, lmao even.

i messed up some things, yes this is a random guy who uses AI art and it is venting about current vocaloid BUT the TUYU account replied to him saying something like "you're gross never come back" wich COULD be Pusu who allegedly got arrested for attempted murder and caused the TUYU group to stop making music

>>2300
Really miss this fucker

>>8032
Pusu retweeted him

Is it too early to say picdo?

https://youtube.com/watch?v=aQydST9sCPU

I will always miss Kururingo/Marui Yukiyoshi. I'm sad that she felt the need to take down all her songs. It's been so long since she disappeared and there were a ton of rumors about why she left that I don't even think there's an official reason. The biggest theories is that either a fan of hers tried to take an attempt on her life or she got harassed by fans. Don't take this as fact but I remembered there being something about "poisonous marshmallows" so maybe anons her harassing her via that Japanese Marshmallow website where people can send you questions? Anyways it sucks and I miss her

>>2300
It still hurts

You know, for a sec i had completely forgotten CircusP is no longer a Vocaloid producer, fuck man

>>2300
I miss CircusP

https://youtube.com/watch?v=m8cxxIflbGU

>>11279
>>11401
considering that he is currently working with nijisanji as a VTuber, i wonder if the company is treating him well or not, given nijisanji's terrible reputation (especially its english branch)....

>>11423
they better be

Technically not retired but still inactive, I miss Crusher

>>2292
Probably retired. If he had died i feel like we would've known by now.

>>2300
We are living in a post-CircusP phase of the WVf and I think that's quite sad

https://youtube.com/watch?v=nrsr_-QXCv4

>>16328
He will be back

>>16335
When

>>16337
When we need him the most but expect him the least

https://youtube.com/watch?v=6zL6Ac1em4w

I miss Wataame. He was one of the first few producers who introduced me to my wife with Four Seasons Song (

https://youtube.com/watch?v=g--Qmi048Vw [Embed]

). He left with a goodbye song at least.

>>15070
Crusher isn't 100% retired. They just have been making and prioritizing original, non-Vocaloid music now. I feel like they could come back with a "song of the year" if they wanted to.

>>16348
So he became like Hachi and ryo then?

>>16351
Hachi and Ryo are no longer involved with the scene but she still makes Vocaloid stuff once in a while

>>16338
The EN side is a bit stagnant right now imo. A lot of the popular songs sound the same. We would benefit from having him back.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=hwfkWV2VnB0

>>7780
I know he's co-producing for Nunununu now but god dammit I miss him

https://youtube.com/watch?v=mQryrtN1RWg

The impact Tohma has had on Vocaloid despite being active for only three years is crazy. Envy Catwalk, Skeleton Orchestra and Lilia, Hanged Girl in the Haunted House, etc... Apparently he's under a new alias now "Gyoson" but it's not Vocaloid. Wish him the best

Does Mochiutsune count as retired? I miss him

>>16973
You could say the same about Koronba. The impact he had on UTAU with just a few songs was insane and it even spawned a subgenre of Koronba inspired producers.

>>16973
>>17107
If we're adding onto this then wowaka also only made Vocaloid songs for three years

>>17111
Huh, as a kid it felt longer than that

Ryo's comeback remix has finally reached 10m+ views

Still miss him

>>17527
I don't think he's actually coming back, anon

Is LamazeP still around?

>>18389
His last upload was about two years ago, not counting the mcdonalds thing

>>18389
He got taken by the VRchat menace and IIRC he stated that's why he hasn't been making music lately.

>>18404
well that sucks

>>18404
Just need a way to produce music in VRChat then

https://youtube.com/watch?v=qm2vg8Jncpo

>>19076
Doable

>>11257
I don't know if Picdo is coming back but it looks like they recently relisted all their videos so hopefully that's a good sign.

>>19093
holy shit

>>19093
that's a good sign at least

Great, now give me back Crusher and i can die happy

>>19139
Yeah he is back but i feel like its temporary and he'll go on yet another long hiatus again

>>19146
Crusher still makes music though, she just kinda drops every 3 years so it makes her look inactive but she's still around

>>19139
Don't give me hope

https://youtube.com/watch?v=lOwCUMprBoY

>>19139
To be fair he never "really" left, about a year ago he collabed with FF on this song

To me it seems he just does one song per year these days

>>19190
wish he did solo stuff again tbh

Does anybody know what happened to Toraboruta/Travolta/Volta, the producer that made Toeto?

>>19667
Probably just lost interest in the mid-2010s, like a lot of old producers
He was doing nothing but commissions for a long time before he disappeared

Sad if true
I love his style

Give me Ult back

Just a general statement but I bet some producers just delete their accounts and make a new one with a different name sometimes.

>>22889
This is true, kemu and inabakumori did it off the top of my head

>>22890
Slave V.V.R. too

Minato will return next month with a remake of Magnet. This version has new art and updated production (strings are audible in the teaser).

>>22887
And so it happened

Your fortune: Good news will come to you by mail

>>23826
Was minato ever retired?

I wonder where Toraboruta is these days :(

>>23851
Not really but he goes on hiatus a lot

I never understood where people got that 23.exe quit to pursue other music opportunities. I feel like if that was the case we would've known about it like we know that HACHI became Kenshi Yonezu and Momocashew became Mili.

>>26694
It's not impossible but I wasn't able to find anything other than total speculation

>>19667
Also curious about this but it seems not even the Japanese know

Not a producer but i wonder what riotoqll is up to these days

>>27293
She's still active on Twitter but hasn't posted original art in a long time

Dammit man, I'm still sad about Neru (the producer not the fanloid). I'm glad he's alive and well but with his condition I doubt we will ever get new music from him ever again.

>>22887
Beau Jordan might be back but I still miss Ctrl Ult Del

>>29634
Same

>>29634
To be fair though Ult was just covers and they're doing original stuff now which is neat. I'd rather get originals than covers.

>>20413
Damn i miss you Lamaze

ABM is retired for the remainder of 2026 apparently

>>30859
Why though

>>30859
looks like they also removed everything from spotify/apple music
I wonder why? usually people don't nuke their stuff when they go on hiatus

>>30930
Maybe trying to get a job so hiding social media activities? It also might be a case of a frozen bank account.

>>30930
>>30931
There's a lot of rumors going around. Some say it's because he's been dealing with impersonators, others say he's planning either a rebrand or a big release.

>>30859
No one knows for sure but we do know that he's involved in a legal case due to impersonators stealing YARARARA

ABM's account on Twitter is still active and he appears to be an at event right now

>>30959
I just think he isn't used to the popularity and its taking a toll on his mental health. We've seen this happen with Caststation before.

>>30965
many such cases

>>30965
Maybe start saving everything in case it a gets deleted

>>30974
In this case i don't think it's entirely necessary since it only seems to have affected streaming releases

>>30965
It might just be a mix of both here. Popularity and impersonators.

Namitape is retiring after 2026 according to his website

>>31068
Not retiring. He's just changing his name and possibly switching styles.

>>2465
Bumping just to ask the same thing
Did this guy only release two songs and then dip or is it some active producer's alias?

>>31553
No, it really was just a guy who dropped 3 songs and left

Namitape just confirmed that he isn't fully retired and he's just working on a project that doesn't involve music

>>31829
Thank god, i love Nami

https://youtube.com/watch?v=zNHun2nzlHU

>>17106
Apparently the reason he stopped making music is because he's focusing on his 3D game
Still miss him

Its been a long time now. Is anything known about AmeyaP?.

>>32335
He posted something about Silicon Valley on Twitter a few days ago actually. Nothing related to SynthU.

>>32336
At this rate i don't even care about SynthU unless it gives us better OTOing tools
TunelabQ and OpenUTAU already get the job done

>>32345
