No.855
I prefer UTAU Teto to SV Teto. I like how SV sounds but her pitch is lower (that probably has something to do with the voice provider aging though) and has too much vibrato.
No.859
I never liked ECHO and I kind of don't get why it gets so much praise… there's nothing about it that stands out to me, except I guess the PV?
No.860
>>859For me it's mainly because it's one of those songs that make me want to jump and sing my heart out. I grew up listening to it so I know the lyrics from start to finish. I think the reason it's popular is both because of the PV and because it was released at the peak of the "edgy" era of Vocaloid. Calalini had come out 2 years earlier and Wysteria had come out the same year.
No.861
Not much of an unpopular opinion but i dislike "Miku oo ee oo". I respect Anamanaguchi as a band but that song screams "I was forced to write this" and Miku's EN voicebank sounds really bad.
The only people i've seen who can make EN Miku sound good are SAWTOWNE and CircusP.
No.862
>>860That's totally fair, I think my issue is that I was in high school when it came out, and it was like "why is this song so simple?". It makes more sense as the kind of thing that you'd watch when you're a kid first getting into Vocaloid. There's definitely a lot of songs I like because they're really nostalgic.
No.863
i think i understand why someone wouldn't like english/non-asian-language vocaloid songs, but i think a lot of it is because they only look at the most popular shit. a lot of getting popular is about appealing to edgy 13 year olds rather than making good or unique music - or it's just about making the most boring sounding electronic pop music imaginable (though i do understand this has the widest appeal). good producers get overshadowed a lot by the crap… just searching "synthv original" and sorting by upload date gives some pretty good results
also don't get me wrong i like edgy music but i want it to come from an actual place in someone's heart rather than just 'there are bodies on da wall and i am eating rats in my silly bowl' as lyrics

>>859Well, for starters, the era of ENGloid ECHO belongs to was remarkable for having many producers who were for the most part unskilled, underage and only attracted other English speakers from within the fandom itself. The two best English producers back then were Crusher and Circus and they just so happened to form a duo at the time called "CIRCRUSH" which made ECHO. For the time it was a really well produced song from the English side of the Vocaloid community, the music video is iconic and so is the song's chrous so it ended up becoming a hit in both the EN/JP sides with some popular producers and utaites covering and remixing the song (most notably Giga/REOL).
The CIRCRUSH duo lasted about 2 years because they had a fight but I can't recall the details. Most people attribute the song to just Crusher but Circus did the mastering and tuning.
No.1002
I kinda hate how nowadays a song's popularity primarily depends on how appealing the music video is. Butcher Vanity being the biggest example i can think of. Not that the song itself is bad but let's be honest, the only reason an engloid song managed to become that popular in the current year is because of the music video. Most engloid producers are still stuck in 2013 and use static images/drawings for their songs.
No.1004

>It just feels like it was made to bait people into making animation memesThis is the fate of any recent vocaloid song with a music video, look at lagtrain, kyu kurarin, rabbit hole and mesmerizer. I wouldn't say it's a bad thing though, unless the song is sexual because it'll just make kids shit their diapers and act like hyper religious moms. Animation memes have been around since the Flipnote era if not earlier.

>>1155I am an artist before a website manager (I did the artwork featured on the frontpage as of January 2025) so i have basically looked up to Wur for as long as i can remember, i've also dabbled in NSFW artwork before so that's how we met, and he just so happens to be friends with Beat. Again, lost contact with them both, so contacting them again when they probably don't even remember me is hopeless so i'm not even gonna bother. Also i was already familiar with Beat's work before he was a producer because aside from an artist i was also heavily involved in the OTOMAD scene circa 2015-2018, which Beat also belonged to around that time - you probably recognize him for doing the audio for some of Mowtendoo's videos and i believe he also contributed to Siivagunner around that time although i never really followed that channel so i could be wrong.
No.1182
I don't like how a lot of modern vocaloid songs feel like they're specifically made to go viral, especially after Mesmerizer. You've got these earworms with animated PVs and dances featuring Miku or Teto (or both) and every time I hear them they just feel so forced.

i hope it doesn't sound bad as i don't mean to offend (it's a question), but i don't know why the current community considers ruko as bigender or intersex. is it because they want to disassociate her status from a fantasy nsfw term?
