How about we get to post some songs and at least act like we're here to discuss something vaguely related to Vocaloids?

Maybe this is just general craziness, but I'm considering to buy one of these to print my favourite Miku pictures. Mostly Wokada ones.

It's one of those printers for photographies that do not use ink nor toner, but the paper comes with it's own termal ink or something like that. The size of the print is rather small, but also top quality, and Internet pictures don't come with much resolution anyways.

Yep, the best EDM/dub in my personal opinion.

He's a great underdog, definitely deserves more attention, in fact, he just released a new song with a very appropriate name:

>one bad medley defines all the game
But then, cool medley is not bad, is just that they needed to homogenise all the songs it is based on, and in that case in particular, dubstep noises were the way.

Personally, the only thing I complain is about taking away the rolling R's on Rin's Don't Mylist me!. That was uncalled.

I've always wondered how tribal the Vocaloid community is in respect to their corresponding Vocaloids.

A good example to what I'm talking about would be Kagaminefags. They're more often than not so very vocal about their fanaticism and that everything else sucks and can't compare, including you for not worshipping the Kagamines as much as they.

When it comes to myself I have no strong opinion about other Vocaloids, they're just things that exists.

>She can be whatever you want her to be whenever you want.
I'm so glad of that because I imagine her being adopted in Miku's house after temporarily retiring while Crypton fixes her. She tries to cook and do the housework, but she is clumsy so Miku ends up doing the difficult tasks. Miku don't consider her a burden at all, she is glad to have company and thinks the house have becoming a happier place. What Luka didn't know after moving is that Miku becomes very relaxed at home. After a while of being together she just walked around in underwear or with just an apron, like she did when she was alone. Luka has become very anxious because of this and the days pass while thinking if she should say something and if doing that would endanger their friendship.

Thank you for reading my blog.

How do I start making vocaloid music? The pastebin didn't really include any indication of where to find voice banks and shit.

>>16894416

Pretty much same as you, desu. I have some preferences for some over others, based on their voice, but that's about the extent of it.

>>16894571
You start by gathering a group of people, then you all begin reading the bible by taking turns reciting a single word, then spend the next 3 weeks discussing how you felt about it.

After that, you can go into the Vocaloid thread on /jp/ and ask a stupid question, of which I will respond to you because I am as retarded as you are. Then, you can go "oh yes, my precious (You)s" as you drink bleach and I hang myself.

Now get out of /jp/.

>>16894416
I like the others. Not as much as I like Luka, of course.

Can't you imagine them (at least the Crypton ones) as the closest friends of Miku? Because for me it's hard to see them as just things that exists, because they're almost all the time together in songs, pictures, etc.

I have my preferences but I've never been super fanatical like that. It seems like that's more of a "dumb teenagers and Miku fans" thing than a general Vocaloid thing. You can fit those Kagaminefags squarely in the "dumb teenagers" part, usually.

You can purchase the voicebanks off of online retailers or pirate them through certain sources. Note that for Vocaloid4 banks, you'll also need to acquire the editor; pirated voicebanks can't be used with the real editor and vice versa.

$200 can be expensive if you're only playing around with it. It's not bad at all for an established musician, I suppose. Probably much cheaper than hiring a human singer.

>>16894884
How does Vocaloid compare to Piapro.

Is Miku dead already?

It seems nobody is releasing any new songs.

We will see the next magical mirai. If they repeat all the same old songs, then it will mean Miku is really dead.

>>16894957
Of course Magical Mirai will feature older songs. No one goes to a concert to hear new songs. You go to hear songs you already know you love. I would be mad if it DIDN'T have nearly exclusively older songs.

>>16894957
Even Lamaze bailed, so probably.

>>16894956
I believe that Piapro is just a platform for sharing Vocaloid media, instrumentals of Vocaloid songs, etc.

>>16894957
She's nothing compared to the 2008-2012 days. I blame the growing number of other vocaloids and utaites.
It seems like there are some very good active producers (Nayutalien and Maretu come to mind), but there are less and less people viewing the videos in general. It makes sense that not many new producers are appearing. Who would want to release songs for a shrinking crowd? There needs to be a large fanbase for talented producers like wowaka to show up, looking for popularity.
I think they'll do a MM with mostly old favorites, some recycled Project Diva songs, and some hits like Alien Alien. Maybe they'll do Law-Evading Rock, I'd love to see a module for that.

>>16894972
Lamazu only made one good song. 愛の詩.

Holy hell, a buddy and me were talking about some old stuff we used to do together and the like, and the topic of vocaloids came up. With his help I was actually able to find a download for the first vocaloid album I ever got, at an anime convention in 2011. Think it was 2011 at least, pretty sure it was. Album was pic related.

That opening hit me like a ton of bricks, it's only been around six years, but it still hit that sweet spot.

I have my favorite vocaloids (it's Rin and Len, actually), but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the others as well. I believe this is the same for most people, since if you like a specific vocaloid you'll probably be into the scene as a whole as well.

I agree with >>16894653 in that the annoying fans are the dumb teenagers, no matter which vocaloid they like more. Even on this board sometimes you see the occasional Mikufag shitting on every other vocaloid like only Miku should exist.

>>16895016
People just lose interest in things over time, it's normal. Still, there are tons of new stuff coming out in terms of songs, merhandise, concerts, etc, so I think it's unrealistic that Miku will die anytime soon.

Law-evading Rock is amazing though, been listening to it constantly since it came out... At least Neru is still releasing stuff. Maybe we'll see it on the next Project Diva, who knows.

>>16899613
I'm the Mikufag shitting on everything and I'm 23 years old. Post mortem to the initial offense, it's all just bants. You know, the exact opposite of what Kagaminefags did to force an innocent wiki admin to retire.

>>16899738
Idk if you're the specific example I'm thinking about (it was many threads back), but there's so much baiting going on in these threads it's hard to see the difference sometimes.

Again, I think that falls under the "dumb teenager" demographic. Younger fans tend to be drawn towards the Kagamines and Miku, so naturally the worst of the worst fanatics in the fanbase will be fans of those. That's why IMO it's misleading to attribute a specific behavior to a fanbase as a whole, since almost always it's just a specific sect of the fanbase acting like that.

I think majority of audience is drawn towards Kagamines and Miku and that's why some of them feel comfortable to act bossy and mean. They will always be in majority after all.

I'm a Mikufag and I'm 22. Yet I take part in bants sometimes just for memes. I don't really have anything against other Vocaloids, I really like some of theirs songs. Still, I listen and care only about songs with Miku.

Nem is great! Still my favorite producer to this day, and I've yet to see someone who tunes Len better than him. Also, I really like jazzy stuff and it's hard to find that in Vocaloid (Oster is another one of my favorites)

I hate utaite, but only because they can steal fans from the actual vocaloids (looking at yku, Reol.)

Does anyone have Comic and Cosmic?

Is it just me or are most songs these days really boring and similar sounding?

I remember back when songs were really good and unique. Songs like Meltdown, Triple Baka, 1/6, etc were all really unique in terms of melody and ideas.
I'm not trying to sound like some nostalgic retard who only listened to the popular songs, seriously, but now all the songs of recent seem plain and boring to me. Especially the rock songs that use the same melodies.

Don't get me wrong, every once in a while I find a good song recent song but most of them just suck. Perhaps it's just that all the really good producers have moved on. Anyone else feel this way?

You do come off as one though, like one of those stupid millenials on youtube who honestly believes they were born in the wrong generation.

The fact you said "most songs these days" implies to me, that you've only scraped the shitty surface of the weekly/monthly rankings, without putting in the effort to find some actual decent music.

>>16908527
Not really something I'd be bragging about if I were you (thank God I'm not)

there.

If you met me you would realize that i'm the exact opposite of the "I was born in the le wrong generation" type. Don't read into what i'm posting as some sort of deep philosophical look into me. Me posting here literally comes down to me not being able to find good Vocaloid songs recently.

I have spent at the least 30 minutes a day each day for the past 2 or 3 years browsing songs I have never heard before. Maybe once a year i'll actually spend a whole week's worth of browsing the internet dedicated to just looking for Vocaloid songs.

And logically and statistically it would make more sense for the top songs in the rankings to be the songs that I like, that's why they are top ranked. Generally they are cleaner and more organized than lesser known songs.

>>16908443
I think the scene is more homogenous since there are fewer producers now. That's not to say that all the good ones left, just that enough left to make the rest seem repetitive. For example, I think Kurage-P's songs wouldn't sound as samey if he weren't at the top of the charts every time he posted a song. Same with Nayutalien. But there are no other producers around to inject the charts with variety.
Of course, if you're looking for more anime idol pop-y music, you'll have a harder time finding that as well. It has become a lot less popular (or its fans moved on.) Lamaze-P's Rin song with the lines about sour fruit was the last one to give me that vibe.

>>16908617
The one with the oranges and pineapple?
Strange, that one stood out for me.

I wonder if there's really a pattern here...

>>16908607
So you're implying the songs at the top of the charts are the only good ones? It's been long since I've heard such piss and only further cements my comment.

Well I guess it's pretty much fate then, that you're not supposed to find any songs that you like. And frankly, with that attitude, I wouldn't be surprised.

>>16908617
>producers around to inject the charts with variety
Yes there are, they just aren't getting the proper attention because there are some people who are content with only the rankings, because they're obviously both statistically and logically better, and doesn't put in the effort of actually searching for new material.

Instead they bicker and complain on a mongolian sewing board about how there are, supposedly, no good songs being released, which might I add is by their own standards.

The fact that some consider that surface as the best the vocaloid community has to offer, only goes to show how much of a lazy ass they are.

>>16908816
Do you really believe the western fanbase has any notable effect on the Nico rankings?

It sounds like you're bitter because your favorite producers are obscure.

Also, they never said there aren't good songs anymore, only there are much much less than before.

>>16908676
Yes, that one! It was a good song. Great melody, cute Rin.

A lot of stuff can slip through the cracks, even if your crawl nico. FWIW it would be cool if you posted your favorite low-rated songs to the general.

>>16908849
I can never find any western songs because they're posted either to YouTube or Soundcloud, neither of which have many ways to find new material. You have to magically know what channels to subscribe to. And there's a lot of non-Vocaloid stuff on most of those channels, too. It's no wonder that western stuff has a hard time catching on.

>>16908849
I have no favorite producers and I never so much as claimed western viewers have an impact on the rankings.

>only there are much much less than before
Which is again, completely by their own standards.

>>16908858
No, I meant western fans watching/commenting/mylisting new songs to Nico.
Which is the basis for the Weekly Rankings.

>>16908878
Oh, duh. Yeah, that is a pretty small audience. I think that's in part because nico's interface is pretty unintuitive, for someone used to YT, and there isn't much incentive to make the jump when you can just look up reprints (and not have to deal with low-quality mode.)

>>16908856
>FWIW it would be cool if you posted your favorite low-rated songs to the general
It would be cool right? Almost as if that should be the primary point of the thread? Let's instead talk about how beautiful Luka are or how we want to have sex with Miku.

I listen primarily to Miku, should I sort through what little kagamine material I have, or are you desperate enough for anything?

>>16908946
I'm desperate enough for anything, honestly. Nothing wrong with Miku. If there's anything I don't like, it would be slow EDM songs, but I'd take that too. Thanks for the material, man

Another logical fallacy. Just because they are at the top doesn't mean that they are the only good songs. Now you're just putting words in my mouth. Why are you even here, since you obviously don't actually care to contribute. You're literally just trying to reaffirm your preconceived notions of me, some random anonymous guy trying to find vocaloid songs.

>>16908816
I never said that they were logically and statistically better, I said they were cleaner and more organized, which is what most people prefer. I guess you could be one of those guys that like random nonsensical music like death grips though.

I wish he'd kept the tropical jungle beats throughout Wave Motion, the two first tracks are god tier.

>>16909086
I made no implications except saying that statistically and logically it would make more sense for me to like those songs, which it does. You then implied I said they were better, which I did not. Stating statistics doesn't mean anything except what it literally means, which is that it is statistically and logically more likely for me to like the songs at the top of the rankings than other songs. You also implied once again that I only listened to these pop songs at the top of the rankings right after putting those words in my mouth, which makes me question if you have even read my full post. I've listened to probably 10,000 plus vocaloid songs on both youtube and mostly nicovideo in the last 3 years. I don't know why you're trying so hard to reaffirm your beliefs of me being some "le epik redditor" with a 12 year old mentality.

>>16909108
Thanks. Do you know where I can buy the song?

I looked on amazon for it because I know he releases some of his songs there but I wasn't able to find it. Do I have to buy a physical CD or something?

>>16909135
I think I got these through proxy, from amazon.jp
I very rarely buy digital music, but if it's available somewhere it should be mentioned on the homepage of the album.

>>16909151
I just found it, it was buried within the left album in your pic on amazon in a digital download.
Thanks.

>>16909135
I haven't been trying to call you out on anything other than that your dislike for modern songs are completely by your own standards, and that you might find something if you were willing to dig deeper. I assumed you just skimmed through the rankings like most do, instead of putting in the effort of searching yourself. Songs today are fine, you've just gotten more cynical.

Don't know about him, but the fact that view numbers are down either supports his views, or most of the fandom merely became "cynical" over on Nico too.

>>16909197
I mean I wasn't talking about view count at all, that could overall be some other factor. Perhaps you're right though. The idea that >>16908617 presented with the producers and homogeneity could be a factor.

>>16909197
It took almost a year for World is Mine to obtain over a million views, the highest ranked vocaloid song on Nico right now have 544 thousands views after barely over a month.

I don't get all these doomsday prophecies. Seems to me Vocaloids are thriving

>>16909222
World is Mine was uploaded in 2008 when the fandom was much, MUCH lower. a year for 1 million views was very good back then. And also even considering nicovideo, or I guess nico nico's audience probably being much lower too.

>>16908856
Posting a couple of newer songs I've been listening to a lot recently. Both of those producers are very underrated too, and the rest of their stuff is worth checking out:

>>16909216
>producers and homogeneity
Give newer producers some time to catch up instead of clinging to all the stale producers, Vocaloid has always been meant as a stepping stone for musical artists.
Look at R sound design for example, went from a nobody with about 5k views tops to Imperial Girl topping the charts. New blood will slowly rise to the top.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15914143

Guess i'll post this. It's not very good in terms of quality but it's very calming.

>>16909269
I have no doubts that they will rise, but I don't think that as many will be as unique and creative as the first rounds of producers that really helped spark the scene. Sure, a few will be as great but on the whole there will probably never be as many great producers in the scene at once since it was like a floodgate for a new type of music, and now most have moved on because like you said, it's a stepping stone.

>decline
It looks more like a stock exchange graph to me, constantly rising and declining.

>>16909360
Keep telling yourself that.

But don't forget what >>16909234 said.
the last few years saw similar points as in 2008-2009 even though the fanbase is supposedly magnitudes bigger, or should be at least.

>>16909324
Things I find interesting:
-It took the fandom a few years to reach 1-2mil points in the rankings.
-Where we are now is actually comparable to 2007-2009 levels.
-The 2012 bump began when producers like wowaka and Hachi came on the scene.
-The year after Jin's series ended, the rankings dropped. Could be coincidental, maybe not.
Do you think we're in for another bump in popularity once these underrated producers grow and establish themselves? Or will they all disappear once the shrinking fanbase is unable to support them?
>>16909247
I like PLAMA a lot. The way he mixes English into his songs occasionally is great.
>>16909184
Love this one.

>>16909360
Well I actually don't know about that. So far it just looks like a rise and a decline. I don't see any reason to think it would rise back up again, but I don't have enough information. I guess it would look more like a sine graph if the 2017 season or 2018 season ends up higher than the previous.

Also companies can go to zero pretty easily.

>>16909381
I really hope he's right, but I just don't see any reasoning. The amount of users on nico would be higher today, yet numbers are declining. We can hope though.

>>16909301
Depends on how you define unique and creative, we're still getting the same types of music today and even new kinds are being introduced.

One thing I've been able to ascertain is that we're severely lacking in memes, comics, fanmade animations and so on, many of which made early Vocaloid what it was.

>>16909381
Maybe it's because the vocaloid fanbase in its entirety is split between 30 or so vocaloids. Back then it was pretty much just Miku and sometimes Kagamines. It would make sense for the fanbase to be bigger, but simultaneously cause a division in the views.

>>16909393
>we're severely lacking in memes
This is very true. The Vocaloid characters don't have as much of a fanmade personality as they used to. I think this in part because of the large number of vocaloids, and also because people are using vocaloids for commercial music more than for the personalities themselves.
This is actually why I love GYARI's music so much:
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm27905394
It's charming because it shows all the vocaloids interacting meaningfully, it's goofy, and it's funny.
We could use more of that, I think.

>>16909384
The thing about the producers is that the talented ones are few, and vocaloid was new at this point. At this point since it was new most of the producers would have came in at this point. After the good ones got popular, they moved on from vocaloid. Now we just have less fresh blood coming in, and that means less potential for phenomenal producers to really bring in views to the scene. Sure an old popular producer may release a song every once in a while, and a few good ones have stayed like LamazeP, but there aren't many.

>>16909393
I really feel you on that animation and pv part. Some of the animations and pvs were what actually made songs good for me. Sometimes watching a good pv with a story would make me somehow like a song I thought was mediocre just a second before.

>>16909387
>but I just don't see any reasoning.
If 1 mil was the top score in say, 2008, and the fanbase grew 3x since then(just an example) then the top score should be 3 mil today.
If "things are fine, Vocaloid is thriving" as some say.

>>16909421
but we had top scores around 2010-2013
even though lots of new voicebanks came out around 2012

Since you guys said you want to see more songs here, I grabbed some recent ones for my fellow Lukafags:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syNMFn4EIVE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDd37djSpvo (too slow, I don't like it that much)
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm31003226
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm31003316 (same song as above, but with more wubs)
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm30898496

>>16909421

And it still wouldn't make sense even if that was the case, because the top songs going back to 2007-2008 numbers when, let's be honest here, the most popular vocaloid is still Miku, is just illogical. How many songs are really even produced per day now anyway? And how many actually using the 30 or so vocaloids that aren't Miku? Using sampling just from vocadb you can tell that it's had a significant drop recently, and it's not looking to get better.

IA
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm30505834

>>16909513
It wouldn't be too farfetched to speculate that there might have been fans that defected from Miku to Yukari, IA, Gumi, Una, whatever, and depending how tribal these various fanbases are with their mindset, can be counted as lost views for every vocaloid.

If 300.000 fans for example fell in love with another UNA, and half of them simply refused to listen to anymore Miku out of principle, then it'd count as a substantial drop in views for Miku despite the fanbase in its entirety remaining the same.

There's no reason to disagree with Miku being the most popular by far, I'm even a Mikufag myself, but without an exact datapoint we can't really predict whether the fanbase is declining or not.

>>16909582
Wouldn't a sum of yearly scores prove that?

>>16909582
You're definitely right, but i'm just trying to refute that the actual fanbase itself is growing. I mean you stated 300,000 fans, but we are getting like 600k views from a couple million views. And that's not even accounting for the fact that miku receives the most marketing and always had the largest fanbase.

Not incredibly unpopular, but a pretty good tune.

Gross points per 10-weeks

>>16909695
Not very good news. Still, there's no saying that it won't come back into popularity at some point. There are many people out there, especially westerners, who are nostalgic for vocaloid. Untapped potential.
Also, Len gets a surprisingly low # of points for how popular he is.

>>16909695
Keep in mind that NicoNico is dying as well.

>>16909748
We can hope, but it's just unlikely statistically.

Really disappointed because that chart legitimately proves the decline without opinion.

>>16909781
An interesting point.
Can you name some producers who stopped using Nico and switched to something else?

>>16909695
Why would they color code this in the most confusing way possible?

>>16909793
No, why would anyone do it?

>>16909695
Don't worry guys, the Chinese will save us.

>>16909695
I think the true potential about the future of Vocaloid lies in the western fanbase.

For example, the most popular CircusP songs from last year already have 2m views: https://www.youtube.com/user/VocaCircus/videos

googoo888 rips from the PDArcade also gets a lot of views.

And probably a lot of those fans from the western fanbase don't go to NicoNico to find new songs.

>>16909816
This is definitely true. It's funny because 2m views is nothing on youtube in comparison. Perhaps we should start uploading songs on channels ourselves to increase the viewer base.

>>16909806
They might have to ditch NicoNico entirely if they want to reach out to the western audiences.

Just compare Lamaze's views on Nico to the ones on Descentsubs, while it's not terrible they're not close to millions.

>>16909806
"Nico is dying" would be an argument if there were some statistics about producers moving over (to Youtube for example)and thus lowering the Weekly Rankings total points.

Although if some producers upload to both sites, the Youtube views/comments wouldn't be calculated, meaning a loss in the Nico points.

BTW here is a link to the Mikudb discord for anyone who wants to join, not advertising or anything, but for those of you who don't know Mikudb is basically a huge website dedicated to downloading and uploading vocaloid songs.

https://discord.gg/nnmGzrj

Why doesn't 4chan have nico embedding yet?

>>16909835
Not every producer starts on NicoNico. Also new producers appear and the old ones go away, not every one of them has to start on NicoNico and then consider to move somewhere else.
Abandoning NicoNico is not the only way to make the website lose users and share in music uploads.

>>16909868
I suppose that's also true.
If only there was a way to track Vocaloid song popularity on Youtube...

>>16909868
>>16909828
Why do western producers not upload their songs to nico? I know CrusherP did, and ECHO got insanely popular, but it seems like not all of them do.

>a way to track Vocaloid song popularity on Youtube
Agreed, a way to aggregate YT views would be very useful.

Honestly a few of us should start youtube channels and upload a few songs a week.

>>16909935
This would be bad because it would detract views from the original videos. Reprints don't support the original uploader. A twitter or tumblr account that posted to links to the official uploads would be more useful, I think.

>>16909935
I'm pretty cynical and I believe, despite our best efforts, that we'd make no damn difference.

>>16909944
Maybe. But we could possibly make a difference. And an attempt is infinitely better than doing nothing.

>>16909943
Well, a lot of reprints on youtube are in Japanese, and therefore english viewers don't usually see them. We just need to translate the titles and link to the original videos, and preferably link to less popular songs that aren't already posted on youtube. This would overall increase the availability of vocaloid,

Miku as a concept of "virtual idol" is still strong, since the otakus who appreciate her for that are incredible faithful to her and diligent to their "hobby".
Music-wise, however, Miku and vocaloid in general have lost and are still losing popularity, as you can see by the low number of views that most songs get, the high number of popular producers who quitted, and the low number of popular newcomer producers (I can only think of Nayutalian, and he isn't even that new).
