seems people are divided into 3 camps:

-those who like other vocaloids but hate miku

I like Miku and also other vocaloids. A variety of voice types is nice. Nobody pointed out OP's omission of Len even though he's much more popular than Kaito or Meiko and also a Cryptonloid.

She's not the most realistic. That's perhaps Yukari, but it's debatable.

She does have a sound that matches "normy" tastes more, because the trend for a long time has been toward huskier sounding female vocalists and Gumi has a raspy sounding voice.

I prefer the crystal clear, cherubic sounding female vocals from Miku and others. My taste in vocalists is more classically influenced than normalfag influenced.

It's funny because some people get mad that Crypton and other companies don't cater to the west enough (no english vocaloid software, manuals, availability, websites, etc) while other people like you think it's better to keep it in Japan.

From a commercial perspective it's important to keep expanding, since the Japanese market is already saturated. From all the new vocaloid releases, vocaloid must have been (must be) quite profitable.

Also interesting to note that Crypton hasn't released a new character for a long time, which I think is a mistake. They should have joined the other companies and produced more, or at least invest or acquire/form a subsidiary that releases more voicebanks and characters. Or maybe the have. Being a non-public company means we can't see what the hell they're up to.

I don't think that Vocaloid needs to stay in Japan, necessarily, it's just that I don't really think this is the right to do it. I don't think they're familiar with the demographic of people who watch David Letterman. Like, if you made a Venn diagram of "people who watch Letterman" and "prospective Vocaloid consumers", there would be no overlap at all. Or with the Toyota commercials, it's just product placement for the sake of product placement. It'd be like having a product placement for a Razer gaming headset in "The Notebook". I'm not saying I think trying to expand is bad, I just don't agree with the way that they're doing it. Also, I wonder what kind of person they're trying to target by doing this. If they're trying to target people who want to buy and use the software, the people who, like you said, complain about them not catering Vocaloid to Western producers, then I would think improving the software for Westerners would be the best way to do that, not by putting her in Pepsi commercials.

(For the record I have all software listed above, the picture's from the English Vs editor).


There's plenty of English vocaloids, the problem is that they -ALL- suck. Because -English- sucks for vocaloids. Too arbitrary in terms of sounds. Is it the 'o' as in 'bowl' or 'other'? A in apple or father? etc. Japanese's consistency with sounds was basically what saved it.

English Miku in particular is unintelligible without subs. I appreciate that they brought back Saki Fujita for Miku English, but when I heard that first demo song I knew she was dead. I tried listening to it without the subs first and literally had no idea what she was saying; being fluent in English and reasonable in Japanese.

As for new ones from Crypton; there aren't the sales. No one's good on the English scene, so there's nothing to drive it. The Japanese one's slowing down, and none of the recent vocaloids haven even gained enough recognition to be noteworthy (like the Galaco Neo, v flower, Anon/Kanon, Rana, etc).

They've hit peak, and unless they can somehow turn around the English market they've only got decline left. Maybe shoot for Spanish, but I haven't really seen Carla and Bruno doing too well.

You make a good point about targeting actual software users. I think there is more money from licensing characters, goods, games, events, and shows than actual software sales. Again, there is very little financial data available so I have no idea about how lucrative these contracts are. If you think about it though, producers are very few in numbers compared to fans who will spend tons of money on nendos, figures, tickets and games.

I think what they're doing right now is to finally step into the West. They've set up Twitter, added a lot of good content to their Youtube page, made improvements to the English page (like Piapro) , and are quite ready this time (unlike with Toyota in 2011(?)). They are timing it with the Miku Expos obviously, and probably bet a good chunk of funds for this. They need every bit of attention they can get, not just to sell out the tickets but to make sure the talk about Miku doesn't die down after the concerts. Hopefully this will leader to higher software sales, but more importantly game sales; PJD could be making Crypton more money than the actual voicebanks.

The 'curse' with having a popular figure like Miku is that every dollar you spent on advertising her benefits your competitors.

>>12496012
Thanks for the information. I've heard from a few people had negative experience with CFM and that they "have no intention of selling to overseas customers" or something, albeit this was (maybe more than) one year ago. And I agree with you about English Miku. Using V3 Japanese Miku to make here sing Engrish beats Miku English any day.

> and none of the recent vocaloids haven even gained enough recognition to be noteworthy (like the Galaco Neo, v flower, Anon/Kanon, Rana, etc).
Rana is too early to say IMO, although the timing was a few years late. With so many vocaloids, I feel like they're just putting them out there hoping one will be the next GUMI.

I think it's too early to call flower's popularity too. She's getting some use, but it's hard to tell if it's just Yamaha promoting her or if there's a real groundswell of interest.

>>12496012
As for them having supposedly "hit peak" how is it even possible to know this? How many new and aspiring producers are buying Miku? It's not at all obvious, and there are more sources of profit than just software sales, so I can't even say that Miku has peaked, much less vocaloid in general.

I hope you're not referring to that graph of number of NND uploads hitting the 500,000 views mark each year that people read *far* too much into.

About the Letterman interview, Crypton may not have pushed for the interview. It could have been the producers of the Letterman show scouting for interesting material who pushed for the interview.

It's probably a good thing, but "all publicity is good publicity" is an oversimplification. If Letterman is planning a "look at this weirdo japanese bullshit and fat autists who like it" angle, that could be damaging. He could even play the "pedophilia" card, which is pretty much always possible with japanese pop culture stuff. That's pretty much the most damaging kind of publicity you can get. Even being associated with mass murder or Nazism is far less stigma.

I've seen people who not only enjoy english vocaloids, but prefer them to japanese ones. These are usually the kinda people who think anime is weird though, so it might play a role.

I don't think they had much of an alternative. It's a small company and there's a big demand for V3 updates of existing voicebanks. They can't do it all at once.

But really, the holocaust was not that bad compared to what happened in the rest of the world, such as in China, and Russia, but only because they seemed like "the bad guys", they don't get as much publicity, even though what happened there is arguably way worse, it's like the bombing of Japan, vs Pearl Harbour or 9/11, the latter gets much more publicity than the bombing of Japan, even if the damage is more severe, since America is in a lot of people eyes "The good guys", they get the feeling of that it was only right to bomb Japan, and that the Pearl Harbour was way more tragic, even if they had been warned beforehand of the bombing of Pearl Harbour, and the causalities were not that big, same with 9/11, not that many casualties, but because they seem like the innocent ones, they get a lot of sympathy from the media, but the civilians that have died in Iraq and Afghanistan is several tenfold more than the ones in 9/11.

She sound a lot like gumi to me. I like the design O.K. but it's not one that would translate well to a 3D model and I think that hurts the popularity and the potential for people to grow attached to the character. I think I'm more partial to moe animu style character designs. Surely at least on /jp/ I can admit this. Both her voice and her design bore me. The art style is nice but not my favourite.

>> No.12504210

>>12504187
I don't hate that kind of art, it reminds me a lot of a couple of shoujo/josei manga. It feels very fashionable, or fitting to portray clothes with but it doesn't seem like a strength for a vocaloid. I agree with you on the voice completely though, it sounds like something I've already heard and ultimately clashes with her look.

>> No.12504232

My opinion on the stylistic aspect: moe works. It is a serviceable aesthetic for vocaloids because it translates well into a variety of media. Miku looks cute and attractive in a many manifestations. Other stylized designs are more restricted in terms of the viewing perspective... hard to explain, but there are "bad angles" from which they will tend to look like aliens or their contours cannot withstand lighting and perspective without looking gross. On the other hand, realistic designs can easily land up in the uncanny valley.

Maybe sticking to what is proven to work is not so bad? I'd kinda like to see more bright, colourful and futuristic looking vocaloids. There's still a lot of room to work with that and create new and distinctive designs still. The cuteness makes their quirks more forgiveable and endearing.

Well the irony goes deeper than that if you think about it. After all, guitars do not grow on trees. There is nothing in nature that is identifiable as a guitar, so they're just as "unnatural" as synthesizers.

You could only say such a thing and not be hypocritical if you restricted yourself to a capella and didgeridoo music.

I myself don't want vocaloids to sound completely "natural" in the sense of perfectly mimicking the human voice. It'd kinda take the fun out of being a fan. These perfectly realistic vocaloids might be useful for songwriters, but being a particular fan of them would be arbitrary if they sounded just like people...

Akikoloid, Anri Rune, Uekiloid, Azuki, Matcha, Meaw and ONA are all private voicebanks, so the demos/songs they have are limited.

Ling and Lorra have no confirmed voice providers as of yet. Same with Lui, but he is as far as I know, cancelled along with Ring (who in contrast has a voice.)

Miriam, Prima, Mew, Bruno, Clara, Yan He, Maika, and Merli all visibly have covers and original songs.

The engloids have various songs/covers but you never hear much of them because nobody visibly popular is making originals, unlike those you know using most of the Japanese Vocaloids. Same with spainloids.

Most of Yanhe's songs are on bilibili along with Tianyi's songs, not much is reprinted onto youtube.

ALYS is a current Work IN Progress with only one demo with her sounding like an UTAU. This is only a test, but in her final product, she is not supposed to be a Vocaloid, but a CeVio, another vocal synth program.

>YAMAHA and Crypton themselves consider Hatsune Miku as one of their most low quality, yet most profitable voicebanks. She's the perfect product. You just invest few yens in her development and TADA! Millions of moneys from people buying her.
>English vocaloids were made to be used by professional musicians, not by any otaku that wants to make them sing "notice me senpai" so they are in a very pro level, unlike japaneseloids that can be used by almost any 10 y.o. kid (also a fact stated by YAMAHA)

By a moment I thought you were talking about japanese vocaloid but then I read "engloids". And the fact you stated that proves how low your aknowledgment about vocaloids and their companies. Zero-G was the first company that developed vocaloids, and they were hired by YAMAHA themselves. Suuure, YAMAHA would hire a "college-kid development team" to start the production of a new software. Even Voctro Labs, the company that created MAIKA, Bruno/Clara AND vocaloid technology are becoming a very recognized company in Spain.

About your LMAO, yes, it's true. Only "relation" vocaloid has with the otaku crap is the boxarts mostly being anime styled, but hey, if that's enough to consider it otaku stuff we're fucked up. Then, if someone puts a damn broccoli in a vocaloid box then vocaloids could be discussed IN VEGAN threads and considered VEGAN products.

IA and Yukari are recognized for having muffled phonemes that difficult their pronounciation, specially on higher notes. Of course they have a natural smooth sound. But now let's use Kagamine Rin as an example of CLEAR JAPANESE AND NATURAL SOUND.

I've talked to a guy who's worked with Vocatone. Oliver's team was about 4-5 amateurs, this is a well-established and public fact. Yohioloid's was similar. Ruby only has 2 fucking people working on her right now. But sure, feel free to paint me as an ignorant weeaboo just because you know how to read the Vocaloid wiki.

Okay, let's just ignore all the Vocaloid content centered around otaku culture! Let's ignore the thousands of producers and entire /conventions/ for Vocaloid doujin shit!

ZeroG hasn't done shit. PowerFX uses the majority of its staff for non-Vocaloid projects. Voctro Labs isn't an Engloid company.

The huge amount of otakus and weeaboos buying Vocaloids have heavy influence on design, voice programming, and marketing in all countries. Shit runs deep.

Yet, vocaloid is still a software aimed at musicians. Yes, fans are an incredible influence, but not the main target.

VO go away

it takes an incredible amount of bias to deny that otaku culture has been hugely influential (probably the single largest influence) on vocaloid

Look at the character designs, past and present. Look at the history, how the fandom developed. Outside the otaku niche, vocaloid had no popularity and extremely few fans of any kind. This is not even far from the truth today.

Miku is more than 3x as popular as all other vocaloids combined, and it's obvious who she's catering toward. Her mainstream success is a vindication of the moe anime otaku aesthetics that made and nurtured her.

Fans and musicians ain't mutually exclusive, you know. Most companies (unless they have a shitload of money to throw away like Yamaha) have wisened up to the fact that the majority of their buyers are involved in otaku culture somehow.

As a musician, how exactly is software being difficult to use and make anything sound decent a positive, or something that makes it "pro level?" When I use music software I want it to work with minimal effort so I can focus my attention on important shit like writing music. Most musicians don't want to waste time tweaking minute parameters just to get something even passable. Also, who are these professional musicians you speak of that are using this software? Professionals aren't wasting their time with shitty sounding software, a professional will hire a real singer and get 100 times the result with 1/100th the effort.

1st track has the vocal mixed unusually loud to make it easier to make out what it's saying. 2nd track is pretty hard to understand for most of it. So is the the third. Fourth is pretty good, I can make out most of it. By the way, if you read the subtitles as you listened to any of these you really can't form an objective opinion of how clear the results are.

Yes she sounds like a synth. That's the point. You only need the others for duets and such.

About Miku sounding synth, no. Miku was intentionally made to sound AS AN ANIME GIRL, in consequence, unrealistic. But it doesn't means she sounds "artificial, like a machine". LEON and LOLA do sound artificial, but that's because they're really old vocaloids. Miku just sounds voice acted/not natural.

That's good. I like her when she is used for the genres she fit. Like poppy, corny songs and sometimes EDM and techno music. Even soft rock. But when she is forced to sing in opera, country or heavy metal she honestly sounds ridiculous, like a mouse trying to scream (THIS IS FOR OP, ANOTHER REASON WHY THERE'S A LOT OF VOCALOIDS: Miku, Rin and Len can't cover all the vocal requirements for certain music genres)

>> No.12527893

>>12527777
How much opera, country (!?) and heavy metal is she used in anyway? Utsu-P uses her (and other vocaloids) in metalcore / thrash / etc. and it comes out sounding pretty convincing, not like "a mouse trying to scream." Miku's metal scream doesn't sound like a human voice, but I like that. I don't care for screaming or growly vocals, but when Miku does it it sounds more eerie or evil rather than completely over-the-top.

>> No.12528038

>>12527893
I've never stated she does it wrong, I said it sounds ridiculous, but if your only example is Utsu-P's music then you're not giving a wide panorama of her metal/scream capabilities.
Also, even if she sounds "good", she does not COVERS the requirements for those genres. Of cooooourse, if you like Miku you'll love her and think she sounds good even singing in yodel, but most vocaloid musicians (not the popular japanese producers because 90% of them are recognized otaku bias) always feedback YAMAHA for the development of new vocals and always asking for certain traits for the vocaloids.

I can force my fork to cut an onion, and the onion will be cutted at some moment of course. I can use my fork to eat soup, and I'll finish the entire plate at some moment, of course.
But clearly a fork due to it's particular characteristics can't do those works as good or as fast as a knife or a spoon.

You brought up Miku's screaming voice in particular, and I think Utsu-P would be the first on anyone's mind in that case. Maybe it sounds ridiculous to you, but to me it sounds less ridiculous than comparable human vocals and it's a convincing though different-sounding take on the genre.

You are only hanged up to the scream point when actually that was used as an example, not as a statement of Miku's screams. But thanks, you never rejected or tried to deny my point about Miku's lack of capabilities for certain music genres so it proves I'm giving a solid argument.

MEIKO and KAITO are from a different line-up by Crypton. They were created to be realistic sounding (the voicestyle, not how realistic they sound) and their vocals are a direct copy of their voice providers.

Miku, Rin/Len and Luka were designed to be less realistic and kinda "fake" because they were created as "anime characters" vocaloids, voiced by seiyus, that's why they are always critisized for being one of the less realistic sounding vocaloids with those "squeaky, moe, kawaiish weaboo shit" vocals.

I tend to view it the other way around. By eliminating the middle man in the form of the interpreter, you make way for the actual composer/songtexter/animator etc. to be recognized.
When I am doing a search for songs, it is usually by producer and not by a particular vocaloid used (aside from when i look for niche UTAU).

Anyone has access to use the vocaloid software to produce a listenable voice and thus the competition becomes who is best at making good songs instead of which interpreter is the biggest attention whore. (did somebody say forgettable idol music?)
People like OP make things worse by worshipping the Miku or Cryptonloids in general, so producers get biased which vocaloid to use for best marketing opportunity instead of choosing one which suits their style of music.
