Right! I've sorta started to lose interest in Vocaloid but just a bit! A BIT!
I promised last month that I would write up another big article on my vocaloid findings so here I go!
To start, heard of "Yandere". Apparently its a 'style', 'tone' or perhaps 'version' (?) on some songs and is 'creepy'. Miku Hatsune's
'Saw and Pendulum' is an example. Also is a theme depicted with blood.

Next up, have I mentioned "Miku Miku Dance" before?
Just in case, "Miku Miku Dance" is a program that allows you to animate the actions of premade Vocaloid Characters. Many examples can be found over Youtube and some are fairly hilarious. "Miku Miku Dance" not only allows you to animate Vocaloid Characters but also other anime characters as well.
Here is
one. Don't ask about the dubbing!

I recall mentioning about new ones being realeased in my
first Vocaloid post. These are reffering to the append versions. So far there in Miku Hatsune and Rin/Len Kagamine.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now this one will really excite! Even Better than 'Miku Miku Dance'!
Its called "
Project Diva". Dont' really remember comming across it exept for looking up other Vocaloid videos on youtube but it definately caught my eye with this
video.
That was just a promo video but here is a
full version. Apparently its an opening.
Ok, so what it "
Project Diva"?
"
Project Diva" is a Vocaloid PSP game, which, from what I've seen in some examples, is similar to 'Guitar Hero'.
There are several levels and may depend on the inbuilt songs chosen. It features Vocaloid series 2 characters (Miku, Megurine, Rin and Len) along with other characters such as Kaito and Meiko (from the first Vocaloid Series), Akita Neru and Yowane Haku.
The characters are playable but some may need to be unlocked.
Here is an example of the
game play using "The Disappearence of Miku Hatsune".
And this one is a somewhat like a walk through to the
layout and aspects of the game. Its awsome! >_<!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another awsome topic is that Vocaloid has been incorporated into 'gaming' aspects like FF (Final Fantasy) hence this video of
'Corruption Garden' by Megurine Luka. Though I've no clues as to what game its linked to or animation.
So 3D! Pretty Cool!

I came across his work when I happen to come across this song called '
Free' by Megurine Luka ft. Len Kagamine.
I love the song and have been listening to it for 3 weeks now. Its so catchy and I love the techno part done by AvtechNo. Its in english but the chorus is in Japanese, which is sung by Len. If you look at the lyrics, the song sorta holds true meaning, in a funny way.

Phew. Alot I must say! Though, to help ease the reading, I tried applying these:

to break up the topics into sections. I might try applying them more often.
Thanks and I hope you enjoyed reading this. : )
