Some Pokémon nerd: why are we getting KANTO instead of SINNOH and why are there PGO mechanics in my console Pokémon this is SUCH A WASTE here’s 5037273 reasons why these games will flop-
Me: evee wear hat
Yet another reminder to PLEASE join neocities! It’s free and you can build a web space that is literally entirely your own!
Neocities itself also functions as bare-bones social media and allows you to post updates, comment & like other people’s updates and follow people’s sites.
i've rediscovered neocities in 2023 and it is a JOYOUS experience. as a '94 baby, these personalized sites remind me of the internet i grew up using and i'm swimming in nostalgic happiness. browsing these sites and then using twitter is like night and day.
Another fact about Akita Neru's mobile devices: she also owned a feature phone, which was mainstream at the time. This phone was the FOMA D905i by Mitsubishi Electric, sold by NTT Docomo. The simple reason for this choice was that one of the color variations, "Orange Yellow,"
It is possible to be hyped up and excited to see your vocalsynth fandom friends and hear Vocaloid music performed live and still be ABSOLUTELY FUCKING LIVID about Crunchyroll’s handling of the Miku Expo 10th anni. The two are not mutually exclusive.
Okay the Miku de Nihongo book is really funny to me because they have casual and formal versions of each chapter conversation, and the causal version is the reader talking with Miku, whereas the formal is 2 human characters talking with each other
was showing a friend old MMDs and is that fucking TONARINE SAI at KAITO's funeral in the infamous Saihate PV?? Like I think I always assumed it was Luka, but those buns, and this predates Luka doesn't it??
god we had slim pickings for characters back in the day
I stand by that the funniest instance of this is still the PS2 game “Lupin is Dead, Zenigata is in Love” because it’s even more jarring when it’s in 3D
one of my favorite things about tokyo crisis is that almost every special has this huge stylistic disconnect between the gang and oneoff characters but they really did TRY to make them look like basic 90s anime chars. its just that no matter what you do zeni still looks like this
Hey quick does anyone have a gif of that scene in part 1 where Goemon jumps up like 30 feet into the air but all they do is just slide the cel up so it just looks like he's levitating
I want an original song that uses UTAU Teto and Vocaloid Miku that transitions to SynthV Teto and NT Miku please give me this it is comedic genius waiting to happen
I’m so used to asking “do you know about Vocaloid” & getting blank stares when talking about my hobbies at work, but today I led off with “so I do this vocal synthesis thing but it’s for music, it sings” and got whiplashed by my coworker immediately going “oh yeah like Vocaloid?”
@cillia
I only learned in the last 3 years so I feel this. Also I called 96neko "ninety-six neko" for like a trillion years before I realized it was supposed to be kuroneko... like black cat...
"go to hell" is basic. "I hope a voicebank you really love is so ignored that when you search tweets of them the only results from the past year are from the vocalsynth hunger games bot" is smart. it's possible.
I genuinely haven’t been this excited about a new voicebank in a very long time. Like don’t get me wrong I always love seeing new voices release but the ABSOLUTE IMPACT of this announcement having been in the UTAU community myself since 2009 like it’s absolute fucking nuts

Does anyone else find it difficult to gauge the appropriate level on which to discuss vocalsynths with others?
"Hey, I like Miku, too!" Ok does that mean you saw a tiktok dance trend once or are we going to discuss the merits of V4X over NT as engine/editor
Every single UTAU creator should realize that what they’ve made is insanely cool regardless of perceived skill level within fandom. Show your grandmother your webcam CV bank. You did that! You made a synthesizer database of your own voice that can sing! How fucking cool is that!
I think more people need to realize that while pjsekai is very much an "idol mobage" and focused on its additional chars, the game itself directly acknowledges vocaloid music culture and treats the source material w/ respect
Im bored so let's do something artists,
What is a drawing you think you're iconic for? and let people reply to you what drawing they think you are iconic for
Honestly out of all the vips, Teto came out incredibly tame. Ritsu, Ruko & Tei all have massive red flags with their character profiles, but aside from “military aesthetic” leading to some shitty edgelord anon art on the original 2ch thread, Teto’s actual profile is mildly silly.
I forgot I used to collect shitty UTAU screenshots to use as reaction images for vocalsynth tumblr
you can't deny this conveys some indescribable but very palpable mood
The absolute most wholesome things in the entire VOCALOID fandom:
1. Naoto Fuuga continually referring to KAITO as his son and being proud of him
2. Sachiko Kobayashi going “dat me!!” and mimicking the VSQ playback when listening to her voicebank for the first time
Hoping and praying that the LED screen for Vancouver was either for filming purposes or a last minute B-mode bc something’s up with the actual screen but either way mannnnn the lack of transparency (pun intended) so far is distressing. They should have made a statement or smth…
SynthV continuing to snipe every voicebank off of every other engine is really funny
Like ok maybe I’m a little 🤏 worried about them having a monopoly on singing synths at this point but also they kinda deserve it being the most user friendly with the most features and all
I'm happy to announce Aiko is getting an overhaul for 2020!
Since people have mentioned my Tennessee accent comes out in her English, I decided to hearken back to my Nashville roots and make her a dedicated country-genre UTAU ★
Her Model-C voicebank will release soon!
The vocalsynth fandom might not see eye to eye on a lot of things, but we can agree on one specific principle - keep crypto/nft/aibros the FUCK out - and we came together for that purpose yesterday and honestly it was beautiful
Literally had a Miku Expo stress dream last night where my concert group was trying to ask a staff member about the screen situation and she kept trying to gaslight us saying “oh they’ve always used that screen what are you talking about 😀”
For 11 years people said over and over "Teto should be a VOCALOID!"
only for Wat to make a test VB, tweet that Teto lost her personality in the engine, and then for Crypton to ditch it 2 years later
incredible
I guess this is the point where one would plug a soundcloud but all I post is singing robot weeb shit so instead I'll encourage all of y'all to say one nice thing to another Pokémon fan today how about that
My lukewarm take of the evening is that “Project Sekai isn’t a vocalsynth-centric game” and “the vocalsynths have enough presence that their covers could & should sound better” are both true statements that can coexist
