Vocaloid and Utau

[Renxius]

Hello~. This little segment at the corner of the world is about Vocaloid and Utau. (Just incase you couldn't tell. biggrin )

So if you are reading this, I can assume that you know what one of these topics are. If you don't, I will include a list of links that will give you further information.

Now for the rules. (Ugh, I know they're so borring)
-Follow TOS (If you don't know what that is, you shouldn't be here. D: )
-Be respectful of other's opinions
-Don't count on these posts to be 100% accurate.
-Keep it clean
-Have fun~!

Whew, glad that's over. Now for the more loose topics. First, I'll give you all some info on these subjects and you can post away~!

Vocaloid:
A voice synthesizing program from Japan, origanally developed by Yamaha. On this computer program you can make music and use the Vocaloid's voice for your vocals. Each Vocaloid character had their own little story behind them and they're preferred music style. This program is kinda like Garage Band for the Otaku. ^^
The characters include: Miku Hatsune, Rin and Len Kagamine, Kaito, Meiko, and Yowane Haku.
Link for more info: From Wikipedia

Utau:
This is a fan- made program that is very similar to Vocaloid. It was by a Nico Nico user as an April Fool's joke. He said it was a new Vocaloid and people believed him. He gave them the link anyways though. The differences are: it's free, it's Engrish is a bit better, different characters, and you can use your own voice. I do not have the link to download the program, but I'm sure someone will post it eventually. One of the Utaus that I know of is Kasane Teto.
Link for some more info: From Fumi 25's Blog

-=:UPDATE~:=-

Thanks Zpander~!!

Zpander has posted a link to an English tutorial on YouTube. The link is in the SECOND post on this page. Be sure to thank him AGAIN! biggrin

Here it be: The Utau Donload site. It's all in Japanese, sorry. ^^;;

Now that you have some info on them, maybe you should check out some of their songs on YouTube. Just search one of the names, program names, or a combo of both. You'd be surprised how good a computer can sound. surprised

Now post away~! biggrin

Can't believe no one's posted here yet. XD

Anyways, I like Kokoro the most, I think. I also like The World Is Mine, though. o:

*Megami wants to cosplay as Miku some time.*

Huoli mie en hopeitasi
Kumarra en kalliita kultiasi

The mix of Kokoro and Kokoro x Kiseki is so beautiful.

The first time I heard Hatsune Miku was soon after she came out, on the amateur/indie site muzie (yay muzie!). Kinda freaked me out at first. What's depressing is now I can actually understand what the vocaloids are saying... >_>

Huolta tuovat hopeasi
Valhetta valat valkeat

[Teto Kasane]

I have a favorite for each Vocaloid and Kasane Teto. ;D ~

Oh, maybe I should post all the versions of "Koi wa Sensou" (Love is War). Or have you all listened to everyone of them? XD

[Renxius]

No problem Teto~.
So does anyone here actually have either of the programs? My friend has Utau, but it's not working properly I think. D:

[Renxius]

I have Vocaloid 2...it's so fun...though recently I haven't had any time to play with it.... I have Miku and Rin & Len....I really want Kaito and Meiko XD

soo...utau allows you to use your own voice? Hot damn, I'm so getting it....and this time I won't have to beg my friends to dish out over $180 to buy it for me as a gift muahahahaha!

(I just learned about UTAU and Kasane Teto a few minutes ago.....)
