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.

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.

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.
