New voices, same Mku

The Miku Append was a software update that added six new voices to Miku's existing Vocaloid database, meaning that this software update won't install unless it detects that you already have Miku's first voice bank installed. Along with the software update was a new look for Miku, and it looks totally cool.

Even though it's been less than three months after the database update was released (well, technically, it was available for beta-testing for several months before its official release), there's already some pretty good songs out there. One of them comes from an artist who calls themself Captain Beefheart (I'm serious!) who made a song with a mellow drum n bass-esque song using Miku's sweet voice:



There's also another artist called bunga who's made several songs using the new Miku voices. The artist's style is more mellow than Captain Beefheart's and uses otherworldy sounds:



As for whether or not the new voices sound better when using them to say stuff in English, only time will tell. Or when I stop being lazy.

T2 does not always refer to Judgment Day.

Sometimes it can refer to a Japanese illustrator who goes by the name of Tony Taka. Now for those of you who know him, this blog post is absolutely worksafe, so don't hit that Back button on your browser if you were expecting that. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the man, the best one-sentence description I can give to you is that he is a modern-day Satoshi Urushihara. And like Satoshi Urushihara, Tony is also well-known for the female designs of a particular JRPG series, except substitute Langrisser with most of the post-Sega console Shining "(Insert Noun Here)" games.

So the reason why I bring up this particular artist during Hardcore Gaming 101's Vocaloid Week is because he did an illustration of Miku for Comic Market 77, which was last winter:

What's really amusing for me about this illustration though is that this is actually the most non-sexually provocative pose of a female character I've seen this guy make. And for good reason: Sega told him to draw that for Comiket 77 because they wanted to not scare away Vocaloid fans from their booth since they used that illustration to sell a CD called White and Shadow, which contained two tracks that were composed by Hiroki Kikuta (Seiken Densetsu 2 and 3, Romancing Saga). The sad part is I haven't listened to that CD yet either. Woe is me.

Oh yeah, there's a figure of this illustration up for preorder, but you already knew that before you read this, didn't you?

So Today's Miku's 3rd year anniversary...

... And all I have to show for it is a picture:

Of her about to eat ice cream like you weren't expecting THAT to happen

And a sound clip of her saying the name of this website.

This summer really, really sucked

You know how too much of a good thing is bad for you? Well, that's exactly what happened to me. And Miku too:



Anyway, to review:

1) G.Rev begins the assault with releasing the home port of Senko no Ronde DUO.

2) G.Rev calls in an assist attack from Sega by harassing me with Project Diva DLC.

3) The attack string cancels into a tag-team super move involving Blizzard Entertainment with Starcraft II and Sega releasing Project Diva 2nd WITHIN THE SAME FREAKING WEEK.

4) Comic Market 78 just happened last weekend, and there's some games that are distracting me from doing anything productive in relation to this website.

So in case some of you are wondering why I haven't posted in a while, it's a combination of all of these reasons right above. Hopefully I can scrape something together before this month is over!

Surprise, surprise!

Well, I guess I did have some time to spare. Go figure. Hope you have iTunes installed and ten dollars to give to Apple, since you need to download this entire album. Like, now:

I guess "Palmar Blue" sounds a lot better than calling it "The Blue Palms of the Hand" in English.

One of the reasons why I'm telling you to get this now even though this is the most expensive album on iTunes I've referred to you guys so far is that some of the songs have been fixed to sound better for this release. How much better, you ask? Well, compare the original to the iTunes one on the composer's piapro account which came out a few days after this went up on Apple's store, and you should notice that the former sounds too fast and more MIDI-like. You can also check out the original versions of the 2nd and 5th tracks of this album, and after you're done doing so, hit the preview button on the same tracks in iTunes to see how much better they sound.

The other highlight of this album is the fact it has the first original Gumi song I've heard that made me go, "Ohsnap." Seriously, it's really that hard for me to find a composer who can use her well. You want to know how bad it is? This is 1 out of 2 posts songs I can find of someone using Gumi on the HG101 blog iTunes.

Oh, did I also mention that the rest of this album is very, very good?

Why do these always end up looking ugly?

Considering I paid money for this, I'd hope to get something that doesn't look... bland:

The unique icons don't help either.

So what were to happen if livetune never became popular?

We'd get Shake Sphere, although one would pronounce the first word of the artist's name as though it were romanized Japanese sounds (which is a kanji that refers to salmon fish), and not like this.



The cover art for this iTunes release was a quick retouch of the same image used for Sagitarius, (sic) and is one of my most played tracks for this album. However, what originally caught my eye to this artist was by stumbling accross a PV for Polaris a few months before.

Now there are a few discernible differences between kz of livetune fame and how Shake Sphere compose their songs, one of them being that the latter's music compositions sound more playful and nowhere near as depressing as the former's. Another obvious trait is that Shake Sphere tends to go easy on the voice modulation and even has Miku breathe in right before saying a set lyrics as though she was a real person in a recording room. One more difference is that kz doesn't do R&B.

So what's the verdict on this album? Well, I bought it without any regrets even though most of the songs on this album can be found through nicovideo and all of them can be found on the artist's piapro account. Also helps that Overflow (sic) sounds a lot better for the iTunes release too.

The phenomenon expands even more

If we were to believe what this guy says about it anyway:

Tripshots was the last person I mentioned in my Project Diva article who has quickly become one of the prominent faces of Miku because of both his excellent 3D models of her as well as how dead serious he is about her mythos. If you checked his website at around the time I created the article, he mentions putting up music for iTunes. And they're all expensive. But they're worth it. Almost.

You can watch his promo vid for this release straight from the creator himself right here. If you want to see more complete versions of the original songs on this release, you can check them out here, here, and here.

But you know what's really interesting about Tripshots? On Christmas Eve of this year, Sega announced that this guy designed the arcade cabinet for Project Diva, which apparently will begin location testing during the middle of January. That explains why I saw a higher-quality 3D model of Miku used for both the Animelo concert and the dance choreography comparison. Guess they didn't want that to go to waste.

And it looks like Namco's going to be in trouble real soon.

Comer el puerro no fué una buena idea...

I swear, it wasn't me who did it! My friend told her to!

Now Miku's paying for it.

In all seriousness though, I wasn't expecting this context when I posed it like that in order to get shots of the back since that won't be seen when I put it on the base the figure was designed for.

So what is this, you ask? It's Good Smile Company's (I sincerely hope that you didn't click on that link since you probably have doomed yourself to a life of financial poverty and eternal envy) long-overdue figure based on an illustration by redjuice which ryo used for one of his songs called World is Mine, and in turn, is also the first track of the Free Play list for Project Diva. As for the sculpture itself, it's gorgeous and so well-designed that when you do plop Miku into the provided "stand," it'll hold onto her for dear life so even if flipped upside down, she won't fall out (disclaimer- I've never tried this myself yet nor do I plan on doing that anytime soon). And this is without using those annoying pegs that have to fit into specified holes and are really an eyesore if you're trying to take pictures.

On a side note, I find it amusing that her face looks more Spanish than Japanese for this model.

Extended Play releases are expensive

This iTunes release is called Digital Colors, created by someone named yasuo:



If you can't afford it, the good news is that all of the songs here can be found on nicovideo Smile Video, so you can listen to it there if you want. Now onto the review:

First track- I prefer the translation found in that link I found since the name sounds more Touhou-ish compared to what they put in the iTunes store, as this track sounds like one anyway. The song gets bad further down because it becomes a jumbled mess of tones at that point (like how ZUN tends to do it anyway, so I can't fault the composer for keeping true to the style). In short, it sucks.

Second track- Hey, this sounds familiar... oh yeah, it was part of the Free Play list in Project Diva. Silly me. Also sounds Touhou-ish, but at least it remains focused unlike the previous track. That's probably why Sega picked it.

Third Track- Sounds like the opening song to an RPG that has lots of Blue Skies. I like blue skies.

Final Track- A nice slow-sounding track. It's like, good enough to negate the first track altogether.

Judgement: yasuo should stop emulating ZUN. Also as mentioned in the header of this post, it's kinda pricey, so you really need to either be a Vocaloid fan or have a lot of disposable income to buy it.

Miku's hair can turn into wings?! Crazy.

Next up on the iTunes store is this album called haneito by someone who goes by the name of Clean Tears:

The art is so purty.

This person is also pretty important as one of their songs is the first one played during Project Diva's ending credits. How that came to be will be saved for another time; besides, this song isn't in the album anyway.

Aside from electronic pop, this person can also can churn out some really good trance music such as the first track on this album which became one of their most iconic songs. Then I was surprised by the R&B pop tracks in the album as they're not bad at all.

So what's the verdict? It's pretty good for quite a steal if you're buying it at the album price through the US iTunes store.

A tasty appetizer

As promised earlier, here's one interesting Vocaloid album found on the iTunes store:



Minato's album called Delicious can be summed up pretty much by what this reviewer said about it. So how prominent is this person, you ask? The third track to this album is found in Project Diva. You won't find this song in the Free Play list as it's one of the unused ones, but it can be played as background music in Miku's Room or can be used to create an original music video using the Rhythm Game Edit interface.

The rest of the album is a pretty good combination of fast and slow pop songs with various instruments that use either Miku or the Kagamine twins for each track. Its weakest link for me is like with a lot of Vocaloid songs I've heard, the singers at times sound a little bit too soft and tend to blend into the music. That, and the 6th track has a prominent beat in it that never really goes away and nearly drove me up a wall the first time I heard it (well, I felt compelled to drive my car into one anyway). Don't let that deter you from checking it out though. Well, don't drive while listening to this album for the first time.

I could easily sum this up with one picture, but I wanna say a few things:


No matter how much she tries, it'll never respond to her touch.

I mentioned the artist of this album you see in the photo right here, and yes, all of the songs I mentioned there are in this itunes album. There are others too, and I was pleasantly surprised by what's currently available on the US itunes store, but I'll save those for another post.

Not quite the MADWorld I was expecting...

A MAD is essentially a music video that either attempts to juxtapose characters from a completely different series into an existing opening video from another or use a song that was meant for something else and make a completely "original" music video with it using characters from a random series.

... Maybe it's better if I just showed you an example of a MAD instead. THE iDOLM@STER has festivals dedicated to this stuff on Nicovideo, and a lot of them are pretty amazing:



And if you're wondering, yes, they literally recorded those animations from the 360 port of the game, somehow pulled them out from the background stage, and did lots of clever tricks to make it look like that. And since Project Diva has been released into the wild, someone decided that maybe it was a good idea to apply this technique using Sega's 3D models of Crypton's Vocaloids. Hopefully events dedicated to this will start popping up more so I can talk about it later:



And with this post, I officially declare Vocaloid Week to be over. Hope you enjoyed my random discoveries.

I am LATE ☆ POSTING!

Runo originally announced his career as a music composer in Second Life who now makes tunes for an idol group called Negicco and supervised their Tokimeki High School (which has no relation to this game) Summer Festival just a few weeks ago. Since this is Vocaloid Week, I'm now going to say that his rise to fame came from using Miku as the vocals for his songs:



Yeah, nothing spectacular and sounds like a generic kz clone. Don't worry though; he does get better:



That song then inspired some girls from the Niigata Performance School to sing it live. His style eventually becomes a cross between OSTER Project's use of instruments and happy feelings with kz's signature dance beat.

Happy love as groovy sound indeed

Aliced Twilightz is a group primarily consisting of two people: KTG and Linco. In terms of musical style, they're very similar to kz of livetune fame and tend to work with a wide variety of people when making music. Unlike kz however, not all of their works use Vocaloids as the singers, but one of their most ambitious songs uses Miku as the vocals with Rin and Len Kagamine as the chorus, and it sounds pretty awesome:



Sometime later in 2008, it turned into a full music video and could be easily mistaken for an opening sequence to a shoujo Vocaloid anime:



What's even more interesting though is that the art style is not that much different from Hideyuki Takenami's designs for Sega's re-imagining of the Puyo Puyo universe after they acquired the rights from Compile. I'd be somewhat surprised if these renditions of the Vocaloids appear as exclusive extra characters in the PSP version of Puyo Puyo 7.

Perhaps this is the Annual Vocaloid Week

Remember how in my Project Diva article I mentioned the Korg DS-10 Synthesizer and linked to this video?



That's obviously no feat performed by mere mortals. As a matter of fact, shu-t is a top-tier composer who also happens to like using Vocaloids and Korg products (which explains why he has a DS with that synthesizer software, and you should watch his videos if you want to know the full potential of it). How good is he? He can make a 1st generation Vocaloid sound close to a real person:



Definitely someone they should use in the next Vocaloid rhythm game.

I guess this will be the beginning of the Annual Vocaloid Week?

There's a lot of artists that Sega didn't pick up for Project Diva. Sasakure-P was one of them, and that Gummy Bear Remix song I linked to yesterday (more like today, since I forgot to publish it last night) is one of his more recent works. His style typically uses chiptunes and hand-drawn sprites that emulate the NES for his Vocaloid videos, although there are exceptions like this one which looks and sounds more 16-bit:



And is half of a depressing two-part video series. The second half is more 8-bit, and despite sounding happy with blue skies and colorful sprites, is still sad:



Maybe this guy's being saved for a DS or Wii release?
