vocaloid announcements are so funny to me cuz its not like a new tv show episode or game update or fanfic chapter dropped, we get all excited over a piece of computer software and i have to wonder how much of our fandomized techspeak is intelligible to other fandoms lol

for those who don't know, there's actually a pretty active VOCALOID clubbing/nightlife scene in Japan! there have been over 1300 of these small, local VOCALOID community DJ parties to date, and i just wanted to share some of the cool promo flyers people make for them 💖🎶

i wonder how many art theft allegations happen in fandoms across the internet every week because someone drew a vocaloid reference and they didnt know it was a vocaloid reference

introducing Hatsune Mushi (初音ムシ)! bug miku derivative 🪲🎶
only 39mm (~1.5in) big, bioluminescent, likes to sing in the summer. seems to be able to communicate w most insects thru a variety of auditory and luminescent signals. she can sing to ~90dB, about as loud as cicadas.

it occurred to me the other day that when vocaloid producers have numbers in their names its supposed to be said in japanese like. 8#prince "hachioji-P" 40mP "yonjuu-meter-P" mI8k "miiyake" deco*27 "deco-niina" frog96 "furokuro" etc
41
still so sad that officially-licensed hatsune miku cosplay (with sound-reactive sleeves and functional headphones) was never manufactured 😔⚰️
42
remember when i was a spamton fanartist and i just kept making VOCALOID crossover art...that was a weird period of my life
43
its ok to not get the appeal of miku! getting REALLY into vocaloid requires a lot of active, conscious searching. unlike most fandoms, there isnt a centralized, official, consistent place for source material. you have to GO to the art you enjoy more than it will just COME to you.

DID YOU KNOW: there were a total of 1,711 Nintendo 3DS home screen themes ever released for the Japanese eShop-- the final 15 of which were for VOCALOID songs! in fact, of the final 100 themes released, 58 of them (5 offscreen) were for VOCALOID songs!

dressed my spamton plush in hanbok...he is korean now 🇰🇷☎️💖

guys...esp non-vocal synth folks..."AI voicebanks" are not bad 😭 they are made with consenting and paid voice providers, make vocal tuning easier, and predate all this "AI art" nonsense to begin with...they are not to be confused with "AI art" at all!!

happy international womens day to the MOST international woman, hatsune miku
