Vocaloid/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* Ok, I just didn't get: ''Alice Human Sacrifice''; ''Wide Knowledge of the Late Madness''; and ''Dark Woods Circus''. Can anyone summarize them for me?

** If I remembered correctly, ''Alice Human Sacrifice'' is based on the history of those Vocaloids. Consider Miku's part of the song and you will probably notice it.

***** I'm part of the Vocaloid fanfiction community. I'm friends with many of the [[Rinx Len]] fans, being one myself, and every single one of them supports yaoi/yuri and many write for it. I do too... Maybe it's the [[YouTube]] ones? Also, I find that there are some good fanfictions on the site, but you're partially right. A large amount of the fanfiction is pretty bad, especially if you're not fond of Kagaminecest. The section is dominated by that pairing.

**** I've been reading there for a while, and while most of it's not so good there are a few. Still don't see the hate, though-- At least, not at any higher (or rather, at much lower) rates than other fandoms. I'm not sure how the lack of quality fic relates to the original, or the branch-off which is: Why do people I meet who ship Kaito/Len or Gakupo/Len hate Rin/Len with the hate of a thousand fiery suns? I've come across that much more than the one asked here.

**** IMHO, since they are robots, it's like that psychology thing: your ideal love is the opposite gender version of you.

** Would make sense she'd be fine with that. Meiko was out to get revenge on Rin, and she and Kaito rebelling against her tyranny led to Rin losing ''everything'', including the one person who sincerely loved her, but now she has to live on, alone, with nothing. [[Fate Worse Than Death]], I'd say.

** But Daughter of Vengeance is ''fanmade'', not made by Akuno-P/mothy himself. It's up to the reader to decide. But since the original songs imply nothing of the sort, I'd say Meiko didn't know. It'd be very unlikely she'd kill an innocent instead of the person who ''killed her father'' (according to mothy's blog). The PV linked is also not the original PV.

*** The tropes are applied to the songs and popular fan interpretations. There is a sort of story to each song. So, to answer your last question, the same way one applies tropes to music and music videos.

**** Count me among the baffled. Isn't it true that anyone who buys the software for $180 can make it play whatever song she wants? Shipping Vocaloids makes as much sense as "Roland x Fairlight" or "trombone x french horn" shipping would.

* You want to know what I don't get? Why there's [[Ship-to-Ship Combat]] and [[Internet Backdraft|Internet Backdrafts]] everywhere in regards to pairings...for a fandom whose canon ''[[You Fail Logic Forever|changes with each song]]''. It makes absolutely no sense to me. Sure, I'm not too fond of Len x Rin or Kaito x Luka, but you don't see me going [[Yandere]]-crazy whenever I see people shipping it.

** On an unrelated note, should UTAU and Vocaloid be two seperate articles? I'm just curious since they're seperate programs, the only difference being in that UTAU is just a freeware version of Vocaloid and isn't allowed to use famous singers/actors.

** There's something in the Lin/Ren names that makes it easy to mix up.

** Japanese has no L sound, so the two are interchangeable.

* Okay, as a Mac user myself, I find it really frustrating that the VOCALOID programs are not available for Macs (or at least the ones that I looked into so this might not be completely true). This seems unfair seeing as I don't want to have to go out and buy a compatible computer so as to use the software and since it doesn't seem like they're planning to release them for Macs, it just bugs me even more.

** Using MikuInstaller or Wine (since they're both built in the same platform) works like a charm. Absolutely no bugs. (Mac user here who's tested it out.)

** The correct translation is "By this sea, there existed / An ancient tradition from long before".
