It actually led into my embarrassing weeaboo phase… actually, if I’m being honest, it was my embarrassing weeaboo phase. For your convenience, she’s pictured to the left, although to be honest I wouldn’t be surprised if you recognize her, because she’s appeared in a few Toyota commercials here in the West recently.Īnyway, I was really into Vocaloid in middle school. The most iconic and easily-recognized Vocaloid is the Japanese Vocaloid Hatsune Miku, who has become such a recognizable face in Japan that she’s also appeared in many other places all over the world. These voices are generally given appearances and names, although their personalities and details of their stories are usually dictated (or not) by the people who use them, meaning that they can play many different contrasting roles in many different stories presented by many different songs. It allows users to create their own songs by putting in lyrics and notes, the former of which are sung by a synthesized voice.
I relived a time period in my life I tried to forget – my Vocaloid phase.įor those completely uninitiated, Vocaloid is a voice-synthesizing software created by Yamaha. I started out just listening to my regular music, but then, unexpectedly, a related video link led me down a path I swore I’d never walk again. In the time period between realizing the problem and fixing it, I was without my handy dandy collection of music, so I ended up having to rely on YouTube and other non-SD card reliant sources for my daily fix of tunes. I managed to recover most of the files, but when I tried to put a new SD card in, that one corrupted too, and the next one too… and soon enough I figured it was my phone that was the problem. Still, accidents happen, and a few months ago my phone’s SD card corrupted unexpectedly. For this very reason, my phone is always loaded with 300+ songs and almost always has a pair of earbuds wrapped around it. If I accidentally leave my earbuds at home when coming to school, I feel like I’m missing an arm. Today’s post is borne of a trying personal experience for me.
