The songs are being sung by a colorful and fictional characters that can be placed in so many creative settings! The most recognizable one is, obviously, Hatsune Miku. This is also one of the pulling factors when people get into Vocaloid music.

I guess I should clarify now that every Vocaloid voice has an avatar to represent the voice singing. These games feature songs created by independent creators and original 3D animated dances for each one with several different Vocaloids from Crypton, including Hatsune Miku, Megurine Luka, Kaito, and Kagamine Rin and Len! The Crypton Future Media Vocaloids even have their own series of rhythm games, Project Diva. Clearly, Hatsune Miku isn’t a small name in North America anymore. More recently, Ashnikko used Hatsune Miku in her song Daisy 2.0, which blew up on TikTok and other social media platforms. Hatsune Miku, who I will talk about more later on, opened for Lady Gaga and was even scheduled to perform at Coachella! That was before Covid-19 shut the event down, of course. Vocaloid concerts even exist! Holograms of these virtual singers can be projected on stage, and music made by dozens of producers will be “sang” by these characters throughout the night. Anyone can create with Vocaloid, and every song that’s created adds to a growing list of performances by the virtual avatars. In my opinion, the main appeal of Vocaloid is the unique sounding vocals and the emphasis on community. This means a music artist can create vocals without using a real singer and has more control over their project.

This allows producers to generate singing and speaking by typing in words and creating melodies! It works similarly to Siri or Cortana on your phone. The software works by gathering data from voice providers and places all the recordings from the provider into a voice bank. It originally wasn’t even going to become a finished product, but Yamaha picked up the project and released it to the public commercially in 2004, which is, funnily enough, the year Iwas born! :0 “Vocaloid” is the name of a singing voice synthesizer developed in a joint research project led by Kenmochi Hideki at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Spain. So what exactly are Vocaloids, and why are so many people interested in them? If you’ve found yourself browsing the internet, (or have talked to me at all) you’ve most likely come across Vocaloids. They were at the height of their popularity in the late 2000s and early 2010s, although these virtual pop stars still have massive fanbases.
