I LOVE HATSUNE MIKU!!!
i love hatsune miku.... if you dont know who (or what) hatsune miku is, shes a vocaloid software voicebanl developed by crypton future media. she's arguably considered the most popular vocaloid besides the other cryptonloids, and probably vflower, having her own line and series of figures and concerts (ive been to one, actually!) miku's popularity skyrocketed after the release of the song melt by ryo, with over 13 million views on nnd (nico nico douga).i first discovered hatsune miku at around 2013-ish (late to the party, i know, but i caught up quick). all i remember was scrolling on youtube and finding ievan polka, which was my gateway into discovering vocaloid and utau music. my first vocaloid songs could be found in any "greatest hits" or "iconic" vocaloid playlists. however one song i remember feeling like was a little slept-on was stargazeR by kotsuban-p. the guitar in the beginning always wows me, even until now.
my favorite hatsune miku song!!!! (anonymous m by pinocchio-p)
as of now, my favorite vocaloid producers are pinocchio-p, deco*27, kikuo, and maretu. ive stayed around the more popular areas of vocaloid music, but that's probably because i mainly listen to the classics and more popular songs.
to be honest, i'm glad vocaloid is being introduced to a 'new generation' of fans from the project sekai game. it feels slightly elitist to not think that way, don't you think? if there's something i love in the world, i wouldn't want to gatekeep it from new fans, or withhold it from others. if anything, i want it to spread. besides, new eras will take over anyways, it's all a part of life.
