Celebrating 'Godish' HATSUNE MIKU & Ado's Versions DEEP SONG & VOCAL STUDY

It's worth noting that vocaloid voice banks are taken from samples of real singers singing all the quanta of sound that are put together to make the final song. So the human element is there all the way through, from the creation of the voice bank, to the production and tuning of the singing, etc. This is also why different vocaloids have different qualities in their singing, it's because they are sampled from different human singers. I hope you continue to explore vocaloid, it's a huge world. I love how it has overlapped with the vtuber world too. Just this morning Miku made a guest appearance at Anya Melfissa (hololive indonesia Gen 2)'s 3d performance. They sang and danced together, it was very fun! That might be an interesting thing to react to if you get the chance!

The beauty of vocaloid and Hatsune Miku in general, is the more you listen....you almost forget its not a real voice. The way they tune the sounds gets really realistic over time

13:20 The line "Profitable, yet graciousness is THE END" / "景気いいけど 品性は the end" 景気 means "economic condition/ prosperity" when people said 景気いい basically mean "business is booming/ good economic/things are doing great" and 品性 means "dignity/moral/quality/personality" so the line basically means "Though everything is booming/thriving, yet it's the end for morality/personality"

I think the highlighted part in the genius website is suppose to be line that has extra annotation, if you click it you can see the note! PinocchioP said he wanted to make a "Something-ish" song, and you can tell Ado really gets it she sang it in all kinds of -ish vibe. (Ado sang this when she's 19, same time when she did those One Piece Film Red songs) Also the line 4:39 "It's like dying while insist 'I'm super super healthy'" was supposed to be a reference of Ado's Usseewa lyrics: "Shut up, I'm way healthier than you think!" And Ado noticed it which is why she sang that line in a very Usseewa-ish vibe PinocchioP even said "That part was so peak I started clapping when I heard it!" to Ado in their interview together! (In the interview they were both making sure that line was supposed to be a Usseewa reference lol) & PinocchioP also wrote Ado's original song "I'm a Controversy" Also, Vocaloid software has a lot of parameters you can adjust, like vibrato, pitch bend, brightness, breathiness, etc. And the process of editing the vocal is called "tuning". Even when using the same voice bank, each producer's tuning can sound quite different. I'd say sometime the same voicebank can sound more different between producers than two different voicebanks with the same producer. More detail about Vocaloid's parameters: https://vocaloid.fandom.com/wiki/Using_the_Parameters There's definitely 'expressions' you can do with vocaloid, its just completely different than human voice, you'll notice more of the tuning differences once you heard more Vocaloid song. (Like some producer's miku can sound more natural, some more robotic, etc) There’s also a reason why utaite are so associated with Vocaloid culture. As Vocaloid rose in popularity, a huge cover-singer culture grew alongside it in Japan. Cuz Vocaloid songs are almost like a blank sheet vocally for singers to build on. People are much less likely to compare a cover directly to the “original vocal” compared to songs originally sung by humans. (I think Ado once said one of the reason she loves Vocaloid so much is because it's so different from human) Also if you didn't notice PinocchioP actually animated the entire music video and drew the illustration himself too (a lot of Vocaloid producers, especially in their early days, usually do everything themselves) And also also, the voice provider for Hatsune Miku is Saki Fujita, she's a voice actor and she voiced Ymir from Attack on Titan!

Tell me, Tim, what sounds much more interesting live? The song gives you a completely different feeling.

24:48 Before, she started at age 14. You have listened to one of her pre-debut Vocaloid covers, "Brain Revolution Girl". But she still does it and almost all of her original songs are composed by Vocaloid producers. The thing that set Ado apart from other utaite was the way she usually used these songs as a blank canvas to play around with and create a completely different vibe with just her voice. Here is Ado performing the song "Sakura Bityori and Time Machine" live at the National Stadium alongside Hatsune Miku - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrr2gFTYMGQ
