Vocaloid Vol. 3 - UNCUT 6 Song Study: 'Mesmerizer,' 'phony,' 'Binomi,' 'Igaku,' 'Psi' & 'Melty Land Nightmare' (72 min)

I love r906 love ur reactions to them i hope u react to them more !

R-906 is my new favorite Vocaloid artist of all time and I think he deserves a study of his own

I see Psi I click IMMEDIATELY omggg

More on r-906's Psi: One interpretation is that the song is reflecting on how people constantly consume and move on from things without spending time to digest and remember it, the silence part at 57:55 is supposed to represents the listener skipping the song. At the very beginning Miku said "Don't touch my right hand", and if you watch it on mobile, that 'skip' part happens immediately when the youtube skip button overlap with miku's right hand. And the next few lines are: "You just touched my right hand" "Even if I ask you not to give up on me, it's pointless because you've already left" "You don't even remember the candy 80 seconds ago taste like" The song use 'amezaiku/candy sculpture' as a metaphor for all the 'songs', a lot of time it can catches people's attention because they're colorful and attractive but people move on so quickly they never pay attention to its 'taste' or what went into making them. In the end, the MV returned to normal and the song end with "Without even knowing I’m vomiting blood in the back alley, you are walking away." "I wonder what color I should decorate it with next time?" the message here is probably even though the effort behind each work often goes unnoticed, creators still have to keep adapting, trying something new and hoping it'll capture someone's attention next time. And it's indeed very hard to catch the lyrics on the first watch through for a lot of vocaloid songs, I'm pretty sure it's hard for Japanese people as well (because of the unnatural robotic pronunciation, speed, and sometime extreme high notes)😂

If you would like to do a study on singer vs voicebank... Kikai no Koe Live is probably your best example that the label for KAF blessed us observers with. 5 singers and their voice synth counterparts singing together in one song. Interchanging between one another, while some might try and sing in a manner opposed to their voice synth and some who tries to sing closer to them.

Bit more on Igaku: "Dr Kidori" is probably meant to be interpreted as 気取り, the noun form of 気取るKidoru which means "To pretend to be" or "To pose as". It would roughly be like the character being named "Dr. Poser" or "Dr. Fake"

So many good songs this time! Always a treat to see you react to vocaloid songs

these songs were all excellently chosen. btw, I'm sure soemone else will mention it. But there was even *another* whole layer on top of everything else in mesmerizer. The song is *riddled* with secret messages and cries for help, hidden in the music video. From teto blinking SOS with her eyes, to signing 'help' in sign language. This was a very enjoyable listen. very well done.

30:00 Not sure I agree that Maretu songs tend to be sweet sounding. Perhaps the vocaloid tuning and 8-bit elements, but generally it's quite dark or even dissonant. 1:09:15 Well, with Vocaloid songs you can focus on the music instead of the vocals. Should make it easier to get through more songs.

Harusaruhi from V.W.P of Kamitsubaki studios did the cover you heard of psi

The hitomania connection was due to sasuke producing the kasane teto original version lol, gigi murin's is a cover, she also has an igaku cover

If we get enough hearts, there is a bundle study requests for the duets of the V.W.P girls( KAF is a part of this group) alongside their vocal synth counterparts(virtual isotopes) singing original songs so that might be fun tim. https://requests.timwelchmusic.com/r/6990047b-a00c-4e1d-b2f5-e0d5437850ae

I was waiting for this reaction the whole week! 🔥 You would be surprised by how many good covers there are of Mesmerizer and tbh all of the songs in the list, some utaite like Mafumafu and Wolpis Carter can even sing it in the original key! Edit: The reason for why you made the connection to the Hitomania cover of Gigi is very easy. Sasuke Haraguchi produced Hitomania the original vocaloid song 😂 You also heard the Psi cover of Harusaruhi who is one of the best rappers in the vsinger scene!
