@@VOCARITZ The disappearance of Hatsune Miku and Akita Neru were litterally born from the community coping from Miku being shadowbanned The former is one of the 1st song that pushed the limit of what vocaloid singing could do from this event, while the latter is a fan character made in direct response to the community malding in social networks, telling it to calm down and "put it to rest" Ironically, I believe this event actually was a good fuel to get Miku trending and to get her to stick out from other vocaloids 2nd irony is that, now, Akita Neru IS the one dissappearing from modern vocaloid community because she's becoming very old despite being an officially recognized character Please, remember the yellow one! She's a fan vocaloid but she's basically OUR vocaloid ;v;

I might be wrong, but from what I remember, LEON, LOLA, Miriam, MEIKO, KAITO, Big Al, and Sweet Ann were all in development at the same time by YAMAHA (of course, Big Al and Sweet Ann would be delayed until Vocaloid2).

@remuremu399

Ай бұрын

They didn't. Kaito and Meiko (originally codenamed "Taro" and "Hanako" respectively) along with Leon and Lola were originally developed for "Daisy" (this was the name for the program before Yamaha decided on "Vocaloid") during the same general time frame. Leon and Lola were both officially released on January 15, 2004, Meiko was released on November 5, 2004, and Kaito was released on February 14, 2006. From what I can gather, Lola and Leon were the only vocals to be showcased during the "Daisy Project" era, while K+M were showcased LATER when the project had already been renamed to "Vocaloid." Information on this era of Vocaloid is a bit scarce unfortunately, so I'm not entirely sure if Leon and Lola got their first showcase in 2002 or if it was in 2003. What I do know, however, is that M+K definitely didn't predate them. Also, just to clarify, by 2003 (the year the Logic System album came out), the program had already been renamed to Vocaloid.

Honarable mention IMO goes to the time Toyota USA did an ad campaign focused on a then-recent Corolla with Hatsune Miku in 2011 (Around the same time she was getting popular in the US).

It’s crazy how much vocaloid has aged over the years. Vocaloid will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Were learning voice synthysizer history with this one

This is actually epic and made me emotional what

1:53 the banger that brought me here 😂

I can’t believe I share a birthday with Meiko

And remember, we owe Neru for keeping Miku alive while she was shadowbanned from all of google in 2007 because she was rising in popularity so fast google couldn't handle it!!! Both Neru & Disappearence of Hatsune Miku were created as a direct result of the almost-Miku-death of 2007 lol. If I remember correctly, Neru was created not just as a Miku derivative but as a way to keep Miku alive and protesting the shadowban! There are so many other fun facts, important historical moments, and especially haitorical songs that weren't included that I could add, but this one is one of the most overlooked, in my opinion!

I got into Vocaloid in 2014 right around Flower's release and i remember all the exciting moments from the 2014-2016 era. I discovered Vocaloid through a utaite cover of Inokori Sensei (flower's demo song) and never looked back. I remember getting super hyped over new song releases fromy favourite producers. And the whole community getting excited over Fukase, Engloids getting better and better (ie: Cyber Diva), V4X voicebanks, Miku at David Letterman and all the Project Diva edits. This new 2020s Vocaloid era is different for sure but still a lot of fun!
