Hold your papers

"i’ve been teaching myself to cry so that you know how much you’re loved" this line is so powerful. even if it's meant to be from the point of view of the vocaloid, these words can mean so much for real people. learning to handle and embrace your emotions, to ultimately end up with love. it moved me to tears when i first heard it, truly a beautiful sentiment.

_ "Porter" is ポーター in katakana (PŌ-TĀ). _ ぽうたあ in hiragana (read the same, but written as PO-U-TA-A). _ うた means song (U-TA). _ "Po-uta" is "Porter" but japanised and written so that it separates the word "song". Fun and clever name!

I agree, but even if it sounds so robotic it feels alive. The breathy voice indicates that it was brimming with life, even though it is just a Vocaloid, I can feel a strong attachment to it. I just love how Porter Robinson made Po-uta a machine brimming with life. It was just like the main theme in his recent music. His theme is a huge blend of machine and life. Even though it sounds robotic, you can feel that it has emotions just like humans. And his lyrics get me so emotional, every time I hear his music. It was so full of life and emotions and I applaud Porter Robinson for that.

A virtual being teaching itself how to show human emotions through tears for the sake of making their human feel loved is so sweet

I can't wait to see actual covers of nurture with this.

Wow, amazing song! It reminds me of "Sad Machine" and "Goodbye to a World", which have similar themes of computers outliving/saying goodbye to humans and are also sung by a Vocaloid program. But on the other hand, the song's melancholic optimism makes it feel right at home in the current Nurture era. Po-uta is a happy sad. Po-uta is Porter Robinson.

From working with Avanna, a vocaloid, to becoming a vocaloid himself. Wow. This is crazy! This looks like an April Fool's Day joke, but, it apparently isn't. Just wow.

Can't believe it's been a year already, I still feel like it's only been a week since this released.

How can this man make a DEMONSTRATION song so meaningful and emotional now I have to buy this just to cry listening to little porter robotson.

I cared for my grandmother the last 7 months of her life. She stepped in as a guardian for me when my parents were struggling with substance abuse. She was the kindest most loving soul and taught me to be the same. I feel my grief in this song and can’t listen without crying and hoping I can be just like her. I love you Grandma Georgina ❤

Porter's Nurture style voice in Vocaloid. What more could you want. The Vocaloid artists are gonna have a field day with this. I can see a tidal wave of songs from them.

HIS DESIGN AND VOICE IS SO GOOD 😭

bro how are you gonna make me cry from a promotional vocaloid demo wtf

a vocaloid announcement with a demo song that also wrenches your heart from your soul, killing you instantly. thanks porter i have a class in ten minutes and im crying

This being the “final” nurture song is so befitting, but sad lol. Immortalizing the sound but also leaving it behind. Well thought out porter 💚

This means so much 😭 Worlds, Nurture, and Porter's honest interviews have helped and encouraged me to continue through so many periods of depression, anxiety, and self-doubt. I recently finished an album using Vocaloid Oliver that took me 7 years to make and was shocked some of my friends resonated with how I feel, which I couldn't express in words. I now realize it's okay and valuable to bare your soul. Can't wait to play with this and continue the message that's been so life-changing for me. 🙌💜

Porter did not need to go this hard for a tech demo

Oh, How the time has flown away... I remember in 2014, there were barely V3 vocaloids... I had a 500 GB collection of music... Now what I see, is another great person has been immortalized as a Vocaloid. It's nice Porter... It's nice.

I've been listening to this nonstop and the crying's been nonstop too having listened since Sad Machine, this feels like the culmination of a decade of dreams, and I'm so lucky to have been with it every step of the way Can't wait to see what's next

The part of the song that makes me break down sobbing is "We're gonna take everything and never stop. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I was made from you."

I love it! The songs meaning is somewhere between "Odds&Ends" and "Disappearance of Hatsune Miku" two of the greatest vocaloid meta songs IMO

love how porter's slowly going back to his post-apocalyptic robot lore bullshit again

透明感があって柔らかいけど芯が通っているような真っ直ぐでいい声。 日本へのリスペクトが感じられるネーミングがおしゃれでいいね

these lyrics are so simple yet beauiful, it feels like a look back into the concept behind worlds but with the beauty and honesty of porter's new style. and all that for a quick vocaloid demonstration. what a legend

porter will live forever now.

I am not very familiar with VOCALOID, but since I live in Japan,I am familiar with this culture. I was very surprised to hear that your voice will be used for a VOCALOID. Congratulations! I am looking forward to hearing more great music from you in the future.

the lyrics feels like the perfect combination of the intimacy of Nurture and the wonder of Worlds. i can't express in words how happy i am. I hope Po-uta is not a Sad Machine like dear Avanna before him. heh.

This feels like a sequel to Sad Machine

I'm in tears.. this is so emotional for so many of us.. personally.. I know what it's like to be the child of a deceased parent.. I feel these lyrics really resonate with it.. We are so proud of you Porter.. Welcome to the Vocaloid family Po-Uta.. this song.. it just 😭 it makes me wanna do something..

This is going to be huge for porter fans, and people who struggle with voice insecurity

The producer to Vocaloid pipeline really does come full circle!! Can't wait to see what songs people will make with your voice! Po-uta x Avanna collab when!? 👀

It's a nice pun there! In Japanese Porter is pronounced 'pōtā' (the 'o' and 'a' is pronounced a bit longer). The reason he named it 'Po-uta' is because the Japanese word for 'song' is 'uta' (歌). When 'o' is followed by 'u', the 'o' is pronounced longer but the 'u' is silent, for example, the word 'nichijou' (which means 'daily life') is pronounced 'nichijō'. It's not just a nice pun, but a triple pun!

"But nothing lasts forever And someday soon you'll sing your final song But they said that's why you made me: To pass the music on" -I like this because the one thing I'm scared of is losing people close to us and they'll be forgotten, however Porter wants to be remembered and made this Vocaloid to carry on his legacy.

Vocaloid has been the one of the most positive things in my life. It’s gotten me through some of the hardest parts of my life. I was diagnosed with chronic acute pancreatitis as a child, and it’s made everything, from middle school up until college now, so much more of a challenge. Vocaloid music connects with me in a way that I can’t even explain… and songs like Sad Machine and Fresh Static Snow have been some of my favorites :) To have Porter come back to vocaloid in such a crazy cool way makes me happier than I’ve been in a long time :) I love Vocaloid, I love Porter and his music, and I am so grateful to still be here to experience music like this. I don’t think I could have gotten to this point without either of them. Also, I like how the tuning style is similar to kz (livetune) style, you may know him from songs like Tell Your World, Weekender Girl, and Last Night Good Night :D

Finally calmness...

I love how Porter's been incorporating themes about AI into some of his recent works, it's a surprisingly topical issue these days as artists are wondering what their role is going to be in the future, while the technology itself is developing incredibly fast... From this point of view, AI poses itself as both the problem and as the solution. The lyrics for this song are well integrated into the concept of growing a legacy, but how that will manifest in the future can sometimes be scary to think about. Despite this, him choosing to express his voice through a vocaloid can still act as a useful instrument to put mental images into words, mirroring the role of the vocal processing from Nurture. I'm also curious about how the technology behind vocaloids will evolve in the future considering some of the results in speech synthesis we've seen so far!

This is just a demo, and yet it still bops and gets stuck in my head everytime I listen to it.

I wasn’t expecting sad machine to produce its own music
