Weekly Vocaloid Feature - 天ノ弱

Saturday, May 28, 2011
Some GUMI time.Title: 天ノ弱, Ten no Jaku, Weakness of HeavenProducer: 164Illustration: 鳥越タクミ (Bird something. Don't know second character Takumi)Genre: VocaRockVocaloid: GUMIKenn's Comment: Not exactly sure whether that's the right translation or not. The middle character is the katakan for the 'no' (の) sound, so I translated it thinking that the katakana was put in place of the hiragana.Anywho, it's great sounding, as is almost everything...

Friday, May 27, 2011
A favourite song of mine as of late.Title: ZzzArtist: Sasaki SayakaGenre: PopSingle: ZzzAlbum: N/AVintage: 23/05/11Kenn's Comment: Not sure whether this will continue, but 日常 Episode 8 used the a capella version of this song as the ED.

はじめまして。ケンです。

Monday, May 23, 2011
Two weeks into JAPN100, and this is more or less a good indication of my progress thus far.Should be legible, yeah? It's a self-introduction for the first paragraph, and then I describe a classmate in the second (which is why it's so much shorter). I really don't go into too much detail, which is why I'm putting it up. Plus, why would I...

Weekly Vocaloid Feature - Neverland

Saturday, May 21, 2011
Happy Rapture day!Title: NeverlandProducer: KEIGenre: Pop-RockVocaloid: VY-1Kenn's Comment: Another great song from KEI. It's got a catchy tune and a great melody. It's got lots fof energy and MIZKI (VY-1 codename) sounds as good as always. Should note that there's probably more than one reason the picture has no features. VY-1 is an avatarless Vocaloid program. While it has an exception voicebank, those...
