Topic: Vocaloid Fan Club

This is a thread for all you people who are obsessed (or atleast slightly interested) in Vocaloid.

For those people who don't know what Vocaloid is, it's basically a singing synthesizer software that was commercially released out into the public by the Yamaha Corporation.
Here's an example of Vocaloid2 software:

The popularity of the Vocaloid software has gained momentum these past few years, and has been included in the OVA, Black Rock Shooter. (you could call it a Anime short) The Software was initially released back in 04', and the first vocaloids were introduced, Leon, Lola, and Miriam in North America. Later that year, the Vocaloids Kaito and Mieko were introduced in Japan. In 2007, due to the success of Vocaloid, Yamaha announced Vocaloid2. Vocaloid2 improved on the original Vocaloid software and released new singers, now this is where Vocaloid really began to gain popularity. Hatsune Miku, Rin and Len Kagamine, Prima, Gackpoid, Megurine Luka, Gumi, Sonika, Big Al, Tonio, Lily and other vocaloids were introduced into the mix. A video game following the success of the Vocaloid software and was released only in Japan, it was titled: Hatsune Miku Project Diva and is based on the Vocaloid, Hatsune Miku. The video game recieved great reviews and it received a sequel, Hatsune Miku: Project Diva 2. In 2010, a Vocaloid Concert toured japan, using holograms to portray Hatsune Miku to be dancing and singing to an audience.

So Vocaloid fans rejoice! This thread is for everything and anything you want to talk about that relates to vocaloid.

There was a thread about this a while ago, iirc. Not really into the music, but the tech (Vocaloid's holographic stage performance) was pretty cool.

Vocaloids (and that first concert you posted, ChiyoKat) were brought up in this existing thread. Feel free to add to the discussion of them there :3
