i don't even know how else to title this.
this is all just the opinions of me so don't get mad. opinions are subjective.
i've almost declared myself an ex-Vocaloid fan, but more recently realised maybe it's not true.
i've been mourning over Miku and some others -- Crypton Future Media basically realised they didn't "have" to be moral, so they ran with it.
quite frankly it's up to them whatever the hell they wanna do, they're a company after all. but still feels scummy that they did lots of what they did.
i could explain exactly "what" they did, but i'd prefer not to right now ..
one of my friends likes UTAU and decided to infodump a bit about it.
sure a lot of Vocaloid now feels really mainstream, UTAU seems still good? i think?
she showed me a cover of a track originally done with Miku - don't think it's a particularly "mainstream" track but it did get heaps of views. it was with Nikushoku, and then another cover with Sukibidi Toire as well.
idk it just kinda felt reminding in a sense.
i still love old Vocaloid and i've even got a huge archive of old Vocaloid tracks (i still haven't listened to half of them actually lmao) but it feels nice. i guess.
i've actually downloaded OpenUTAU on my laptop now and i've got Kasane Teto for the singer since one of my other friends had linked her. it feels kinda nice for some reason
still haven't used it but i'm getting there.
(also for instance, my friend linked
this video.)
(this got moved but even the whole of this is hard for me to word. i mostly just wanted to get things out but eh.
i kinda feel like i'm in trouble or something but whatever. this isn't school.
i might elaborate more in a new message actually. this one's already long.)
