Miku is the only good thing about Mondays.

>>50433846
Miku isnt just for mondays, she's for life, you know.

>>50433846
>>50434003
FUCK YEAR!

since when the fuck did /v/ start Miku monday threads

>>50434591
Since faggots raided the board
Which means always

>>50434591
According to this thing I still have saved from the second or third one. About early December last year.

>>50434591
Since a while now.

>>50434669
Signpainter was always a /v/irgin. hell, his name comes from world of goo.

He even found out about miku in a way a /v/irgin would instead of /a/ or /jp/ or shit.

I dled the link yesterday. Great stuff man.

You know Boku, you could make a Miku thread everyday and even so we will see new Miku images, after all, there are like more than 2000+images of her.

One of these days, I gonna make a Meiko Monday. Just to gauge the reaction.

>>50434993
Try 20,000+

>>50434993
2,000? Quite the understatement. I have over 6x that alone.
And yeah, im quite aware. Small doses, man, dont wanna OD on this.

>>50435047
I doubt many people here know who she is. I could assist somewhat, but you know, Miku.

I've only really taken a look into Vocaloid really recently, but the musics actually pretty decent, though it tends to feel kinda lacking in bass. A cool, funky song with these kind of voices would be interesting and awesome.

Out of those four characters in the OP, I like Len's design the most. Funny how the only male this series seems to have is a shota, though.

>>50434993
>2000
theres links on mikuchan with over 10k, except mikuchan is down now...

>>50435121
Hell, 20.000? That's more than I thought. That's counting porn, right?

But you guys get my point. Miku is exaggeratedly popular in japan.

>>50435263
I dont get the obsession over a vocaloid. Could you please explain?

You've made this thread like 5 times today and you post the same pictures every time.

What a loser.

>>50435300
What about kaito?

I'm tired of Miku, such a shitty and overrated character, her voice is even worse than the character itself.

>>50435300
There are plenty of remixes featuring heavily in bass. Love Is War alone has a whole album dedicated to remixes called "EAGER LOVE REVENGE", lots of her famous songs got remixed in an album entitled "Re:MIKUS" and theres even some 8bit songs by 8BIT PROPHET.

>>50435372
More like before porn.

>>50435397
Some people like her for her voice, others the pictures, fanarts etc.

I, myself, love the voice and songs even though many complain its too high and inhuman/robotic. Melt was one of my first and still my favorite.

Also she's my favorite color from long before I even knew about vocaloid, Teal. But that's another story.

>>50435503
I find her voice terrible myself, I just hoard images as usual.

>>50435681
I see, thanks for the explanation. I still find Miku annoying as all hell, but I'll take my leave of this thread.

>>50435397
Im not sure what there is to explain. Shes a character like others, but.. famous. Shes just one of those characters who can be anything.

>>50435416
Actually, this is the second thread I have made today and I have not posted the same image twice.
Kudos for trying, however.

>>50435458
Kaito isnt a Vocaloid2.

>>50435458
I dunno, who is he?

>>50435610
Oh right? I'll go look for those, I guess~

>>50435372
>>50435397
Oh you have NO IDEA how big she is in Japan.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHYhMw-v90s

Although to be fair, we could also take all the fans of SotC, put them into a stadium and say that SotC is the biggest greatest video game ever. So this doesn't accurately represent how big she is, but still she is pretty big.

Guess who sings in the No More Heroes 2 soundtrack.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgOobxIJYy4

>>50435928
Oh and I believe her next "live" concert is coming up soon, sometime in march.

>>50435928
>A whole concert dedicated to a fictional character

My god what the fuck did I just watch, Japan is crazy, really crazy.

>>50436284
Yes because that's never happened before.

>>50436284
Not to mention she has album(s) under Sony labels and has even performed concerts on the PS3s Home thingy.
Next to Touhou, it probably wouldnt be an understatement to say she gets the most attention alone over every other Vocaloid for any doujin production.

>>50436284
How is any different than the Gorillaz or those other "fake" bands/groups. IF they have their own music, I'm sure a concert isn't too out there.

>>50436446
Hey, at least the lead singers of Gorillaz aren't computer programs, Miku is a 100% virtual character, even the voice, or am I wrong?

>>50436793
Yes and no.
While she is technically a fully synthesised voice, she was originally sampled from another vocal artist.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saki_Fujita

>>50436793
Her voice was sampled from a voice actress.

>>50436446
The thing with gorrilaz is, its cartoons over actual people playing the music and singing.

With Miku, it's all done on computer.

>>50436793
That I agree
Go into a concert and pay to hear somedy sing in live is something, but paying to hear something EXACT THE SAME as you can hear it at your house, and you can't even see the band...
That's just pointless to me.

If you want to discuss Vocaloid on /v/, imagedumps aren't the way to do it.

Do that kind of shit in /jp/

>>50436965
>>50436900
Does the voice actress sings in the concerts?

>>50437149
/jp/ hates vocaloid. It makes sense, vocaloid is touhous greatest enemy and of course we all know, /jp/ - touhou.

>>50437282
Vocaloid is touhou's greatest enemy?
But I like both....

>>50437149
Just passing by when I saw your post. Image dumps are better then most of /v/ right now. Please you greasemonkey to hide a thread if you disapprove of it.

A polite sage for nothing to contribute. Also thanks OP for the links.

>>50437140
Couldnt the same be said of all concerts? Assuming you buy "x band"s album, arent you just paying to hear the song which you already own?
I think the whole point of going to a concert is just for a bit of fanservice or otherwise a great atmosphere with music you enjoy and sharing it with like-minded people.
I dont see whats so pointless about that. The memories, man. Plus I imagine they sell off a bit of gear, albeit probably extortionately.

>>50437140
Yeah but theres a giant hologram of her doing all these moves and even waving to the crowd now, the music is blasted to concert volumes, special effects all that jazz. Also the instrument parts are now live.

And of course, people with disposable income usually do spend it on crazy things. Meanwhile I'm barely getting by with no job and still paying for college ;_;.

Miku :

Because your favorite character will never be as popular as her ;_;

>>50437212
What? No. Its Mikus time to shine, not hers.
Although she did do the VA work for her cameo on Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - an anime series notorious for its crossovers, cameos or other nods to series'.

>>50437402
Not really. /jp/ is just a bit.. protective.

>>50435816
>>50437428
Wow, two civilized posters on /v/ today, and this thread of all threads. What special occasion did I miss?

>>50437648
>>50437402
It's a joke stemming from this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IEZJQ09mo0

>>50437428
Oops Meant use. Sorry about that.

>>50437688
Could it be the power of Miku at work?
Or did someone spike the punch again?
Whichever, it certainly makes a nice change, doesnt it?

>>50437468
I don't see the point of a concert anyway, but I thought people went there just so they can hear the band on live.
>>50437512
Oh well, I guess if you like that kind of stuff it's okay to spent money on it, I'm no one to say who pays money for what

>>50437688
I don't feel like being a jackass and causing a shitstorm.
And just because I dislike something doesn't mean other people can't like it.

>>50437604
Oh, admit it, if your favorite character became that popular, it wouldn't be your favorite character anymore. That's just how it goes on /v/.

The same goes for me too. I like Miku alot but I also have another favorite female character and can't choose between which one I like more. I don't believe in this waifu stuff though (sometimes I do joke around), but they're just my favorite characters.

>>50437927
This is probably just as true. Personally I dont really see much point doing it purely for that, more often than not I tend to prefer the professionally recorded versions so you can actually hear things, you know?
But different strokes, man. Whatever milks their guernsey.

Ah boku, why are your miku monday threads always better than sign painters?

I'm curious, where did this thing come from anyway? >>50435121
>>50435708

>>50438053
Well, it's not fun to have a favorite character and have everybody saying: you like it just because it's popular!
But then, if you don't like it, they say: You hate it just because it's popular!

>>50433484
>Project Diva

FUCK YEAR

>>50437779
Wait... what does touhou have to do with gurren lagann?

>>50438311
I... cant comment on that, I dont want to tread on any toes.

>>50438320
Miku has long hair, its only natural some weird shit gets made up for it. Japan.

>>50438509
>Miku has long hair

Not anymore she doesn't!
holy adoracute

>>50438502
What does anything have to do with anything in that vid?
GL is just popular and its whole drill/BELIEVE IN ME WHO BELIEVES IN YOU thing is a widespread meme anyway. Same too with its art style. And Touhou gets crossed with everything; no exceptions.
Nico is more comparable to a *chan with video editing skills more so than to our youtube, anyway.

>>50438708
Her hair is now wings, your argument is void.

>>50438509
That'll do I suppose.

>>50438311
From what I've seen here and at Sign Painter's threads, there's more talking going on, if only a bit more.

>>50438502
You could also ask what does miku have to do with gl. It's just a parody. I'm pretty sure the touhou vs vocaloid thing doesn't stem directly from there though. After all they probably are the two most popular things in "NEET/otaku culture" there so it'd make sense they have a rivalry.

>>50438708

And now its an afro.
This shit is bananas.

>>50438877
Well, it's not like touhou and vocaloid are the same.
Vocaloid is music, tt does have a game.
Touhou is games, with good music.
Each one is good in their respective areas, I don't see why there should be a rivalry, just as I don't see why there should be a rivalry between cops and medics.

>>50438978
Oh god what

Long hair down = god tier. but those pigtails do really define her.

>>50439349
That's some good points, I should bring that to /jp/ and see what happens. Probably a (9) sage spam.

>>50439349
Both series are primarily popular for their characters although this is probably just as coupled with their respective genre. And you know how people can get when arguments of "mai waifu > your waifu" arise or even just "shes mai waifu, back off".
Tempers flare, words get said and before we know it, its a NEET war.
Im just speculating, but I wouldnt imagine it was too far from the truth.

Post sum fucking shirt haired Miku.

>>50439474
Nevermind. The whole front page was touhou besides a NEET thread, and interestingly a Mahjong thread, and a lol moot sticky.

>>50439794
>shirt haired
What is this I dont even

>>50439794
Short

I like vocaloid for its music, fanart, and creativity.

Vocaloid allows a lot of room for creativity, for some people who can't sing or play an instrument, they could use Vocaloids instead. Sometimes the music they make turns out to be really good or plain bad though. For example, Ryo of Supercell started off with Melt and now he's producing music with Sony Entertainment of Japan. He now composes and and has real orchestras and vocalists playing and singing his music.

I also find that A LOT of people like to cover vocaloid songs, for example the song "Just Be Friends". People have even gone to create their own versions, such as the piano, jazz, chorus, WANKO, and band versions.

Here's a chorus version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67gQ1v2iRZA


I prefer covers by real people than Vocaloids though.

>>50439860
/jp/ loves their Tenhou mahjong games. If I were any better a player I wouldnt mind joining them, but I just dont comprehend it half the time.

I wish to partake in the festivities.

>>50440085
Isn't mahjong chinese?

I really fucking hate the people on here who refuse to treat this website like an imageboard.
