Hatsune Miku - Vocaloid (1)

Have you heard of Vocaloid?

Vocaloid(=Vocal+Android) is a vocal-synthesizing software by YAMAHA that enables users to synthesize singing by just typing in lyrics and music notes.
Swedisch company PowerFX and Japanese Crypton made softwares with it.

I got one of the softwares Kagamine Rin/Len lately and began making songs with it. As soon as possible I wanna post it.

The video below is created by the popular software Hatsune Miku.

My Neighbor Totoro

Both of the software and character in the video is called Hatsune Miku. It became popular because Crypton didn't use any singer as other softwares but a voice actress and secondly it allowed user to use the character freely.


However, you can create only singing voice with Vocaloid. So you must use other programs too when you make complete music. And I recommend to choose Vocaloid that can sing English. My Rin und Len can't pronounce L!
