All About GUMI

[@ersatzandartifice]

always thought it was impressive how many varied and expressive voicebanks gumi had. i remember being stunned when i initially heard her english vb.

[@dangeromusic2000]

What's surprising about her English voice bank having good pronunciation is that, from what I've gathered, Nakajima-San can't speak English herself. At least, I haven't found any clips. I've always been impressed with people who may not speak a certain language, but they can sing in it just fine (Rainych being a good example). Just thought that would be worth sharing.

[@aicka]

confession time: I used to not like gumi for some reason. But I learned to love her voice SO much, and im sad shes not getting as many bangers. I like Vflower and KAFU too but... gumi...

[@shoymin1238]

you litteraly have the same taste as me

[@mskittygemma]

GUMI is literally carrying VOCALOID6 on her back and so happy that she is still going after over 10+ years. Do you think you could do one on some other loids like Gakupo or MEIKO?

[@declaredDove]

I’m also hopeful that with gumi getting some songs into project sekai she gets introduced to newer fans that way. I feel like vocaloid and other singing synths are definitely swinging back into popularity so it would be great to see it spreading to some old favorites.

[@RikoExtras]

Here I am from project sekai, got into vocaloid like 1 year ago and i absolutely love everything about it Gumi songs are so good! I hope they make more bangers soon lol

[@athena139]

here from project sekai because i am absolutely obsessed with gumi's voice from the songs of hers in-game!!! she's so cool

[@pileofsocks8287]

They’re are many! (I have a whole playlist dedicated to her songs)

[@misaoayakarox]

GUMI has always been my all time favourite vocaloid

[@user-ot8wl7oh9s]

I love gumi she's literally my most favorite vocaloid right next to flower her sound is just aaaaaaaaaaaaa i can't get enough of it, it's really hard to messed up using her.

[@DA_TV71]

Same!! ❤️‍🔥 My fav!

[@Not_Kaitlyn]

I love Gumi's voice. It's like Miku's but more mature, idk how to put it.

[@Tamanegi-P]

As a person who owns 3 GUMI voicebanks, whose first Vocaloid song was Ten-Faced, whose favorite Vocaloid song of all time is Yowamushi Montblanc/Coward Montblanc, (2nd fav song of all time) and who's had GUMI as their favorite Vocaloid since the age of 11, I thank you for this.

[@Tamanegi-P]

Update, I own 6 now.

[@okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

Gumi my beloved, back when I was newly fascinated by vocaloid but Miku's voice hurt my ears, Gumi was there with her unique, softer voice and absolute bangers. Now I love all my precious vocasynth children but Gumi will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@aidansedelnick4443]

I find it quite interesting that Gumi will soon get a SynthV voicebank despite having a V6 voicebank

[@saiikarin2334]

Gumi has the advantage of already having a good english voicebank on top of her japanese voicebank and with vocaloid 6 allowing users to implement both languages onto the same editor (which im sure will make it much easier for producers to implement English into japanese songs and vice versa). I have hope we’ll see her regain popularity through more songs in the future. Especially with games like project sekai featuring songs sung by her. I’m excited for her future

[@Mellun-P]

1:24 The reason it’s “poid” instead of “loid” is because in Japanese, Megpoid is spelled like “メグッポイド” (meguppoido) and the “ッポイド” (ppoido) part is a pun on the words “ロイド” (roido/loid) and “っぽい” (ppoi) which means “similar to” or “-like”, making her name literally mean “Meg-like loid” behind the pun! Same thing for Gackpoid and Gachapoid.

[@amirulaiman8673]

Kasane Teto just had both her 15th Anniversary happened AND finally received a real commercial voicebank on SynthV! Would love if you could explain the story behind Teto and how impactful she has become in the Vsynth scene especially Utau as she basically became the face of Utau!

[@ChoccyMilkk]

Funny coming here after Gumi had SynthV VB announced! Gumi is everywhere and I really love how eclectic she has proven to be, multiple voicebanks and softwares. I'll always have her above Miku in my personal ranking.

[@GloriaTheAnimator]

you forgot to mention that before synth V came out, and all this ai stuff, gumi was the ONLY ONE who could actually speak english without needing subtitles

[@FrecktBoons-sr9op]

Amasing

[@pileofsocks8287]

Shes built different

[@madamadadane7989]

GUMI's voice is incredibly versatile. I was so used to her in pop songs and loved her being used by Hachi and MachigeritaP when I was younger but I am really enjoying her in metal as I got older. Undeniably my favorite voicebank. Her GUMI AI hasn't really captured me because I truly enjoy her without the extra effects to her voice. I am sad she's not as popular but the Western audience love her and she's excellent with English songs.

[@EmariePeach]

gumi is always a welcomed voicebank in songs for me. she has so much range and her english is absolutely wild. you did so good on this , i can't believe how you fit so much information into a relatively short video

[@touhouandvocaloidfan8682]

im not a vocaloid user just an enjoyer but gumi was always one of my favorites since always so its nice to hear with v6 there will be maybe a good future for her :3 also is it me or....ALOT of gumi songs talks about love but not just that like sad love songs ? i dunno why but many songs i know of her are around these themes and so it give me the feeling of gumi not being the most lucky girl towards love life xD

[@plurzal]

Gumi has honestly always been my favorite vocaloid, of course I love other vocaloids, but gumi always had so many bangers, and many of her songs are actually my favorite songs. Gumi has a special place in my heart, I've loved her songs for years now. Live laugh love gumi

[@echofire688]

UGHHH I've always loved Gumi for some reason, I could never figure out why. Maybe just because Hatsune Miku was everywhere and super hyped up (don't get me wrong, I love her too), I was happy that I found my own vocaloid to love idk. Any song I listen to that has Gumi in it, I immediately love.

[@Browniedays]

Well, Gumi is carrying the Vocaloid 6 software, making her be kinda popular again, I think she will become the new face of Vocaloid and keep Vocaloid alive a little while. Although it was a shame she didn't switch to SynthV or CeVIO AI, I'm curious about how she would have sound. But in part I'm happy at least one character that is very familiar to us Still being what she was, a Vocaloid.

[@alexrod9271]

Awesome video! To this day I still believe Gumi is the ONLY Vocaloid that can compete with Miku & Crypton in the market.

[@KoishiKomejiDayo]

That touhou reference was CLEAVER. good job on this vid!

[@littlecherryartist]

I love SynthV, but I also adore the robotic sound of vocaloid, so I like gumi V6 a lot

[@ploploplop2349]

gumi is still my fave after so many years and it makes me happy that she's getting a new update! amazing vid

[@UmbreonMoonlit]

Coward Montblanc was the first song I ever heard in the Vocaloid fandom! I was in middle school when I first found out what it was and I was a Gumi fan the most instead of Miku. Miku is really cool and all but, my heart belongs to Gumi Megpoid💚

[@hellyeah6432]

Gumi has always been one of my favorites and so underrated

[@kipmorgan04]

I love GUMI so much 💚🧡

[@user-ot8wl7oh9s]

I wonder if you can do a breakdown of Kaai Yuki, I literally never heard of her before and after Inabakumori popularity spike suddenly a lot of vocaloid producer has been using her more and more too. Nulut and Balloon was pretty suprising for me in Miseen, I thought they would only stuck to Flower, Miku and Gumi but that wasn't the case.

[@daveejonesey]

I'll think about it but I'm not so sure it'll happen

[@MeltySolid]

Fantastic video davee!!!!!! Hands down the best you've ever done! The script was airtight and so dense with intesting information and the editind was just chef's kiss!! Definitely worth the long wait for this one! Can't wait to see what you put out next!!

[@abby4684]

Gumi was my favorite since I was little, gumi’s English used to be unmatched. She’s so awesome, I don’t love her design redo I miss the old one but v6 is amazing.

[@DengekiVR]

GUMI is definitely in my top 5. She has lots of great bangers, thanks to Kira. Also need an IA video next.

[@batlover1977]

Gumi has always been my favorite synth I’m glad there is a video like this so people can learn 💚💚💚

[@alexskywalker5478]

Gumi has always been my fave when I discovered her

[@BlueWizardRally]

I fall in love with her when I play osu! In 2011... and still loving her 12 years later 💚🧡💚🧡💚🧡

[@YukitoYuki]

I don’t own her V6 but her V4 Japanese complete and V3 English, I think she’s overall versatile and fantastic. I think V6 is great for those who want make Megpoid sing in Mandarin Chinese (YAMAHA added that through update) or sing English with improved smoothness. Her V3 English is well known for lacking vowel to vowel transition altogether and people needing to adjust phonemes to get around it (using semi vowels /j/ and /w/ for example). Her V6 has none of problem what I’ve heard from other users.

[@UniversalAdministrator]

The fact V6 got complete setup including pilipino based vocals when Japanese for English it's kinda complicated

[@duplollamaree1250]

Copycat was the first vocaloid song I ever heard (knowing it was a vocaloid song that is - thanks nyan cat) and it was the first I ever added to my main playlist on spotify, which recently hit 2700 songs lol. GUMI has always been my dearly beloved and I'm so very proud of how far she's got and how much music she's been used in. Love geen bug lady hope she stays weird forever

[@yoshi8780]

I’d love an all about meiko or Kaito as they were the first Japanese vocaloids

[@Panick_8238]

GUMI in a nutshell: is the best vocaloid 😎 It's all you need to know about gumi

[@Not_Kaitlyn]

I see Gumi I click I like Simple as that

[@strange7310]

Super high quality video, would love to see a redo of your Miku video with the same quality you brought to this one.

[@jameszukel4502]

That unexpected Touhou sound make my hear beat faster and feel warm😊

[@PresidentAbrahamLincoln69]

Just make VOCaLOID a subject in schools

[@SquiddoSquid]

davee upload moment

[@moonmqn]

Didnt expect to hear touhou music in a vocaloid video

[@DaRaginLombax]

I think my favorite Gumi user HAS to be Darvish/Devilish-P. Die to the connection with Nano, GUMI has just become synonymous with Rock music for me

[@starrshort6403]

I really love gumi , her voice and her songs

[@monsteralfie]

thank you so much for this informative video about gumi. she has always been my number one favorite.

[@AuserOriginal]

I didn't think I would learn so many new things.

[@marcysjournal]

literally was looking at ur channel a few days ago going "wonder when he's gonna post next" not expecting anything, then this showed up edit: great video btw! Ive loved gumi for years and I'm so happy to get a video about her

[@rociodelcielov4605]

This type of video help me alot in My tesis of vocaloid 😂❤ thanks

[@yamatokurusaki5790]

I like Gumi i felt like she was forgotten i watched this video before i guess I didn't complete it I am not really into vocaloids that much but i remember only two characters that is Gumi and ... Miku

[@OodieMcGroovy]

That Touhou 11 intro is great.

[@sidegaming3774]

I never knew gumi was a vocaloid, but i discovered after searching up smth about matryoshka. shes my fav now.

[@SauteedaKapi]

I love internet co vocaloids, I wish my girl Lily got a update

[@megup3805]

Eyy, nice video and editing! Love the touhou reference

[@Dollusionist]

Great video! I enjoyed learning a little GUMI history and always wondered why she had so few songs for such high quality voicebanks.

[@naotokamigire-terumi9912]

Out of all of them, I do gravitate to Gumi.

[@mozaik_role]

I love Gumi. I especially love Mozaik Role. Nice video! Also, is the snippet at 4:33 from Yume Yume? It sounds familiar..

[@LoraCoggins]

Vocaloid 6 also has VocaChanger, which means you can upload a voice file and make the Vocaloid sing in the style of the original singer. TORA_V4 did this with a Gumi AI cover of “All I Want for Christmas Is You”, and man… it sounds amazing.

[@--CHARLIE--]

I still find it hard to believe that ECHO has the second most views of any vocaloid song, and people still don't know thst the characyer in the video has a name, lore, and features in a lightnovel based on the song, which also has an english translation. Like seriously, why is this not common knowledge? Sorry if this seemed out of place, you brought up the viewcount of ECHO and I couldn't help myself.

[@p1nkbxxchclvb]

SUCH A GOOD VID AHHHHHH

[@seunkwoo]

My absolutely favourite GUMI songs are: Dareka no shinzou ni nareta nara by YurryCanon, Caramel Heaven and Osanana Blue by Last Note

[@blandragny9152]

I LOVE GUMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!

[@stupid_birds]

Ok thank explain about GUMI cuz when i started to listen vocaloids again i keep since GUMI songs and after like 2 years lol i wanted to know what happened to GUMI since i don't see new release GUMI songs glad to know that she can still be popular if many people use it

[@afroloid2028]

We stan and adore

[@deltaweathers]

In conclusion: Gumi best girl

[@ely9656]

I love this video

[@deadaccounthaha3053]

what do you think of the new gumi synthv voicebank?

[@tired-p762]

Gumi has always been my favorite

[@internetgangster5352]

Gummy Bear

[@Goras147]

Disregarding rooting for the underdog, I just really enjoy her voice. Add to that the good English and great English songs and you got yourself a GUMI fan. I so wish she could rival Miku, so that there's some fun on the scene, but I will be happy as long as she survives. However, if I were to imagine that crypton acquired rights to her and promoted her (she still has a following of as we all know), it would make me happy as well. I just want the girl to be famous lol.

[@tasnimbari4012]

PLEASE do an "all about Gakupo" video

[@badplayer817]

gumi has set the bar for me in the vocaloid genre, so just listening to any other vocaloids out there feels off

[@s.ekkii_]

Can you do a video about the Korean Vocaloids SeeU and UNI?

[@TheBlanketGhost]

I'm so sad Deco stopped producing songs. He is amazing at composing and tuning for her AND Gumi's version of LOVE DOLL is the superior version idc what anyone thinks

[@noname-lb3sg]

I want her to be in project sekei so badly

[@inyourwaIIs1234]

Too bad, Gumi isn’t from Crypton.

[@batrishaiscute]

Gumi is underrated

[@KajiRider1997]

Gumi being designed by Masami Yuki makes her #2 vocaloid for me. only under Luka. With Miku as 3rd. Because Birdy

[@lauradisarsztre3640]
