【MAIKA】Waves of Change【Original English Demo】

[@purplecosmonaut]

The best thing about Maika, in my opinion, is that she can easily reach higher notes without entering falsetto like Avanna, Miku or Kaito. It's not only impressive, but very much appreciated. Few are the vocaloids that can actually do that. I don't understand Spanish at all, but lately I've found myself listening to more and more Maika songs and covers thanks to her beautiful voice and wide vocal range. Wish more cocaloids were produced without relying on falsetto so much.

[@Kasuka.]

Oh wow *A* She sounds so gorgeous in English! Her accent isn't even that strong in my opinion. It's so great that she can sing in other languages than Spanish just without having extra VBs for those. :3 I like her even more! I wonder if a friend of mine could let her sing in German 'A' Very beautiful song!

[@EmpathP]

thank you so very much

[@phaineinTV]

I WAS FINE UNTIL THE LAST CHORUS AND THEN IT HAPPENED AND NOW IM A GROSS WEEPING MESS THANKS, AKI.

[@EmpathP]

BWAHAHAHA I REGRET NOTHING

[@AngeliGardner]

This song is so old, yet I still love it death. The emotions conveyed in this amazing song was spot on and I can't get enough.

[@Thenpai]

Of course it's beautiful. Maika is actually good and deserves an English voicebank...and possibly a Japanese one. She sounds amazing in Spanish and in English. And oh, we knew we would be spammed with Kaito English from you. It's like a no brainer.

[@kyleetime]

_Oh my gosh, she sounds so beautiful-_

[@robinthetactician1039]

_I shall have a listen..._

[@kyleetime]

Hylian Maxwell _Listen now._

[@robinthetactician1039]

_BUT I have to get ready for school... ;~;_

[@kyleetime]

_Everything MAIKA does is beautiful!_

[@nikigrant5276]

i hate kaito I know😆

[@Paulchan93]

that was actually really lovely

[@EmpathP]

thank you

[@apolxcore]

this is really beautiful, partner!! the lyrics, the melody, the instrumental, her voice, everything is pretty!!!~

[@saltydinonuggies1841]

All your original songs hold so much meaning! They're always so beautiful... I wish that I could te songs like that!

[@PhantomLightning]

I freaking cried. Like actual tears. Good job! The feels are there. Very beautiful and moving.

[@insertnamehere6500]

I always listen to this right after listening to Left Behind because it kind of seems like the sequel to the song, and I think each time I hear these two I cry a little bit. Nice job, Aki. You do your job well. Edit: I just listened to every song in this "series" starting from Rose+Thorn up to this song and I'm actually crying. The story really pulls at your heartstrings, and their voices seem to convey so much emotion and it is just so beautiful.

[@PyroPisces]

Why am I just now listening to this song? I wish I had heard it dooner, IT'S AMAZING. Maika's voice sounds so good, and the piano sounds beautiful, the lyrics too! Sorry, I tend to ranble on. X3 the point is, you did great on this song.

[@MewLovesChocolate]

Maika sounds so lovely!! I love the tying in with that song at the end! I actually never connected the two until now, and it has a somber feel to it now

[@EvilHyugaHinata]

Wooo!! A great job as always xD, you and Kenji-B are my favourite producers! You did such a great job of tuning and showing off her English capabilities!

[@MoroFullmetal]

Oh, wow! This is the first time I've heard of MAIKA, but she sounds really good. I can hear the effort put into each word in order so that she sings clearly, and the listener can focus on her unique sound instead of trying to understand what words it is she's singing. Gosh, great job!! ;D

[@mysteriousmimick5172]

It took me years to realize that he died and marked wasn’t a writing tool. Also, this song has made me cry for four years now. I found it in 9th grade when I was just getting into Vocaloid. This was one of the first songs I had ever heard and you were one of the first producers I ever listened to. So this song has a space in my heart.

[@Nawen122]

Her high notes is just wow You did awesome in tuning her

[@TheMarshmellowguy]

-uncontrollably sobs- Maika sounded wonderful! She has this nice charm to her that most vocaloids don't have.... I'm pinning it on her accent as well as her overall voice type. :D There were only a couple spots where I couldn't understand her without looking at the lyrics, but for the most part she was amazingly understandable!

[@pokestep]

Wow that's a really clear English!! Without an English voicebank, wow. Magical. Maika seems great, and I think she has awesome potential with such language capabilities C: Great work with her, lovely demo!

[@TheRandomNinjaKitty]

Truely beautiful. Flawless lyrics. Amazing story told within them. I never knew this vocaloid existed but her design is really cool and her accent is exotic.

[@fumiiloveskaito]

waahhh!! my heart... it's aching... ;-; OMG!!!!!!!! i love all your works!!!

[@glistnishin]

OH MY GOD Her voice is so awesome in English D: Amazing song, Aki *A* I think your vocaloid, compositing and drawing skill is very improved! And I wonder if VoctroLabs will create a HQ English vb for Maika. Oh, i think she would sound wonderfull in Russian! *3*

[@Zelda090909]

Wow probably one of the best English songs by a Vocaloid I've heard. I can actually understand her. Beautiful!

[@derpingtoaster7721]

This moved me to tears and not many PVs can do that! This is beautiful and I love her accent! I'm crying; this is beautiful. Good job Ms. EmpathP! :')

[@ScandinavianSweetie]

Aki!! This is so wonderful! MAIKA sounds amazing singing in English! Her accent is super cute! Also, your songs are amazing! I think you're my favorite overseas producer! You're super talented and super nice! A true role-model!

[@penguinMycoco]

This is absolutely amazing

[@Tagami2nightmare]

Another lovely piece, Aki! I couldn't stop the tears right during the final part, oh my goodness, the situation finally clicked in my head! ;A; I admit that I've been happy to see more interconnected songs popping up because I like painting the story in my head while I listen. So happy to know that Maika is able to traverse to even more languages due to her available phonetics, to the point where I'm also considering getting her down the line. Having been working with Kaito's English VB myself for roughly a month and a half now, I see how tricky it can be to match up what you're trying to say with what's available, and considering everything, you did a fantastic job!

[@ChaosMyth1012]

Omg, I was thinking of buying MAIKA since I'm learning Spanish, and she's jjust so bootsful, now that I've heard her extra phonetics speak English, I'm definitely buying her, you did a very good job Q3Q

[@MultiSunmoon123]

I'm like so mad because this is absolutely prefect. MAIKA sounds so clear and I love her accent is so cute. I don't understand why I haven't bought any of you're songs. I've got some shopping to do. No, but really. This is an amazing song. I can't think of any others words, just that this is a really amazing song.

[@mari0n333]

I absolutely love that this is understandable yet clearly Spanish accented! Sounds very natural....

[@Konekosan01]

This is beautiful! I was NOT expecting to hear Anonymous near the end of this! :'D

[@INeedCoffee08]

It's nice to understand her English singing without needing subtitles. I can understand her! :D

[@yagamiwolf7752]

This is beautiful! :')

[@oxymoroff]

THAT ENDING MY FEELS aaauugggh This sounded absolutely beautiful!

[@milenartmeire2588]

it was beautiful! I'm in love with Maika since her early demos(principally the one that she sang in my language, portuguese). I liked her accent in english, you did a great job, the music is beautiful! Congrats!

[@EmpathP]

thanks so much!

[@CarlosVocaloid]

Wow this is certainly great. Her voice sounds beautiful, I'm sure she would do great in more powerful songs also, and her voice is sweet enough for soft songs. You did great AkiGlancy :) Congrats :)

[@ponyverde6283]

Me enamoré de esta vocaloid desde el primer momento que la vi.

[@OrigamiAhsoka]

I honestly find her accent really charming and gosh I still love her voice. Absolutely slept on voice and amazing demo!

[@Utakoloid]

OMG this is really impresive!! ;w; I'm liking Maika more and more, I can actually understand! >w< I'm not a fan of some of the other demos, but all this new demos in so many different lenguages really wanna make me get her, she sounds so good :'D Voctrolabs had an amazing idea, and are deffinetly doing a good job =w= About the song, is so pretty as always, your songs are always touching :D And I love the art, the way you did the hair is quite beautiful :D One little question, how is her quality compared to Bruno? as good as him?

[@izanakamura3784]

This si so beautiful, I can't stop hearing this song, QwQ this is amazing Aki-Sama

[@racionais2006]

This song is so beautiful

[@noodlerooster]

Oh my god Kaito at the end! TTuTT great job on her, she's so nice to listen to

[@ssjdude100]

I cried a little listening. Great showcase of Maika.

[@almusrosice876]

Wow I have goosebumps. Simply an amazing masterpiece.

[@Mimiki203]

If a Engloid has subtitles in a video they sing in I close my eyes and listen to see how well they really sound. I could understand everything so far (a minute in) that's amazing because somewhere there is usually a flub up

[@happychibipanda]

i do that do!

[@Whatsit_1121]

Me, too!

[@Myousaku]

Seriously though what Aki did with this was genius work!

[@i3want3cookie]

usually if i am listening to a voicaloid sing eng [and i dont know the words] i have to read the lyrics simotaneously, because i can't understand it without them. this is prob one of the first times i could just listen! she is so clear! good job!

[@acicle3046]

holy shit...my tears won't stop...I love you Alex!

[@perlacrystal9163]

When "anonymous" came in I... I'm dead I'm gone. This was so lovely and amazing I can't believe this. You did such a great job. I'm going to go cry for a while now... :'''-)

[@righatmine]

What a beautiful song and a sweet voice! I think she is a No.1 international singer in the Vocaloids.

[@tsukroffhan]

This is beautiful! The first Maika song I have heard

[@Noarusan]

Beautiful song...I like how fresh she sound in english (and in spanish) i really want to hear more songs of her. Great work Aki :)

[@SlowTurtles93]

I'm really surprised at how many languages people are getting Maika to do: Spanish, Portuguese, English, Italian. Pretty freaking cool. :D

[@EmpathP]

yus >83

[@bethanyjoy00]

Beautiful song and voicing!

[@shikutovocaloidp]

Gorgerous..... As a hint, the opening of the vocals (OPE) can help sometimes

[@EmpathP]

thanks

[@evibunny4]

I figured this was the sequel to Anonymous and I was right :D And MAIKA sounds fabulous! I love her spanish accent! And the english is phenomenal! Wonderful job as always :3

[@paigekhat7265]

You need to play this at Vocamerica!!

[@dezzydream]

DO THAT PLEASE

[@OhSpaceCowboy]

I Love this Voice so Much... is a great work!

[@skink0083]

Great job here song is beautiful keep up the good work!

[@RennTorakWolf]

This is such a pretty songs ;7;// Amazing job!

[@lavenderbells5347]

That ending was jaw dropping! I didn't realise she was singing about THAT song jesus christ this is amazing! xD

[@Nezuh.k]

Su acento es hermoso, y tu cancion tambien! >w< Debo decir que no me esperaba un demo tuyo con Maika xD

[@RubiMercuri]

I saw the PV video to this song and I seriously got the mad feels..

[@lindseymikel5797]

There are some words that are a bit...awkward, but I guess that's just the way her accent is! Either way, this is beautiful! I've listened to it a couple of times already, and I already plan to write a fanfic to welcome Maika to the Vocaloid universe - and it will be inspired by this song! Thanks so much!

[@Eelia]

So pretty and I can understand her perfectly without looking at the lyrics! Maika is magical

[@EmpathP]

yay!

[@mysteriousecstasy3590]

Her accent is beautiful. It makes this song better.

[@najwa7491]

I loved maika's singing. It's so beautiful .She sang with YOHIOloid right? It made me cry so much.

[@sollunareclipse4517]

Kaito, actually.

[@ExoticBankai]

This was good, really clean english !

[@toastw7105]

I love maika's accent so much. I wish she had more english songs!

[@amandabs28]

Oh! That's so perfect Aki! You did an excellent job as always. I'm so surprised by Maika's ability to speak so many languages, even though she has a very evident accent. Oh, I didn't guessed the song until the end. XD

[@EmpathP]

thank you so much

[@Kaizykat]

I always love your songs. I often have a hard time understanding lyrics from human singers and I can often make out what English (Well, Spanish in this case) Vocaloids are singing. But your tuning is always really good and I can understand your songs without looking at the video!

[@Hetachan]

This is beautiful~! ;A; I loved the prequel to this song and now you made a sequel?! //dies// Maika sounds wonderful too~! I hope we get to see more overseas producers popping up now :D

[@EmpathP]

thanks my dear

[@mizukisora7735]

This is the only song I've ever listened to that makes me cry every time I hear it.

[@mikaslife8728]

Maika is my fave Vocaloid and thus is just so amazing and sad i... wow just wow

[@Cluemily]

It's nice to see the bonus phonemes actually give some really nice results in multiple languages with the right combinations. I just hope for a starter pack, so I could consider her for my first V3.

[@EmpathP]

thank you very much

[@amelietanasi6282]

Anonymous already made me sad enough, and now I am full out bawling! Now people are staring, you are amazing at these incredibly sad songs that make people that never cry anywhere, just end up curled up in a ball on the ground!

[@StarfishAnge]

I wasn't expecting her English to be that successful! She sounds just like a Spanish speaker speaking English with a slight accent. I guess having and knowing the accent, it made it easier for me to understand her (:

[@lunarphantasm19]

I love your songs! They are so divine. :D

[@HitsugayaLover1000]

So beautiful!

[@IA_kay]

I remember listening to this in 2013 Still beautiful -and I feel old-

[@uchoajunior294]

OMG!! She really don't have an English voicebank?? She sound's so perfect!! Voctro Labs is making an good work on her (hope her japanese sound's good too)

[@ChocoCheekCupcakes]

this. Is. So. Pretty. Ive loved maika from the first time i heard en tu mirar and when i hear a great producer like you tune her, it makes me love her even more. this song reminds a little of whiskey lullaby, just the chorus. The melody sounds a little like it. But holy its really good and I love it.

[@NamMisa]

My gosh, I knew her spanish was awesome but I never heard her in english before, you really did an awesome job *0*

[@rogerscott3193]

Maika has a very lovely English singing voice.

[@MrLittlejopy]

Best english for a non english Vocaloid keep up the awesome work!!

[@ryusouta]

YAYAYAYYAY ENGLISH

[@EmpathP]

[@ryusouta]

AkiGlancy Es hermoso, THANKS FOR MAKING IT (??

[@Dahnvincente13]

[@jfiera4965]

Its a very wonderful song, and the peaceful melody is very relaxing. I wonder what next for Maika ? Maybe for the next Vocaloid 5 ?

[@chibizeru6529]

Ilove this song so much

[@kuroshiroshiro2]

Amazing... She sounds so nice.

[@EmpathP]

[@theinfantmetroid]

O-Ô She sounds so amazing!

[@sissi3025]

I FUCKING CRIED ;A; This was beautifully beautiful :"3 I just love Maika's spanish accent in the words. Even though they don't sound so great, they're undestandable and sound beautifully. Thanks for this awesome song. REALLY

[@greenhobbit855]

Akiii~! ;A; I'm sobbing! This is so pretty; I freaked out half way and started thinking about Anonymous and when Kaito started singing I p much lost it. I'm soooooo happy that you did this ;v; hhhhh I need to buy this when it comes outtt so I can sob over my collection of your CDs. Wonderful work as always and hhhhhhhhhhh keep it up missy!

[@grapetailthekitty]

*Wipes tears* oh my Maika's English is pretty!
