【Galaco】幼なじみにさよなら【オリジナル】

[@AlineDreams]

Galaco makes this song a lot more relatable to me because my childhood's imaginary friend was called... Galaca. What a coincidence.

[@hannahlastname5151]

The fact that they're going to just deactivate her soon makes this song even more sad! Especially with lyrics like "I have no idea what will happen in the future", "I don't want to be separated from you", and "I have to go on alone", and the fact that she's just saying goodbye the whole time! They can't kill Galaco! TTATT

[@Luxxcia]

How you feel 10 years later after she got revived?

[@plaguedotmov]

So many years later and i always come back to this song, it's easily my favorite vocaloid song and you do amazing work. Thanks for existing and creating wonderful things.

[@PyroPisces]

This song has always made me think of my old imaginary friend. But I happened to stumble across it again today and it's making me think about how my childhood best friend and I are growing apart and there's nothing I can do- needless to say I'm currently crying over the lyrics. It's a beautiful song, I really like how Galaco's voice sounds too.

[@CoronaBorealisTime]

this song gets a lot sadder after you watch inside out tbh

[@sofitssofi]

+Max Magister Also when you're about to graduate ;-;

[@andreah9587]

@@sofitssofi and also when your childhood friend dies…💔

[@ameliacasale4]

this song was important to me growing up, and I just thought of it out of the blue and decided to find it. it’s just as lovely as I remember, but meaning of the lyrics has seasoned with time. Thank you for making this, dear creator.

[@OodoriSummer]

I just said goodbye to the best friends I've ever had. Even though they were miles away from me (we all met and contacted on the internet) I really miss them already. They are the best ever but I'll always keep them in my memories forever, they were always there for me and they are so kind. I miss all of you if you're reading this, I know we'll never meet in real life but I'll always picture it.

[@harmoniafienheart4949]

I think you did amazing. This song means alot to me because when I was 11, I had alot of rough times, so I always carried a panda with me since I had no friends, and you made me cry with this song

[@EmpathP]

;W; I'm so glad it meant something to you

[@amelietanasi6282]

This is so sad, but so adorably happy at the same time, I'm torn between laughing and crying.

[@OodoriSummer]

I said goodbye to him weeks ago, I'd cry whenever I think of him.

[@aseal6412]

my favorite galaco song! seriously, so pretty

[@2RandomGirls]

Reminds me of an old childhood friend I had. Last time I saw him, he was polite, but acted like he'd rather be anywhere but talking to me. He's changed so much, it's like the boy I knew as a kid doesn't even exist anymore. But I really do hope he's happy.

[@KaiSuki]

This is wonderful! ;u; Greak job Aki

[@EmpathP]

yes I am planning to format it into V2

[@minminhime1340]

Beautiful! It's sad that she got deleted. :(

[@HayleeMuse]

No worries, she is being released with a new V3 voicebank.

[@minminhime1340]

Haylee Garbark :D Yayza!

[@yeshuaeich9350]

will you ever use galaco again? i really like this song :3

[@Elyseara]

I'm sure Daren is sooo happy to have such a pretty song about him c:

[@AnimeRokerGirl]

Goodbye to a childhood friend

[@MewLovesChocolate]

I can tell you how amazing this is in an excited spirit within the comment, but I gotta say that this is a song that appeals to my feelings deep within...Not so much for the imaginary aspect, but to the aspect of possibly losing a friend within this current time. Like, I just feel like a wall is slowly placing itself in between and how it gets more and more difficult to hang out with him...Almost shed a tear in this depressing song T^T Guess your sadness is bringing out how I felt most of today

[@Arbacyk]

Oh. My.Galaco. This was amazing, I'm so glad you won Galaco, so far you're the only person that I enjoy using her, good job.

[@Soffie101]

Aki, the song is absolutely beautiful and the lyrics are so meaningful. I burst out crying when the title was shown and couldn't stop through the whole thing. Great job! ;A;

[@EmpathP]

I use a combination of SAI and Photoshop CS3. I do all the drawing and coloring on SAI, and then I do after effects and filters on Photoshop

[@pann_cake]

I may or may not get emotionaly attached to this song, wonderful Aki

[@runewarrior43]

Wow you made her sound so lovely. The song is both beautiful and emotional and just sounds amazing.

[@calloustud]

i cant believe you made this beauuutiful song from such a weird source of inspiration. i really commend you for your creativity and artistic ability!! great song, LOVE IT!

[@bdbgh]

It's so sad yet so melancholic, pretty impressive work man.

[@RitsukaSeriyko07]

Really well done Aki, a saddening, soothing melody. The song and lyrics reminded me of my early childhood. Heh, count me as a fan now!

[@AvaliaKasa]

Oh god I love this song ; v ; Like, life story of everyone //dies And that "yo" at 0:55ish? HOW ;A; that was so purty Yet another original from you that I can listen to for weeks and maybe months ; v ;

[@starfruitlabs]

You're welcome! I look forward to more Galaco originals from you! :D

[@EmpathP]

I usually start out by writing the back ground music, and then start writing thesinging melody and lyrics as I go

[@Vocalodesu]

She sounds so adorable. I love the way you use her. ; w;

[@EmpathP]

I use a combination of pattern brushes and hand drawing 83

[@skink0083]

Beautiful yet sad at the same time very good on this

[@andreah9587]

Y’know, I’ve always loved this song, but I’ve never felt it quite as deeply until now. One of my good friends from high school just passed away from brain cancer. She was only 23. I’m planning to sing this song at her funeral (in English, of course - I made some translated lyrics for it myself). I hope that’s okay with you, Aki. Thank you for making this song, and for continuing to make beautiful music that touches the hearts of many like myself.

[@apolxcore]

amg it is up! this is really beautiful, you use Galaco so well,!I love how you tune, I learned a lot *A* thank you for this wonderful song, and for inviting me to add/play the guitar and violin ~! ^^)

[@darX3mn1a]

This sounds adorable...and so pretty!

[@idalia799]

this song had gets me to tears or almost to tears each time. each frikkin time.

[@bewareofplastic]

This is so cute ;A; there's such a cute inspiration behind it too. i used to have an imaginary friend her name was Cindy

[@kuroshiroshiro2]

Oh. a nice ballade. Sounds of piano and guitar are so touching.

[@TheAimeeRT]

Are you trying to make me cry? *sniff sniff That was SO beautiful!!!!!!!!! :D

[@Vocaloid02BigAl]

You're welcome. :'D Now I have to go work on my Galaco contest entry. I've been listening to this while I take breaks from using my VY1v3. I have this song and Leaving Donna stuck in my head now.

[@EmpathP]

the short hair was based off a version of the doll. Ya know when the doll has its hood up? it has a shorter-haired wig for when the hood is up OWO

[@EmpathP]

I think her voice CAN be very versatile, if used correctly, but she is VERY soft and not too strong, so it should be approached carefully I think ^__^

[@surunsiru]

wow this actually hurts, I'm crying too. beautiful song!

[@TheNimster2]

This is lovely! I personally love Galaco more than Miku. Her voice is so..like...amazing.

[@MissHaro777]

Hmm. You're right. She's perfect for ballads.

[@TonightSP]

You know, how to use Galaco. I love it.

[@starfruitlabs]

I can relate to this song so much ;-; The feels ... The feels , well done Aki~ Your songs always make me feel ;-; and it takes talent to do that well done :)

[@CH.ONETWENTYFIVE]

Definitely posting up my Yuzuki/VY2 cover of this. I think it does your genius justice.

[@EmpathP]

thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it!

[@Arbacyk]

Currently Aki is the only one who I think used her correctly, everyone wants to make her sing pop and rock songs when her voice is calm and soothing, it's like trying to make Gackpoid Whisper sing -ERROR. Eventually someone else will come that uses her properly... hopefully.

[@arduousPopsicle]

Awwh, what a great song ;v; Love it

[@EmpathP]

and thank YOU for your wonderful additions 8D I always love working with you. Looking forward to our future projects. Oh, which reminds me I'll need to ask you something for the future OWO I shall send you a PM.

[@EmpathP]

I actually have something darkish in production, I'm just working on the BGM at the moment, and also trying to figure out a story for it. It's not really creepy, but it's sorta...mysterious

[@allisonfox8185]

Beautiful and depressing song.

[@33memex]

Don't let Galaco got deactivated!!

[@EmpathP]

thank you my darling chichan 8D *chu you* I really enjoyed writing this one

[@Lokyiu213]

I love the lyrics! Her voice! The melody! Perfect!!

[@Takapon218]

This is just... ; ^; All my feels. I don't even know what to say. This song is just so touching. ; A; This really does mean a lot to me.

[@21airfox]

this song made me cry and not many of them do that

[@usaginanami5730]

AkiGlancy = DIVA

[@the_convexx]

Simply marvelous

[@EmpathP]

that's not what I'm saying at all XD I'm just saying that each of the songs have a different theme. Besides Knot or Not was grouped in the Leaving Donna series. It's not connected to Leaving Donna, but it's in the single/album universe

[@EmpathP]

well thank you so much!

[@EmpathP]

of course, if you'd like!

[@EmpathP]

thank you so much ;W;

[@EmpathP]

well, the reason I'm not connecting them is because one was romantic and the other one was friendship

[@gabrielaramosrosales8986]

Por fin encuentro esta canción!!!

[@EmpathP]

thanks so much!

[@HaruVampire]

awwwwww Aki this is sweeettyyyyyy i love it! ^^

[@Kid4Flash]

I used to have this Purple Kangaroo Plushie and i named him Joey.....He was my best friend and i carried him everywhere. But i haven't seen him in 8 years. :'(

[@Shunji96]

This song almost made me cry and it is really well done. On another note Galaco is going to be deactivated in October and yes it was officially said by Yamaha. Here is a forum that talks about saving her as well " h ttp://utaforum.net/thread-galaco-s-pre-death " so check it out.

[@masterchichan]

[@EmpathP]

8D I enjoy yer feelings

[@Agnosiaofz]

This is so lovely ;u;

[@EmpathP]

[@partyp]

I'm getting Rin and Len. I write songs too! We could do a Rin and Galaco duet! I think their voices would mix very well. I won't have them until Late October. If you want I can start writing:)

[@Utakoloid]

BTW, after reading the description I have the feeling that she is singing to Gachapoid XD

[@EmpathP]

there might be, but it doesn't change the fact that I'd have to return the entire thing ;A;

[@RoxxBloodberry]

What software do you use for your art? I absolutely adore your drawings x3 And you're really good with Vocaloid, too... I'm jelous x3

[@Utakoloid]
