0:00 intro
0:09 vocaloid (the software)
1:08 vocaloid (the culture)
1:42 who is hatsune miku
2:14 closing
FOOTNOTES
0:35 - this list excludes vocaloids that are not commercially available (because they're private or cancelled), such as akikoloid-chan, anri rune, cocorobo, ring suzune, yuecheng, and zhang chuchu
2:12 - "except vocaloid doesn't actually have a canon" this is a generalization, vocaloid as a whole doesn't have a canon, and miku doesn't have a canon, but some vocaloids (such as nekomura iroha and luo tianyi) do actually have "canon" lore, though how much of the lore you want to accept is generally up to you
2:16 - "does vocaloid have an anime" i only listed vocaloid china project and miku's cameos. tohoku zunko also has an anime with her sisters, and masaoka azuki and kobayashi matcha also have an anime as part of project 575. sorry!
2/25/21 update: miku may now have an anime / 1364994894490722304

yeah, they're all really just avatars for their voicebanks. *but more importantly they're her friends*

Piano is my favorite musician.

Does this mean that if enough people work together, we can make Len wanting to eat a cattail a widespread interpretation?

[@lapislovesgaming8739]

Now can you explain everything about vocaloid in extensive exhausting detail? I want a 14 hr video essay that im gonna shut off and never pick back up after 20 minutes

[@ricedeity]

i was kinda considering it ngl lmao

[@VitorMiguell]

This is amazing. I vaguely knew about the Miku Character, now that I know, It's really mindblowing. how it's a "collective work of fiction" a "Myth" if you will. everybody chime in and insert a new output. I could in my home use Miku voice and I would have added to her repertoire.

[@ani3343]

My friend asked “is rin miku’s girlfriend?” And I literally said “p e r h a p s”

[@spiele_maus]

Best description of all time! xD Also quick note: yes „Vocaloid“ does indeed only refer to songs made specifically with Vocaloid(or in a casual cases also to piapro, since all the Piapro Voices were also Vocaloids at some point) and not to songs created with other voicesynths such as CevioAI, SynthV etc. Same goes for the Japanese word for „Vocaloid“ (ボーカロイド). However there is the Japanese word „ボカロ“ (literally „Vocalo“) which was originally just an abbreviation of Vocaloid, but does nowadays refer to ANY song that uses a virtual voice regardless of the program behind it. So even CevioAI or Utau voices fall under that category. That’s literally the reason in Japan exists two Wikipedia articles „Vocaloid“ and „Vocalo (genre)“ Just wanted to point that out since I encountered some people in the past who were confused about that.

[@ricestrange]

Finally someone speaks about this! Medal to you!

[@ozi-g-be]

I'm shocked that you covered literally almost everything in such a short time, that's a sub

[@shadowdemonaer]

The perfectly cut scream on that growl I'm dead lmao

[@tsururoach]

i was spending way more time trying to figure out who was introducing this and was wondering how you robbed like the history of the world guy of his voice before i realized this was lupin

[@ricedeity]

this was not lupin

[@wollythewolf3995]

[@mechad00dle]

Very quality video straight to the point :)

[@mmmcola6067]

does that mean i can interpret that Len dude as a Vietnam War veteran? *f___ yeah*

[@trantuyen1102]

[@Suxinn]

In the past, I used to send folks the Miku Chrome commercial (anyone else remember that?) when asked about what Vocaloid is, but this is a much, much better video that, amazingly enough, really does hit basically all the major points in under three minutes! Thank you for making it!

[@fandomencounter1672]

This might be the best guide to vocaloid I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been a long time fan since the beginning lol

[@meghyunn7922]

Thank you for explaining perfect because now I can finally explain it without getting myself confused

[@WintersHarmony7474]

Thank you, this helps alot! As someone who has listened to people like Rachie and Juby do covers of songs like these and having those same three questions in my mind it has definitely helped.

[@Seven_Sweethart]

Thank you for this 😊 I have been seeing Miku and other characters from Vocaloid popping all over my feed and I thought she was just a popular, cute anime character. But when I found out that she did “songs” I got completely confused and I have wanted to get more in touch with this community as possible. But it seems if you haven’t know vocaloid or Miku from the get go (like how I had to discover her) then you can’t gain access into it. So thanks for this brief summary, it really helped explain a lot. I just hope if there are any members of this community that see this comment you will not be offended by my curiosity as I want to become a part of this community. I’ve been starting to listen to some songs by Miku and starting to like them ☺️

[@Katetana0]

The best quote of all time "its like crediting moonlight sinata to pIaNo 😂😂😂'

[@myon9431]

Please never delete this video, you explained this so much better than I ever could !

[@walugigamer521]

Please make a perfectly cut scream of 0:32

[@user-lp5ru7ws5c]

the bass boosted " *No.* " caught me offguard

[@chorvaqueen]

incoming "this was better than that triangle youtuber video" comments i guess

[@SaintSaint]

Thanks! This completely explained everything I wanted to know about this app/culture/avatar.

what I took from this video: understanding vocaloid and the culture is pretty simple, it's the fanbase that's confusing
