Hearing you so excited about seeing Miku made me cry even BEFORE you described the actual concert (and once that started, i was bawling), it’s just. It’s so nice to hear someone be as into your hyperfixation as you are.

[@gomango99]

Hey, I've just come home from Miku Expo London after becoming a fan from this video. I've ended up listening to vocaloid music almost everday since, and really resonated with it, making new friends and overall being hyperfixated on this! My mum and sister were watching a show the day before so I was able to get a ticket for Miku Expo the day after since we'd already be at London. The concert was so amazing, seeing everyone with glowsticks and cheering, and the amount of cosplayers was awesome to be reminded that vocaloid is about the fans who make music, art and cosplays. Kinda feeling post-concert blues but really want to visit again next year, and I'm so glad I found this video

I wish that had been my experience learning music - being given the opportunity to find out what my music was, as opposed to just "and now for grade 5, you can choose between these three arbitrary classical pieces." Music education I think suffers from the same problem as English studies, which is that the people who design curriculae are obsessed with the socially acceptable historical greats - your Shakespeares and your Mozarts. And so every kid gets taught pretty much exclusively these people's works, even though in real-taste terms they're very niche and not relevant at all to modern audiences until you already know enough about the subject to understand what makes them good.

ORGANIZED WIGGLY AIR I LOVE IT Honestly thank you for what you do. My choir teacher DEGRADED her students to the point that anyone NOT her favorite DROPPED. OUT. She treated us to ‘a professional work environment'. She also ruled musicals with an iron fist. My dad had seizures when I was growing up and had a head injury that he had an appointment for during my practice. (My teacher would be apoplectic if you tried to skip for A N Y reason.) I told her I had to leave and when we came back my dad wanted to apologize for taking me away and wanted to explain. I didn't want him to hear my choir teacher but he came in anyways. She was SCREAMING at the students that I shouldn't have left, that no one else can leave, not for work, not for homework, no one else could leave until they had gotten it PERFECT. My dad was pissed. He ripped into her (which she deserved) and she never did it again while I was in school. I still never really sung much after as I thought I sounded horrible, but now I do sound horrible ✌🏻

[@hetzer7575]

13:16 this probably made his day and i can tell you by experience, as a noob wannabe bassist and very fan of the instrument i can assure how happy he was after that, most bass players get under appreciated by the rest of the other (aswell talented) instrumentist that even the drummer gets more attention (not saying they shouldn't, they are godly cool) but when i see a bassist left alone i'm like "hey, you are doing so great" it's so fun seing them return the smile and know they have people who appreciate they mere presence and work they take. Ty jaiden!

[@weirdghost]

As somebody with a playlist where 98% of the songs are purely vocaloid songs, I must admit, this may have, perhaps, been maybe just a wee, teensy-weensy little smidge relatable. Maybe. Possibly. (In all honesty, glad you made a video like this. Made me feel a bit less weird about my playlist of vocaloid, which is nice! Time to go blast my definitely normal music now-)

someone NEEDS to tell jaiden about the project diva games, theyre rhythm games with miku and her songs in it, and in the older games (AKA not megamix or future tone) you can hang out with the vocaloids in their rooms, give them presents, pat them on the head (i think that one started in project diva F?) etc., and on top of that you can make your own music videos with the models and see other people’s MVs too!!! dont even get me started on the spinoff project mirai on the 3ds, a miku rhythm game with optional touchscreen controls where you can give your vocaloid food and money and furniture like ur own virtual pet?? i think its right up her alley!!! EDIT: i forgot project sekai/colorful stage exists too, its a free mobile game with a bunch of human characters in bands along with the vocaloids, i haven’t played it but that game seems fun too!!

CAUTION ALERT MISSILE MISSILE MISSILE PULL UP BINGO

[@RyzawaCh]

@@thesoftwarenerd9055 The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

[@rossmoir5024]

There's a special feeling the first time you really feel like you belong, the moment you find "your people" in a huge crowd of people you don't know but share a passion for an interest. The more niche your interests or the more unusual you are by default, those moments can happen much later in life, but by then you're much more aware when it happens. The feeling of community does fade over time, but the bigger the event, the longer the feeling lasts. I imagine for some people it's sport, or concerts which generate that comfortable feeling, going to see their local sport team or just hanging out the front. I'm glad you found your people, Jaiden, those who share a passion who meet you as equals to celebrate an ideal. In this case, Hatsune.

That was exactly me up until about age 15. In multiple orchestras, but not a music fan.

Trying to get back into it now though, downloaded Miku's V4 voice bank and going to learn how to use it this weekend.
