I've always loved music, but I resonated with your experience of not being able to connect with folk about it. A big part of it is that I don't really hear words very well when they are sung over music. I hear the voice, and the pitch and the rhythm of the voice, but I have to read the lyrics to understand the words most of the time. I like to tell people that I listen to the music, not the message. What I'm trying to say, is that you like music. Not to be rude, but you seem to have always liked music. I have also felt that sense of connection with a crowd of people who love a band. It is INCREDIBLE! Thank you for sharing your experience. I always love watching your videos. This one hit really close to home for me 😊

Jaiden, I just wanted to say, everything you said about having an interest you can't really talk about to most people, but feeling VERY happy at a convention for it, really resonated with me. Funnily enough, it was Pokémon! I got to go to a Worlds a while back and it was a transcendent experience. I especially relate to "drifting away from an interest due to teenage anxiety/social pressure" and it's so nice reconnecting with them.

[@CilixerXD]

Love the way Jaiden has progressed for being a shell of herself a couple years ago, to being happy with herself and confident. Genuinely one of the coolest transformations ever.

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.

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 ✌🏻

i get the fixation. i 100% get it. every other song you hear on the radio sounds the same after years of the same all the time... so i switched over to video game music with the occasional vocaloid songs thrown in there(even though i don't have one downloaded right now but that's not the point). i'm just happy we can all gush about our interests here

[@kassiethecoolgirlp9304]

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!!

[@tomori0822]

That whole "not into music until you found one specific niche genre that you love" is me. To the letter. But my "awakening" came not with vocaloid, but with Eurobeat. I am now obsessed and have been obsessed for over 5 years, I can't get enough of it.

[@lindsaygale5279]

Same here! Mine was Sparks. Once I heard their first song I was hooked and finally started listening to music outside of instrumental and movie/video game scores. I ended up listening to all of their albums which ended up being a lot since they have been playing since the 60s lol

[@strikewave1918]

Jaden the bit at the start about not listening to music and tweaking out whenever anybody asks is so relatable... and I'm a musician myself so that makes it even more akward. "You don't listen to anything? But you make music!" Pain.

[@starpeep5769]

that sucks

[@yurisei6732]

That was exactly me up until about age 15. In multiple orchestras, but not a music fan. Then when I discovered vocaloid, I became a music fan and stopped being a musician, because I was suddenly presented with the fact that the music I value is completely disconnected from the music I was able to play. Trying to get back into it now though, downloaded Miku's V4 voice bank and going to learn how to use it this weekend.

If you ask me what kind of music I listen to, my brain will eject knowledge of every song I've ever heard. I'll even be struggling to remember the tune of "Pop Goes The Weasel".

[@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!

[@Kris.pyfries]

“I can’t see the end of the horizon- HATSUNE MIKU?!” Jaiden’s excitement over Miku was so fun, I had a big grin on my face the whole video.

Can we just appreciate for one second how far Jaiden and her team has come with their animation style? Each and every scene has so much personality, packed with humour and references to memes and other parts of pop culture. I especially noticed it in this video, but the many videos before also showed a big increase in her animation quality. I can only imagine how long it takes to animate one video, especially one that goes above the ten minute mark. The video itself with its content and how evrything is told is also nothing short but great, don't get me wrong, but we DEFINITELY need to show more appreciation for the efforts Jaiden and her team puts into the animation of every video. This channel is for sure my most favourite animation channel on all of KZbin and also one of my favourite channels in general :)
