"i’ve been teaching myself to cry so that you know how much you’re loved" this line is so powerful. even if it's meant to be from the point of view of the vocaloid, these words can mean so much for real people. learning to handle and embrace your emotions, to ultimately end up with love. it moved me to tears when i first heard it, truly a beautiful sentiment.

[@Starlight-Tale]

Yeah, I definitely teared up at that part.

_ "Porter" is ポーター in katakana (PŌ-TĀ). _ ぽうたあ in hiragana (read the same, but written as PO-U-TA-A). _ うた means song (U-TA). _ "Po-uta" is "Porter" but japanised and written so that it separates the word "song". Fun and clever name!

[@Greenyana]

Gosh I know Japanese and I didn't realized there was a wordplay 😱

[@Stryxxxx]

It's a bit twisted, but you can take the "Po" as "保" which is a part of the word 保護 meaning "shelter", (I said twisted cuz 保 in 保護 is read "ho", but it is read "Po" in some occasions).

[@Fearoq]

This is like reverse Odds&Ends. Instead of artist outgrowing the vocaloid, the vocaloid outlives the artist but in both scenario the vocaloid continue to care for the artist.

[@PenumbraDev]

Exactly this!

[@lorion_]

Yoo.. this is very deep!! for people who love music

[@HavenMarches]

I hope Porter knows how much this means to Vocaloid fans like myself. We haven't gotten a new Vocaloid (aside from engine built-in ones) since Hime/Mikoto, and Po-uta sounds REALLY good.

[@QieQieQuiche]

You could say it's because of the difference in recording methods, but maybe it's from the heart

[@hungryluma27]

I wholeheartedly agree :) Vocaloid has been what’s gotten me through the toughest parts of my life, and to have Porter come back to it in such a cool way means so much. I also like how he used a tuning style similar to livetune and HachiojiP, with the more robotic and auto tuned sound. Some of my favorite vocaloid songs are in that style :)

[@QieQieQuiche]

@hungryluma2787 nope, the voicebank just sounds like that. It's a really unique stylistic choice and it sounds so good

[@UnofficialCyane]

It really does

[@hungryluma27]

@@QieQieQuiche hmmm… yeah that sounds right. I remember him saying on Instagram or something that it’s tuned in a robotic way like some of his favorite vocaloid songs, but it would make sense if that’s just it’s default sound.

As a person who grew up in the Vocaloid Community ever since 2011, having of my childhood producers having to become a Vocaloid himself actually makes this song extremely nostalgic. I am in love with this song, and I'll be sure to use this amazing voicebank in the future!

i love how 'robotic' he sounds. i really missed this kind of tone in vocaloids.

[@petracore4812]

It's an effect called Pitch Snap, the bank doesn't actually sound that robotic.

[@unknown_user4978]

I agree, but even if it sounds so robotic it feels alive. The breathy voice indicates that it was brimming with life, even though it is just a Vocaloid, I can feel a strong attachment to it. I just love how Porter Robinson made Po-uta a machine brimming with life. It was just like the main theme in his recent music. His theme is a huge blend of machine and life. Even though it sounds robotic, you can feel that it has emotions just like humans. And his lyrics get me so emotional, every time I hear his music. It was so full of life and emotions and I applaud Porter Robinson for that.

[@anotherdayofsnow]

@@petracore4812 It does actually,the voicebank is made to be used in EDM songs and stuff like that. you can make it sound smooth by removing all effects but it still has a metallic sound to it.

Porter changed my life when he got me into writing and producing VOCALOID music many years ago. it's led my life and led me on my own musician path. this is insane. I'm so, so, so, SO tremendously excited to create so much work using this VOCALOID - and i cannot at all wait to see what the community does with this. sheeeeeesh lol

I noticed that just before seeing your comment🤣

[@linyuan123]

Wow, amazing song! It reminds me of "Sad Machine" and "Goodbye to a World", which have similar themes of computers outliving/saying goodbye to humans and are also sung by a Vocaloid program. But on the other hand, the song's melancholic optimism makes it feel right at home in the current Nurture era. Po-uta is a happy sad. Po-uta is Porter Robinson.

[@TheDrewBlue]

One might call Po-uta the “Happy Machine” 🥲

[@nobyl8163]

This means so much 😭 Worlds, Nurture, and Porter's honest interviews have helped and encouraged me to continue through so many periods of depression, anxiety, and self-doubt. I recently finished an album using Vocaloid Oliver that took me 7 years to make and was shocked some of my friends resonated with how I feel, which I couldn't express in words. I now realize it's okay and valuable to bare your soul. Can't wait to play with this and continue the message that's been so life-changing for me. 🙌💜

Aww! I'm so happy for you! ^_^ I can't imagine what it's like to create an original song, and much less, a whole album of original songs! I love the idea that you used Oliver for the songs on the album too! He's one of my most favorite Vocaloids ever! :D

bro how are you gonna make me cry from a promotional vocaloid demo wtf

[@hungryluma27]

Vocaloid has been the one of the most positive things in my life. It’s gotten me through some of the hardest parts of my life. I was diagnosed with chronic acute pancreatitis as a child, and it’s made everything, from middle school up until college now, so much more of a challenge. Vocaloid music connects with me in a way that I can’t even explain… and songs like Sad Machine and Fresh Static Snow have been some of my favorites :) To have Porter come back to vocaloid in such a crazy cool way makes me happier than I’ve been in a long time :) I love Vocaloid, I love Porter and his music, and I am so grateful to still be here to experience music like this. I don’t think I could have gotten to this point without either of them. Also, I like how the tuning style is similar to kz (livetune) style, you may know him from songs like Tell Your World, Weekender Girl, and Last Night Good Night :D

[@ibnuhafizh121]

It's a nice pun there! In Japanese Porter is pronounced 'pōtā' (the 'o' and 'a' is pronounced a bit longer). The reason he named it 'Po-uta' is because the Japanese word for 'song' is 'uta' (歌). When 'o' is followed by 'u', the 'o' is pronounced longer but the 'u' is silent, for example, the word 'nichijou' (which means 'daily life') is pronounced 'nichijō'. It's not just a nice pun, but a triple pun!

the lyrics feels like the perfect combination of the intimacy of Nurture and the wonder of Worlds. i can't express in words how happy i am. I hope Po-uta is not a Sad Machine like dear Avanna before him. heh.

I'm in love with these lyrics Porter.

I don’t listen to a ton of vocaloid, but this is the most expressive and “human” I’ve ever heard a vocaloid sound! Great work with the pitch scoops, I really like how at the end of some phrases the pitch drops down which is such a natural human way of singing. Such a neat project!

"But nothing lasts forever And someday soon you'll sing your final song But they said that's why you made me: To pass the music on" -I like this because the one thing I'm scared of is losing people close to us and they'll be forgotten, however Porter wants to be remembered and made this Vocaloid to carry on his legacy. Which actually hits home because I want to be remembered as well, though we'll see if I ever reach that level to be remembered from many. But even if I don't or won't be remembered I know that everything goes on anyway and I think that's okay. :) Carry on and keep looking at the sky Porter/Vocaloid fans!
