Vocaloid Song’s Sample ORIGINS

some origins of the samples from some popular vocaloid songs. mostly maretu lol. also on an uploading kick hope you love it.
LIST OF THINGS IM STILL LOOKING FOR AND WOULD LOVE HELP ON!!!
Sand Planet - Hachi (the voice/speaking played at the beginning/throughout)
Suji - Maretu (“What the hell” I heard some people saying it may also be nostalgia critic, but i’ve also heard the hunger games.)
I’m high - Maretu (“Stop” and “I’m high” they sound like they could be from the same thing?)
Magical Doctor - Maretu (“welcome to the hardtek” specifically, but the song has a lot of samples)
anything else from Sasuke Haraguchi
can’t think of anything else rn but ILL UPDATE THIS

Edit: PART 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYDMpGyAZ5dlldEsi=nFS5ZkCMT5EwdKQo thank you all for the contributions and suggestions, i’m collecting a bunch for a part two :) keep them coming!

[@ArianesDrawingPH]

Add this in part 2: Most of Project Voltage songs was referenced/sampled by some from the Pokemon OST. Fo example, "The Pokemon Inside by Heart" was sampled to Pokemon Center Theme, is because Hatsune Miku was collaborated by The Pokemon Company.

[@Ldarc-rm9ll]

hi! not sure if it's a sample, but in Shun ran by John, there's some voice speaking/playing in the beggining and throughout of the song. In some animatics the lyrics are shown as "Stand by me- but i bet i´ll never be back" or in japanese forums, it´s "Stand by me. But never i'll go back", yet i can´t find anything about it, nor the original person or source who said those were the lyrics, sorry i can´t provide more info but i guessed it would be interesting to search for :D

[@akfc.6978]

For part 2: Manhattan by Wotaku ft. Meiko samples a vintage song in the beginning, middle, and end, but I have no clue what the title of that old sampled song is. Do you or anyone else know of that sampled vintage song and its name?

[@akfc.6978]

Wotaku also adds gun and glass sound effects in plenty of their songs. I think another song of theirs, Shanti ft. Kaito, uses a sample of some guy saying “Ey” which may be stock audio??

[@akfc.6978]

Also for part 2, there are a bunch of other samples used in Hito Mania, such as the scream, the guy saying “DROP IT,” etc.

[@Pikacat98]

In the new Maretu song Delicacy sounds close to sampling Jerma singing aeiou. XD Edit: It's Figaro's aria, I didn't know about that and considering Maretu sampled Nostalgia critic of all possible options my brain just tried to connect to the closest thing I knew.

definitely not jerma, it's from figaro's aria from the barber of seville (opera by rossini). it even follows the same vowel pattern i -> a -> o at the start

[@mac4r0n]

Another sample i found in hitomania is about the person who screams F*CK at around 0:33, the sample is from an old vine of a guy screaming F*CK, i found out about this thanks to a friend of mine who pointed it out jgagsdjsg

[@justkojiro11]

there’s also that one specific yay sound in the song

[@JulianaTheArtist531]

​@@justkojiro11 It might be from Sound Ideas. Then,some immature phonophobes will be raged about it.

[@kipjustice]

another sample in hitomania is the yell at 1:17 (in the song, not this video), i dont know the exact source but its a soundbyte used in a lot of gachimuchi videos (which, if youre unfamiliar, are a genre of videos that edit/remix clips from gay porn for comedic effect) so...one can assume the kind of video it came from lol

[@akfc.6978]

What about the “DROP IT”?

[@Amigo1048]

Given how Slipknot also used the “here comes the pain” and “the whole thing, I think is sick” samples in some of their songs before Maretu, something tells me Maretu might be more familiar with some parts of American culture than I initially thought

[@iAmHat3d]

i feel like maretu is/was a slipknot fan or at least was interested, cause there’s the “here comes the pain” sample from Carlito’s way that’s in Tool, but also (Sic), and then “the whole thing i think it’s sick” sample from the manson documentary is in slipknot’s self titled intro track 742617000027, but also Maretu’s Taste of the Cockroach.

Never realised Housewife Radio/Black and White was sampled from a game! Also the entirety of Teto Territory is a parody of the Touhou doujin song shown here iirc

[@dogofchaos]

Reckless Battery has so many references, it even has its own video (in the description of the song). I think it's an exception since it's a close reference instead of a mere sample.

[@fjsjgdjgdgdjgdjhgdj]

yup :3

[@pinkmoonofthesky]

yeah, used to listen to the song a lot and noticed a lgatrain reference recently 😭

[@mckatherine]

1:50 If that's the actual sample, it's funny how it's edited to sound like it's Miku saying it, it's so well mixed with her vocals! Also, at least to me the "MIND BRAND" sample is one of the biggest discoveries of the Vocaloid community! That sound has been in my head for years and always saw it as one of the coolest and most fitting and iconic sounds for a song ever, it's crazy to know it came out of a KZbin video review xD

1:45 oooooh so it was, like, "the whole thing I think is sick" !

I'm not sure where it's sampled from, but Junky Nighttown Orchestra has a bunch of English chatter in the background at 2:24 "Me and the boys, we gon keep on rocking, is that alright?" "Check it out!" "No, wait!" "Step aside." "Now let's just see what this sounds like played backwards!" "It's completely unnecessary! But a lot of fun to watch!" "We've got some fresh new young talent, ladies and gentlemen in-" I have no idea where these samples come from, and I'd be really interested in finding out where!

In N-buna's "もうじき夏が終るから"(idk the title in English, sry), there is apollo mission's radio sound. But I couldn't find the exact original track.

[@koenko]

the "it's party time" is indeed from that song, but its also a popular sample found in the ZERO-G Datafiles, which are a collection of sample CDs that have seen a truly incredible amount of usage since the first CDs release in 1991. i'm willing to bet a lot more vocaloid songs have sampled from the CDs!

[@seven1641]

THE 999 SAMPLE OH MY GOD?

[@Marzzy_x_Showtimes]

idk if this would count but in 'CYBERPUNK DEAD BOY' by Maiki-P, at the beginning (and at a second time at about a minute and 40 seconds in) theres a robotic voice type thing where google translate was used !(i dont know how to describe it but)

[@akfc.6978]

2:11 Ohedo Julia-Night by Mitchie M ft. Miku and Kaito also uses this “Whoo!” sample a lot

[@glaceRaven]

I'm not sure if the Kasane Territory one counts as a sample of Kero 9 Destiny so much as a cover of the "Always Cirno's Turn" version with parody lyrics about Teto in place of the original. That would technically make it a parody of a mashup of a parody/remix of a Touhou song, which boggled my mind when I realized it. Definitely did use the instrumental, though. Really, really hoping someone out there figures out the Sand Planet one. Seems like it comes from a movie or tv show, possibly from the US. Trying to find one with a group in it somewhere called "fact detectives" would probably be a good lead.

[@v4mpirism]

i put that information for teto territory on the on screen text /nm

[@Jessnyan]

I always figured it was hachi or someone he hired to record the lines. I have a hard time imagining another piece of media that'd happen to say "back a decade, remember i was born" and thought they were lines he wrote.

[@glaceRaven]

@@Jessnyan I'd always heard it as "Fact Detective member, I was one." "Wow.", which does sound like it could be a line from a movie or TV show, maybe some kind of futuristic cop drama or something. "Back a decade" would certainly make more sense in the context of the song, though. Now I'm really curious as to which one it is, if either.

[@deCASSNI]

[@CherryCherub97]

Tricolore Airline has a sample in the beginning with the announcer saying "thank you for waiting ladies and gentlemen...". I heard it used in a different video so I'm guessing it's from some stock sound library. Digital Girl also uses some dial-up sounds during a certain part, just like in Hito Mania.

Distorted Princess by Hachiouj-P has this at the start: "We don't have enough data to call it alchohol abuse. We have no way of knowing if these are the only two incidents that have ever occurred in the history of the astronaut corps or if they're the tip of a very large iceberg." lol You can google it, there's and NBC article that quotes this but I don't know where to find the original audio.

In Picon's song "It was human", there's a sample of two people speaking: "Do you remember pictures i sent to you?" "I tried to remember, but when everything is coming back to me it's like my memories are paralyzed" "I don't think I understand. It's because..." "Good." "What exactly are you looking for?" I have no idea where it's from, but it seems like a TV show or a lesser-known movie? Also, MARETU's "I do not seek - I find" is a quote from Pablo Picasso which I think he may have sampled from an interview?

[@Whataryu]
