Didn't know the Miku was popular around here. Anyone else make the hop over Peace Bridge to see her?
>>15272919
Stay safe, Chicongo anons
>>15273057
I'm staying at a nice hotel downtown, so hopefully it's not too Congolese.
>>15273057
Life long Chicagoan here.
Just don't be an idiot and walk around with your phone/wallet/camera hanging out while in crowded places and you'll be fine. If you take the CTA don't use your phone while near the doors to avoid people snatching it, brown line is probably the safest train at least from downtown to Belmont-ish.
>>15272979
Yep, that was me. It was a choice of either Toronto or NYC, and the Toronto drive was shorter. It's a shame no events ever come here.
>>15271637
Yeah, I wish they would change up Len's songs.
>>15273405
Hilarious that you have to watch out for the local wildlife like that.
Have you ever considered not living in chiraq?
Has anyone else been reading articles/reviews about the show and getting a strange mix of happy and sad?
It's bittersweet. I'm happy these people liked it but I just want to see it again so badly
>>15273548
What do you mean?
>>15273548
We all want to see it again but the important thing is to be happy you got to see at all instead of being sad you won't see it again.
Just think, humanity is thousands of years old and will likely be around thousands of years from now, but we were born at just the right time to see Hatsune Miku live in concert. How incredible is that?
>>15273562
Future people will have Miku-bots.
>>15273555
Here's one someone linked last thread: https://www.eparisextra.com/columns/108584/miku-expo-dallas-2016-i-paid-to-see-a-hologram-sing-and-dance-and-it-was-phenomenal
In a lot of these recent articles you see the author is intrigued by the fact that there's a concert featuring an anime hologram, and they end up having a ton of fun. I think it says something about these concerts that some of the people going have absolutely no idea what the hell brought them there in the first place, and then when it ends they just have a huge grin.
It's interesting to read about these people who are "converted" so to speak.
Watching some of the video clips of the concert again simultaneously gets my hyped and teary-eyed at the same time.
This was my first Miku concert to attend and I can just really feel the magic. It's hard for me to explain. I can not wait to go again.
>>15273562
I feel you mate. We live in truly interesting times.
But I'm thinking of flying to NYC to do it all over again.
>>15273585
Ah, I thought you missed out on this year and were upset reading the articles. My bad.
>>15272979
>>15273456
So wow, then that makes at least three of us now.
I also made it to the Toronto show, great time. Going again next week to NYC
>>15273593
I actually almost didn't go. It was the middle of the week and I was really not sure what to expect.
I mean, I have lots of Miku merchandise and a game, but I had never really listened to much of her music. I just thought she was super cute and interesting in a technology way (I'm really big into IT).
I guess you can say that I was very intimidated or scared of the thought of going to such a silly sounding concert. I am so glad that I went, even if I missed the opening act and didn't get the chance to do the drawing event or get any merch.
Sorry for gushing so much, this just ended up blowing me away. Thanks for reading my blog.
>>15273585
>This was my first Miku concert
I certainly don't speak for everyone, but for me, seeing her for the first time was nothing short of magical. It was such a powerful experience and I'm not proud to admit it but I actually cried. Seeing her for the second time was still amazing but it wasn't the same. If I could go a third time, I absolutely would, but I don't think anything can match that "first time" feeling, so I don't think you're missing out on as much as you think you are.
>>15273601
I thought about it, but it's just too far away. I wish I could go to NYC.
>>15273576
>Future people will have Miku-bots.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeN4yleogYU
I went to NY in 2014, Toronto in 2016, and what I've learned is that getting centred seats is the most important aspect of enjoying these concerts. I bought my ticket the minute general sales went online and still wound up getting sidelined because I wanted to be closer. Lesson learned.
Can't wait for Toronto 2018 though.
>>15273672
Release date when?
>>15273627
I feel you. I was just so overcome with emotion whenever I stepped in there and everyone felt so together. I've been to several other concerts before but nothing comes close to this. I'll be honest too, I was on some drugs. I cried too, but it was the days after the concert, I just kept replaying it over in my mind and it brought me to tears.
>>15273685

No idea.

Once you get out of downtown and head north it gets a lot better. Lived on north side all my life. Definitely head toward Lincoln park/lakeview area if you want to see less of the sketchy shit. Gets expensive some places but better than downtown for sure.
>>15273723
I want a moving Nendoroid Len at my desk.
>>15273724
Hey now, I did it so I could jam out to her harder and it was a blast. I think she appreciated my fervor. I wasn't making a fool out of myself and I was well within my limits. No harm was done to myself or anyone around me. No ragrets.
Do people even drink alcohol on /jp/?
>>15273769
The only thing you should be addicted to is Vocaloid, anon.
>>15273769
>>15273774
No smoking
No drinking
No drugs
Miku is my anti drug.
>>15273774
Well, that's exactly what happened on Tuesday. I can't get enough Vocaloid now. The only thing I'm really addicted to is technology use. And Miku.
>>15273774
>>15273796
Replace catgirls with Vocaloids. Or just make it catgirl Vocaloids.
>>15273769
>>15273796
I'll admit I took a flask of whiskey with me to the Dallas show, but it was gone by 3pm and I only had it in the first place so I could tolerate standing in line for 9 hours surrounded by nerds.
>>15273837
Wasn't there a Korean one that did that?
>>15273856
>so I could tolerate standing in line for 9 hours surrounded by nerds.
Heh. I did miss out on the line experience, although I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing. How was it? Did you talk to anyone around you?
I hope you offered someone some whiskey. Or did you drain the whole thing by yourself?
I had a margarita with like 6 or 7 shots that I was sipping on for the drive there. Got me nice and warm.
>>15273837
>catgirl Mikus at Toronto
>no catboy Len
>>15273837
>what is iroha
>>15273878
>Did you talk to anyone around you?
Literally no one. The people who got there before me had formed a little circle and were playing Project Diva and stuff, and then after me arrived two dads bringing their daughters. Actually I think one dad went with his daughter and the other one was forced, but they also immediately paired off and started talking about dad shit.
But it's fine. When I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself.
So I'm thinking of going to the NY concert during the night. Is it an interesting experience, how long is it and also what is the set list normally?
>>15273944
>Is it an interesting experience,
Yes
>how long is it
~2h45m
>also what is the set list normally?
What do you guys think what normals think about Miku concerts?
>>15273955
Thank you anon
>>15273964
Depends on whether it's a knee-jerk reaction or they give it a chance.
Most Westerners will think Miku's voice is too high-pitched, because of recent trends in popular music that they have internalized through familiarity.
Can't wait to see what Chicago's poster looks like. New York's too.
So far I think it's
Seattle
Toronto
San Francisco
LA
>>15273651
Yeah, I'm flying down on Friday. Only an hour flight, so it's really not so bad. But yeah, these two weekends are god damn expensive!
>>15273870
A Korean one that did what? Replace them with catgirls?
>>15273879
Soon.
>>15273922
Please, enlighten me.
>>15273925
>two dads bringing their daughters. Actually I think one dad went with his daughter and the other one was forced, but they also immediately paired off and started talking about dad shit.
That sounds hilarious.
Is anyone here collecting all the posters?
I would love to, but definitely don't have the money to buy all of them at inflated prices plus shipping.
>>15274003
A flight to NYC from Buffalo? So expensive. I'd have to drive lol.
>>15274040
Well Toronto was my only hope, so no catboys for me.
>>15273769
Drugs and alcohol are money pits and said money pit should only go towards Miku and favorite vocaloids.
>>15274056
I already got one of the only two posters I liked. Seattle's is great, but I'll have to accept that I'll never have that one.
>>15274236
There aren't even any posters up on eBay right now.
>>15274207
I can assure you I spend about 5 times more money on figures and stupid bullshit than drugs. I probably spend about 200 a month on drugs. I can easily spend over a 1000 per month on collectible figures and such. Most of them are Vocaloid related.
>>15274236
I actually rather like the Houston poster. It has a very Houston vibe, if that makes sense. I fucking wish I could have gotten one.
>>15274442
>It has a very Houston vibe
She doesn't look Mexican to me
>>15274480
Hey-o!
>>15274480
Hah, that was good. Really.
But I meant more of the line work and highlighting, seems very graffiti-esque. And the dark night sky and road look good with the skyline.
While it's still Western Miku art, I think they captured and blended her style with a Houston feeling well. Just my opinion.
>>15273752
Me too. Nendo Len is so cute. I'd want a Rin too so he wouldn't be lonely.
>>15273405
I carry my wallet in my front pocket and my phone is abject shit, so I should be fine.
I hope somebody steals my phone. That'd be comedy gold right there. It's a flip-phone and worth negative three dollars as e-waste.
>>15274595
Of course. They have to be together.
>>15273879
The world needs more catboy Len
>>15274236
Nice. Most of these posters were disappointing but this doesn't look bad at least.
>>15275007
Wut. Just cause I think Len is cute doesn't mean I want to fug himno offense to those who do
>>15275113
Even if you did, there's still absolutely nothing gay about wanting to have sex with Len.
Anyone going to the NY concert from Jersey? Can't afford the bus up.
>>15274178
Flights ain't cheap now, that's for sure. I booked months ago though
Driving just kills too much time for me, that alone makes flying worth it for me
>>15275584
>Anyone going to the NY concert from Jersey? Can't afford the bus up.
What town you're in and what's your budget? I'll see if I can find a cheap route but your best bet is to try to car pool with someone hopefully.
>>15273509
It's more or less like that in every city or traveller's destination. There are a segment of the locals who prey on tourists. Don't act like an idiot and they'll look for someone who does to take from instead.
>>15273601
Excellent.
>>15273769
Besides anime and Miku, my only drug is octane. But I'm not stupid like most of the drivers in my state.
>>15273944
NY at night is a real treat just to be there, and with Miku, I can't imagine a better way to spend a Saturday.
>>15274442
>200 a month on drugs
That's $200 a month you can't spend on Miku. Go get some help, for Miku's sake.

I'd like to go to a Miku concert eventually, but I Rin, Kaito and sometimes Luka. I know the concerts mostly center around Miku but how many songs do the others get apposed to her?
And how are Miku Expo? Are they just a yearly thing? I've seen pictures some anons have posted in thread and want to visit one.

Well I forgot the list for this year's show but in 2014 Miku of course had several songs, Rin and Len had a couple, one duet with Rin and Miku, only one for Meiko (Boo, she needs more), one for Kaito and two for Luka.
Also it's not a yearly thing unless you're in Japan, so far NYC and LA's shows have been two years apart but if this year does well hopefully it'll be a little more frequent.
EDIT: misspelled show as shoe...
>>15276474
This year's setlist had 27 songs; 1 Kaito, 1 Meiko, 1 Len, 1 Rin, 1 Rin/Len duet, 1 Luka. And 2 Miku/Luka duets if that counts. Basically, there's a really good reason it's "Miku Expo" and not "Vocaloid Expo".
Miku Expo by itself is so far a yearly thing with NA shows in 2014 and 2016, but there have been numerous other live performances for her dating all the way back to 2009, usually exclusive to Japan/SEA. "Miku Expo" is, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, the name of her touring shows, instead of single-location performances like Magical Mirai and anime cons.
>>15276310
An older model Subaru Impreza. It's the base model for one of Japan's premier rally cars, and it manages to be sporty in performance while still looking inconspicuous.
Not going into the city with it though. I only ever take the train in. Less hassle, cheaper/free parking.
>>15276376
Your loss. Depending on where you are, I might be able to get you to the station, but I don't disclose my location on the public web.
>>15276474
>I know the concerts mostly center around Miku but how many songs do the others get apposed to her?
Here's the set list for this year's show.

>>15276647
Better be at least a WRX.
There was a decked out "Miku Evo" itasha at the TX shows. Shit was awesome. Never seen a high quality itasha before.
>>15276676
Toronto didn;t have 39, i think.
They had Animaniguchi's Miku song.
>>15276695
Found a picture off Twitter.
Looked great in person, good quality wrap.
>>15276734
There was also this guy. Bless his heart for trying, but his decals were really cheap looking and were sunbleached and flaking. It was kind of sad.
>>15276721
>Toronto didn;t have 39, i think.
>They had Animaniguchi's Miku song.
Yeah that was Seattle's set list, so I guess there's some variations between locations.
>>15276721
>>15276772
Wow, that sucks. Why not both?
>>15276777
>Wow, that sucks. Why not both?
Your guess is a good as mine.
>>15276721
>>15276777
>>15276842
Toronto did have 39 as well as Amaaniguchi's Miku
"Was i the only one in toronto seeing all the japanese people handing out free shit?"
>>15276859
I got one of those cool insert sheets for the Pledgemusic glowstick, its pretty cool but I never used it. Were there other things being handed out
>>15276777
Houston had both if I remember right.
>>15276889
Dallas and Houston both did.
Can a Californianon verify the encore set? I wonder if Seattle is the only place to get shorted.
>>15273714
Everyone was hit with emotion when she hit the stage.
It was obvious when the stench of thousands of basement-dwelling neckbeards wasn't around for anamanaguchi, then hits you like a wave when that first note hits.
you guys need to shower and perhaps invest in an antiperspirant.
>>15276935
you're making shit up
>>15276935
You've never been to any convention before have you
>>15276905
Yeah, SF had Sharing the World, Miku with Anamanaguchi, 39, and Star Fragment
>>15277044
desu, no I have not. Always wanted to, but have no friends that share my interests and don't want to go alone.
is this a thing? why the lack of hygiene? why all the smelly?
>>15277164
Weebs generally don't congregate, therefore no one tells them they smell, therefore they don't shower as often.
The problem compounds itself with standing in line in the heat for six hours, then getting nervous and crammed into a venue along a large number of other people.
Honestly I was a little relieved when the concert was over, because it meant I wouldn't have to hang around smelly transvestites anymore.
I was there in Dallas, and there was no up-welling stench from "thousands of basement-dwellers". There was like one guy in my vicinity who smelled, and he was visibly sweaty.
Miku Expo didn't seem out of line with my other concert experiences with respect to hygiene or B.O.
>>15277249
By contrast I've been to a few pretty ill-smelling Magic tournaments. The problem with tournaments and conventions is largely the number of attendees who sleep in their cars or otherwise bum around rather than getting a room.
I was fearing the BO issue going into Houston, but Houston had a different issue. It smelled like buttery popcorn everywhere which was kind of bad since I didn't have a chance to eat much before heading out. Even Anamanaguchi's frontman pointed it out in the middle of their set.
No BO in SF, was quite a pleasant surprise. Are we supposed to hand out deodorant samples at the next expo?
I hate Len's hair.
Meiko and Luka occupy the same vocal role, and crypton should pick one to go forward with and retire the other.
>>15277438
His hair is an actual meme.
>>15276695
Sadly no, it's just a baseline. At the rate that I keep having problems with the engine though, I may decide to take the opportunity to just outright replace it with a WRX or STI one of the same model year, once I can save up enough cash for that.
Dallasfag here. Whats everyone's guess on the most energetic show for 2016? We are almost done..

Len's banana hair is awesome. It also looks kinda stupid in the official 3d models but whatever.
Uh, they just acquitted one of the cops involved in the killing of Freddie Gray. Will there be a riot in Chicago?

I'm guessing no, because it's not that close to Baltimore.... but it's still a little concerning.

I've heard that concert tours in the EU have much higher upfront expenses than similar tours in the US.

Toronto is like two hours from Detroit, and the usd is always stronger, Toronto concerts only make sense.
I just don't want to have to drive eight hours or fly to have to see the next expo.
>>15280098
I didn't know. I thought it was just Rookiez is Punk'd.
Has anyone heard any word on a bluray release for the 2016 expo?
The 2014 expo advertised it in the pamphlet you got at the show.
I just haven't heard anything and it worries me, because from a setlist and technology perspective the 2016 show kicks all the ass.
>>15278972
Are you ready to get hyped?
I said, ARE YOU READY TO GET HYPED?
YOU'D BETTER BE HYPED, 'CAUSE THERE AIN'T NO BRAKES ON THIS HYPE TRAIN!
>>15281370
It would be weird if they didn't sell it for this year, I wouldn't worry just yet.
>>15281484
I only worry because I know that some retailers didn't sell out of the 2014 bluray until late 2015. It might not be seen as lucrative enough to justify a new one.
https://event.goodsmile.info/nendoro10thanniv/en/diva-code/
Nice! That's a really great module, definitely deserves it.
>>15281692
They always release a Bluray. Besides, I think they will do a compilation for all of the cities on the tour. (either as concert footage or as bonus interview footage).
If June passes without any news, then you should worry.
>>15279740
Get fucked europe. Not enough people showed up for the miku opera a few years ago, you had your chance to prove there was a demand in Europe and yet they blew it. Shameful.
I don't care about your opinion of the show, but regardless, you have to show your support even if you didn't like it.
>>15281889
>you have to like things even if you don't like them
I get the point you are trying to make, but you can't dispute that Europe got fucked hard on miku concerts.
Maybe the interest will pick up if miku gets an Arabic module.
>>15281889
>Not enough people showed up for the miku opera a few years ago
Fuck, not only that. I also heard that some people just walked out in the middle of the show.
>>15281889
>you have to show your support even if you didn't like it.
It's not that I'm trying to change the subject, because I like shitting on Europe as much Merkel does, but I've been wondering recently what is the most efficient way to support Miku?
I feel like the initial answer most people would have is "buy the merch" but I still wonder what to buy to get the most part of my dollar to her. I used to be really big in the figure scene, but I felt like most of my money would be going to the distributor, the manufacturer, the artist, the sculptor, etc with very little, if any, making its way back to Crypton.
So for the past 3 years, I've been stuck with the Project Diva games (even though I don't have a Vita or PS3 to play the f series) and live event DVDs, and of course now the concert and official merch from the show.
Is there something else I should be buying to line Miku's pockets and help keep her around for longer?
>>15281895
Yes I know, poor wording on my part but you understand what I'm saying. I know Europe gets fucked over, I get quite happy over that. I'm having a bet with a fellow miku fag that Miku will go to South America over Europe. I think I'll be happy when I get to cash in on my bet.
>>15281942
That's cruel. Imagine if Itoh or anyone from CFM went to one of the showings only to see people walk out. That would be depressing to see. Probably wouldn't want to come back if there was poor ticket sales as well.
>>15282087
The best way to show support is to actually buy the music. In terms of importance, digital downloads on the Karen-T label > CD's by a company [Exit tunes, etc], > Doujin CD's
The reason I say that is because a long time ago when Mikubook was a thing, I remember there was an official announcement claiming that they tracked the sales of overseas digital downloads and they found that over 50% came from out of Japan. If you really want to convince CFM, buy some music. (Most importantly music from the CFM label, Karen-T)
http://karent.jp/
>>15282216
If only it wasn't so much itunes.
I got it. Next time Itoh comes to North America, I'll track him down and just give him an envelope with like $1000 in it. Can't get more efficient than that. I wonder if he'd take it.
>>15282216
What did Europe do to you?
>>15282398
I don't think he'd take it.

Nothing at all, Europe is just a shithole. Might as well poke fun at it. Besides, european fans can always fly out to a Japan concert if they so please. Nothing stopping them from doing that.
Does anyone know how many songs the Amamama bitch sings? Pretty bummed that she is taking away from Miku's time.
>>15282797
There's no singer.
Their opening is about 30 minutes long, and another 10~15 minutes to setup for Miku's band.
>>15282824

Explain, Idk what/who Amama is

Two guitars, a bass, and a drum, with synth/vocals playing through speakers.
They're actually pretty okay. I went in with low expectations and was pleased. Meow is fun live.
>>15282845
They don't play anything it's just a recording geez.
Oh boy!
My only real problem with the concert was the whole glowstick idea. at the Dallas venue, the stage was fairly low. I imagine it works better on taller stages, but having arms in your face is a pain in the ass.
>>15283310
I like her design, but isn't the hype somewhat disproportionate to the amount of songs she has?
>>15283342
This is why I kept my elbow tucked and waved in front of myself. Better for the people behind me. Plus, it's not like waving your glowstick higher would change anything.
>>15283378
I'd say she has a fair amount of songs released so far. It's just that in comparison to Japanese Vocaloid songs per month, the difference is more staggering.
>>15283378
Yukari's more popular than Luka, who has a ton of merch.
>>15283399
Wanna share any? I've only heard like 1 or 2. She does sound way better than the other chinese vocaloids.
>>15283400
Yukari could definitely use more merch.
>>15283342
Yeah. I was mid rear, And I felt like the floor layout had a slight sloping hill. Something weird was going on with the floor in there. I'd stand up high and see a sea of people I couldn't see before. I swear that floor hit 100+ degrees in some areas. I'm honestly surprised people didn't faint. After Magnet played I had to back out of the area where I started a ways.
>>15283411
Sure, I don't have too many, but I agree. She and Yan He are best ones.

No merch presales at the Chicago sales.

Odd thing to happen.
>>15285661
Yeah it's not a smart idea to have merchandise outside in Chicago.
>>15285678
Did anywhere besides Dallas have an indoor merch booth?
are there people that actually like the other vocaloids? whenever there are songs in project diva that aren't miku i just play them once on easy to get other songs
>>15285717
I don't really like any of the other Cryptonloids but I love Yukari/IA/Gumi even more than Miku.
>>15285717
I mostly only like Miku and IA. There are a few songs by some other vocaloids that I like but not many.
>>15285717
fuck this guy especially
>>15285717
I like Gumi a bunch. She's my second favorite because her voice is so good. IA is also good but Gumi and IA are honestly the only non-Crypton ones I know.
>>15285762
Why do male vocaloids even need to exist? Len can stay because he's barely a boy. Someone at Dallas was bragging about how much they loved Big Al and I'm like, fucking why?
>>15285762
Yeah, the male vocaloids mostly sound like shit and have the worst fujo/homo fanbase.
>>15285762
His voice annoys the fuck outta me and that song he did in the 2014 show sounds like a yodeling fucktard.
>>15285789

What are some good Gumi songs? This is the only one I like:

>>15285717
I do the same.
I maxed Miku's affinity and have not even visited any other vocaloid once.
>>15285717
Miku is definitely my favourite, the kagamines have some good songs, Luka has fewer, meiko has like two, kaito has none.

>>15286006
this cant just be unique to here right? But why do they include so many more songs with the other asswipes. Literally who likes them.
>>15285717
Kagamines are my favorites. Love their design and they have a whole bunch of good songs and some talented producers use them. I like Miku a lot of course but her voice gets tiring sometimes, I prefer her Dark/Solid songs. Luka is also great and has her vocal niche. Don't really care for Kaito and Meiko but don't hate them either.
>>15286127
Maybe you don't, but a whole lot of people do. I'll admit I don't really play Kaito and Meiko songs in the games, but they get only one song each in any game/concert ever, I'm sure you can live with that and just go listen to the 30 other Miku songs.

Gotta agree with >>15286470, you're all casuals in this thread. Which is kind of sad because if I wanted to talk only about how much everyone sucks except Miku I'd go to the Youtube comments section.
>>15286732
Even youtube comments are less close minded than the Mikufags here. For shame.
>>15286732
>not liking shitty vocaloids makes you casual
I'd say you have that backwards, friend. Miku and IA are consistently good, unlike the others.
>>15286470
>>15286732
>>15286761
If you hate it here so much, you're free to go anywhere else.
>>15286732
I think it's because it's MikuExpo season, honestly. It sure brings in more posts, at a very fast pace moreso than before, but many of them have brought off topic blogshit, /pol/shit, 3DPD posts and a concentration of fans who only have listened to Cryptonloids plus Gumi and IA at best and only Miku at worst and then write every other Vocaloid off.
I know the majority of Vocaloid fans have only listened to those mentioned above, but if you look at some of those fans, their ignorance truly shows when they haven't even tried to listen to other Vocaloids (without being spoonfed of course) and then have the indecency to make silly assumptions and edgy commentary in spite of all of this.
It's the same thing with producers. Because so many "top hits" producers are retiring, debuting professionally, or even worse, make music exclusively with utaites, people think "Vocaloid is dying" and "the sky is falling" because they don't even bother supporting underrated, lesser known, local or newer talent out there.
This kind of mentality has been around everywhere btw, not just here. It's highly contagious.
I'm going to the afternoon NYC show, and I'll probably arrive around 9/10 in the morning.
Is it possible to buy merch before the show, or is it only after? And should I line up immediately, or will I have time?
I'll be exiting Penn like, 2 minutes away from Hammerstein Ballroom.
>>15286845
Merch dates and times are still unknown since the twitter account hasn't updated with that yet. I would preferably like to buy merch on Friday since I'm going to the night show on Saturday.
>>15286851
>would preferably like to buy merch on Friday since I'm going to the night show on Saturday.
Shit, I can't make it til Saturday morning.
I hope they don't run out on Friday, if they choose to sell then.
>>15286817
I think that's a pretty large generalization. I prefer high-pitched vocals which is why I mainly enjoy Miku and IA over the others.
>>15286855
I only am arriving to NYC on Friday because of Digital Stars. I know a lot of out of state people are going to have a problem either way, especially when shit like this is announced last minute.
>>15286863
Of course I don't mean all, that's why I typed "if you look at some of those fans" and of course, this is based on the observation of people's behaviors I have noticed.
Everyone has their own reasons for liking a Vocaloid.
Plus you're being reasonable, I don't think you were one of the previous hostile anons.
>your favourite Vocaloid isn't some unheard of Chinese subtype therefore you're a cancer on the franchise
Seriously, we need to have a pitchfork for Vocaloid so all the hipsters can go such each others dicks somewhere else.
It's perfectly fine not to like or even care about lesser known Vocaloid, and on the flip side, you aren't a better fan because you know a producer that only two other people have ever heard of because he only works with Latin gumi or some shit.
>>15286896
>tfw can't suck my own hipster dick
>>15286767
But other vocaloids you're ignoring like Luka, Kagamines, Gumi and Yukari are also consistently good, have lots of good producers and very popular songs. It's *okay* to like a few vocaloids more than others, I'd say it's to be expected really. It's just annoying when everyone has to think their favorite vocaloids are "better" just because they like them more.
>>15286470
>Huurrr you HAVE to like all the Vocaloids no matter what.
Man piss off, I don't like KAITO cause his voice annoys me then I don't like KAITO period. Everyone has a right to an opinion so deal with it.
Honestly I wish there were more famous tunes for Luka and Meiko as they're horribly overshadowed by Miku but Miku is the flagship voicebank of Crypton and both Luka and Meiko's voices can really be only used for very specific types of music.
tl:dr: Don't like MY opinion, too fucking bad.
Is it worth importing PDF 1 Vita? I'd rather not buy digital if I can help it (I like owning physical, and Vita memory cards are jew-tier).
I know the game is probably easy to navigate, and I did it with IA.

What do you guys think about News 39
>>15283438
Really? It was probably one of the coolest concerts I've ever been to and I was near the left/middle area. Their AC unit must have been fucked up.
Kagamine Rin's my favorite with Miku close behind her. I like Luka's voice and design but she just doesn't get enough material to sing. Yuyoyuppe makes her excel but his material can get repetitive. But for some Luka excellence, check out her cover of Tell Your World. Pure sex.
Kaito I like just to be edgy. Thousand Year Solo is beast.
Meiko can just die.

Are you 16 or what. Dumbest thing I've read today.
Miku, Luka, Rin, Len, miki, Lily, GUMI, Yukari, IA, Mayu, Lapis, Iroha. Those are the vocaloid I all love and listen to regularly (some more so than others). I'm not exactly a fan of other male Vocaloids but I still end up listening to Kaito and Gakupo at times if artists I like have made songs with them that aren't half bad (otetsu comes to mind as an example). SeeU sounds good but I'm not really into Korean; Chinese-wise I've yet to listen to that Yukari clone.
UTAU-wise, Yufu, Tei, Arisu and Momo are my favorite. Teito and Ritsu can sound pretty good depending on who uses them. When it comes to UTAU I usually go with artists rather than random songs, the UTAU fandom is a bit cancerous for lack of better words but there are some really talented artists out there. My favorite being きの (嘆きのP) (who's also a Yukari user).
I've seen the word "hipster" dropped around here and I don't even know how to begin explaining how retarded it is. Because some of us aren't constantly talking about concerts (who are 99% Miku and 99% Youtube popular-tier songs) and playing the games over and over again we're hipsters? How incredibly short-minded is this. I get it people don't like feeling unsecured or insulted about what they like but I swear this place is oddly closed-minded. I haven't visited in years and yet I've seen many folks over VO with much more varied taste than the average /jp/ user. It's as if all you people cared about was to fap your Crypton dakimura all while listening to The World is Mine on repeat all day - in other words more attracted by Miku as an idol than the music itself; which wouldn't be surprising considering how autistic /jp/ is about those.
There are hundreds and hundreds of really interesting artists out there, for your own sake burst your bubble and seek them.
engloidconcert when?
Anyone going to Chicago concert know when merch is going on sale?
>>15289805
I'm in agreement.
>>15289857
Iroha, Lily, Yufu and Momo are wonderful. And otetsu is great, whenever someone mentions vocarock or needs suggestion I point to him.
Yeah I also agree that the bar set for vocaloid hipsters is set really low when project Diva, miku expo and vocaloid weekly rankings are just the tip of the iceberg.
Well that's the thing with Vocaloid. Initially it was just marketing virtual idols when nowadays it is so much more than that. I usually try to talk about the music and producers with others mainly and the other aspects are less of a priority to me.
>>15289990VOCAMERICA is going to be the first to introduce a modern Engloid projection concert. I would want to continue talking about this under spoilers as it can easily piss off other fans whether it be that they think dumb stuff such as all engloids being bad, or are irrelevant or have beef with Dex and Daina's voicers, seeing as Daina's voicer is the one organizing it. I have already seen the beef beforehand in public social media or forums js. So far, I find the mmd models being used great and the project being transparent, but I am still concerned if the money being crowdfunded and invested is going to be enough, seeing as the budget is more on the lower side. I am still iffy on why they are going to use UTAUs also seeing as it is blatant self promotion, but I guess it's expected. Hope we can also see other engloids being incorporated with the stretch goals. http://www.vocaloidnews.net/vocamerica-kickstarter-stretch-goals-announced1/

I'm nervous. This is going to be my first MikuExpo ever and I'm flying in from another continent. I really hope I don't fuck up or misplace anything.
At least it helps that I've been to New York before, but still, I've barely slept.
I hope the stress is worth it.

>hurr durr all the casuals in this thread who only know the Cryptonloids
In fact, most of the regulars in these threads do listen to other stuff, a lot of them actually buy albums shipped from Japan and stalk niconico for the latest uploads. It's just dumb to complain during Miku Expo season that most of the discussion is on the Crytponloids, doing so just makes you sound pretentious.
>>15290901
The complaints aren't because of the cryptonloids discussion though. They are the most discussed even when Miku expo is not on. Read this whole thread again. It's because of shit like "Hurr durr I only like Miku shes my waifu why do other vocaloids even exist"
