É bem difícil achar vídeos relacionados ao primeiro concerto (que aconteceu no dia 20 de agosto) e, quando encontrados, são apenas trechos com qualidade visual e auditiva bem ruim, como o abaixo: ↪ Perfomance da música Nekomimi Switch feita por Arisa Mitsuko em seu primeiro show, ocorrido em agosto de 2011. Segundo seus criadores, ela tem como objetivo ser uma ponte que conecta o Japão ao México, e já ocorreram alguns shows com sua participação, tanto na capital quanto em outras cidades do país. ㅤㅤArisa Mitsuko (愛咲ミツコ) é uma personagem mexicana criada em agosto de 2011 pelo grupo Mitsuko Arisa Team, ou TnTVirtual (que será abreviado para MAT a partir deste ponto), e fez sua estreia em um evento de cultura japonesa chamado ExpoTNT, na Cidade do México. Uma personagem com uma história bem controvérsia e confusa que até hoje não ficou bem esclarecida e, por isso, trouxe uma imagem negativa a ela, mesmo não sendo necessariamente sua culpa. algumas pessoas da comunidade de VOCALOID têm péssimas lembranças deste nome, enquanto outras nunca o viram antes na vida. It is also very nostalgic since several important sites like VocaloidOtaku closed years ago.Īrisa Mitsuko: a “Vocaloid” mexicana Imagem por: Rouss-Black It is beautiful to think about how much the Vocaloid community has changed over the years. They have achieved several things that I have never dreamed of from this part of the fandom. Those songs are iconic, no matter if you like them or not. It even got a novel in 2015 that also has an English translation! And a famous artist made the cover! It was also the first American Vocaloid song in the Hall of Legend on Nicovideo. This song has been a massive contribution to us, to the point it was featured in some well-known rhythm games, like Jubeat or REFLECT BEAT plus. It is, by far, one of the most iconic Vocaloid songs out there. The vague lyrics and the weird, yet captivating video inspired hundreds of fans making covers with other voicebanks, fanarts, dance covers, etc. Vocaloid was starting to get more mainstream in the west.Īfter that, a well-known duo called CIRCRUSH conformed by Crusher-P and Circus-P gave us probably the most important song from the western Vocaloid fandom, called ECHO.ĮCHO's video was released on October 7th in the same year. It gained millions of plays on both Youtube and Soundcloud (being the 1st English Vocaloid song with more than a million views on this site). Sad Machine by Porter Robbinson got released on May 13, 2014, gaining a lot of attention from both Vocaloid fans and electronic music ones. They have done a lot for this community, and also made our fanbase well-known overseas over the years in fact, 2014 was the most crucial year for the western fanbase thanks to two songs. The fact that they even noticed those problems says a lot.Įven though my criticism towards the English-speaking Vocaloid community and its producers is strong, I can't hate them. This also affected Vocaloid's image to several aspiring musicians that weren't anime fans or didn't like anime at all, since they related Vocaloid with anime due to the fans and its newbie musicians. They tried to emulate so hard to be like Hachi or Machigerita, they tried so hard to appeal to the fandom, that they forgot about making something that differenced them from others, or better said, something that differenced him from the Japanese Vocaloid musicians. Several popular songs didn't transmit anything to me at all, because the other older and bigger side of the fandom has been doing the same thing over the years. It felt like they were trying too hard to be edgy. They were trying to emulate the eerie and creepy aesthetics that several Japanese Vocaloid producers have delivered over the years. Sadly, for some years, the producers got stuck. Of course, the music sounded amateurish, but you could sense the passion that those kids added to their songs. Most of them were minors that were still experimenting with programs like FL Studio or Ableton. There are few documented songs made by non-japanese musicians before the Vocaloid Boom, and one of the few ones was Tears of an Angel by Mike Oldfield, who is famous for his groundbreaking album called Tubular Bells.Īfter that, Vocaloid started to gain a lot of attention, and young aspiring musicians from all over the world felt inspired to make music with this software. While the Japanese side of Vocaloid is more universally known, I want to focus on the western side. I've seen the community grow over the years, and therefore, how many producers have joined the scene, left the community, or unfortunately passed away. I've been a Vocaloid fan for over a decade. Some random thoughts about the western Vocaloid scene Hello! This is my first time I’m writing in Tumblr! Hope you like this.
