But first here an eye candy~
Sena: I am Hatsune Niku~ Miku: And I am...Miku? XD
Alright, lets start with the first song shall we?
Let start with something slow, again, We have our diva, Miku Append singing the song 'Light in the Blooming Garden' (光の咲く庭で) composed by natsumeg. Enjoy~
Ah, nothing like a good slow music to cool of my days. Miku Append contain lot of good voicebanks so I sure hope more composer will be using her in their songs.
Alright second up we have, IA singing a cover of the song "Turn Me On" by David Guetta. It was mixed by one of my favorite non-Japanese composer, Circus-P/matt9five.
Hahaha, proper English is still way long for Vocaloid it seems, but the music is decent. Hopefully matt9five produced new song rather than just making covers. Been a while since Amai Kotoba.
Let have our songstress GUMI sing the third one shall we? I give you, Setsugetsuka (雪月花), songs made by devilish5150.
Yup, nothing wrong with good VocaRock once a while. Wait scratch that let keep on rocking!!
Alright folks, this is the last song, VY3 Lily is singing 'Leviathan', work of the team monaca:factory. As some of you might know, VY3 has been succesfully released yesterday on 19th of April. We from Vocaloidsync hope that composers will continue on working with her~
Well, thats all peeps. See you next week and Selamat Malam!!( >w<)~

Fans! Are you good in Nihongo/Japanese languange?! Sure you are, after all those years of watching animes, J-doramas and stalking in the Net, particularly 2-chan. Fufufufu~
In that case, you might be interested to join a contest to test you capability. sasakure.UK with the help of HearJapan is giving the chance for worldwide fans to try translate one of his notable song which is featured in his latest albumThe Fantastic Reality of Aesop. Click read more for more details and to hear his song~
Alright there it is~ I hope the song make you geared up to ransack that brains, translating all the kanjis and hiraganas used. Well, in any rate lets discuss on further about the contest shall we?
But before that, I believe two introduction are in order~
For Vocaloid fans, I believe most are familiar with sasakure.UK, but I will tell you anyhow! The composer was born in Fukushima and he grew up influenced by literary works and music from 8-bit and 16-bit style, which pretty much explain his style of composing. sasakure.UK work basically use Miku as main vocal and most of his song spun abstract stories with wide array of funky sounds. Those who interested to learn more about him, click here.
As for Hear Japan, its a Japanese digital music platform which enable its users to pay to download from various Japanese artists. Its price currently is quite decent where the album with 17 songs can only cost 500 yen/ 6.19USD. In other word, its a cheap legal substitute to the normal expensive hard copy disc. I encourage fans to buy from this site from time to time as support toVocaloid and J-artist, as you can actually just pay at 50yen price to buy for one song only.
Alright, lets get back to main focus which is the contest.
First of all, you are required to translate the above said song into English and send them to HearJapan email before the deadline which is 11 May. Oh you also have to register yourself as a HearJapan user to enter, dont worry its free. Hear Japan is also being generous by giving all entrants a 200 credit point which you can use to buy songs. Oh, and your work MUST BE ORIGINAL as well.
First prize will get an illustrated book of the translated song andThe Fantastic Reality of AesopCD which are signed by sasakure.UK himself. Want to hear more details on the contest? Please click here.
Well, I wish you all the best folks. May the Vocaloid Force be with you~
Len X Gumi. That's definitely a rare and interesting pairing. This pairing was featured in the album Gliese by the producer Nem. To me, Nem's songs are often light and simple, and yet these songs have a immerse sentimental and romantic character to them. Some of Nem's hit songs includeアリスにさよなら . The album Gliese contains everything, if not, more than what you would expect from a producer as popular as Nem.
Nem's songs are not your regular pop/rock songs. While most of his songs have a upbeat tempo similar to those of the common rock band songs, these songs often have a rather heavy and dark feel to them. Furthermore, Nem is also an awesome utaite (singer) You can check out some of his covers on NND here (link).
Now, back to the album review. This is Nem's second album, Gliesse which launched at the end of 2011. Practically this album featured the many facets of Nem's music style.
宵闇のアウグスティン / 鏡音レン
LOVE DEATH / 鏡音レン
嗚呼、素晴らしきニャン生 / GUMI×鏡音レン
Oasis No.404 / GUMI
virgin suicides / 鏡音レン
夢喰い白黒バク / 鏡音レン
a song flying to you / GUMI
Somatic Delusion / GUMI×鏡音レン
Stoic Party / 鏡音レン
星を渡る鳥 / 鏡音レン
First impressions:
星を渡る鳥 - As the cover song, it left a deep impression on me (I have to admit, I am a sucker when it comes to Len solo pieces)
virgin suicides - Guess Rin ain't the only Kagamine twin who could do good rock song. Nevertheless, Nem is definitely impressive with his use of Len's voicebank.
夢喰い白黒バク - this song was once on the top spot of the Weekly VocaRan. Quickly listen to this song to find out why.
Second thoughts:
Stoic Party - The electric guitar intro drawn me to this song while Len's vocals kept me clicking the replay button.
Somatic Delusion - Kinda reminds me of his previous work, アリスにさよなら
A song flying to you - Well, I do have a soft spot for sentimental songs. And this song filled in that gap, along with other Vocaloids songs such asJust Be Friends.
Yosh, everyone! How was your Monday blues? Pretty much the same as always, working till you drop dead and wishing for the time to magically skip to Friday, am I right? Poor you. Do not fret, DJ Hellcove will help re-energize your body back to GENKI-mode! How do I do it, you wonder?
With VOCALOID MUSIC OFCUZ!!~ (But first let me play with my Miku 1st~)
Miku: GIVE ME THE LEEK!! =3=~

Madame Tussauds, a wax museum with branches in many major cities across the global which features wax replicas of famous people, has received over 6000 requests to create a Hatsune Miku wax figure.
With 100 different requests submitted, standing at the top in 1st place is Hatsune Miku with 6,701 votes. In 2nd place is korean pop group, Super Junior with 5,318 votes, (a thousand vote difference with the leader) closely followed by Udom Taephanich, a popular Thai comedian with 5,021 votes in 3rd place.
Why exactly Hatsune Miku is considered for a wax figure rendition abroad instead in her own home country is puzzling her fans back home. This could be due to the current branch in Odaiba, Tokyo not being fully furnished as a complete Madame Tussauds musuem yet.
At the moment, an ongoing survey is being conducted as to feature which celebrity in the new Madame Tussauds Tokyo, with different categories such as World Leaders, Sports and Music.
If you'd like to see Hatsune Miku is the upcoming museum, please following the link below and submit "初音ミク" in the ミューシック (Music) category, such as the example below.
One may participant in the survey and submit desired names in their respective genres at the following link:
Hello and welcome to VocaloidSync's first official blog post! I'm one of the authors Reigan and I'll be bringing you weekly producer spotlights and some of the latest Vocaloid news! Today I would like to write about producer Rerulili, you might probably know him from Mr. Music
To start off, let's have a listen at his most renowned work, Mr. Music.
Rerulili (or Toushahi-P) is a producer known for his wide musical knowledge and he is able to compose songs of different genres. His songs are usually pop, funk, rock and ballad genres. Let's take a look at Rerulili's first work
Itsumoyori Nakimushi na Sora feat. Hatsune Miku. He uploaded this work in the year 2009 and until now, this song is still as popular among the Vocaloid community. Itsumoyori Nakimushi na Sora successfully hit 2nd spot in the Weekly Vocaran #102, and since then, many people have been eyeing on this new promising producer.
True enough Rerulili delivered one after another without fail on what the fans expected (maybe more!) His next big hit was Knife and according to Rerulili this is a song of mixed genres including EDO, Funk, Afro, and Rock.
How about a funk song from Rerulili? He's one of my favourite producer who produces great funk songs
In addition, Rerulili himself is quite a good singer!
Rerulili can play the guitar, piano and bass very well too. So far, Rerulili has dished out 3 albums, Mugic, Mr. Music and Rhythmism.
That's all for now! Here are several links that you may find useful
