Episode Seven: Gumi, One More Time, One More Time!

For no real reason I'm a bit dead. Just. Dead. Can't write. Can't.
... Maybe I should work on...
I don't know.
Anyways.
Sorry if I sound... drained I guess...?

Featured Vocaloid

Our Featured Vocaloid is Megpoid, whose character name is Gumi. She is Internet Co., Ltd.'s second Vocaloid and seventh Japanese Vocaloid in all. Her voice provider is Megumi Nakajima, who is more well-known to be the voice actor for the character Ranka Lee in the anime Macross Frontier. Because of this, Gumi's design is heavily based off of Ranka's. I mean, just look at this picture.  Her carroter... ehm... Character Item is a carrot. Please refer to picture to see why. ... Yeah. Her most notable songs are Our 16bit Warz, For Campanella, Coward Montblanc, Mozaik Role, Ten-Faced... actually, she's got a lot of notable songs. She's given Miku a run for her money in the rankings too. Her typical portrayal is of a excitable, energetic, plucky girl-- which is a bit surprising, seeing as a lot of her songs deal with failed romance, unrequited love, et cetera. Her voice has a pleasant, breathy rasp to it which adds to its almost realistic quality. She's also noted by some producers to be the easiest Japanese Vocaloid to tune in terms of English pronunciation. 

Featured Producer

Our Featured Producer is Genjitsotouhi-P, more commonly referred to as wowaka. He's known for his fast-paced songs which-- if you read some of the Youtube comments-- apparently are the story of everyone's lives. So there's that. He often uses Miku and just as often provides no PV at the first release of the song. Seriously. There's this one song that sounded like wowaka's but people could tell it wasn't because it had a legit, in-full-color PV. His most well-known songs are World's End Dancehall, Rollin' Girl, and Unhappy Refrain. Anyways, yes, his album "Unhappy Refrain" can be found on iTunes. You're welcome.

Voca-bulary

So! "Seiyuu" is the term for "voice actor" in Japanese. You may also hear it in reference to the voice provider of a Vocaloid. You may also hear the voice provider being referred to as the Vocaloid in question's "daddy" ... Actually, this is only in the case of Naoto Fuuga and Kaito. I've never heard it applied to any other seiyuu and Vocaloid... 

What's on Spaz's iPod?

Rollin' Girl. Sung by Miku and by wowaka. It was my first Vocaloid song and I'm really attached to this song. It's also kind of a punch in the feels with the PV. Moi ikkai, mou ikkai...

Classic Classic of Classicness

World's End Dancehall, a duet by Luka and Miku-- again by wowaka. Now, shall we dance with a hop step?

Crowning Music of Awesome

Unhappy Refrain. Miku. Wowaka. Awesome. References to other wowaka songs. Awesome. 

Crowning Music of Sad

Time Forgotten One-- by hinayukki/Shigotoshite-P, sung by Kaito. It's so pretty and sad... and then you realize the spoiler... *sniff*

Crowning PV of Why in the world and What in the world

This PV for a song called "The Near Future City" ... actually, maybe that's the album/EP name and it's four songs mashed together? I'm not sure, but the PV is awesome and a punch in the feels, especially if you're a Gakupo or Kaito fan. (why is he all alone in space? *sob*) 

Spotlight Cover and Spotlight Duet TIMES TWO COMBO!

You may now listen to Rin and Len:

1. Completely own Unhappy Refrain

2. Completely pwn World's End Dancehall

And now, you may listen to Kaito

1. Be awesome singing World's End Dancehall (yes, that's Kaito)

2. Be awesome singing Rolling Girl and it's rap version at the same time. 

Awesome. Completely, utterly awesome.

Random Recommendation

Sadly unsubbed, DualSoul is a well-done Meiko and Gumi duet.
