Episode Fourteen: The Appearance of a Green Dinosaur

At first this afternoon I was like "what am I supposed to do to pass time?" and right in the middle of pinterest I remembered OH SNAP BLOG ENTRY TONIGHT--!


Featured Vocaloid


Our Featured Vocaloid is Gachapoid, also known as Ryuto. He's based off of "Gachapin", who is apparently a character in a popular Japanese TV show for kids... I think...? So, he resembles that character. He also has a anthropomorphic design which most people use. He's the thirteenth Japanese Vocaloid distributed by Internet Co., Ltd. He was intended to appeal to younger producers, and his voice is very childish. ... I'm terribly sorry, but I can't find any original Gachapoid songs. Have a talkloid instead. (language warning). Because of his childish voice, he sounds quite cute but it's difficult to have him sing like a professional singer.


Featured Producer


The Featured Producer is Bousou-P, also known as cosMo. cosMo is especially known for the Disappearance of Hatsune Miku, which is part of a whole series dedicated to an interpretation of a Vocaloid's birth, life, and death. Pretty interesting stuff. Other series he's made are "The Fantastic Garden" and "Dr. Realist". Lots of his songs are almost impossibly fast, pushing the limits of the Vocaloid program itself. 


VocaloVocabulary


"Aka" means red, "Kage" means shadow, "Ki" means yellow... where am I going with this? The many colors of the Kaito fanmades, right? Right! There's about a whole lot of them, but the major ones are:

Akaito: Red, likes chili peppers, a bit of a delinquent. (one step lower)
Kikaito: Yellow, cheerful and a sunny personality *ba-dum-ching* (two steps lower)
Nigaito: Green, likes green tea, often sick. (two steps higher)
Taito: Purple, character item is an ice pick, a "yandeloid" (one step higher)
Zeito: Like Zatsune is to Hatsune.  (?? steps higher)
Kageito: Kaito's shadow. Curious, childish, lonely.(distorted)


What's on Spaz's iPod?


Gekkou Total Eclipse sung by Kaito and by Machigeriita-P. Tuning isn't great, but something about it is catchy...


The Classics


Fire Flower sung by Len and by halyosy. This will also get stuck in your head.


Crowning Music of Awesome


Leaping from 0 to Eternity, one of cosMo's most recent songs that, surprisingly, wraps up the Disappearance series. It seems to be in preparation for Miku's birthday.


Crowning Music of Whatever


Whatever! by buriru-P and sung by Miku. Title says it all. 


Crowning "Music" of Funny


Well, there is a "song" in it. But mostly this thing by UmeboshiP is Kagamine Len Just Being Annoying..


Spotlight Duet


Nem and Tama strike again in Phantom Thieves Peter and Jenny, with Rin and Len. 

And then OwataP and SyujinP present Youth Government Agency, with Rin and Len (+ Kaito in speaking parts) (also read description for translation enlightenment) (this is really cute)


Random Recommendation


Teto's "Whisper Append" cover of Hirari, Hirari is really really pretty.


Recent News


Miku Flick 2 has been announced! This time with Rin and Luka, songs like Love is War, magnet, Meltdown, and Just Be Friends! Still expensive, though, dunno when it'll come out...
