Weekend Spotlight: Sing Off

artist: Toono Ao

Welcome to what I hope will be another regular feature here on Vocaloidism, especially since this category seems so very unused. D:  Every Saturday (blog local time), we’ll highlight some fun Vocaloid goodness and whatever I or whoever ends up writing this feels is noteworthy.

What are you waiting for?  Come on in [...]

Sonika’s Other New Look Determined For Real This Time

Annoymous for now

You are looking at the winning entry for the Sonika’s New Look contest.  The name of the winner has not been disclosed, but a copy of Sonika software is making a beeline to his or her door as we speak.  Congratulations.

This had absolutely nothing to do [...]

2009 Vocaloidism Awards – Part 2

Welcome back to the Vocaloidism Awards.  Before we continue, I must say hello and welcome to those who were pointed to us by the Hatsune MikuMiku blog, who translated Part 1 of our show to Japanese. Whether it was to laud us or mock us is moot, because we like being famous. 日本語が苦手ですけど、日本のみんなあさん、いらしゃいませ。 m(_ _)m [...]

Sonika’s New Look May Not Be So New

Source: Zero-G's product page for Sonika

This is a bit of a tale, so listen closely.  Cy Ross was browsing through the Synthesizer Festa catalog when he caught a glimpse of this box art.  The Hatsune MikuMiku blog (who translated our Vism Award article, which is totally cool, and [...]

MMD Update – November 2009

Of course they used protection; their shoes are on.

As a semi-hearted attempt to implement featured articles on a regulated basis, I’m going to start doing an MMD article at or around the 1st of the month to recap the news and notes. This won’t stop major stuff from being posted [...]

Introducing the 2009 Vocaloidism Awards

Our new logo, provided by user LivingFlame

Thank you to everyone who voted on the logo contest.  I voted for DK, but of course he had to go and choke away the victory, but LF’s design is quite nice.  It will be used with love forever and ever and ever.  If you have [...]

MikuMikuDance goes next-gen with Version 6

One bad touch deserves another

On November 11th, the Vocaloid Promotional Video Project has released a brand new version of MMD.  Version 6 is going to be a new, souped-up version of the software we all know and love.  Because of this, it’s in a “pilot” version available in the usual places.  It’s still not [...]

Why we need logos

Oh hi.  Thanks for donating, but we’re not done with you yet.  Vocaloidism, as with most blogs, is always a work in process.  This time, we’re working on our image.  Literally.

We don’t have a shiny logo yet, but several of our forum patrons have provided some very nice options.  Go to this thread and choose [...]

Why we need donations

If you’ve visited our site recently, you’re probably wondering why there’s now a donation button on the side.  Well, it has to do with our forums.  Vocaforum ran on leased vBulletin technology, and that lease has expired, so there is currently no forum.  A year’s lease is $95, but Kevin (the site owner) is looking [...]
