Vocaloid 4 review
I liked the time capsule comic, probably because it featured KAITO and followed canon the closest. The last 20 pages or so are devoted to cute short stories of Miku and her friends. The beauty of Vocaloid is that each person can interpret the same character differently, so referring to her like she has a set image a la Lady Gaga is annoying. I particularly dislike the diva references to Miku, as if she were a real person. Then it gets a bit boring as lots of adverts jump in expounding how diverse the franchise is and so on. I will include this one by Kamijo Eri, which is just stylistic awesomeness:Īlso worth noting for sheer creativity is artist Milo's work with paper:

Prepare to have your eyes glaze over.īefore that though, there are a bunch of full length illustrations. The generic cuteness and blue tones go on. In the second half, the artwork continues, with Miku mysteriously getting plumper. One is this gorgeous painting by Meola, which I presume is a water-colour:Īnother is by Ryouno-san, who combines their favourite things - Vocaloids and masking tape:

While most of the illustrations are run-of-the-mill pieces that focus exclusively on Miku and her blue dress, there are a couple of stunning works worth applauding as art on their own.

The first section is the highlight of the book. The book can be divided into roughly three sections - two parts containing artist focused works separated by a poster collection and a last section with a few stories.

Hatsune Miku, the girl with blue hair on the cover, is the most popular, so unsurprisingly, 98% of the graphics in here are hers. Basically you input the lyrics and melody of a song and a Vocaloid will sing it for you. And it was a pretty neat find, all things considered.įor those who don't know, Vocaloids are a voice synthesising software produced in - you guessed it - Japan. Being a rabid Vocaloid fan, I didn't waste any time downloading it. I browsing through Netgalley titles and ran across this.
