I'm sure someone saw this thread coming. Vocaloid is a voice synthesis program developed by Yamaha and it also has become part of Japanese pop culture with characters such as Hatsune Miku becoming extremely popular. If you want to share Vocaloid experience or post a Vocaloid video here then feel free to.

Hahaha, I haven't listened to much vocaloid, but I inevitably will in the future knowing my obsessive otaku girlfriend who talks about anime stuff all the time which to me sounds like gibberish. Hahaha, what I've heard sounds quite cool and querky.

I can't believe out of all people YOU'D be making this thread. I LOVE Vocaloid. It's like 60% all I listen to lately. I love a lot of Vocaloid songs, with Matryoshka. (The song Spitfire posted.)

Here are some of my favorites.

You should learn about Japanese pop culture. It's a very interesting subject actually.

Can someone explain to me why this is popular? I'm not bashing on it...I am just very curious as to why this is such a big deal for a lot of people.

Well... I like looking at the artwork and the music style is appealing to me.

Think of it as a counterpart to Touhou, essentially. Except instead of being part of a video game, they are a virtual software program that can be programmed to sing. It's quite fascinating. Give some of the songs in here a listen and see if they're your thing.

Curses.. Zach already posted World is Mine.. That's the go-to Tsundere Vocaloid song. What am I going to do now? xD

But I also like Vocaloid songs. Some of my personal favorites include:

"Is Vocaloid an anime?"
"No Patrick. Vocaloid is not an anime."

"Touhou is not an anime either." http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5mzh1ZURY1qchwobo1_500.png

I love Vocaloid! I raved to "World is Mine" last year at Otakon. It was sweet.

I'm not too much into Vocaloid, but I have found a couple of Hatsune Miku songs that I like, like "her" rendition of Uninstall (Bokurano OP) which is pretty creepy and nice :3

Bad Spitty, Vocaloid isn't an anime...

Anyway, I only use Vocaloid to troll my friends with the weird songs (Triple Baka, etc.). Wouldn't call myself a huge fan yet, but I need to listen to it more.

I love Vocaloid. My favorite would have to be Gakupo! I love how Vocaloid fans have post them singing the song in English!

For example: http://youtu.be/aa-ky-9NHTg

I don't really listen to many Vocaloid songs, but it's definitely cute and quite entertaining.

Silly boy, many Vocaloid PVs have animations in them, most of which were made in Japan, which classify them as anime.
