Vocaloid is a voice synthesizing application that has been around since 2004. Since then, the software has been used for commercials, songs, and much more. Ever since it was sold to the public. Over a million people have used the software for either their own or work related project. The software consist of many different vowels in any given language ,thus giving any user the ability to create any or all kinds of songs. From Hip Hop to EDM, metal to classical slow music. Originally in English and Japanese. Vocaloid has stretched out to several different languages. All current languages that have been used to so far are Japanese, English, Korean, Spanish, Chinese, and Catalan.
As English and Japanese were the original languages for the first vocaloids. For English, the very first vocaloids are known as Leon, lola, and Miriam. For Japanese, Meiko and Kaito being the first from Japan. Now people can borrow a voice that was created through the computer. It allowed the software to be familiarize with both people and producers. Soon enough the software became widely popular especially on the internet. One Vocaloid became so popular. That she even left a big mark in the United States and the rest of the world. That vocaloid is called “Hatsune Miku”. Like many other vocaloids that were created before and after. Since Miku is so popular, she was given a holiday for her in Japan. It is on March 9th and the holiday last for two weeks.
For the software vocaloid. The way the software works, to put it in a simple way, is typing in the lyrics. You can also create a melody from this software. Many different companies and groups have used vocaloid for their own purposes. Many such groups are TOYSFACTORYJP, kz livetune, Mitchie M, and many more. On August 22, 2009, vocaloids had the first chance to be in their very first live concert. For the first time people were able to go to a concert for their favorite idol that came from a computer. Now people can go to a concert that doesn’t have a real singer ,but a hologram displayed in a 3d view. Creating the life like moments we see when we see them on stage. However, the one thing that is still human are the crew who perform the instrumental music for the song. With the advancement we see with vocaloid. The far future we thought was out of reach seems to be closer than we think. As the software improves over time. Time how far vocaloid will go and how much more of an impact will it have on are our society. Also how far in the future will the software vocaloid make us go?
