meiko is in a weird spot where she’s known by everyone who has basic vocaloid knowledge, but not appreciated by most. so people who love unpopular vocaloids don’t associate with her bc she’s too popular, but people who mainly like popular don’t associate with her either.
my favorite thing about kaito and meiko is the way they persisted as unique vocals and personalities even through the explosion of character vocal series which wasn’t even a concept in their time of vocaloid 1 ❤️💙
My window figures came and i noticed something cool! Kaito’s screen says 「 MEIKOさんがログインしました。」 and Meiko’s says 「KAITOさんがログインしました。」 (“Meiko has logged in/Kaito has logged in”) it’s too cute 😭😭
It appears that Maika’s Vocaloid 3 physical has been officially discontinued… I was supposed to get it a little while ago, but… i am very sad about this 😭 The trial download is also gone. i checked again because i remembered the company acquisition…
the amount of OSTER project disrespect i see from a few (usually young) prsk players is insane 😭 cant believe so many people would publicly say things like that about their own mother. i doubt they know just how much she shaped the vsynth scene as it has been for over a decade.
i’m gonna say it. i don’t like this meiko illustration. 😭 primarily, i don’t like when people use it to represent her outside of the context of proseka. it doesn’t feel like it captures her character in full, but i can still appreciate it as a separate entity.
🧵okay. i hope i don’t forget anything, but these are my highlights. i think some of these are more “uncommon” than rare but i will start with my Matcha and Azuki / Project575 collection!
looking at the sakura no ame art by ixima. is meiko the teacher? why is she so sexy? i wouldn’t last a day in vocaloid school. oh my god. i would not learn a single thing.
hyperfixating on vocaloid as a program is kind of crazy because why did i have a dream this guy was being racist to me but i was too busy fixing his tuning to notice
if you're sad this is a sign to draw your two biggest comfort characters as the steven meme. yeah my ocs my comfort character. yeah my ooak lagoonas my comfort character.
vent- i’m really sad bc of the increase amount of meiko hate i see today. people are willing to say anything when they have no idea about the loving community surrounding her and it hurts a lot when she is being bullied by everyone else. it’s not hard to just be kind regardless.
some english speakers have remarkably poor attitude towards english voicebanks recorded by non-native english vocalists. it’s one of those forms of vsynth elitism that’s super offputting because of how widespread it is. it scares people away from wanting to make english vocals 😕
everyone hates vocaloid 5 but when their favorite producer uses it to its full potential it’s suddenly “HOW DID THEY MAKE HER SOUND LIKE THAT 🤯” oh wouldn’t you like to know /lh
KAITO plugged into my Tsumiki “Phony” cover sequence ft. Meiko. I want to share a lot of Kaito plug and play of my covers because he sounds so cool 😭🙏🏻💙 He takes my tuning style very well.
i’m like actually going to cry i feel betrayed that i never knew oster project released a version of happy hour with l haigou meiko, naoto fuuga, and yuu asakawa. it’s so cute. also the art itself is enough to kill me 🥹🥹🥹 i love them
i need wonderlands x showtime Amazing Dolce cover so bad okay i know it’s improbable but Meiko literally says “IT’S SHOWTIME” okay you have to understand right i can literally hear them singing it in my head
@MonsterGirlENV
i totally agree, i feel like in project sekai they’re too scared to make the vocaloids look too different from the standard designs and it does hold them back sometimes 🥲
so basically i see her as the bridge between underrated and popular. she’s like the go-to when people think underrated, so i like to think she’s a representative for her underrepresented vocaloid kin
whenever i take lily nui to go out, i always put her in a protective case because she’s rare 😭😭 i cannot allow anything bad to happen to her, but she must see the world with me. don’t worry, if i am in a safe space (such as meiko’s arms) she can come out.
i know it’s annoying to keep beating a dead horse (NT) but Megurine Luka nt literally sounds like Luka’s vocal cords are trapped inside of Miku’s body and filtering through the rest of what makes a voice sound like itself. like an eldritch scene of horror
i love how close Meiko and Luka became, despite being from different generations and Kaito/Meiko being separated from the CVs in general, they still found their way to each other (official media depictions, their voice providers being close and making meiluka references/jokes…)
One of my early memories in childhood: I would spend a lot of time in Meiko’s room in project diva. I poked Meiko’s boobs for a minute straight and my older sister yelled at me and took the controller
who is your favorite mature-womanloid !? they seem to always do the worst of their respective companies (for obvious unfortunate reasons), so i would like to see some loving for them teehee
like the way they have such distinct unique voices despite not necessarily being “voice acted”, as well as having signature character designs that stuck even though the art on the box was simply a visual graphic concept and nothing more…
「ソレム」by Twinfield !! I finally listened to the song and immediately I started to cover it with Meiko… i realized the tracks colors looks bisexual 🧐 anyway the original song uses Kasane Teto SV and it’s so good listen to it ‼️
similarly, the worst type song comment: “I’m not a fan of Meiko, I actually srsly hate her but this song is so good 😍” LIKE ??? CONGRATULATIONS ??? 😭 why is it so common for people to say this… they just HAVE to assert that to clear their name… you’d think she’s killed people
vocaloid fans always gotta tell u they hate a song in the most who asked way like “fun fact i hate bring it on” “did you know i hate world is mine” ok????😭😭good for u nobody gaf
people need to stop acting like project sekai is the only thing that ruined Kaito’s “silly guy” image as if these two alone haven’t been terrorizing marriages for the last decade
they’re so old i love them sorry i was thinking about all this because i was thinking about how kaito’s voice is unmistakably kaito 😭 people will hate on kaito and meiko’s voices for being “ugly” or “weird” but you’re definitely not gonna be able to substitute them.
when people talk about their designs being boring or weird, they’re probably not considering the fact that they’ve stayed true to those almost “accidental” designs for almost 20 years now. of course they’re not the hatsune miku of character design…but all things considered…?!?!
meiko cutouts that show parts you cant see in the actual cards
project sekai card cutouts are a really random thing i appreciate a lot because they show local color (color of the subject unaffected by environmental lighting or filters) idk it’s just a little cool
@LNsynth_
my favorite personal crazy ass vocaloid moment was when we were just becoming friends and we met up for recess to draw megurine luka together. that moment is ingrained in my mind because i knew i met my soulmate
For MEIKO Day, I have made a new cover for Meiko featuring Megurine Luka and Gumi!
It is of the Beauty/Elegant Medley, from Project Diva X!
#5
月5日はMEIKOの日
additionally, i love her range of style, with Meiko as a super sexy baddie in piano x forte x scandal compared to Mikurin in Summer Idol as tiny cute gay failures!!! so versatile.
Here are all the Meiko and Vocaloid CDs I got recently! I’m very grateful to the artists that had them available! I was also able to get some childhood albums secondhand 😭🙏🏻 I have been listening to them gradually, I love them all!
wip preview of a cover, MEIKO in フォニイ/phony by tsumiki. there is a lot i must work on, but if i post a preview, i will feel more motivation to finish the video. this cover will feature a vocaloid i haven’t used before 😳
