kagerou days (and specifically the fan PV by wannyanpu) is the song that got me obsessed with the storytelling potential of vocaloid as a whole.
other songs that informed my early vocaloid days: tokyo teddy bear by neru and ievan polkka (the otomania miku ver. was the first vocaloid song i ever heard). i also loved little cry of the abyss by Sasakure.uk, which i didn't know was by a vocaloid producer.
16. favorite music video
i've given a lot of answers for this, and i try to give different ones each time! here's three current faves. putting answers under the cut bc i'm embedding the videos lol
Spoken For by Flavor Foley (illus. Lone)
the lyrics combined with the visuals are just a perfect storm of listless depression and an agonizing cry for help.
Konoha's World Situation by Jin (illus. Sidu and Wannyanpu)
speaking of kagepro, another one of the project songs that i love both for the song and the amazing video. seriously, the way the rhythm matches up with the animation is so addicting.
Funny Insipid Candy Vendor by Nilfruits (illus. Yasutatsu)
what more can i say? favorite producer + favorite illustrator = man i love this video. the details are everything and i get more from each rewatch. plus, you gotta love how vivid and stylized the illustrations are for this song about AI art and commodification.
It is once again time to group the remaining songs in the tournament into a single poll. There are 6 songs here, but only 4 move on to the semifinals. For reference, below is a playlist of those 6 songs.
Please reblog for a bigger sample size!
Which of these songs from Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA (2009) is the best?
Electric Angel by Yasuo
Melt by ryo (supercell)
The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku by cosMo@bousou-P
I'm watching Amon's side story in Lullaby of Demonia and why tf is the MC just sucking ass rn. Like "I wonder if he can still get redeemed?" Girl, he literally SAed you. Not to mention, he killed thousands of other innocent people, including his dad.
And look, I know Lucifer is far from being the best father as they discussed a tad bit of Lucifer's favouritism with Alastor because he was spurred out of Lucifer's one and true love, Rosaria, and the rest of his wives are just ignored. But like, the rest of his brothers turned out fine despite having gone through the same conditions (relatively, Valec did still bad shit but did turn away from it and Ifrit just constantly slept with succubi and drank all day before meeting MC). I doubt it's solely Luci's fault and Amon's personality is still bad, especially considering the other brothers still find him killing Luci just straight-up revolting and they still respect their dad. I think Lucifer would've just had favouritism and negligence (more or less) to any child who wasn't Alastor which I doubt is enough to do what Amon did.
Your other brothers went through the same shit you did, stop trying to pin the blame on your father for your bad behaviour when you could've used your brothers to actually console each other and have a group that completely understands your situation and use that as a support group. You're literally the third-born, you definitely had Malthus to talk to.

So like, does the Otomania/Genius Inc. community exist or is everyone in hiding because they’re embarrassed about how much money they spent on diamonds to kiss the pretty characters?
Please I need people to talk to about this obsession! 😭😭😭

[Image description: A screenshot from the official music video for "Ievan Polka". It depicts a chibi Hatsune Miku character called Hachune Miku holding a leek in her right hand with a shocked simply-drawn look on her face. The background is akin to Miku's VOCALOID 2 box design, with it being light blue and overlayed with faint white lineart of Hachune Miku. Overlayed is the logo for Hatsune Miku. At the bottom of the image is a thick gray line, with white text that reads "VOCALOID 2". End image description.]
