This time, a little different. These new Vocaloids are named Bruno and Clara and, as the blog title says, they are Spanish. Now, I don't really know Spanish myself so I can't comment on their voices. /Sad face. Some English Vocaloid users have said that the voice isn't too clear. But Spanish speaking music artists and fans have said that the pronunciation is understandable!
I hope that means some good Spanish music coming soon!
But let's move onto their design. There have been some complaints to the character design because it's not in the well-known manga style Vocaloids tend to be. In my opinion, it reminds me of those cheap 'High School LOL' games you can get on your Apple/Android device or maybe on of those games set in High School about getting the right guy and all that.
You can see a photo of them right here, to the... the left!
I don't really know about them too much to out a little folder fact thingy. However, more information on the art work, the art style is to focus on the retrospective European art style. I can see it, faintly.
But, I'm rather disappointed now, they've got a fan art competition going on about who can make the best design for them my angry/sad manga/anime fans.
I'm a manga and anime fan and I'm fine with it. I'd like to see some music videos with this art style in it! Like with streets and homeless people in the background while a colourful Bruno or Clara comes in.. Yeah, I'd love to see what people come up with for the style. If there's one dedicated music artist out there I'd love for them to use the style they've been given, not to make their own up.
It's called being an all-round artist. Be one.
-- Since the Spanish Vocaloids are quite new I may have to write another blog about the updates, new information (I may just throw it on here) and the new art. --
If you'd like to listen to what I heard of them then click these really super magic fun sparkle-sparkle links! (...The hell?)
The pictures keep changing.. One second she's a mature-looking girl then she's a young playful person then she's a vampire then she's a chibi. Heh.
So this is the first demo of someone actually using the software to make this song with her! The song is a light hearted fast paced piece of music about... Running and Jumping! Yeah, because I can explain things.
The song shows of a louder more sweeter use of her voice which, when buying the software, you YOURSELF will be able to use this! It has a tencho beat to the backing and sounds a little drony, but it still fits.
You can still hear the robot features of her voice as in when she stutters with the words and it sounds a little choppy, but that's not a complaint. I love knowing that they're still computer softwares.
Thinking about it... Wouldn't it be nice to see a SeeU concert. And I don't mean the horrible new way they've started to do it, I mean when it had the see-though backing so they looked more real.
Any Shugo Chara fans reading this? Don't you think her hair is like Rima's? It's just the first thing I notice about her! Ha-ha, anyway, I think the song is nice and, as this is one of her singing styles, I'll love to see more like it!
Oh, and look what I found on the Vocaloid SeeU wiki page...
Her cat ears/nekomimi are speakers
Her neckband is a CD player
Sound waves light up on the rectangle at her flat-shoes
There's a pause button at the back of her clothes
There's a power button at the ribbon on her neckband
Hurrah! It's getting closer and closer to the release of Vocaloid 3, which means more song demos!
This is SeeUs 3rd demo, I think I may have missed the 2nd demo or something. Hmm...
I've also seen a lot of people saying things like 'Her english sucks!!' and 'MIKU'S BTTER!2" Well, who cares? I find all of the Vocaloids ot have the songs they suit and the sings they don't suit, I think of none of them as better or worst.
Okay, so this song is showing off SV01 SeeUs Korean and English voices. She doesn't have an English voice bank, keep in mind. But her English is very good I must say, better than the Japanese Vocaloids, but that is because they're Japanese Vocaloids! I'd say her English is just about understandable. But, unless you were reading the subtitles, then you won't really tell it was English.
He first demo (I=Fantasy) had such a different sound, it sounded so mature and what-not, this sounds rather young and light-hearted. I like them both, you know they'll be a lot of songs coming out of them. It's good to be able to tinker with the song lower, but still understand able. I think we've all heard one song which would have been A LOT better if higher.
It's the Korean accent, before anyone starts complaining. You obviously won't understand her that well.
I think the singing sounds a bit like a girly Len, but more light hearted and sweet. I'm not comparing them, it just sounds boyish, but with a large heaping of girl.
So, that's about it. I'm going to go and listen to the 2nd demo and probably tell you about it!
Yes, it's the Megpoid update! I always thought her voice sounded more realistic, apart from that airy background, and I'm glad to see an update.
Here look, the older version and the newer version. Can you tell the difference?
Older...
Newer...
The first one sounds a little more airy and there's that sudden high pitched squeak, with the newer version it all sounds a but more.. together. Her voice sounds more realistic and the song is a great use of her voice.
Well, I'm looking forward to seeing what people can do with the newest version of her voice, I do hope they'll use it correctly.
And yes, I did say correctly. As in the right format. You can use the sound in a punk rock song or you can put it in a droning song just as well as each other.
Well, it's time for another Vocaloid release song!
I'm rather happy about this because this is one out of the two new Vocaloids that fans designed!
So here is the video.
See at the beginning there are those new headphones I talked about last time.
I've got two Demos because the one I showed above was the first I saw. Here's another Ring demo which includes Miku singing.
But on to the song, I was pretty happy about this one because the voice suited her allot, fragile and lost would be my best description. I doubt she will become the new Miku or anything due to the fact that it's not really the feedback you would need for it. People are glad she's out but also due to the fact that her voice can sound a bit airy others might be driven away from her.
Name- Ring Suzune (originally called "Ring Suzunone" (鈴音リング Susunone Ringu; "Bell Sound Ring"). Age- 17 Gender- Female Height- 160cm Weight- 44kg Genre- -Will be filled in when I know- Range- -Filled in when I know- Tempo- -Filled in when I know- Voice- MiKA of Daisy×Daisy Company- Vocaloid Festa (Or Yamaha Corporation, I'm not too sure.)
She originally had Rings over her body hence the name 'Ring'.
Now, like the Kagamine mirror Images, her and Lui are based on right and left. Even thought they don't look alike. My best guess would be that because they are both fan-designed, but then again, maybe not.
Have you heard the new Vocaloid 3 demos? No? Watch... This
That link in particular is the new Korean Vocaloid demo. Her name is CeeU and she has been voiced by Kim Dahi/Tahi (17 year old, she's in the K-pop girl band "Glam"). She's going to have both a Japanese and a Korean voice bank, and English pronunciation will be possible by using the Korean one. The character has apparently been based on tahi and will be "Light hearted and cute". The voice bank will be released this Autumn (Fall if you're American)
So after listening to the demo too many times to count it soon drifted from my mind. Until today when I decide to listen to it, see if I'll know what the subtitling Korean symbols are pronounced (I've been learning Korean)
The first video that came up was
So I, being the excited person I am, clicked on it with a stupidly big grin on my face.
Here is a larger picture, for your viewing pleasure.
Name- SeeU (CV01) Age: 17 Gender- Female Height: 159 cm Weight. 44.5kg Genre: Kpop, Ballad pop Range: C3 ~ C5 Tempo: 60~ 170 BPM Voice- Kim Dahi/Tahi of Glam Company- SBS Artech
Now, hearing the song and looking at a picture of her is quite surprising. For one thing her voice doesn't really fit her... And I'm surprised to see her have cat ears. I would have thought she'd have those new Vocaloid 3 headphones. Or at least I think they're the new headphones. The ones with the bit on piano at each side... of that might have just been one video. (The one above.)
Well, I'm looking forward to when she comes out because then I'll get to hear what these Vocaloid music artists will do to her voice! But I do hope she doesn't become, like, the new Hatsune Miku. Because that wouldn't be original. Also, I hope no pone forgets Miku, with all these new vocaloids coming out Vocalid 2 software would easily be put to shame or would if they weren't getting updates as well! (Also with some Vocaloid 1s but... I'll post about them later.)
La la, website for the new Korean Vocaloid- I mean CeeU can be found by clicking this link. This one right here.
And... That's about it for CeeU.
*Update* This is something new that has been posted on Crunchyroll. Vocaloid 3 will be coming out on the 21st of October, a month later than originally planned
