White Hair and Trauma Brawl Round 1; Poll 70

remember, voting is based on swag, trauma, and favoritism!!

trauma and propaganda under the cut!

Trauma! 

Winter: Uhh it's been years since I read wof give me a second. Brother dead none of his family likes him kind of an outcast of his tribe. Listen I can't remember specifics but I just Know

Piko: SO before Piko even released he was suffering. Basically him and Miki were owned by a company called HEARTFAST and they went bankrupt at just the right time that the two voicebanks had to be given to someone else to be produced and released. Miki was given to AH-Software, and Piko to Ki-oon (owned by Sony)

And thus the siblings were split up

But hey, things happen all the time. Maybe it would get better?...a week before release, Sony released a trial version of him. In tiny print they put that you couldn't post anything with this trial version. People either didn't see this or didn't listen but dude it's a trial version his voice comes out in 7 days, what could go wrong? Well, Sony started taking down the videos. This upset people, naturally, and so some people made the decision to not support the voicebank.

Eventually this finally clears up but *here comes kagamine rin and len with the steel chairs* because 19 days later their append vocals released, roadrollering Piko's poor ass out of the limelight he already was not getting. Now here's the thing-- this happened to Gakupo too (released super soon after Rin and Len act 2) but unlike Sony, Internet Co. Didn't piss off people in the vocaloid fandom first. Oh, and he wasn't the 2nd to last release for the V2 program (a title Piko only got because VY2 had the grace to be delayed several times)

Anyway  after a bit his voicebank does start getting more popular, but there's still a lot of. Issues.

First of all, the only person really putting effort into his marketing is his voice provider (the only merch of him was stuff made because they were making it of his voice provider too, like the cospa graphig and the promotional images for the sakurane album)

AND THEN a song was released with his voicebank in it that his become one of the most INFAMOUS VOCALOID SONGS (sh*ta sh*ta Island* -- search at your own risk, it's. Well it sure exists) and imo it's not even tuned well.

And so that (plus jokes about him being a "trap") became the 1 joke people made about him. For YEARS (this didn't fade out of popularity until around 2021-22ish)

Piko of course gets a giant burst of popularity finally. By now his voice provider has left Ki-oon, so unless another company buys his voicebank there's nil chance he's getting updated out of V2 into the newest vocaloid version or to another synth.

Years pass. Every single V2 vocaloid that wasn't already updated to V3 updates to V4. V5 releases. It is completely incompatible with V2

There are only 6 un-updated V2 voicebanks remaining

Piko is the only Japanese V2 voicebank among them -- the others already announced to have no update intentions.

August 20th 2020

Piko's voicebank is marked sold out on the Sony website

The first un-updated V2 to be marked as sold out

He is free

His voicebank explodes with popularity after this, of course, because the universe really likes being cruel, I guess.

Anyway -- Piko's voicebank (specifically the song My Own // Boku no Mono by Circus-P) was the reason I decided to buy VOCALOID

So I wanted to submit him

(*mod note: im not gonna link shota shota island im not subjecting y'all to that mess)

Propaganda!

Piko: THE KAKYUUKEI COVER OF ABNORMALITY DANCIN' GIRL !!!! Actually just any Kakyuukei cover in general !! His voice is so beautiful and he is also beautiful. You can make him anything you want. He was released for the same program as THE Hatsune Miku

[Winter did not receive propaganda. rip.]

Shadow Milk and Eternal Sugar cookie are besties. They have girl’s night (SM is an honorary girl) and sleep overs. They share the nastiest gossip, do each other’s nails and talk about their partners. They’re watching Heathers: The Musical and Mean Girls.

Pavlova, Candy Apple, and Black Sapphire also hang out. They’re writing fanfics and cyber bullying children.
