Queer Vocaloid Song Tournament: Side C, Round 1

Please listen to all songs before voting!

Abnormality Dancin' Girl by guchiry feat. v flower

VS

Akatsuki Arrival by Last Note feat. Hatsune Miku, Megurine Luka

Propaganda under the cut!

ABNORMALITY DANCIN' GIRL

"TOXIC YURI IS GOOD YURI "

"It's got a theme of butterflies. Like. Obviously it's a trans allegory, it's got an amazing ccolor scheme too (purple and blue are wonderful colors tbh frfr)"

"uhhh well maybe i'm stretching here but tame mene the main character of the song has a giant crush on miya nanamiya (another girl) so yeah i just love this so much"

AKATSUKI ARRIVAL

"When Magnet wasn't carrying Miku X Luka, this song was. Miku and Luka being rivals, only to realize that they only loved what they did when their rival was there with them. This is the Rivals to Lovers song. // Rivals to lovers. Doomed yuri. This song rewired my brain chemistry I love them so much"

"Two rivals whose worlds revolve around one another and for whom living without each other is difficult: what's more queer than that? Plus the MV from Project Diva is literally what got me into Vocaloid so I can safely say. Peak."

I have a theory, very unoriginal but I just want to yap

I feel like part of the reason Kady is such a nothing sandwich of a character is because she didn’t exist in the books.

(Loooong rant that’s kinda aimless but idc I want to talk)

(Hot take I know!!! I’m sure no one’s every thought of this one)

And I know that a lot of the characters are very different from their book counterparts in a lot of ways, but the groundwork was there! The idea of the character, the foundation, had already been written.

Whereas with Kady, I feel like they just threw her in and then… and then what? Sure she’s like, a “bad girl” character… with a… semi-angsty backstory? And sheee’s… dating Penny… and she hasssss mommy issuuues…??? But where do you even go from there? They literally throw her away for like a whole season just because, well, what is there to do with her?

She wasn’t even there for most major season 1 and early season 2 plot points! Then she’s kind of relevant in mid to late season 2, and then in season 3 she disappears again and when she returns her whole plot is centred around penny.

And THEN in season 4 I guess she’s doing… hedge stuff? Where they try to give her agency and make her #empowered but it’s just… weird

Because everyone else is dealing with a body hopping unkillable monster in Eliot’s body, and Kady just… fucks off??? I guess??? I mean she’s doing stuff with the library for a bit but like… why??? I get why she wants to fuck them over but also where did that come from

Like why is she not helping defeat the god monster. That seems like a pretty major issue that she should be more involved with.

I understand that her stuff with the library does ultimately help, but it really did feel like it was just a way to wedge her into the plot somehow. Also, we’re not even talking about season 5. Let’s not open that can of worms.

Idk I guess it just never really feels like… she’s part of the group? She kind of hangs out around the edges, and she’s close with Penny and Julia but other than that kind of just hangs around

Because… she WASNT IN THE BOOK!!! She didn’t exist!!! She wasn’t Julia’s hedge buddy, or Penny’s girlfriend, or anything! “Amanda Orloff” in the books, (who I’m guessing was her vague template??) is the first character to get killed. First beats encounter. She’s meant to be like, an example of “magic is dangerous”. That is her role.

Originally the group dynamic wasn’t WRITTEN to have her in it! So they were winging it.

Most of the other major character plot lines were based in something, but hers just kind of had to be pulled out of thin air- and it feels very strange

I found myself at several points in her story going “Why is she in this show?”

And it feels very, VERY jarring when she is then the person to… choose the song that is QUENTIN’S MEMORIAL?

They spoke like maybe twice. I feel like, I don’t know, ANYONE else in that group should’ve chosen

I love the Take On Me number though it’s literally my Roman Empire

All this to say, I have empathy for how hard it would be to wedge a new major character into an already very established group dynamic, but then… why did they do it…

Heralding back from 2014, Romantic Hero by Last Note ft. My first UTAUloid :) this was not his first voicebank, far from it, although it was the first one I started experimenting with pitches! The construction of this bank was uh... Definitely something ! If I recall correctly, I had recorded and fully OTOd the base VCV and as I used him for a few songs, I wanted a stronger tone to add to the voice. So a while later, I recorded the "power" tone and added ^ as a suffix to add to whatever note I wanted to register in that tone. Keep in mind, this was the first time I really did something to this extent, so I didn't really understand that I should keep my voice in a similar tone, since the two segments of this voicebank ended up sounding so far from each other hahaha. The base VCV was my normal recording voice, whereas the power VCV ended up sounding damn near like a completely different UTAUloid ^^; Then on top of that, I recorded *another* pitch, higher than the other two, but this time only the vowels! The way I would use it in a song was to cut off whatever syllable down to like a 1/16 or 1/32 note then replace the duration of the vowel with the "power vowel"; looking back, that's actually very similar to how Crypton pulls off their EVEC feature! The problem with my recordings, however, was I used to record all of my voicebanks in my kitchen (where we had the family computer). It worked okay for normal tone voicebanks, but the higher/louder I got, the more the echo and room noise got emphasized. So these "power vowels" ended up having so much reverb and room noise in them, translated through UTAU's engine noise, made for a very unpleasant sound to listen to hehe. Either way, this cover was so fun to do and it was the first time I really started playing around with abusing the vibrato function to simulate growl :)

"The fact that u are reading this must be because i have already reached heaven....you must be amazed to see the 'me' in those photos that you have surfed in this phone when u took the gallery...and i am pretty sure that this must be the last photo which i left for you if u ever surf through this phone after my retire from this world...the 'me' you are seeing in this phone ain't fake its the real one.And the one who was before you ...was the one you made me into.Marrying you with great expectations was my fault....thought i could change you if i loved u enough was also my fault...thinking that you would lean on me when u feel tired was also my fault...reaching you out my hands even when i know you won't take it was also my fault....thinking that you would try to love me one day just like i am trying to love you was also my fault. I know u will miss me...cuz u never realised that i have become a salient part of your life..u just think everything is happening like the arrival of day and night.You never stops to think what if one day the sun or moon doesn't come out...by the time u realise it, you will be crying ...just like how you are crying now while reading this....."

I don’t hate you. I never could hate anyone or anything. Oh honey, I learned to stop hating people ever since they started hating me. I couldn’t bring myself to hold a grudge against you anymore. I’ve always been naive about certain aspects of people, never fully understanding myself, but I get why people are upset with me, why you wouldn’t want to see me like this. I know you care. I know you do. A lot of people care. A lot of people actually show me love. Special people. It’s just me. I’m a problem for you, a problem maybe beyond fixing. And I’m a horrible person. The countless apologies I give mean nothing because I always find a way to destroy and ruin what we rebuild over and over again. I see you crying over the mess I always cause, and who wouldn’t say that I hate them or that you hate me? But I don’t know why I do it. I don’t know why I don’t stop. I just keep doing it. And that’s where I lose myself in so many situations. That’s why I’m always a problem for people. I hate that sentence, but it’s hypocritical of me to say because I say it as well. I think I found the reason. I met a lovely person. At first, we were mostly strangers and friends, but then I slowly became so much closer to them and felt deeply in love. We got together, which was a happy opening for me in life. But you know what? I couldn’t just love them because I was so much more obsessed with hating myself on a daily basis. Hating myself, my ego, and God forbid I take a chance at the opportunity of being able to make it and love properly. It was more about hating myself than anything else. And I love her so very much. I love her, but I just ruined myself for her because I loved hating myself more than I loved her. And it hurts. Because you love people. You love them so much, and it makes it worse for you because you are so selfish in hating yourself that you can’t see the people who really care trying to reach out to you. But life doesn’t let me see that every single time. And that’s why I have a falling out with my friends and family and the people who really love me. I wish I could say sorry, but I’ve already sinned too much to just say sorry again and again. But I hope you know that I love you. I love you so very much, so deeply in my heart. You deserve everything, and I try to give you it all. I try to make you feel rewarded. I’m really trying. I say it every time because I hope that I can make you feel good all the time. I’m just trying. I hope I can make it. I love you.
