okay did a listen through of it! also noticed some things in erica and karen i didn't notice before

so erica and karen seem to share a theme of killing the past, or killing a lover -- i feel like they're also grief/regret manifested in different ways. erica's grief/regret is more laid bare as sorrow, while karen's manifests as denial -- "cleanup;" trying to erase her own sins and the shadows of her past. (there are some ways this overall theme connects to isekaijoucho's "colors" album, i'd even consider it to be an alternate part of it? like there's 2 listening orders for nerine: erica - karen - nerine, and then nerine in the regular album order.

when it comes to nerine... it's quite sonically different from erica and karen, i don't have the lyrics transcript yet so i'm doing the best i can with my own ears >_< but overall it's more hopeful in tone, and still has similarities to erica/karen. can't give an analysis for nerine yet but i do like the listening order/experience!!!!!!!

i wonder if these songs are connected? 🤔 erica and karen are obvious, but nerine is a tossup...

here's a YT playlist link! might be fun to listen to it in this order

ok so for the 4 of the VIP that have 2 different standing renders

- kafu got taller

- sekai is in a different artstyle

- coko got headphones

- rime got a little hair clip

🤔

[tomedonaki-hakujou]

also rim is just. i've been getting a lot of rim on twitter but i'm not complaining she's very awesome and cool and pretty

i really love the expression of femininity in kamitsubaki's artists, it really resonates with me so much and it's just so dynamic and cool and detailed and not sexualized (if it is, it's 1) mostly koko/asu i think. and 2) mostly tasteful)

kaf especially being super popular and the way her character is presented visually is just so cool...

in my system we all like kamitsubaki for different but similar reasons but. uwaaaa kamitsubaki is just way cool with its portrayal of women & femininity and even with their sapphic/duet art it's so good..... waaaaaaaa (i've always loved the witch/isotope pairings but harujou is invading my mind recently. call awakened something in me with "haru ga kiite / kimi ga iru sekai" (with isekaijoucho and harusaruhi singing those lines respectively.... IT HITS WAAAAAAA))

anyways, don't mind me, i'm just trying to make sense of who i am really, i didn't get much time to do this because the last time i really connected in-depth with my own femininity was when we were uh. fucking 12? and then i changed from the host to the gatekeeper, and i wasn't concerned with outward expression of myself until now. like. i have several years of a self-discovery to catch up on in comparison to the others in my system FUCK

thoughts on synthesizer v kafu. copypasted from twitter but also elaborated on a bit more

things are a bit different between the "initial production of cevio kafu" and "current success of cevio kafu"

kaf is older now, and kafu proved to be a popular success with her own voice who can reach further beyond kaf

at the time, a few years ago, wouldn't have been the right timing for a "kaf 1:1 voicebank" i think, especially with kaf being as young as she was.

but kaf, she's older now, her growth partially attributed to kafu's hit popularity and her other works as well

we know kafu can stand on her own as "kafu" and not just relying on "kaf"

and with kaf's new step into adulthood, so the timing is right for a new kind of "kafu"

even in the 4komas, kafu learns who kaf is, wants to sing better, trains harder for her SV

pied has said that, the beauty of the musical isotopes is the preservation of one's voice at a specific moment in time.

kafu cevio captures kaf's teenhood, kafu SV captures kaf's young adulthood

and that sort of fits thematically into kaf's music as well 🤔

kafu SV is absolutely an older kafu. her proportions are taller, "phony" lyrics use "watashi" instead of "atashi"

the fact kafu SV exists at all is proof of growth as in, one could change their mind, one could be open to new "possibility" after she proved herself

after all, kafu's name represents "possibility + mystery." why wouldn't she be full of possibility? kafu SV continues to embody that sentiment, and even further it by being available to new kinds of people. it's not about how she sounds, it's about the mission of the isotopes

kaf/VWP are undeniably intertwined with vocaloid culture and have their roots in it, and work closely with vocaloPs as well. kafu in the first place was always meant to sing with unrestrained possibilities with all her varying demo songs, showing the spirit of vocaloPs

those possibilities are only furthered now with kafu SV, now that kafu cevio has achieved her mission and succeeded in her own right as a unique vocalist, and continues to thrive

for mac/linux users, english/chinese users... and more. unbound expression. singing anything...

one thing kamitsubaki does on quite a wide scale is engage with the vocaloP community heavily, and encourage small creators and even highlight their works with the isotopes. for me, to be able to be a part of that finally with SV is exciting. i've always loved the isotope community

especially because my music influences are more closely aligned to japanese vocaloP, and musical isotope being the current active Big Thing, being able to engage in that community is something special to me and i trust in the new direction that SV kafu implicates by her existence

another thing, is that kaf's vocal ability has improved considerably in the past few years. a cutesy, uniform, artificial AI is suited to the younger kaf. a realistic, expressive AI is suited to the older kaf who has more singing experience, more power, expression, etc

overall i think there's a lot of meaning behind kafu synthV (and by extension (heh) the voicepeak extensions) on what the isotopes are meant to represent and how they're meant to be used. they've always represented unrestrained creativity and a homage/love letter to vocaloid culture as a whole. synthV and voicepeak only furthers those expressions -- talkloid is pretty big in japan too, so voicepeak lets musical isotope expand into that community, while synthV allows musical isotope to sing in new ways and reaching new people
