VOCALOID: Respecting the Individual

I don’t know how many of you know, but today Vocaloid English-subbing channel Hazuki no Yume announced semi-retirement from the Vocaloid subbing community. For months, Hazuki no Yume has been a primary source of Vocaloid content for me. They discussed several reasons for this decision (a decision that brings me much sadness, but one that I understand and respect), but I will focus on only one with this post. And that is the improper, incomplete, or entire absence of proper source citation. 

The Vocaloid community is massive, and consists of hundreds upon hundreds of creators worldwide who work hard every day to bring us content. It’s 2017, a whole decade after Hatsune Miku’s release (not the first Vocaloid by any means, but certainly the initiating event that rocketed Vocaloid to the levels it exists at today) and the community has grown and developed substantially. There are more Vocaloid songs now than ever before, and counting as each day passes.

It’s also worth explaining how truly unique Vocaloid is. it differs from most “fandoms” on many levels, most notably the fact that 1. it extends across an extraordinary array of media and art forms, and 2. that all its content is user-generated. Vocaloid can appear in music, games, anime, comics, books, even in the real world in advertisements alongside real-world celebrities such as Lady Gaga and Scarlett Johansson. However, this expansion has also resulted in much ambiguity about what exactly Vocaloid IS. Is it an anime show? Video game? Musical artist? Pop star(s)? All and none, yes and no. It’s hard to explain that Vocaloid is really just a voice synthesizing software at its core without arousing more confusion and questions. Point is, while Vocaloid is expansive, very few people (fans AND non-fans alike) have a good understanding of WHAT exactly it is and HOW it works. (A good term I’ve found to describe Vocaloid’s existence is “remix culture,” although you can research that on your own time.)

Vocaloid songs and PVs are derivative creative works produced by individual artists. The songs we know and have grown to love were not handed down to us by some huge corporation or single superior entity, but handed to us by individuals. Producers. Fans. People, just like you and me. This Vocaloid “phenomenon” (a word I use out of its acknowledged ambiguity) is a creative framework that allows and encourages an exceptional amount of artistic freedom not seen in most other “fandoms” or whatnot. It mirrors and amplifies the individuals that make up its community. It is a platform for individual expression and empowerment. In Vocaloid, the individual has the power to learn, develop, share, appreciate, change, express…THIS is what Vocaloid is about. The creative power of the individual.

Have you ever noticed that fandoms tend to die down and stop trending when source content stops being provided or is slowed (by author hiatus, for example)? The life of a fan community that revolves around a franchise mainly holds the power to expand, developed, proliferate, and prosper in the presence of continuous source material. In the Vocaloid community, this source material exists in the form of the songs we listen to and the PVs we watch. User-generated content. If individuals cease to produce work, then the “bottom-up” Vocaloid community falls apart. Which means that if we still want songs to listen to the PVs to watch, then we need to treat Vocaloid content producers with respect as artists, fellow Vocaloid fans, and human beings.

And this means properly citing producers’ work. Learn the names of producers. Link to their official uploads. Share their work and say their names. If a producer has specific usage policies, abide by them. Give them respect. The song World Is Mine isn’t a “Hatsune Miku song.” It was a song written, composed, and produced by a man named Ryo. You wouldn’t give the artistic credit of Für Elise to “Piano,” you’d give it to Ludwig von Beethoven. The more names you know, not only are you being more respectful, but you’ll also find more music! It’s a win-win situation.

So please, understand the position of the artist and individual in the Vocaloid community. Always give credit where it’s due. Celebrate the art, but also celebrate the brilliant person behind it. Crypton Future Media’s page on Hatsune Miku describes her as a “collaboratively constructed cyber celebrity with a growing user community.” They use phrases such as “global icon” and “worldwide creative community.” The role if the individual creator is one necessary to Vocaloid’s success. Give these creators the attention, appreciation, credit, and representation that they deserve. Cite your sources.

ユートピアシンドローム

VOCALOID’s place in the music industry is actually kinda interesting. It’s not like there’s any single set genre for it; VOCALOID music encompasses all genres. There’s no permanently set number of songs, albums, artists, singers, instruments………when it comes to VOCALOID, it’s legitimately “anything and everything.” You could probably go your entire life willingly listening to nothing but VOCALOID music and never get tired of it. If you got tired of one genre, find another producer and listen to their music, If you got tired of listening to Hatsune Miku’s voice, find another VOCALOID or UTAUloid and listen to their music. Of course, there are more popular genres and more popular producers and that popularity works its way up to the tip of the VOCALOID iceberg so even people outside of the community see/hear it and it forms the “first impression” most people get about it: generally happy, upbeat, techno-pop sounding music. I remember sneaking a couple dozen VOCALOID songs into my dormitory’s music playlist and I was gone for class for awhile, but when I came back, everyone had heard quite a few VOCALOID songs and the first response I got was, “it sounded amazing! i had no idea VOCALOID music could sound like that. it wasn’t what i expected at all.” and i got the lightest feeling of ecstatic joy in my heart i’ve ever felt in my life. somewhere, SOMEWHERE in the entire vast endlessly-stretching cloud of creation that is VOCALOID, i believe there is something for everyone. VOCALOID has a little bit of everything; VOCALOID has something for everyone.
