5 vocaloid songs of the week 3
5 vocaloid songs of the week 3
Remember when I said I wanted to try to be on schedule? Anyways I'm taking songs from my shuffle again
1: Hachi - Dune
To put it simply: I like his older stuff more. He's become become a bit too J-Poppy for my tastes, especially after shifting away from Vocaloid with this song being his goodbye song to the community. I still like it, but seeing it as a sign of what's become of him kind of sours my opinion of it a little bit. Getting picked up by Sony didn't do any good for him in terms of creativity. I don't blame him for it, though. Evidently, it worked out for him, and most of his new fans probably don't even know that he used to do Vocaloid stuff.
Syudou on the other hand is an artist who still does Vocaloid music along with his own singing, and in my opinion he does both exceptionally well. The dark, more muted tuning he uses for Miku really suites his style, even though it's the same style he uses for his own loud, crazy singing. This song is from his first Album, but he's been doing music since long before then and it's already pretty refined by this point.
Iconic. Not as popular as Rolling Girl, but just as good in my opinion. I didn't get into Vocaloid until after his death, but I still get sad whenever I hear his music. One of the greatest J-Rock artists of all time. Nothing more to say. Simply amazing.
Maretu's more known for his metal stuff, but this is pretty good too. Not one of my favourite artists, but pretty far up my list. I don't listen to him a lot so I can't really say much here. I find the verses pretty cute (although the lyrics are probably pretty edgy, but I'm too lazy to look that up rn) and the refrain is pretty catchy. I also really like his drums.
Pretty good. Not an artist I consciously listen to a lot, but his work is pretty decent across the board. The instrumental is pretty funky, which is something I really like, but I find the tuning of Miku a bit dull, though I don't really know why it bothers me with this one even though there a a lot of other songs with similar tuning from other artist among my favourites.
Anyways, that's it for today. Not much to say here, but that has less to do with the songs I got and more with the fact that I'm bad at describing music. Here's my Youtube playlist btw if anyone's interested in that. It's mostly reflective of my taste, but I also put in quite a few filler songs and some iconic songs more because they were iconic than because I liked them. I think I'll continue just choosing songs from the shuffle going forward as this makes me have to think less.
