【Vocaloid】  VY2 “Yuuma”


(image from Kjbionicle@deviantart)

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m not a huge fan of vocaloids. Although I do think that the vocaloids characters are pretty cute/cool and that the vocaloid product itself is cool, most of the songs I’ve heard just sound too high-pitched and/or robotic.

I guess some people just like the high-pitched voices (even for the male vocaloids), but please spare my ears. The vocaloids also tend to have a pretty obvious synthesized/computerized sound (autotune, much?). But I suppose the computerized sound is just another one of the ’qualities’ that vocaloids fans like.

I’m even sad to say that I truthfully don’t really like Utatane Piko... so cute and extra love since you’re based off of singer Piko, but why people make you sound like a girl? :face47:

Well, despite all that I mentioned above, I’m still interested in the vocaloids and like to browse vocaloid songs from time to time to see if I can find one that I like.

In my most recent search, I was just randomly browsing through Vocaloid Wiki reading about the vocaloids I’m not familiar with. Turns out there’s quite a lot of vocaloids already produced!

I think I have finally found a vocaloid I may say I’m a fan of! That’s VY2 (Vocaloid Yamaha 2) aka Yuuma.

Yuuma doesn’t have an official character design, but this seems to be the most popular fan-created version. I like it too. Cute, ne?

Anyway, Vocaloid wiki states that VY2 is currently the best male vocaloid, so I listened to one of the demo songs:


Wow, I was shocked. Sounds pretty realistic and nice voice! I think lot’s of other VY2 songs sound pretty good too! His voice is very versatile and has large range within different songs.

Since I went on a VY2 song listening spree, I’ve noticed vocaloid songs are sometimes pretty deep...




...but others are just plain silly.:face12:

Not VY2 version (sung by Hatsune Miku), but just wanted to share since this one has the English translation in the video.14



Well, I’m a big fan of VY2, Yuuma-kun, now! I like how he is a realistic sounding vocaloid. Hopefully, he’ll start to gain more popularity soon.

Vocaloid song producers, please use Yuuma-kun for more songs! おねがいします! (・∀・)イイネ!!

And just one more Yuuma song.



That’s all for now,
ばいばい
