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?

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.
(another demo song feat. YV1)
Since I went on a VY2 song listening spree, I’ve noticed vocaloid songs are sometimes pretty deep...
...but others are just plain silly.

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

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
