【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.


(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.: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,

OOTD: Safety Pin Style


I wanted to wear something comfy that day. Too bad all my comfy clothes look like PJs. Oh wait, they pretty much are. (lol)

I had an extra large sweat shirt (way too big for me), that I tightened the sides width by using safety pins. Yeah, lame.

Tried to play it off by making it look like I’m going for a ”punk” remake look. Did it work?




Paired the sweat shirt off with some knee high socks, which I think actually made the outfit.


I thought it looked kinda cute/cool enough, so took some camho shots.
Time for some awkward poses!











Artsy enough?




Well, that’s all for now.

Until next time,
ばいばい~

北溪廟

しゃしんのダイアリー/Photo diary:

今年も北溪廟に行きました。 セバスチャンのパーティーの日のあとで、いきました。
だから、あのあさ、ちょっとねむかったです。

Went to Bok Kai Temple again this year. It was the day after the reg egg party, so I was a little tired.












今年びょうの中でしゃしんをとりました。
Got some photos of inside the temple this time.












このしゃしんが好き14
This is my favourite photo below.


ふるいランタンがきれいですねぇ?


びょうのうしろはこれ・・・
Behind the temple








・・・あまりおもしろいじゃありませんですけどね。
Not much is there, huh?





あの日でおてんきはいいでした。:26::85:
ピックニックにさいてきです。thmisc-1
The weather that day was really nice, perfect for an outdoor picnic.
