While Hatsune Miku is the most well-known Vocaloid and generally considered the most influential and popular, flower may have overtaken her in relevancy in some areas, having the most viewed Vocaloid song on any platform (Goodbye Sengen at over 100 million views) as well as being more relevant according to Google Trends (with Miku having peaked in Google searches in 2012 and flower currently peaking in Google searches in 2023).

vocaloid fun(?) facts: VY2's "i" issue

VY2's original VOCALOID2 voicebank has a small but prominent oddity where the "i" phoneme in his mid/low range includes a mic pop when left to play out. it doesn't happen in his higher range (as it's a different sample all together) or when another phoneme directly follows it, whether in the same note or a separate one.

i love vy2 very much i just have no idea how this managed to get through to the final version. it took me so aback when i first worked with him

a few Big Al and Sweet Ann headcanons cause i'm fixated on the original early versions of these two goobers

Big Al is an undead reincarnation of an Elvis impersonator, and Sweet Ann is the who brought him back from the grave. the man Big Al used to be was somebody Ann was infatuated with, and when faced with the news of his tragic and untimely death, she was absolutely devastated. she couldn't bare to lost the one she loved, so she Frankenstein'd him back to life and gave him another chance with a new identity and show persona.

the reason Big Al's english and singing can sound a bit rough is because he's a reanimated corpse who's kinda relearning how to be a human. undead monsters, depending on how long they had been dead before their reincarnation, typically forget a lot of their previous lives beyond basic human instincts, and thus, when they are reincarnated, they need to learn how to act like the humans around them again. luckily, Ann dug him up pretty quickly after his death, so he still has partial recollection of who he was before his death. his body had been stuck in a casket for a while before his reincarnation, cut him some slack! XD

Sweet Ann is an undead monster like Al, although she seems to be much better at mimicking human behaviours than Al is, as he was only recently reincarnated. she was reincarnated close to a century ago, and in that time, she has built up an impressive career for herself as a singer. almost everything about her background before entering the spotlight is unknown to the public, apart from documentation of a human who looks strikingly similar to Ann who went by the name of "Jodie". Sweet Ann holds many secrets behind that smile that only Al knows.

Ronnie (Big Al's development name) was Al's previous name when he was alive, and it's a pet name Ann calls him. he finds it adorable and endearing.

most of Sweet Ann and Big Al's old demos have a backstory and chronology to them. Sweet Ann's 'How Could I Forget You' VOCALOID 1 demo is a song written from her perspective of Ann having to relearn and try to remember the ones she once loved when she was alive, very shortly after she was reincarnated as a monster. 'Amazing Grace' is what she sung after successfully bringing Big Al back to life, and it was the very first thing he'd heard when he woke up. Sweet Ann and Big Al's 'Make Me Feel' demos take place shortly after Big Al was reincarnated by Ann, with Big Al learning how to feel again and how to sing again. they kinda playing a mellodrama with each other that's partially born out of Sweet Ann's own feelings towards Al. Big Al's 'I Feel Good' demo was recorded when he was drunk lolllol

Now that's Miku Day I feel like I can say this: I'm happy people stopped thinking what Miku can and can't be because of her canon info, and on the contrary realized she can be anything you and others want her to be.

Project Sekai was probably the first "in-your-face" example, as there are present multiple Miku who have different looks and personality.

Another great example of this is Deco*27, not just because Miku has a different look in any of his songs, but also because he created comics where all his Miku interact with each other as separated characters, made two versions of his Miku 3D model and his song Manequin literally showcase what Miku is, an empty vessel everyone can interpret as they want.

And how can we forget the Project VOLTAGE, the official crossover between Miku and Pokémon where all the 18 types got their own Miku who is completely unique and unrelated to the others.

Yes guys what I'm saying is that Miku is Barbie:

Pointless to say this applies to any Vocaloid and other voice synthesizer character, hope this helps.

This is all for now, have a nice rest of your day/night and remember to stay hydrated! 🦓🦄💖💫✨

An alternate version of Nekomura Iroha's VOCALOID2 illustration appears to exist, without the speakers on her arms or the Hello Kitty hood (instead being replaced with the headband from her Kittyler design). This was used to advertise an illustration contest for Iroha's first anniversary, but otherwise seems to be very rare.
