#luka miku duet

[voca-song-a-day]

Today's featured song is: "World's End Dancehall" by Wowaka feat. Hatsune Miku & Megurine Luka! (cw: references to suicide)

[catcatb0y]

Honestly though saying (or implying) that vocaloid or vocal synths in general "devalues the human voice" is SUCH an incredibly shit take for SO many reasons.

Like yeah Saki Fujita getting so many other roles in voice acting because of her contribution to Hatsune Miku (the anime cameos and stuff are usually done with her original voice, them modified to be robotic) is a bit of an outlier when most other vocaloid and sythns don't have that influence.

You can even sort of wave off the dozens upon dozens of people who go for realistic tuning- like whenever a synth has any sort of clarity, there are like five people commenting about how real they sound. Clearly people do still care about human sounding vocals, because they go nuts over realistic vtuning.

There are many different aspects of vocaloid that use human voices, too- from Set It Off's duet "Why Do I?", human rap artists using Miku's vocals as background, and the entire CONCEPT of Project Sekai which releases AND COMMISSIONS songs for vocal synths and real people.

But the sheer number of vocaloid producers who use their own vocals as back up (MikitoP, PinoochioP, and I believe Kira off the top of my head), the number of producers who can sing and/or do self covers (again Kira, GIGA, Ayase, Teniwoha, syudou and so many more), and the amount of vocal producers who have gone forward with legit musical careers after working with vocaloid (Kenshi Yonezu, most notably, who did work for years under the alias Hachi)

I mean, hell. There are vocaloid producers who go on to become vocaloid vocals themselves- like nostraightanswer, the vocal provider for DEX, who has made both vocaloid and original songs. Some even duets.

That's not even including creators like JubyPhonic, Rachie, Will Stenson, Lollia, Octavia, Razzy and Co., and SO many other HUMAN cover artists who gained following or honed their skills on none other than vocaloid covers. (And that's just a handful of English Cover artists, not like Sati Akura a Russian cover artist or Ado who has commissioned songs from vocaloid artists)

It's also not including UTAUites who input their own voices to use for covers.

"Devalues the human voice" is such blatant bs. They ARE human voices. They are OUR voices. "You'd think by now that we would have learned, behind every piece if art is a human to be heard." (- CircusP, 'Better Off Worse')

Alien Stage: Vocaloid Edition

Miku VS Luka

Alien Stage: Contestants must sing for their survival, as the loser faces on-the-spot termination.

[dailyenglishvoca]

Today's song is Let's Be Honest by Project Overdoze featuring the Vocaloids Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka

[the-spaced-out-ace]

Of course I’m a lesbian I was obsessed with LUKA of all Vocaloids at age 13 and that’s the gayest one to choose

[cinnabeat]

just a game vbs cover when........

[project-sekai-facts]

With WxS Kaito being released from cover jail, what Unit + Vsinger combos have gone the longest without covers or don't have any?

i did this based on days since introduction, so Niigo Kaito isn't at the top. Bolded means they've got a cover announced but it hasn't released yet so the count is still going. As of today (25th Jan):

WxS KAITO - 1212 days (No cover; starter vsinger for WxS)

VBS Luka - 1074 days (drop pop candy)

MMJ Luka - 920 days (Chikyuu Saigo no Kokuhaku o)

MMJ Len - 898 days (No cover; introduced in Happy Lovely Everyday!)

L/n KAITO - 867 days (No cover; introduced in Knock the Future!!)

VBS Rin - 647 days (PaIII.SENSATION)

WxS Luka - 535 days (Odore Orchestra)

WxS MEIKO - 437 days (Love ka?)

N25 KAITO - 310 days (No cover; introduced in immiscible discord)

L/n Len - 307 days (Attract Light)

N25 MEIKO - 276 days (Inochi Bakkari)

L/n MEIKO - 269 days (Kaisei)

VBS KAITO - 251 days (Shanti)

WxS Len - 227 days (Aa, Subarashiki Nyansei)

L/n Luka - 163 days (Summertime Record)

N25 Len - 150 days (Kokoronashi)

L/n Rin - 115 days (Tengaku)

MMJ Rin - 113 days (Melancholic)

VBS Miku - 111 days (Koi wa Sensou)

MMJ KAITO - 94 days (Akuyaku ni Kiss Scene wo)

WxS Miku - 92 days (Wagamama Hime)

VBS MEIKO - 80 days (Shunran)

N25 Luka - 64 days (Cute na Kanojo)

MMJ Miku - 52 days (Sayonara Princess)

N25 Miku - 31 days (Slow Downer)

VBS Len - 26 days (Kinmokusei)

WxS Rin - 24 days (Kyoufuu All Back)

N25 Rin - 22 days (Envy Baby)

MMJ MEIKO - 20 days (Kuu ni Naru)

L/n Miku - 16 days (Hide and Seek)

Since VBS Rin and Luka's last covers featured duet vsingers, if you want to count single vsinger songs, VBS!Rin has gone 839 days since her last cover (Akuma no Odorikata), and VBS!Luka has gone 1118 days (ECHO). Also if you want to get technical about WxS!MEIKO's Love ka? vocals, then she was introduced 1131 days ago in the On A Holy Night, This Singing Voice event, and doesn't have a cover that doesn't layer vflower over her vocals.

And since the top two on the list are getting covers soon, if you discount them, then MMJ Luka has gone the most time without a cover. MMJ!Len, L/n!KAITO, and N25!KAITO don't have covers yet, but they all have 2 comms.

[murkystarlight]

I've always wondered how people made playlists for characters. Or an entire fandom. Or anything really(I'm horrible at it. Or maybe I just don't know enough songs)

But I did manage to think of songs the new order would sing at karaoke, or just singing skills. I don't actually have songs I think they would sing. But we do have what I wrote down for musical abilities! (This thing was in my drafts for months-)

Jesse

Good at singing. But not very good with rhythms(those darn quick time events don't help!! Arghah)

But like the few songs they've sung their entire lives?? Yeah. The rythm kind of got stuck in their brains. And can keep up to it.

Probably would sing something like... breakup songs, the most. But like, happy break up songs(like.. not happy. But you know.. the 'I broke up with you, but I dont care. You were crap anyways. I'm so out of your league' kind of breakup songs). Why? I thought it'd be funny. Okay? I don't know why-

Olivia

She's a good singer. But she doesn't really like singing in front of crowds. So like.. only with her close friends. But she has a really nice singing voice. Can't reach the really high notes, but manages most of them(even if they're not fully perfect)

I think she would sing more calmer songs.

I think she would know how to play the piano or violin (think she got a good musical ear)(I also thought of her having a dj board thing--)

Axel

He has a loud voice. He covers his weakness of singing with that loud voice. Can't hit a high note? Just scream! Scream the crap out of your throat. But his neck is fine. He screams often, and it takes more than just 'screaming to get a high note' to damage his throat. So he can hit the high notes... well, it does the job. He can get the high notes done. And speaking of high notes, he would sing Hatsune Miku a lot(I- don't know why😃)

If he was to play an instrument I'd say something like.. the drums?

Petra

She doesn't really sing. But she isn't horrible at it. Maybe with practice she'll be better? But when she does sing, she sticks to the easy ones. If there is a high note in the song, she'll just skip that part. Just- everything goes quiet all of a sudden. When the high note part ends, she starts singing again.

She sings anything as long as she knows the song(and likes it) and if it's not something too cheesy(either she doesn't like it, or she just has a big ego).

And for instruments(which.. I apparently also started writing down in this post), drums and guitar/base?

Lukas

I think. He would be able to hit high notes. Like.. really high ones. But the problem is, he can only do it in one song. Or the next day he won't be able to speak. He also has to take care of his throat before and after the song.

Think he would sing jazz for some reason. I have- no idea why. Or country. With a guitar maybe(I'm really just throwing things out there at this point). And maybe K-pop. Cause... I like that theory(also the reason why he can do high notes?)

Instruments; guitar. Maybe piano?

So, from here. I guess... dynamics?

After a while, Olivia, Axel and Lukas has to sit down and catch their breath(Olivia and Lukas mostly because they're tired, low energy. And Axel.. he can still go on. But he gets pulled down since he keeps trying to hit the high notes by screaming) So that leaves Petra having to deal with Jesse. Jesse wants to sing. While Petra... she's kind of tired of it by now.

Jesse likes singing duets(or more people) together. So everyone sings a duet with Jesse at least once if they go karaoke together.

Axel(most of the time) doesn't actually know the Japanese lyrics when he sings Miku. He just copies whatever he heard or sees on screen.

Lukas, actually knows the lyrics to the K-pop he sings. He reads books and stuff(yh. That's not a very good reason. Is it..). If he does like K-pop, he would've tried learning it. Other than that, I think he would know a lot of different languages. Even not fully. But know some words and phrases

Jesse and Axel would sing in the shower

Olivia once cheated during karaoke by messing around with the wiring. She got bored while waiting for her turn(the others only realized it after getting the perfect score three times in a row)

Annnnd I realized I didn't think of an instrument Jesse would know how to play. And I have thought of~ the flute. I was thinking of f!jesse. But imagine f!jesse and m!jesse being siblings and they both signed up to learn. F!jesse loves it amd m!jesse doesn't. But they've gone too far. He can't quit now

And that's all. Thank you 👐

[thegreatnpowerfulspuukiiz]

i think it’s funny how some of the most popular miku/luka duets are about doomed or forbidden yuri

song : akatsuki arrival/daybreak arrival

[sarcasticgaypotato]

Petition to call Girls' Friendship the funniest fucking Miku+Luka duet I stg

Sing the gayest song and then call it 'friendship' like nobody will notice.

Miku calling Luka 'Sweetheart,' talking about seeking their freedom and 'coming out,' Luka comes running when Miku cries and then snuggles with her until she smiles again...

I mean no, yeah I totally tell my friends "I'm with you like we're lovers," all the time.

[daily-leoneed]

Day 140

I missed my chance to post about Kagerou Daze and Summertime Record on Kagepro Day… I hope you all can forgive me for posting it a day late. Moving on! Both songs are by JIN and both added to the game on August 15th due to its significance in the Kagerou Daze universe. Kagerou Daze is a full cover with Miku, and has alt vocals for all members. Summertime Record is a duet between Ichika and Saki with Luka supporting, and both girls have alt vocals.

[voca-song-a-day]

Hey everyone! So recently I've been going back through my posts in order to make a better ordered list for myself of what songs I've already featured, and because of that, I also started putting together some information about what Vocaloids and Producers have been featured on this blog the most so far! It was fun putting this together, so I figured I'd post the information as a little end-of-the year style thing!

Some of the exact numbers may be sliiiightly off, but they should be pretty close. And the numbers here are up to date through the song posted today (December 31st).

I'm hoping to start doing this as an annual thing, with updates to the rankings at the end of the year.

Also: as a quick secondary update- I have decided that this blog will start to feature songs using vocal synths of any kind, not just Vocaloid-specific songs. I still intend for Vocaloid characters to make up the majority of songs featured here (and I currently have a long queue lined up that still has only Vocaloids in it), but I will start to add other synths into the mix, and song suggestions are now open for solos featuring non-Vocaloid synths!

Anyway, without further ado: the rankings!

[koishua]

i most DEFINITELY need hatsune song recs

YOU'VE COME TO THE CORRECT WEEB

fav miku songs:

world is mine: my intro to miku and the world of vocaloids it was... SOMETHING ahahaha i adore it to bits it's so so sassy and unhinged (like all vocaloid song lol)

cendrillon: duet with kaito and it's so pretty and melancholic and dark i am obsessed also there's a miraculous ladybug amv of it it's insanely good with the vocalist covering it oh my GOD

cantarella: also with kaito!! same-ish vibes with cendrillon very royalty but this one is more like passionate romance i also love love love it ugh

popipo: for the most insane hilariously good vibes pls watch the video for it too you'll cry laughing it's so ridiculously adorable and just insane

senbonzakura: so so catchy i also adore the video for it with all of the cameos from the others' they're adorable but also this song has so many political undernotes lmao

look this way, baby: INSANEEEE so sassy so so sassy i know it WORD by WORD i strut and flick my hair to this in the middle of the night on full blast it makes me feel so happy i can't explain it

online game addicts sprechchor: it's so adorable it's about being addicted to gaming 🤭🤭 i adore the graphics too i had screenshots of the video as my laptop screensaver for so long

tell your world: this!! this i cry every time i listen to it it's just so so hopeful and positive and sweet the lyrics make me tear up and the melody is so beautiful and the chorus will always make my heart feel lighter!!

cat food: world is mine was my first intro BUT!! this was the song i heard afterwards and spiraled afterwards oml i had this downloaded on my old tiny laptop and mind you this was 9 years ago i knew the words to this by heart and somehow still do 😭😭don't look at the lyrics. don't look at most of project diva arcade's lyrics lmfaooo

decorator: THIS TOO!! this one came out after i got into vocaloid and it's so festive and the main lot are included and they're all so adorable and the lyrics are so so wholesome and nice and this one fills my heart with so much warmth and joy i also know this one by heart!! i also learned the choreo ahahahah and performed it to the wall of my room ugh it's just so upbeat and happy i have a very special connection to this one

odds&ends: the lyrics for this one kills :( i sometimes feel so overwhelmed with how heartbreaking the lyrics are but miku saying you should my voice and that you can use her if you can't do it yourself gave me so much courage ;-; her saying she'll be the voice you can't let out ;-;

others!:

echo by gumi: this one is devastating and i used to relate to the lyrics so much back when i was dealing with the depths of my confusion and anger and loneliness ugh

copycat by gumi: actually you know what i generally adore vocacircus so you can check out their songs

meltdown by rin: a cult classic you just vibe to this you just have to it's one of the catchiest vocaloid songs imo i also was obsessed with this for a whole three years so the lyrics are in the bag.

electric angel by rin and len: MY GOD THIS ONE IS ONE OF THOSE TOO gets me so happy and just really my heart feels so full the lyrics are so cute and adorable and quirky it just makes me tear up from how much better i feel every time i listen to it

lie by luka: (also made by vocacircus im telling you!!) this one is heartbreak packed into a song. one sided love hurts, breakups hurt (apparently lol and i got to feel the extent of it thru this song) and the lyrics punch you with every word. some of my favourite heartbreak lyrics. ("and maybe one day i'll get to see your smile in the arms of someone who loves you like i do / i'll play along writing our song, we are perfect, i love you / why dont i cry for you? / why aren't you gone? / i know you're not that strong") and maybe they aren't the saddest thing you've heard and i know it isn't mine, but the production is so empty-feeling and you can feel the ache from every single instrument and sound in the track and the visuals tell a story and—

reboot with miku, luka, and zimi: this one wrecked me after my first watch and listen. it's about three friends who drift apart after a tragedy and just. the resentment and guilt shown there. and the ending just. it's such a melancholic song. the video makes me sob every time esp 3:25-3:35 if you decide to watch it!

teddy bear by rin: don't watch or listen to this is you're not okay mentally bc i wasn't when i came across it. many sad and disturbing ideations (like a ton of other vocaloid songs istg ppl create to vent) and trauma dumpings but the song is genuinely so good

[strawberry-metal]

Alright, I’ll be ending it with this! Vivid! At last, Vocaloid metal at a Vocaloid concert, and it’s a Miku and Luka duet no less. I hope you all enjoyed my drunken ass trying to get good short snippets of the majority of the songs and I hope you all have a lovely evening! Love you all!

Ok so I drank the Miku margerita… when I took a fucking clonazepam and migraine med. So I got blackout drunk after the concert. I was literally only sober for the first song lmao

I apologize for video quality! Phone didn’t want to focus. They looked FAR better in person I assure you. I also tried to film the bandmates and lighting effects whenever I could remember to.

THANK YOU DALLA

[azure-daybreak]

So I went to Miku Expo 2024 last night (the Vancouver show) and I wanted to talk about it while it's top of mind.

TL;DR I had a lot of fun, while there were some things I wish were different (mostly the screen), it wasn't a bad first Miku concert IMO (But I do wanna see more shows). More under the cut!

First of all, it was super cool to see all the different people there to see Miku and the other Vocaloids. Like, I've been to conventions before and it's always cool to see a horde of people dressed as various anime characters or animals, but to see everyone dressed specifically as Voicaloids and Project Sekai characters was new for me.

About the merch on sale at the concert, I was surprised that they were doing most of it outside and that the inside merch stand had barely anything- at least when I got in. That could just be bad timing on my end. If you're reading this and you wanna buy merch at one of the upcoming shows (especially a glowstick), make sure to get there early. For Vancouver, they did send out an email the day before saying that they were selling merch outside starting at 2pm, but I wasn't able to get there before then.

I did get the VIP package merch but it's kinda.... well it's not bad or anything, and I'm glad to have it but some of it feels a little cheap. For example, the hand fan is cute but feels flimsy, and the tote bag has a really nice design but the heat pressing makes me not wanna use it because I'm worried about cracking the art. On the other hand, I really like the lanyard that came with the package; The art was done by Socky and I liked it so much that I bought the backpack that also has that art.

Onto the show. You may have already heard this but yes, It wasn't the usual hologram, where they have a sheet of glass with the visual projected onto it, it was just a normal screen where they played the visual. It did feel like I was watching one of those hologram-ready videos on my phone but on a giant TV, but it was still cool to see.

Here's also a side-by-side of how the hologram looks vs the display using on the rocks from Magical Mirai 2021 and last night's show. While it's not fair to use a pro-shot vs what looks like a musical theater bootleg sime tutorial to show this, I hope it gets the point across. (Miku Expo 2024 on the left and Magical Mirai 2021 on the right)

I liked the setlist also, it can be found at this link here, but some standouts to me were, Miku by Anamanaguchi, The Vampire, Unknown Mother Goose, Childish War, On the Rocks, Sore ga Anata no Shiawase to Shite mo, Gimmie x Gimmie (Love this song so much), World is Mine (everyone screamed at the first "Sekai de" (including me)), the band introduction, Tell Your World (It's not my favorite or anything, but they shot out confetti at one point and that was cool.), and Intergalactic Bond.

I want to expand a bit on the band introduction and them as a whole, I loved that the band got attention and their names were shown. I watched some Magical Mirai videos and I see that this practice might be from that, so I'm glad that was carried over. They all were stellar and watching them was really exciting, the drummer- Dylan was always so cool to look at, Tobias the keyboardist was dancing near the beginning of Gimmie x Gimmie and that was a vibe, the bassist and guitarist- Leanne and Vixen's Diary respectively were fun to watch when they would get into the song and headbang and bounce around.

Lastly, I was surprised that Luka only got 2 songs (one of them was a duet with Miku). I (very sadly) expect MEIKO and KAITO to get shafted when it comes to songs, but not Luka!

Quick shout-outs to some specific concert goers; Shieonn, who made stickers and was handing them out before the show (Here's her Twitter!),

The person near me who shouted either "I LOVE YOU JERMA!" or "I LOVE YOU DRUMMER!" at the end of one of the songs (I think it was World is Mine), the girl near me who was trying to get pictures and video of the show using her 3DS, and this one person I saw outside the venue entrance as the show was letting out who was dressed up as Sonic Miku, I wanted to say that I loved the fit, but I didn't wanna just walk up to you randomly at almost 10PM and possibly freak you out.

Overall, I'd go again but please for the love of god, don't just have a screen for the Vocaloids!

[lyn-ne]

20!!!

20. (outlier to F/L) 1 song for each unit to cover

Christ bagel you forget I’m not a huge mmj fan or wxs fan

However I will bombard you with ideas for vbs covers (and a few n25)

Leo/need

How to World Domination - Neru

I’ve seen this one on a lot of wishlists and I also love ichishiho duets so I’m all for it. Also harder rock l/n slaps so hard

I kissed Hatsune Miku - (forgot the producer sorry)

I might’ve spelled this one wrong so whoops. But regardless of the title, this is a very Ichika song and I want it

Vivid BAD SQUAD

Oh boy. Here’s the big list

Casino - Azari

I’ve seen so many people say this is Bad Dogs. But like. It could be another shanti?? So full unit. This would slap so hard

Show - Ado, Giga, Teddyloid

I made a post on this a whileeee back. And it still stands. Full unit vbs cover. This is just something I’ve wanted for ages and it should be added dammit.

SIU - Maretu

okay look this would work for n25 but like. It’s so Akito core??? I don’t care if it’s akitoya or full unit. I just want this. Also I love Brain Revolution Girl cover so please please more vbs maretu covers

for the rest of these, I’m going by name because I’m bad at remembering producer names I’m sorry

Lavie

akikoha. It’s a joke but I don’t think I’d ever shut up about it if it happened.

Ohedo Julia Night

So many people say emurui and you’re all wrong!!! It’s not even wxs core. Antoya!!!! Please!!! They’d go so hard!!!

Ladylike

Anhane + MEIKO = banger cover for this. Add miku, rin, or Luka too I don’t mind. (I love pheles)

CH4GE - Giga

very surprised vbs doesn’t have too many Giga covers. Anyways I don’t mind who sings I just want it

Getcha! - Giga

#anhanegetcha

Darling - Maretu

full unit. Man I just wanna hear them sing it. I don’t care if this song fits them or not

and finally, please add all the archives to the game pleaseeeee. I know they won’t but it’d be fun for April fools (I just wanna play akikoha meltdown)

Nightcord at 25:00

aAaAaAaAaAaAaA - anamanaguchi

kanamafu please I beg

You Are A Useless Child - Kikuo

istg if they make this kanamizu I will sue colorpal. Mafuena. You will not change this.

I guess I also just want more full unit n25 covers. Cause it feels like we only get full n25 on commissions and I hate that.
