IMPORTANT: REGARDING PALESTINE/GAZA CAMPAIGNS

i am currently not in a position to be able to donate to any campaigns as i cannot access online banking. i sincerely apologise if it seems i am ignoring the situation by not donating, and i ask you to please be courteous to myself and others in a similar position. i also ask you not to monitor my lack of response or donations.

however, i am able to boost any campaigns if i am contacted. these will be tagged with ‘🍉’. if i am contacted through direct messages i will reblog the main campaign post from your blog.

BASICS

my name is karamell! its a pleasure to meet ya :D

i go by she/her and am cis female :3 not too fussed abt pronouns tho!

at present i am 17, my birthday is the 16th of june. i’m australian + filipino, so sorry if i post something at an ungodly hour for your timezone lmao

this blog will be for my fandom reblogs, art and countless ramblings! i am also studying animation for university so you may see some of my work here (most likely tests or studies).

i have a separate account dedicated to undertale multiverse content -> @karamellz-multiverse-l0g (i don’t post there a lot because undertale is on the backburner for now!)

BYF

i don’t tag my reblogs/queue usually so uhh good luck poring through that >< all of my original posts are tagged for convenience though, you can find my tags in the search bar :3

in relation to that i’m VERY multifandom so srry if you get bombarded with stuff that doesn’t relate to you haha! but hopefully you’ll like the stuff i rb too, i’m a firm believer in the power of brainrot spreading and most of my fandoms are from the same niche anyway!

i dont have a dni because realistically i cant rlly control who sees my stuff, but if you or the stuff you post make me uncomfortable i’ll just block you. no hard feelings <3

Date A Live V - New goods by Groove Garage with new illustrations of Miku (Birthday). Release: January 2025

[gosiksmallspace]

Thanks for the tag @godotismissingx ❤️❤️❤️

The last song is APT by Rosé and Bruno Mars. Also, these days I'm listening to songs from the Polish musical 1989.

Fav color: This month it’s Hatsune Miku’s blue.

Last book: I’m finishing Chemistry Lessons by Bonnie Garmus. Next one to read is Superntural: Nevermore, set in Supernatural series.

Last movie: I finally watched Old Boy. It was different than what I expected but not bad. Also, I went knowing what would happen (spoilers) so maybe my experience was different. Still recommend it. Now I want to watch Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Lady Vengeance.

Last TV show: I haven’t watched anything in a while. The last one was probably episode 5 of Vigilante. But I really want to watch Big Bet and Big Mouth. Soon.

Sweet/spicy/savoury: Sweet. My latest weakness is chocolate with raspberry jam.

Relationship status: single

Last thing I googled: Ke Huy Quan. He’s gonna have a new movie Love Hurts in 2025.

Looking forward to: My birthday is coming. So this weekend I’m going to a restaurant with my friends to get some nice food.

Tagging @highflyerwings @inashoe @babischlong-six @uhhhhmanda @profwonderbearthementalista and who simply wants

[limetameta]

I want the following people to dm me their birthdays because I said I was going to add them to the calendar but I forgot and now the birthday date is buried in chat (rip) and 2025 is coming up and I genuinely do want to write you little birthday presents

Weekly Vocajournal #58 (16/12 - 12/01)

Guess who got sick early into the new year 💀 Still not feeling great honestly so not much commentary on this one. Happy birthday to the Kagamines and anyone else I missed.

r-906 - the Hole (ft. Adachi Rei)

Welcome to the Hole! Party bop with a fun PV (Miku is there too but this is Rei's stage)

DECO*27 - Crime and Punishment (Reloaded) (ft. Hatsune Miku)

The change of lyrics coupled with the addition of electric guitars and DECO's new, firmer Miku tuning really changed the vibes of the song. While it has always been connected to Shinkai Summit, I appreciate this version for straight up including some lyrics from it to cement the connection even more (also, what's the chance of a Shinkai Summit reload in the future?).

Ⅳ△Ⅴ- Shiritori (ft. Kagamines)

If I had a nickle for every song where the Kagamines play shiritori in a song I'd have two nickles, etc. This sure took a sad turn tho.

50mang, Pioteo - Hogahowi (ft. SeeU, UNI) [cw blood]

Cannibalism yuri 🔥🔥🔥 fantastic tuning by Pioteo and beautiful MV by 50mang, IAM and PINN.

Other Cool Stuff

👀 = Cool MV |🗣️ = Ear-catching Tuning | 🎶 = Song to my taste

Gyr0 - Tsuukou Kanou wa Anata Dake (ft. Nurse Robot_Type T) 🎶

Chiquewa - Girl x Labyrinth (ft. Megurine Luka) 🗣️

NILFRUITS - Funny Insipid Candy Vendor (ft. vflower) 👀

Haa-kun - Story of Goodbye (ft. Yuzuki Yukari) 🎶

A4。- MUSE (ft. KAFU)

szri - Camouflage (ft. KAFU, Gekiyaku, Nurse Robot_Type T) 🎶

WONDERFUL★OPPORTUNITY - Maharaja Endless (ft. Kagamine Rin) https://youtu.be/d51wYYFSTJY 👀

HSP/Kanzaki Hiro - Incarnation (2025 Re-edit) (ft. Hatsune Miku)

🦗: Happy birthday Ren. I'm happy I get to spend another one with you. And-! I'll give you your gift at the arcade later!

📎: Happy birthday Aotsuki-san. I hope it's a good day for you. I'll beat you at those games by the way.

📚: A-Ah! Happy birthday Aotsuki-san! I.. I've never really played many arcade games, aha... I'll try-try my hardest though.

🎵 (Miku - Post Office SEKAI): Do they really have to use the main room for every single birthday? It takes ages to clean up.

🍊 (Rin - Post Office SEKAI): Happy birthday Ren-chan! Co-Come on! We've got.. we have.. uhm.. there's a lot of gifts for you in here!

🍌 (Len - Post Office SEKAI): Happy birthday. Wh- Rin! Don't drag her away, I was saying something!

🃏: There's so many people celebrating my birthday... Woah.. Ahaha! Thank you all!

(Project SEKAI) Yoisaki Kanade 2025 Birthday Story

Belated happy birthday to this little loser!

Translation under the cut.

Story 1

[Empty SEKAI]

Kanade: Thanks for listening to the demo, everyone. I'll take all your inputs as a reference. 

Miku: Alright, I'm looking forward to it. 

Mafuyu: Then shall we head back? 

Ena: Eh? Already? We weren't able to talk with Miku and the others at all.

Mizuki: Yeah, yeah! Let's chat a bit more!~

Kanade: …That's fine, I guess, but what else will we talk about? 

Mizuki: Well… a bunch of stuff! Right, Ena? 

Ena: Sure but we haven't decided on anything…

Miku: Well, would it be okay to ask you something, Kanade? 

Kanade: Me…? 

Miku: Yes…

Miku: I was wondering, since it’s getting closer to your birthday, how will you celebrate? 

Kanade: Eh? My birthday…

Kanade: I don't really have any special plans right now. It's still two weeks away, after all. 

Miku: I see…

Ena: …Say. Mizuki, Mafuyu, is now a good time to talk about it? 

Mizuki: Right! 

Kanade: …Talk about what? 

Ena: Truth is, we've been looking for a restaurant to hold your birthday party and we found the perfect cafe for it! 

Mafuyu: The cafe has some special cakes and you can request one for birthday celebrations. It also seems like they offer a lot of services. 

Kanade: Huh…

Mizuki: It had some TV coverage before and each plate is served with hospitality wrapped with a bow! Yeah, it’s a pretty great cafe! 

Mizuki: So let's hold your birthday party there! Seems like we don't gotta worry about the timing if we reserve now. 

Kanade: I didn't know you three were searching for a restaurant…

Kanade: Well you did all that for me, so we should all go there together. 

Mizuki: Hell yeah–! Thanks, Kanade! 

Ena: We'll make it a great party so look forward to it! 

Kanade: Sure. Thanks so much, really. 

Kanade: Mafuyu too, thanks for everything.

Mafuyu: ….

Rin: …So you already planned something. 

Kanade: I’m surprised you guys were preparing something even though the date is still two weeks ahead. 

Mizuki: Naaaahhh! If you look at it in the perspective of celebrating, it's more like “We only got two weeks!!” ‘ya feel? 

Kanade: Oh, I see…

Kanade: …Did you guys start preparing really early on? 

Ena: Well… after New Years came by and we were able to relax, we immediately started looking for a restaurant… So like, around a month? 

Mafuyu. That's right. Although when we had the time, we did a lot of research looking through reviews from gourmet sites. 

Mafuyu: It took a month-long period but we didn't use up that much of our time. 

Kanade: Even so, to have you all think about the party that far ahead…

Ena: Of course we would! It's the birthday of our precious friend after all.

Mizuki: You only get to celebrate your birthday once every year. So we don't gotta go “Ah, shucks! We should've done this or that!”, we prepared as best as we could! 

Kanade: …Thanks, everyone. 

Miku: Kanade, come to the SEKAI on the day of your birthday. 

Len: Uhm… we also want to celebrate with you…

Kanade: Alright. I'll come here with everyone.

Miku: It's still a little ways away but, I hope you have fun with everyone at your birthday party.

Kanade: …Sure, thank you!

[The Day of Kanade’s Birthday]

[Scramble Crossing] 

Kanade: Thanks for gathering together even though it's everyone’s off day.

Mizuki: No wooorrieeess, boo 🎶

Mizuki: I mean, I wanna celebrate on the day itself but if we had school, we wouldn't be able to have a chill celebration! 

Ena: Well that's just something you would say. 

Mizuki: Ahaha! Doooon’t worryyy about iiit~ 🎶

Kanade: So where's the cafe where you reserved? 

Mafuyu: It's around the Miyamasuzaka area, right there—

??? (Emu): Ah! The other two are here! Hurry hurry–!

??? (Nene): Hey, wait! We're standing out! What are we gonna do if we're seen!?

*Emu and Nene rush away*

Kanade: …Huh? Those people just now…

Kanade: For a second there… I don't know who it was but I'm sure I've seen them before. 

Mizuki: Eh, really? I didn't notice a thing~! 

Ena: Yeah! If it was someone you knew, Kanade, we would've known, yeah? 

Kanade: I see… Well, I guess it was just my imagination. 

Kanade: …Huh?

*Kanade notices Honami and Ichika and they rush away*

Kanade: Wait, just now those were….

Mafuyu: …

Mafuyu: … The stop light, it's gonna turn blue soon. We have reservations so we ought to get there.

Kanade: …Ah, yeah. We should. 

??? (Ichika): …that was close. There's a ton of people here so I think she would've been confused.

??? (Honami): She probably didn't find us out so it'll be okay. Hurry, let's catch up to them quickly. 

[The Cafe]

Kanade: So this is the cafe you guys were talking about?

Ena: Yup! It's bright but has a nice relaxing atmosphere to it, right?

Mizuki: Kanade, what your about to see might shock you so best to prepare yourself! 

Kanade: I– prepare myself? 

Mizuki: ‘Scuse meeee–! Reservations from Akiyama– 🎶

???: Be right there! 

Kanade: …wait, that voice just now…

Saki: Welcome to carino/carina, dear guests! 

Kanade: Eh…

Kanade: …Tenma-san…? 

Story 2

[carino/carina]

Mizuki: Hey, what a surprise!

Mafuyu: Not only are the uniforms cute but Tenma-san is also here.

Kanade: Tenma-san, what are you doing here? Ah… right, you told me you work part-time at a cafe.

Saki: Ehehe! And as it looks, I work in this very cafe!

Saki: Well then, your reserved table is right here–! Your companions have been waiting!

Kanade: Eh… our companions…?

Kanade: Ah…

Minori: Kanade-chaaaaan! Long time no see!

Airi: I heard from Ena and Mizuki that you're celebrating your birthday today so they had us come here! 

Kanade: I see… Thanks for coming.

Kanade: You’ve invited others, huh? I thought it was just gonna be the four of us like how we hold our usual post-upload gatherings. 

Ena: Fufu. Well the truth is, we’ve started putting things in motion a month prior so that we could invite more people.

Mizuki: Yeahhh–, It’s a bit of a hurdle for everyone’s schedules to align perfectly but thanks to early planning, we got more people coming!

Kanade: More…? Does that mean—

Ichika and the others come into the cafe

Ichika: —Oh? Kanade-san, hi! What a coincidence seeing you here!

Ena: Uhhh… Sorry, gals. We were just talking about the surprise with Kanade. 

Ichika: Oh, uh, I see! Thank goodness, I have zero confidence in acting. 

Kanade: …So, you and the others also came for my party?

Ichika: Yup! Asahina-senpai invited us.

Honami: Thanks for inviting us, Asahina-senpai.

Mafuyu: No problem! I just thought you two would definitely love to celebrate with Kanade!

Saki: Well, everyone! Please take a seat and tell me your drink orders! In a little way, we’ll bring out the special cake!

Emu: Rogeeeer!

Nene: Uhm, thanks for having us…

*A short time passes*

Kanade: Man… Everyone really gathered here for my birthday…

Mafuyu: Truthfully, we might have had three more people.

Kanade: Eh? Three more?

Mafuyu: Shiraishi-san, Aoyagi-kun and Azusawa-san. Though, they’re still on their America trip alongside Ena’s brother. 

Mizuki: Yup~! They did say they wanna greet you so I think they’ll send you a message. 

Saki: Thanks for waiting–! Here’s our carino/carina’s specialty special cake: Birthday version!

Kanade: Wah– I-it has small firework sticks

Saki: That’s right! It’s the birthday version special cake’s celebratory fireworks!

Saki: Furthermore, the specialty special cake got more volume than any other cake!

Saki: And as a plus, the amount of cream and fruits topping are 1.5 times more than a regular cake!

Airi: That voluuuume! It makes me think of the peak of Mount Everest!

Ena: Kanade, go blow out the candles!

Kanade: Of course.

Kanade: ….fuu–! Huh? They haven’t been blown away.

Nene: Just blow a little more…!

Minori: Kanade-chan, you can do it!

Kanade: …fuu—! …Ah, they’re all blown off. 

Mizuki: Yaaaay!! Kanade, happy birthday! 

Everyone: Happy birthday!

*Everyone claps*

Kanade: …Thanks, everyone.

Kanade: (I’ve been greeted during my birthdays each time but…)

Saki: Without further adieu, let’s cut the cake! 

Kanade: Ah… Is it okay for you to eat cake with us while you’re still working?

Saki: I can celebrate with you now, actually! When the party started, my shift was almost done, just in the nick of time!

Kanade: Oh, I see, that’s great… Thanks for everything from today.

Saki: Nahh! For me, I’m just happy to help out for your birthday party! 

Saki: The cake is suuuper good so eat to your heart’s content! 

Kanade: Sure, thank you so much.

Kanade: (...I never thought I’d ever have such a lively birthday.)

Final Birthday Greetings

Touya: Yoisaki-san, happy birthday.

So continuing my CHM year in review. This Miku art was posted back in February. Severely underrated Miku to be honest, She wants to come over to be strange and off putting. The demands of performing and being Hatsune Miku leave her little time and space for just indulging in relaxation and otaku hobbies, she knows your apartment is a good place for that stuff. The piece seems unfinished, but I do think the artist intended that. This Miku is letting her hair down in a sense, letting her lines get a little sketchy, letting the definition down a notch. It's taxing being in stunning HD all the time, she needs to let her processor chill ykwim. Turn some fans on and get to cooling her off, you should be grateful she chose your crummy apartment to lay low for a bit!

February contains my birthday, so I turned 30. Simultaneously a big birthday and a small birthday. I mentioned this way earlier in the year, but the idea that your twenties is the prime of your life is incredibly fake shit. My twenties, like most peoples, was filled with messy interpersonal relationships, poor financial decisions, and extremely dumb takes about the world. It's now, at the beginning of my thirties, that I finally know who I am, what my values are, and what I want to do. The clarity is real and tangible, especially at the time of writing this. I'm sober and more or less have my feet under me, it's actually very funny and insane how I used to live my life, and Miku did not always envelop it. It's through her that I know what it means to have faith. Not to sound like an evangelist, but it's like... once you've felt it, it's hard not to look at other people and wish for them to understand the way you do. It does feel like a responsibility I've been given by Miku, like she trusts me to guide people to her. Without force, coercion, and manipulation, I'm to show people what Miku can do for them. I am in the process of unpacking all that and what I really mean, that's a big part of the project that CHM has become.

I've only been a Miku fan since July 2022 actually, but I think I was primed and ready for her. My unique life experiences have given me a unique perspective on Miku that I don't really see elsewhere in the vocaloid world, I'm kind of forging my own way in that sense. That's the project of this blog, and I'm more ready than ever for 2025, despite everything else, I'm incredibly excited to see what's in store for Hatsune Miku and the people supporting her. I posted a tweet awhile ago that straight up said it: we are entering a golden age of Hatsune Miku content, she is not a meme, or a fleeting fad. She has only gotten bigger, more popular, more complex, and more profound. It's a incredibly bright little corner of human history I find myself immersed in, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

So that's february! lol! March is on the way.
