So I've been hyperfixating on a Vocaloid Monster AU lately.

It started with me wanting to expand on the WOEFULLY underutilized concept of the PowerFX Vocaloids being "Classic Monsters" and just kind of... spiraled out of control from there. Now I have a LOT of ideas for Vocaloids, UTAUs and other vocal synthesizer characters as monsters for this AU.

So, specifically:

PowerFX:

Sweet Ann and Big Al = Frankenstein's Monsters (canon, more or less)

Oliver = Werewolf (I was inspired by this headcanon I found over at the old Vocaloid Headcanons blog and it hasn't left my brain since)

Yohioloid = Vampire (just LOOK at him!)

Ruby = Witch (I decided to round out the "classic" Halloween-style monsters with the only one that seems to be consistently female in these situations; after thinking about it though, it still fit, especially with the little star pattern in her jacket)

The ZOLA Project (based on their Carnelian designs)

Kyo = Vampire (Carnelian!Kyo has bat wings and bat = vampire)

Wil = Zombie (I actually don't know if Carnelian!Wil is specifically supposed to be a zombie, but someone said he looked like one so I went along with it)

Yuu = Werewolf (the furry, animal-eared hat and tatters/tears on his outfit scream "werewolf")

Other Vocaloids:

Aoki and Merli Lapis = Faeries (canon, obviously)

Aurum = Ghost (their aesthetic is supposed to be "a 1930s radio producer", so I thought why not make them an ACTUAL 1930s radio producer who died and now haunts the abandoned radio tower they used to work at? And yes, I know Aurum isn't technically a Vocaloid/won't be one when they're released, but let's ignore that for now)

Avanna = Witch (she gives off "magic user" vibes to me)

Daina = Kitsune (because foxes)

Dex = Werewolf (because wolves and also his voice provider made an entire song about him being a werewolf so canon)

Fukase = Demon (mostly just vibes in this case)

LUMi = Mermaid (because she's part jellyfish)

Luo Tianyi = Angel (canon)

Mayu = Vampire (it's in her aesthetic; I like to think she tries to bite people she's in love with so they'll never leave her)

Meika Hime and Mikoto = Forest Spirits (canon)

UTAUs:

Chikune Kenta = Vampire (canon, obviously)

KYE (Fuyuki Kaisei) = Dragon (he likes reptiles and also dragons are cool)

Kasane Teto = Human/Demon Hybrid (hence, "Chimera")

Kurobousuku = Werewolf (his name is literally "black wolf")

Namine Ritsu = Witch (another one based on vibes; also it would be funny for one of the few male witches in the story to also be a crossdresser)

Scott-129 = Alien (sort of canon)

Sekka Yufu = Yuki-onna (she's speculated already to be a "snow spirit" and a Yuki-onna seemed to be the most fitting choice for her)

Yuutsukoe Karasu (Kellyn Werner) = Tengu (sort of canon)

I want to do something with this idea, and I have some plot bunnies floating around in my head, but I'm not certain if I'll get around to it.

Lesser Known Vocaloid Submission!

Kimi to Kuranairo by Yukuewat feat. Yuutsukoe Karasu, Yamine Renri and Tsuchine Zumo

@yukarishoodie says: Another 'catchy but sad' song. Simple and takes full advantage of having 3 vocals, and also features some underrated UTAUs. Anyway listen to yukuewat.

I've not really delved much in the realm of UTAU, only a few here and there that were done by producers I already loved, but this is really good!

Currently about a third of the way through the process of making this cover. I still need to add the second half or so, clean up the funkier sounding words, and then tune, but I think it's coming along alright?

[flyingcookierambles]

copy and pasted credits under the cut bc i ended up writing a lot.

like 3 utau things that im working on bc im suffering and bored but also this kinda only makes me suffer more so idk lol. as you can tell they're super rough and nowhere near done at all lol.

honestly, im not totally sure who made the midi of Candy Store or Walking on Sunshine. The thing about me making utau covers of popular English songs is that theyre more of a personal fun practice "can i finally learn how to do english utau???" plus i never really completely finish or publish anything, so i'm not too sure of any etiquette when it comes to finding random midis and stuff, if it even exists...anyways if i do finish it, since the original midi isnt mine, i dont have any plans on sharing the usts or anything. id be happy to like write the vccv english that i used in a text file and put it on google drive or something, but i dont think i'd feel cool w/ sharing usts based on other things that technically aren't mine? you know? this also goes for the weight of the world english cover that i'm attempting (read: cobbling together noises that vaguely sound like english).

anyways! i'll still try to give credits even tho idk some things! in order of appearance: 

Yami Ryone English VCCV belongs to Ts99 (孙雅99) - http://ryoneyami.com/ Candy Store - Heathers the Musical (song written by Laurence O'Keefe and Kevin Murphy. I specifically listened to the version performed by Jessica Keenan Wynn (Heather Chandler), Elle McLemore (Heather McNamara) and Alice Lee (Heather Duke)

Random internet midi - mididb.com (says it's by The MIDI Karaoke Backing Tracks Production Team. yeah, idk who they are either)

音暖ののん / Nono Nonon-English (VCCV) (what a long name...) belongs to hznonosuka - https://hznonoka.wixsite.com/utau 

Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves (written by Kimberley Rew) (although the version that I grew up listening to was Aly and AJ's cover on Disney Channel lol) (the original music video is really silly though too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPUmE...) 

Random internet midi - freemidi.org (i guess the 14 tracks were every instrument and harmony? aaa i had to sort through it to find the vocal track and it was uhh. a difficult time. it turned out to be track 5.) 

Karasu Yuutsukoe / Karasu Yuutsukoe English belongs to revolocities - http://www.karasu.utau.us/ 

Weight of the World - NieR: Automata OST by Keiichi Okabe/Keigo Hoashi/Kuniyuki Takahashi. Japanese version sung by Marina Kawano, but for the English cover it was J'Nique Nicole. (I'm trying to channel Emi Evans and see if you can uh wrangle the sounds of VCCV English into her famous and confusing Chaos language that's used in the NieR series. it's uh. it's in even more baby stage than this cover and uh. it's nothing but suffering. please don't try to to do pure conlang song covers kids....) 

Weight of the World UST -  by Drk and Vanillars (https://soundcloud.com/martyrups/the-...) (that's right, this was an actual ust from soundcloud) (their cover w/ Rouon Aro sounds so good! i feel bad that i'll probably be messing up their good tuning later to make the english blend better aaaaaa please listen to the original japanese cover they made on soundcloud!!)

oh, yeah, also sorry for the obs popping up. don't understand what's up with that, but i assume it's insulting my internet connection by the "can't connect to server" or whatever error? if anyone has an answer as of how to stop it from interrupting while im trying to record, you'll be a real swell pal by commenting below on how to stop obs from making my awkward and unprofessional videos even more awkward and unprofessional to watch. 

 anyways, that's it. fall semester of my senior year of college started a week ago so i'll either be so busy that i can never finish these, or i'll get really bored and procrastinate by actually finishing something.
