I finally got Megpoid Gumi and decided to try using it today. It was my first time using Vocaloid2 Editor even though I do have the Kagamine twins. Ah well, lol. Enjoy~
PS: I do not own the original animation and music. Yes, I only created the vocal part.
Yeah, I know my blog was dead so here is something for you, fellow readers to watch. It is actually my second attempt of making something using Vocaloid Kaito. Uh no, I didn't compose the original song. It is from an anime called Macross Frontier. Anyways, enjoy and just ignore it if I somehow turned his voice weird :P
I just found these videos yesterday who would have guessed they actually make up a great but sad story. Here are the synopsis of the whole thing and credits go to wakafallen06 from YouTube for it. Characters:
Len (the boy)= he is a young Jewish prisoner at what is probably a concentration camp.
Rin (the girl)= She is a terminally sick girl who lives at a hospital next to the concentration camp. Her father is a Nazi officer.
Story:
Len and Rin, two young kids living side by side but divided by the metal barbed wire. They communicate by flying paper plane letters to each other, and they're both happy despite their situations (Len in the concentration camp and Rin suffering from terminal disease)
One day, Rin's father finds her reading the paper plane letter, and he becomes enraged when he finds out it's from a Jewish boy. He tells her to never see him again, and Rin becomes confused.
A few days after that, she discovers her symptoms are getting worse, and she can hardly walk anymore. Because she doesn't want Len to worry about her, she changes her clothes again into civilian clothes and goes out to meet him one last time. She sends him a letter that says she is moving away, so he'll never see her again. Len tells her he's going to wait until she comes back, asking "if I don't lose this letter and keep it with me safely...tell me we'd meet again someday."
Because she doesn't want to show her tears, Rin runs away.
Later that day, Rin gets worse, and the father finds out it's because she has been crying over Len.
He goes to the concentration camp in his uniform and tears Rin's letters from Len. Seeing this, Len is furious because he promised Rin that he'd keep them safe so they can meet again. In his fury, he attacks Rin's father, punching him and crying. The guards take him away and lock him up, and later, he dies in the gas room. (This is explored in Len's Prisoner PV)
Not knowing that Len's already dead, Rin lies on the hospital bed for months. She gets worse and worse, until she comes to a point where she is definitely going to die. She reminisces about the past and (thinking Len is still alive) thinks he'd be smiling up at her somewhere, that she wants to meet him, see him one last time.
Before she dies, her father puts the dropped paper plane letter into her hands. (thus, the promise was kept. Rin's father gave Len the letter too before he died)
FLELE? What is that? A type of food? A clothing brand? Of course not. FLELE is a cute and animated music player for your PC. Now, what makes FLELE so special? For your information, this program doesn't open in normal windows like Windows Media Player, Real Player etc. This player will take the form of your favorite Vocaloid characters instead. Perhaps you still can't imagine how does a FLELE looks like. It's okay. Take a look at my desktop screenshot below.
Notice little Hatsune Miku on the lower right part of my screen? That's a FLELE aka my adorable music player. It's available for download HERE if you're interested. Note that the shell of your FLELE can be changed. I have downloaded the shell of Shion Kaito and it's just so cute!
Lol. What a random title. Anyways, I did a random recording of one of my favourite songs on Project Diva and I never thought I would score perfect. Lucky? Coincident? Maybe XD
I was planning on recording using RemoteJoy Lite but I didn't have the audio cable with me. I ended up using camera instead.
I can't get enough of Love is War especially the version sung by Kaito. It's awesome! He is the only one singing different version of the lyrics <3
Lyrics:
Shion Kaito's version
Japanese
yukiba no nai shousou kono ai no kajuusa
ai iro no sora biryuushi no koukaku hizashi wa shizumi yami jyaku ni hibiku kikaion
aa , sekai ga susande sore demo suki de ireruka nante wakari kitta kono angou wo kimi ni dousureba tsutawaru ka baka da na ... ore wa
kimi wo mamoru yo kore wa sensou kizutsuiteku kimi wo miru nante oboreru ai kore wa tsumi omoi shirase ore no aijyaku wo
saken de mita kono koe wa hinjaku dakedo dore hodo koe wo agete mo kimi ni todoki wa shinai darou
aa, itsuno mani ka yo ga akeru jikan yo tomare kimochi ga tsutaerare nakute doushitara dousureba

English
The agitation with no release. The weight of this love
In the blue sky, lights reflects on particles The sunsets, from the weakening light comes the mechanical sounds
Ah, the world is falling apart, but even so, I still love you I understand that completely. What should I do To make you understand this secret code I am such a fool? I will
Protect you, this is a war There is no way I will watch you get hurt A suffocating love, that is a sin I will let you know my affection for you
I tried to yell out, but this voice is weak No matter how much I raise my voice, It probably still won't reach you
Ah, before I realize it, the dawn is already coming. Time, please stop I cannot make you understand my feeling, what can I do How should I proceed
I can see you who I cannot reach
Therefore
I will protect you, this is a war Whatever it takes, there is no time to choose means In order to let you understand the extend of my love I will protect you with all my might
Prepare for the final blow The battle is not yet over Love is war Until this song reaches you
Here are several other versions of the song created based on the voice of different Vocaloids. It's seriously the best software ever!
By Hatsune Miku
By Kamui Gakupo
By Kagamine Rin
By Kagamine Len
By Meiko

English
There's nowhere for it to go anymore, the heat of this love
The grey clouds, the monochrome clamor The sunlight casts a shadow, the twilight changes color
The world blurs; even so, will I still love you? I know this -- but what should I do? How can I, what should I... What an idiot... I am
Let's go, this is war Just seeing you so happy...! Ardent love is a sin I'll show you my feelings
The megaphone I shouted into has broken However much I stretch, I'm not in your field of vision
Ah, the sky cleared before I knew it and it doesn't suit me I can't hold my feelings back How can I, what should I...
Because I'm not going to cry
I love you
I'm fighting, shooting for the heart I didn't choose this way I'll show you how my skirt flutters And steal your gaze away
Prepare for a counterattack I'm fighting a losing battle Love is blindness Your kiss opens my eyes
I just got Project Diva yesterday from THIS site. The size is about 900 MB but it will be 1.30 GB after extracted. Yeah, I know it is out for over 2 months already but meh, I wasn't a fan of Vocaloid back then. I even thought Vocaloid was an anime.
So far, only the Japanese version has been released and as for the US version, the date is TBA. Project Diva is basically a music game but unlike PSP Revolution, I find that it's more enjoyable and obviously, the music videos are better.
Most of the songs are sung by Hatsune Miku except for a few where you get to play Kagamine Len and Kagamine Rin's versions after unlocking them. Too bad Kaito isn't in. Also, another good thing is the game will automatically import all the songs from your PSP and they can be used as BGM! :D
The full review of Project Diva can be found HERE. In addition, you can create your own songs to be played in the game. HERE are the guides.
I'm still trying out the game at the moment and I like Love is War the most. The video below isn't made by me by the way.
Just want to share four nice videos of Vocaloids which actually make up one sad story. Gotta love the ending =)
All the songs are sung by the Vocaloid twins, Kagamine Rin and Kagamine Len. Read the subtitles while watching these videos according to order and you will know the whole story. Enjoy~
I tried out my Vocaloid yesterday and produced these. It was pretty hard since Kaito is specially designed to sing Japanese songs and yet, I made him sang Italian song entitled Canta Per Me from an anime, NOIR.
This is the original version without music:
As for this one, it's the second version I created but the song isn't full because I couldn't find a full version of the music:
And lastly, this is the final version I came out with =D
