People Who Dislike Vocaloid

Whaoo ! Insulted ?

No, but i don't have teenagers problems like "hey, what are you listening to ? This singer is better than this one, i'm listening to better songs than yours, etc...", you know... childish competition.

By the way, before knowing Hatsune Miku, i didn't care about Japan music, for me, Japan was the country where Heavy Metal CD have bonus songs LOL.

So, i understand these guys that are completly rejecting this "music". And this is not a music at all because, there are any kind of musics made with a vocaloid as a singer, from death metal to pop or jazz.

Well, something sung in a very foreign language, with an electronic/unnatural voice, by something that didn't exist, it's too much in the same time for a newbie.

But there are haters everywhere in Japan too, in France too, i don't know the others countries but it should be the same.

If you want to make someone listen to vocaloid, well try first some nico nico singers, i'm thinking about an artist like Nano, she is making english covers of vocaloids songs, and, as she was born in the New-York, her english is perfect, here is her youtube channel, you can also try the oster project big band CD, more jazzy songs

You can also make then watch some concerts, and tell "OK, you don't know the songs, but look the audience is having a lot of fun, singing all the words".

you can make them watch some videos like these :



the Mikumentary too:


This article too, Alex Leavitt's work too is good

To tell the truth,i tried to make all my friends listen to vocaloid, results = zero new fans :(

keep the faith, you know you have the right to listen to the music you like, you are not forced to listen to music that don' t talk to your heart, that's all :)

And in the end, tell them "hey, look at these girls' cosplays", it's getting interesting now ?? :)

 

Kids react to Hatsune Miku on the Finebros Youtube channel. Although I watched that over a year ago, so it doesn't matter about who likes and dislikes Vocaloid anyways. As long it's not my problem I don't really care.

 

hmm well just ignore them, not like they know why we like vocaloids

 

I wrote several pages on this very topic a little while ago, in case anyone is interested in giving it a read. It's definitely frustrating, for any medium really (not just Vocaloid).

My younger, bratty brother called it a "girl game"..

 

I don't care about them, but there's only one thing i can see or know from them, they are quick to judge or they are just very average creature.

 

Well what's wrong with "average"?

I love Vocaloid music but of course I have my share of regular Pop, I like listening to some Avril Lavigne, Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift, and some country artists sometimes too. It would certainly be wrong for us to label them for they're tastes just as the small few of them have to us. And I feel it's ok to be quick to judge when it comes to music (to an extent), if someone would rather listen to music in a language they can understand, so be it.

 

I've been listening to Japanese music for more than 30 years now, since I was a toddler. ^_^;; Same amount of time as I've been exposed to English music. I absolutely adore pop music, idol music, and the like. I love electronic and dance music of all sorts. I've always been very avid into the production and composition side of music. So with these things being said: it was natural that I would fall in love with Vocaloid. Luckily, I've always had close friends who were into Japanese music and pop music in general. So it's not too hard for me to run this stuff across most of them. Although despite them trying it out, I think very few of my friends have actually gotten really "into" Vocaloid music so to speak (as more than just a casual/passing interest)...

Part of that could be the stigma that is attached to it. In America, there is an idea that Vocaloid is just for weeaboos. So even the most open-minded people, often, can have a hard time convincing themselves to give it a fair chance. For me it was never an issue; I'm about as objective and open a person as you'll find. Not to mention that, for a true fan of pop music at its core, there is no way they won't find some sampling of Vocaloid songs that will speak to them (if they actually take the time to try enough of a variety out. There's such a spectrum out there to choose from.) I was a fan of it from the start, but sadly I can't expect everyone else to be able to look beyond the stigma. Thankfully I've met some fellow fans here today. You guys know more about it than I do, judging by the other threads, haha.

There's nothing wrong with that. In the past few decades, Japan has been producing much better (and much more) pop music than either America or Europe has. So in that, it makes sense. You're not being biased towards/against a particular language, just being "biased towards good pop music." As we all should be. America does still have some fantastic pop acts nowadays; they are just few and far between. Europe has quite a bit more, but nothing like the variety and breadth that Japan has been offering in these same few decades.

 

Who gives a fuck about them? Just listen and do things that YOU like feel better.

I'm used to convive with normal people and people who dislike Vocaloid or J-pop daily (because i'm a university student / teacher / didatic laboratory monitor) and what i do is only give and receive mutual respect of them and nothing more about.

Remember this: They doesn't pay your bills, it's only you or your fathers (that ought give respect to your respectively sons/daughters...)

 

For me it's kind of strange, the only people I've met who didn't like Vocaloid music were anime fans and even then there are only a select few. They say the same things, like the music isn't too their tastes or its too high pitched then they don't listen to me when I try to tell them not all Vocaloid songs are like that.
Outside of that a lot of people I encounter recognize and are able to put a name to Miku. One time I met someone that knew her last name and not her first and I still wonder to this day why they remembered the harder and longer part of her name compared to the two syllable first name. "Her name's Hatsune Mi- mi something isn't it?" Maybe they thought Hatsune was her first name or something... They are all pretty open minded about it even if they don't particularly care. It's a start.
