I love Vocaloid more than I love anything else on this planet. Every day I wake up and I'm thankful for Vocaloid and all the beautiful things it has spawned including UTAU. The creativity and community and everything about it is so special and almost miraculous. I hope this is only the beginning.

I agree wholeheartedly anon. Life just wouldn't be as bright as it is without Miku and co. there.

Don't know since how long you've been on the ride, but it died down a bit now.

The better days were around 2009-2013.

It's nowhere close to dying, but it's not the same as it used to be.

I read your post and muddled it around in my head for awhile and I disagree. We're in Vocaloid's infancy, even if you think the infancy isn't as good as it used to be. And as long as producers are always making new content then that's what Vocaloid is about.

>We're in Vocaloid's infancy

I have to disagree. Vocaloid (and Utau) already came a long way. There's still room for improvement, but I doubt we'll see (hear) anything ground breaking from now on. Naturally, Utau has more of that room but whatever, it's already better in certain ways

>And as long as producers are always making new content then that's what Vocaloid is about.

I don't understand what you mean here. It has always been about making content, and that hasn't changed. But a lot of famous producers moving on, the market being saturated means you're going to have a hard time finding good things if you're a fan of someone other than Miku or Teto.

This is entirely personal, but V4 being subpar in certain cases didn't help either.

All in all, it feels like the old hype is gone.

As I said, it's not dead, but really isn't the same as it used to be.

Better in what sense? i much prefer the music/tuning being put out now vs what we had back then

>I doubt we'll see (hear) anything ground breaking from now on

producers have been upping their tuning game quite a bit. Western producers have been ones to surprise me as of late with their tuning vs their japanese counterparts, so i dont think its fair to say that

>a lot of famous producers moving on

Producers come and go all the time, i dont know how that changes anything unless those select few were your sole source of vocaloid music which to me is unfathomable.

>the market being saturated means you're going to have a hard time finding good things if you're a fan of someone other than Miku or Teto.

being saturated isnt a bad thing, i see it as more music to discover but that brings me to my complaint with the current fandom and that's the need to be spoonfed. It feels like no one bothers to do any leg work of their own to discover vocaloid music they like. No one ever discusses comiket/ m3/ vocaloid m@ster/ or vocaloid paradise releases let alone listen to a damn crossfade anymore

I wrote you a wall of text, but 8chan ate my post and I won't write it again.

I'll only say I'm glad you're optimistic about these things, you probably enjoy it a lot more than I do now, so don't let my words get to you.

Enjoy it as long as you can.

Peace.

Who dumped a salt shaker on your keyboard?

The scene isn't dead, nor has it peaked, you're just a salty old grandpa.

The reason you think 2009-2013 was better was because of nostalgia. I'm sure you can't remember the plethora of crappy songs that use to plague the ranking. Or what we considered "good" is now "mediocre" since now people have learned how to tune and get better with usage over time. Classics from 2009 sure as hell wouldn't get the same attention if they were released today, we have standards now. It makes it harder for songs to get a million, or even a hundred thousand views. Producers have to compete for views and mylists by ya know…actually being good at making music. No longer can parody/shock/stupid songs get the views they used to get.

It seems to me that your own personal hype is gone. Go rediscover that hype by lurking piapro, watch the daily ranking, scour some twitter accounts. Or maybe you're just really depressed. Either way, try and find some excitement because it's out there.

Or maybe it's your turn to leave the ride. Others have been waiting to ride this roller coaster and it seems you no longer get ay enjoyment from it. Might as well free some room for the people who want a ride.

I don't know, songs I thought were good then I still enjoy now and I think they would still get the same attention now, especially since they've continually re-used in the Project Diva series up until now (whether that's a good or bad thing is debatable).

You also can't prove one way or another why it's rare for songs to get the same amount of views now. Personally I would lean more towards the other anon and say that it's because of the Vocaloid scene isn't the same as it once was, but it's just a random guess.
