Spotlight: Youtube Edition

Do you know that there are a lot of good Engloid producers…who are not on Nico Nico. I know as impossible as it seem they are actually some good Vocaloid producer right on youtube. Here I’ll give you some examples:

New Zero-G Vocaloid: Tonio

At NAMM,one of the largest music product trade shows in the world, Zero-G announced
a new male Vocaloid named Tonio. Like Prima, he is an opera singer and apparently has unprecedented singing quality and remarkable realism. As of yet, there is no demos of him singing but Tonio is planned to be release early this Feburary.

Happy 5th Birthday Lola and Leon

While 5 years don’t seem that much to most people, it kind of hard to believe that Vocaloid began 5 years ago. Yup, that right everyone. Lola and Leon, aka the first Vocaloids, turn 5 today, and while most people in the Vocaloid fandom don’t celebrate this day or are even aware who Lola or Leon are. I am very happy that they were created.

Happy 2nd Birthday Prima

It’s kind of hard for me to believe that Prima turns 2 this year. It seems that the little opera singer has been around longer then those short years, but believe it or not Prima is now 2. Happy Birthday, Prima!

Kodakami ,or Koda-P as he would like to be known in the world of Vocaloids, has recently shared that the developers of an freeware RPG has agreed to using Vocaloids Big Al, Lola, and Miriam for the music in their upcoming game AD Lucem.

Here is a example of one of the Vocaloid songs featured in the game:

AD Lucem

The lyrics are written in a made up language so don’t bother trying to understand it.

The youngest celebrating will be our favorite little opera singer, Vocaloid Prima, who will be turning 2 on January 14th.

So, if your a huge Engloid fan try to do something special on those days to show that your happy that these three softwares were created.
