Butterfly (SMiLE dk ) by new VOCALOID Sonika !

[cavallucciomarino97]

voice metallic because

[rai1899]

Im freaked out!

[MintnCreamproduct]

Her picture creeps me out...stop staring...STOP...O-O

[VOCALOID401]

she looks like a sim... sims scare me! D8

[otakufanatic98]

vocaloid+smile dk= OHEMEFFGEE SQUEEE!!!!!!!!

[DementedMunchkin]

That.. picture.. really scares me O.O

[sunlight312]

Not bad

[animechibiwolf]

Thats like...Gumi or is her first/last name Sonika (?)

[RennieBenzene]

@animechibiwolf Nope, Gumi and Sonika are two different Vocaloids.

Gumi's second name is usually made 'Megpoid.'

[adaje5]

@RennieBenzene

her official name is megpoid. just like gakupo's is gackpoid. (they are made by the same company along with gachapoid or Ryuto.) she is called gumi because her voice donor/actress or whatever is named megumi.

[smeowinator827]

This sounds really good for a Japanese computer program speaking english. this is the only good english vocaloid.

[mihaelkeehl97]

@smeowinator827 Sonika is actually and ENGloid (made to speak English)

[smeowinator827]

@mihaelkeehl97 I know...

[Roserietta]

Is there a long version?

[HelpCatIsMee]

Nah, she's singing to VY2.

[EmeraMixx]

Not bad, but it feels like she needs more power in this song. ^^;

[Riikathezombie01]

Thanks to this song I imagine a love triangle between Sonika Gakupo and Luka now

Sonika like Gakupo but Gakupo likes Luka and Luka wants nothing to do with either of them lol.

[PointsofData]

@Riikathezombie01 Wouldn't that be more of a love....line? xD IDK lol

[Riikathezombie01]

@PointsofData Yeah, that's true. 'u'

[KC12344325]

EPIC. Nuff said XD

[momiclogirl]

is it just me or does it sound like she has a small russian accent

[TheWorldEndsTuesday]

I have an urge to search for SonikaXGakupo fanart now thanks to this song, lol.

[Paulchan93]

@TheWorldEndsTuesday Totally! me too!!!

[animegirlnamedDani]

yay!!!! most people dont use sonika well!!!! she sounds good here!!!

[BeautifulLiarXo]

She doesn't have enough love.

WE LOVE YOU SONIKA! ♥

[Butterfly18981]

didnt anyone else notice that her eyebrows are brown and her hair is green

[Elecy]

@Butterfly18981 Her hair is probably dyed. People who dye their hair don't tend to dye their eyebrows, so it's always a give-away to their natural color.

[mokana713]

@Elecy

on her twitter page she posts pics of her with different hair colors, so you are most likely right

[robotbetty9]

Wonderful song!

I sing it too!

-- Robot Betty9

[Volume0dB]

I'm am owner of the label Volume0dB and produced one of the rarely songs with Sonika in english that you can buy in all major music stores like iTunes or Amazon. The song is called 'Suburban Taxi'. Have a look at the promotion video here on Youtube in my channel 'Volume0dB'. I got special thank's from Zero-G and they placed the song No 1 on their site sonika-vocaloid . com / songs

Yes it's true, Sonika sounds very good in English!

[UnknownFlyingPancake]

She sings it more clearly than the original version.

[kinoshkiwa]

nice...XD

[darkmagewild1]

nice



[speedemon892000]

wow, I can understand her very well

[pitz2500]

Whoooa, I haven't heard this song in ages... *remembers it in DDR or a DDR knockoff*

[LunarMoon651]

Wait a minute...

NOW GUMI BECAME A SAMURAI?!

[personwholovesailorm]

@LunarMoon651 CARROT KATANA!!!!

[animerulessodeal]

cool!

[EachSecret]

I love Sonika :D

As well as Miku and Luka

[26doubt]

Green black and blue make the colors in the sky indeed. ♥

[Chicojava]

Waa pero si es la cancion de esos celulares chinos de juguete que ladraban , sonaban y la antena prendia una Luz xD Y ahora esa cancion es de las maquinas tragamonedas

[KrispyApplez]

The problem with english vocaloids is the same garggled shit.

Everything is fuzzy and auto-tuned. The voices need to be clearer and they need to sound YOUNGER. Middle-age women, no wonder it's such a flop.

[boohannahboo]

She sounds Scottish. XD

*totally not stereotyping*

[TheOriginalEmoEmu1]

@boohannahboo she's actually British. XD

[boohannahboo]

@TheOriginalEmoEmu1

Oh, well, okay then. o.o"

[ashleigh101664]

Pwns original! The original is weird... :/

[sparklepink4ever]

When she says "Green, black and blue" it sounds like she's saying "Green, black and blow" XDD

[biowon]

Hm, still prefer the Megurine version.

[Hinata78148]

Sorry Sonika, Gakupo's taken by Luka XD

[SparklyNear]

@Hinata78148 Luka can go away, her English is bad anyway. I<

[Hinata78148]

@SparklyNear no matter what u say, Luka is still awesome! XP

[UkariiMoonshine]

Wow, I don't think I've ever heard a Vocaloid sing in English this well!

[CpPingoo015]

@UkariiMoonshine duhhhh she is a english vocaloid so yes

[MJTheEnigma]

O.O Cool

[conkertediz]

For a vocaloid her english is pretty clear.

o 3o

[cosmiclucky]

@conkertediz

That's because she's an English Vocaloid.

[lilgurlbigat]

Was her voice sample taken from a British singer?

[cosmiclucky]

@lilgurlbigat

Yep.

[SakuraChao]

@lilgurlbigat I think so, yes! Dunno who though 0.0

[lilgurlbigat]

@SakuraChao Yeah, she sounds like she has a british accent. Especially in this song in particular.

[mamabeth965]

hmmm she must be looking for gakupo x3

[MTNinjax]

Her voice is a little deeper than Megurine but is still good. :D

[Emmanuel009hax]

I like that 3D model...

[jonnydjtracker]

what software do they use to make music ???

[misa431]

good enlish yepyep

[CameronsLuv]

Awesome *O*

[stfb1055]

she sound like luka lol

[HaninozukoKyo]

she looks like Megpoid and sounds like Miki

i like her!

[Tamani15]

wow..unlike the old english vocaloids..i understand her! not perfect yet but they've improved :P The japanese vocaloids pronounce words a little better (japanese words anyway) she couldn;t really pass as a human but cmpared to sweet ann..im impressed >:3

[KawaiiMajoKuroneko]

That's pretty good for a VOCALOID. ^_^

[LemonOrangeCake]

Like a Meiko cross with Luka, but born in an English speaking country.....overall lemme dance!

[EvilEmoCupcakes]

probably the best I've heard of Sonika.

:D

[UTAUloidSatoko]

OMG! its amazing!

I used to be obsessed with this song C':

[inuyashakagome445]

ient she british?

[AliarYamato12]

I really like her voice. It sounds young and cute. I do not mind it's robotic sound to it at all. Her voice sounds sweet. It also sound mature too. :3

[MrEvilchibi]

English seems like a more difficult language for Vocaloids to sing, even if they have been made for it. Maybe its because of difficult pronouncing or something.

But Sonika came out really good in this, Good job.

[elvishhobbit]

it's because of the amounts of different vowel sounds, and the constanants are odd too

[kanga1402]

wow she sounds really good in english

[NekoSasuke12]

DxU

[PrinceRoxas]

I still think she sounds like a better english speaking version of Luka.

[pianomusiclover52]

@PrinceRoxas

I completely agree with you

[HannyGirl812]

@PrinceRoxas it sort of sounds like english luka but her voice is lower.... i like luka better ♥

[egenin]

smile dk? i thought it was Aqua

[aliroseart]

@egenin it's not either, it's DDR

[egenin]

@aliroseart you sure? butterfly is on my Aqua CD if i remember correctly ._.

[aliroseart]

@egenin when i downloaded the song it said it was by ddr...

[AnimeBlessings]

@aliroseart That is because it is for DDR

[aliroseart]

@egenin oh wait, it's smile dk. i even saw the music video; it was definately smile dk

[egenin]

@aliroseart im sad now that my CD has lied to me .-.

[dusterdriven]

this is pretty good LOL... a little digital but not bad for an english vocaloid

[beyondthegrave2005]

The roboticness is easily fixable... Give it a bit. Hell, there's people that can make Miku sound like an actual person instead of a jumbled mess of mispronounced syllables encased in a metallic overtone.

[AngelsDelight2612]

Uhhh I don't really like Sonika they culd've done better I think

[Trublhappn]

Hmm... Maybe it's because it's actually in English... but the roboticness of the voice actually doesn't appeal to me like it did in the Japanese versions of the others. idk, Sonika just isn't mah favorite.

[numbaoneindahood]

She's totally singing to Gakupo right...?

lol

[Paulchan93]

@numbaoneindahood omg you totally affected me now........now im keep thinkinh about Gakupo+Sonika X3.......anyway nice song and nice voice

[numbaoneindahood]

Lol whut XD

[horonigai1068]

@numbaoneindahood Well he's a Dancing Samurai and she's a singing butterfly, so guess it works

lol

[NoteDeath010]

was this produced by the same vocaloid2 producers that created miku, rin len and luka? or is it made by the english ppls that created sweet anne and leon or whatever...

[DragonitePrincess]

Crypton made Miku , Kaito, Rin, Len, Meiko, and Luka; PowerFX made Sweet Ann and Big Al; Internet Co., Ltd. made Gakupo and Gumi. AH Software made Kiyoteru, Yuki, and Miki; Zero-G made Sonika, Leon, Lola, Miriam, Prima, and Tonio, who is coming maybe in February.

[eresa09]

@NoteDeath010  no it wasn't, this is made by Sony

[NoteDeath010]

ah, righty then ^_^

oh well, she sounds nice no matter where she came from xD

[LightMichiru]

SONiKA was made by Zero-G,as stated in the description.

They also made Leon,Lola,Prima,and coming soon:Tonio.

[NoteDeath010]

battle of info... either zero-g or sony.... confused now... oh well i dun really care anymore -.-

[beyondthegrave2005]

Don't forget Miriam.

[bezzybabes]

Nah. dont like sonika. no wonder she didn't catch on

[AnimatedSquirrel]

I actually think this version is better than the original. Her voice sounds prettier.

[TigerakaTila]

o.o hills sounded like "hells" XDD;

hrm, she seems to have trouble with t's if there isn't two of them. blue also sounds a little weird

second time hearing her, so far not caring for her, but ill still gtry a few more songs

[IvoryOfTheWolves]

Wow, very good. o.o This is the first time I've heard Sonika. She sings English very smoothly compared to bilingual Vocaloids like Luka. Not putting Luka down or anything, just saying. n_n

[YTpoopLuver4eva]

I like it!!^^ I think the song fits Sonika's voice!!!!! Even though She does sound a tad bit like Luka....I love her voice!!!

[SmashSister425]

actually, i think her first desighn is perfectly fine! she just needs some fanart XD

[SirenoftheBallad96]

she sounds pretty~

Like a British/Asian accent~. Really nice~

[iDunKnowProductions]

she sounds a lot like Luka..

just a but more of a smooth sound.. nice :3

[1coolgirl111]

people keep complaing about sonika i hate that! i look at her in this picture and the beautiful the way she is!

[ToonTownCatII]

Wow, I've NEVER heard this VOCALOID before, but that's probably because I only listen to certain songs with the older VOCALOIDs.

She reminds me of Luka a bit, xD

[ShunShunRikka3]

@ToonTownCatII a little,but sonika can sing any language not just english and japanese as her software doesnt extend to syllables or phoenetics but its alot more complicated. I might get her, as i still cant fully read japanese.. Then its HATSUNE MIKU TIME!! MUHAHAHAHA! lol anyhoo ya she sounds a little like miku, and you should look at her new design

[ChaosFantasy9x]

She sounds a bit like Luka...

[amidahime]

Currently I believe there is a on going compentition to re-design Sonika. And she can sing pretty much in ANY language, here system is one of the most advanced.

[animeroarr]

thank god!

her current design is horrible

who made her look like that D:

[winxcat]

the new one looks sooo good. with the glimmer and tied up hair (i think) kind of an modern-egyptian theme. The awesomeness overwhelms +.+

[Icelilac1]

Sonika's really good. Since she's made for singing French, German, English, Japanese and more, I believe.

But I love her latest design, and it's not as plain as the one in this video.

[GreenLeafSpiritClan]

to me it sounded when she said Hills it sounded like hells no offense to the creators or anything o.o"

[Yojobat]

And when he said "shy", it sounded like tjej for me (which becomes by the fact that it means "girl" in swedish...

Just a little girl :D)

But still, I think they made an OK job.

Thinking about asking for her for christmas :)

[fluffypluffy]

Her voice sounds good! She pronounces English well, too. :D

[cargochaos]

I really love the way she says "too" for some reason lol

[iRMagicDinosaur]

I like it.

:D

[Sackura999]

It's don't Vocaloid 2 it can by Vocaloid 1

[BlizzardWing]

Sonika doesn't seem that advanced compared to the other Vocaloids. She seems just a little better than Luka when it comes to speaking English, but her voice is still very robotic like. Worse than the Original Vocaloid duo.

[RacoonBurglar]

well atleast its years ahead of microsoft sam,

[icreps105]

True that....anyway to the people who think she's not as advanced as previous Vocaloids, she's alot more advanced. She may not sound like it because she's alot harder to use than previous ones, so people are still getting used to her.

[icreps105]

This comment was supposed to be under RacoonBurglar's comment......

[SolariaChan]

searching in the widds and far upon the hells? shes a bit off on some letters i think :/

she sounds a bit like shes on drugs as well..

[DragonitePrincess]

How about we all just argue about it, huh? :3

[PopPrincesses]

Sonika is Luka, people.

[Wolfneko18]

Have you noticed how her tone quality in English is a billion times better than Luka's? I have Luka so... Sonika is really different...

[Nekorin]

Sonika is not limited by language like her predecessors.

[dundeecake]

You have stolen my thoughts. xD

[chikuela]

listen to green green and you'll love sonika

[cashboxpie]

Her voice is so soft, like Luka's

[generalsargant332]

Hmm, in a little while I'd like to see Luka and Sonika sing this together. It is a two-part song, you know? :D

[SchatzDerTiefsee]

She has a cute voice, but I don't like her design

[AnimeEyes143]

..I can't say I really Sonika as much as other vocaloids. I'll always be a Rin, Len, and Miku fan to the end but when it comes to being bilingual I like Luka and Miriam better than Sonika. Though before making a final judgment I'll wait out for some more songs; she is still new and people ares still playing around with her voice I guess. I am hoping better songs will come out.

[Nekorin]

Well, I'm new to the vocaloid scene, but Sonika has greater phoenetic capabilities than any other vocaloid, represents America's recognizing how to make a popular vocaloid, plus if you don't like her design, she's got her own twitter where she (In character) is hosting a redesign contest.

[AnimeEyes143]

I know that she is the most advanced of the vocaloids, and it is not her design that bothers me it is her voice. I just do not like the sound of it, I don't think it is nice or beautiful. But, as I said I am going to wait since people are still fidling with it. Just because she is the most advanced, isn't tied down to any language, or the newest doesn't mean she have a good voice

[aninterestinusername]

I personally think she sounds like she's singing with her teeth clenched.

[AnimeEyes143]

have = has. Darn you subject agreement!

[Nekorin]

Well, they all sound like robots to me... I think I prefer a real singer. XD Still, for a robot I think Sonika sounds pretty nice...

[AnimeEyes143]

Haha. Yeah, but the fact they sound like pretty robots is what I love about them, and the fact they are not tied down to any specific genre or song type. I respect your opinion about Sonika, different ears different likes :3

[DeltaPhi79]

I know my comments were rated low so here's a good one... if they ever had a video to this (the Vocaloid one), they oughta have them looking all over the place for KAITO and Gakupo! XD

[ArtificialVoice]

Sonika seems like the English equivalent of Gumi. xD

She's my favorite English Vocaloid TBH :3

[coushcrew]

I love it^^

[DeltaPhi79]

WTF.... she's supposed to be made off of Vocaloid2. She sounds more like a robot than TETO! (I know she's an UTAU)

[2DandEdward129]

No if anything Sonika has more clarity then Teto and she pronounces english better.Meaning her singing is a lot clearer and the robotic sound doesn't override like Miku's. An example of that would be Luka and Miku singing magnet you notice how Miku's voice overrides Luka's?

It's easy to understand Sonika too.

[windyhitherto]

Nah, it depends on how the user programs the lyrics for them to sing. I mean, there's some decent English KAITO songs out there done by really talented people.

[DeltaPhi79]

Even some of the official ones sound odd. Although this is good since it's not an official song, it's still not.... great. XD

[windyhitherto]

I know what you mean by official versions not being the best. I always assume they've rushed it to be honest. ^ ^; I agree with you on this song though, it's not a masterpiece. But I'm still waiting for that epic song which everyone will know about so...

[DeltaPhi79]

That "epic song" that people SHOULD know about and used to be #1 is RIP=RELEASE!!!!! >:O

[Serenteit]

I dont even know which version is better, Luka or Sonika! They both pronounce some words better than the other and I like both of them alot. I'm so torn!

[utauADIIRU]

Hahaha~ Same. I'm sure in like 6 months, if someone redid this with Sonika, she'd probably be the best of the two. mostly because she's still new, there's less people using her, and they probably aren't used to her yet.

I hope Sonika get good and has more song.

*really wants to see an english vocaloid to good for a change*

[chi2468]

There's some english ones but they're not used often. Leon, Miriam and Sweet Ann.

[HeroKingAlgol]

I literally found out about SONIKA five minutes ago! She's amazing! Hope to see more in the future!

[flatuelas]

And in that video I find this song sung by

Sonika but the long version?

Please, comment on it so you know, with the name of the video is enough.

[lizSqueakers]

Woah, I love this.

At first I was a bit iffy about Sonika, but I like how she sounds in this!

[lxBlueStarxl]

*Sees Gakupo* Found the samurai. O: !

[LibraIsStubborn]

@lxBlueStarxl -steal- Where'd he go? O: -pretend shocked face-

[Kiriloidd]

Pretty... but looks a little like Megpoid.

[VocaloidMasterNaoru]

dosn't she? they look like they could be sisters ^^

[dewdropdragon]

It's like a really really simplified version of her.

[Crystal662]

she sonds a little robotic

[KouYamiAura]

That's to be expected...

[lordjakian]

0:58 - 1:02 is a bit rough.

Hey, I just found out about these. Awesome stuff. It makes me believe when robots become common place, they are all going to sound better a ton better then "Danger Will Robertson! Danger!"

[ALXXMaXX]

I do believe it's "Robinson".

[Aaron2071]

I read one comment on another video that does a great job explaining vocaloids (including Sonika)... How well they sing is not just dependent on the program, it depends on the USER. If you spend an EXTREMELY long time, you can make them sound identical to a human voice. If you rush, it'll sound choppy and bad. Vocaloids are tools, so how you use them will determine the product.

[charaknight]

how much does she cost

[KouYamiAura]

It depends. Most retailers that sell the program sell the bundle for $180, but if you go on the official site, they have a download-able version for $140.

(Planning on getting the cheaper version. xD)

[OctopiiOctopie]

about £100 +

[Sonamy87]

I believe Sonika was for japanese and english, no?

[ashabahn]

I read she can do any language because she can pronounce almost any consonant and vowel combo imaginable. o.o pretty amazing..

[kataradish]

get gakpo he's like that sonika
