Not once did I express my opinion in my explanations before, only during the time I called you self-centered did I show my opinion. The reason for that is because opinion of anyone is thrown out the window when rejecting a fact using an opinion. No matter how much of an expert you are, you can say the world is flat because that’s how you and your experts have believed and followed it,
You didn’t even seem to have taken notice of the fact that I matched your piano with a vocaloid. Both instruments are instruments that don’t do anything until used (and properly used). They both won’t know what the lyrics of the song mean; it’s the musicians using them that decide that.
Your example went nowhere. You can change the art, but it is still art. You can change the music/song, but it is still music/song. The table example was used to show that there are different ways music can be created other than your method, and you even agree that there are many methods to get the same thing when you previously mentioned there being only one method.
“You HAVE to use discretion when attempting to change it” Says who? You? cause you speak for the world again? Since making techno versions, remixes, and other versions of songs of original songs is considered “discrete” changing? Or do you not consider them music as well? Because remixes are like putting mona lisa’s head on her lap while her hands are put where her neck is suppose to be with the painting turned upside down. Strange painting, but is still art.
But anyways, drawing a mustache on the mona lisa is not going to make it something else other then art. The mona lisa is still art no matter what other editions you add or subtract from it, so long as you don’t erase the entire thing blank. The art will be different, but it’ll still be art. Music is different from original, but still music.
In honesty, your chicken example made no sense to me. Your art example isn’t even relevantly close to my example. First of all, we’re talking about someone copying the way the art looks and redrawing it, not drawing on the original because as you can see the original music video is still there when searched and isn’t replaced by teto’s. We weren’t even talking about keeping something alive.
And tell me. Do those musicians you know represent all the musicians in the world? Seeing as how you yourself believe that vocaloids are not instruments, you would most likely not “rub shoulders” with people you don’t agree with. You even agree that there are many means to achieve the same end, but just because you don’t follow it or your fellow musicians it doesn’t mean that other people don’t.
@LarryTheTubaBoy Not a single word in your texts seems to have appear to deny that human’s instrument of voice can also be hollow and empty because of deception (a sad singer singing a happy song, because she is paid to do it and is required to sound happy doing it), making voices just much as fake as vocaloids if vocaloids were by your words “hollow”. Therefore, vocaloids and human voices are both similar instruments.
(1)I found it quite amusing that you decided to reply back to my examples but not the points those examples were made for. You’re replies are quite “empty” and doesn’t even appear as if you understood what I even said nor did you even reply to half the main things I’ve said. Also, you digressed extremely off the main subjects, first vocaloids being instruments and second, vocaloids capable of being used to express one’s emotion. Those two things were the subject, not my opinion’s credibility.
@htarreva Your attempts at refuting what you think is a mere argument are admirable, if misguided. You called me egotistic because I had a clear opinion which you could not pin to anyone else. Fine. You also brought up a rather relevant point that there are many variations of the process by which musicians make music. Which rather raises the question: Since you invoke the stigma of diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, do you have a particular process for making music?
@htarreva I ask only because, as you said before, I have only one particular understanding of how music works, and how it should be created and nurtured. Never mind that I have put it to excellent use, and that I happen to play a dozen or so instruments, as my approach to each individual instrument does essentially follow the process I outlined for myself. How would YOU do it?
@htarreva I mean, it's easy to say that there is more than one way to skin a cat... that there are hundreds of ways, thousands, maybe as many ways to do it as there are cat-skinners out there, but unless you've actually relieved the kitty of its pelt, well, then, what you're saying is, in and of itself, a clumsy and sloppy generalization.
@htarreva My point being, unless you can prove that you have a unique understanding of the process of making music yourself (i.e. a song that you yourself covered or maybe even composed), all you're doing is blowing smoke up your ass. (Pardon my French.) Now, before I resumed this little diatribe of mine, I took the liberty of checking out your channel, just in case you were holding out on me. And, funny thing, I didn't see anything of the sort.
@htarreva Which brings me to your little table analogy. Clever. But again, it only really has relevance if the person who uses the analogy has ever built a table. I have built "tables" before. I have built them using different materials, and even different "methods" now and again, both alone and with the help of others. The process that I outlined is a lot more general than you think.
@htarreva Like I said before, you "see" the "table" in your mind, and then you try and replicate what you "see". As far as I (or any musician that I am aware of, for that matter, and I do tend to rub shoulders with them every now and again), that is the only way to make music. And yes, there are many means to the same end, as there are many musical instruments to choose from. Oh... that reminds me, what instrument/s do you play? After all, the method is no good if you can't put it to use.
@htarreva Now, you did make another good point in your otherwise wretched, exhausted little rant that was otherwise completely lacking in "common sense" (which, by the way, is a misnomer; if sense were common, there would be no wars and we'd all power our homes with solar panels) and that was that music is open to interpretation. As an avid listener, yes, I would agree. As a musician, however, I would agree to a lesser extent, and, in some cases, disagree. Why?
@htarreva Music, like all artforms, stems from the minds and hearts of men and women who are brave enough to share their thoughts and feelings with their peers. And, because they were gracious enough to take whatever their inspiration may have been, and give it form so that others could appreciate it, it belongs to them. You or I as a listener can add or take away from the experience of LISTENING to music whatever we see fit, as indeed you evidently have already, in the case of this song.
@htarreva However, CHANGING the song... that is a different matter. A song, like a painting, or a poem, is, in many ways, alive. In order to keep it alive, you have to use discretion when attempting to change it. To use an analogy (and hopefully, teach you the correct way of using them, since they DO have to be relevant in order to work), suppose you took a chicken and then gave it lungs that were only capable of absorbing ozone, instead of normal oxygen? Would it survive?
@htarreva Or, if that picture doesn't work, let's get back to art. Let's say I wanted to redo the Mona Lisa, okay? But I felt she needed something to ease the tension, and make it a little less ambiguous, because, after all, by your logic, there must be hundreds of ways Da Vinci could have painted her. So I slap a big ol' mustache on her face. There, now the picture makes sense to me. Now, her smile is warm and benevolent, like my grandfather's, and it makes use of the negative space on her lip.
@htarreva And, in case you're wondering why I, who have no knowledge of painting, would dare alter the Mona Lisa, well, now you know what I was thinking when I clicked the link that brought me to this video. Sure, maybe the person who arranged this Utau rendition thought the original was completely bogus, and threw this together not as a mockery, but as they thought the song should have sounded.
@htarreva Does that mean you think the original is somehow inferior to this version because it was NOT sung by your beloved Teto-chan? That could explain this little disparity, our divergence of opinion. But then that would mean you're an utter tool, because you think this is art on the basis that the cute little pink-haired chibi girl sang it, and isn't she tottemo kawaii? But I'm not gonna sell you short like that, as tempting as it is, because I know what the real issue here is.
@htarreva The real issue here is not that I, in my arrogance and conceit, have an opinion that this cover of Lilium is crap. The problem is, you don't have enough of an opinion to qualify my statement, or yours.
You: No it's not, it's just baked differently than you think it should be.
Me: So you think it should be injection molded from plastic?
You: Well, why not? Tables can be made from plastic.
Me? Do you like the way a table tastes? Or do you eat it anyway because your friends eat table and one of them said that in Japan they eat tables? Because I have tasted cake, I've even baked a few, and this doesn't taste like triple chocolate to me.
but it’s not. Meaning you can try boosting your words by saying that other musicians agree, but it is not going to change the fact that vocaloids are instruments of music and emotion.
I’m stating facts that there are different ways to produce music, vocaloids being one of them among the mass of instruments that produce music. There is more than one way do to anything, that is a fact, turning on a lamp, swimming, running. Tell me one other thing other then music that follows a single method since you’re so closed on music having only one method.
You’re stating opinions of how you and your friends do things, how you guys create music in the same fashion and therefore believe that there is the only one process. You create a table in your own way, while there are other ways to make it as you said it yourself. Vocaloid also create music in another way, it’s an instrument that works differently to achieve the same thing.
I’m not even quite sure how a cake and eating a table connect, both of those is in little ways similar to each other, but fine, inject plastic into a cake, it’ll still be cake as there are different types of cake like poisonous cakes as there are poisonous snakes while there are regular cakes with regular snakes that aren’t poisonous. They are still both what they are, a cake and a snake. Cause it taste different when you eat it doesn’t make it less of a cake.
“Music, like all artforms, stems from the minds and hearts of men and women who are brave enough to share their thoughts and feelings with their peers. And, because they were gracious enough to take whatever their inspiration may have been, and give it form so that others could appreciate it, it belongs to them.”
I like your quote, and I repeated your quote, but do you know why? Because the person who made this music put his mind and heart into it and was brave enough to share it with the peers here, and because he or she was gracious enough to take his/her inspiration of the original song, and put it out here so that others can appreciate it, but you spit on it and say his work is fake, hollow, bogus, and crap.
To make things clear, I love both the original’s, teto’s , and gumi’s. I love music in general and all the effort people put into making them, like the one who produced this one. You as a musician should know how it feels to have your efforts belittled, and yet you belittle and step on the efforts of others who try to create music. The ones who use vocaloids put time and effort into creating music that viewers like here enjoy, but you soil it.
You don’t want your cherished way of music mocked, and yet you come here and mock other people’s way of music, like the way of music that people here enjoy and shed tears to. You’re not a musician. You’re a hypocrite.
(end)@LarryTheTubaBoy Actually I’m done talking to you now. Go back to where you came from then come back once you become a real musician who can appreciate all forms of music and musical instruments, you piece of shit.
@htarreva TL:DR (It was probably more of the same pedantic ramblings) but I will say this for posterity's sake: If you like this song you can have it. The fact still remains that I think this version is awful compared to the original and no diatribe, no matter how scathingly idiotic, is going to change my opinion. I find it amusing that you let me egg you on for so long, so I'll leave you with some advice: Get a life.
You: "Because it only tries to look like the cake, but doesn't taste as good as the originall"
Else: "Well, I think it tastes better"
You: "Well you're wrong because I've tasted cakes before. Therefore whatever i say about cakes is right."
Like i said before, different people, and just because the cake second copy, tastes a little different, looks a little different, is a little different, it doesn't make it any less of a cake.
Different culture, different people, different music, different processes, different instruments. Large parts of Japan seems to view vocaloid songs as music and even many people in other parts of the world seem to think so as well. Like a book, the lyrics can be interpreted differently by different people and then reproduced differently. Just because it doesn’t follow the original doesn’t make it any less of a music.
For example, maybe the one who recreated this song using a vocaloid thought those nuances of yours were unneeded and therefore removed them? Cause the one who created this one interpreted the meaning of the lyrics differently. Maybe he even made it so it was suppose to sound hollow because he thought the lyrics were hollow? So is it music now, since it was suppose to sound hollow? It’s not music because it doesn’t follow your view of how it should be? Right?
Adding another note. I can literally see how self centered and egotistic you are by reading your words. Just because vocaloids don't follow YOUR music process and YOUR perception of real instruments then it doesn't make it an instrument? Because you "understand" music you must be right? The singer sold YOU the song, so that means the singer connected emotionally since YOU understanding music knows that the girl sung the song the way it should be sung, and that there is only one emotional meaning
“once you've written out a melody line and taught it some pretty words to say, the performance is out of your hands. There is no joy to be had in having shaped the notes yourself.” You say there is no joy in shaping the notes, and yet you can add crescendos, pitches, velocities, and masses more to the vocaloid’s voice. Where in that is there an absence of involvement in creating the notes oneself? The performance was always in the person’s palm, once he finishes it he shows it like an art work.
The v.s could remember the settings for the sound he wants and play it on stage in a live audience, where he plays/adjusts each word there, but that would take considerable time. Though by your definition, that would be considered music oddly, because the performer is there performing. So why not shorten it and play it all at once? The only difference between “the instrument” and the vocaloid is the length it takes to make the wanted.
@LarryTheTubaBoy The sound of the drum depends on how the drummer hits it, and so like the Vocaloid song makers (call them v.s for now), both people will decide how (ex.) deep or high the sound the instrument will produce before hitting the drum/play button. Once the area is perfected, the musician will move on to the next flaw. When complete, they will both record it and post it so that people can hear them.
@LarryTheTubaBoy The performer of the vocaloid songs are at all times within the performance. The person will craft a song and play it, like any musician, once he creates his song he will go back to it and tune it and adjust certain parts of the song that sounds off to him. As no musician can obtain the perfect song without practice and adjustment, everyone will go back and replay the part and adjust it until it sounds perfect to them during their own solitude and then present it.
@LarryTheTubaBoy A vocaloid sits and does nothing in a computer until a person uses it. You click buttons and the vocaloid will produce a sound. No matter how much you put your heart into it, the vocaloid will not sing unless you put your hands on the keyboard and mouse, same as your example. Tell the piano if it knows the phrase and see if it understands because it won't. However, the person who created the vocaloid song may know the meaning and change the sounds to the way he understands it.
I love this song so much, and I don't exactly think it fits Teto very well as much as I like her. This song holds alot of pain and it's very powerful. I cry each time I hear it. But this time, I didn't cry.
@thezora911 I'm sorry, it doesn't matter how powerful the computer is or how sophisticated the voice algorithms are, the simple fact remains that this song is full of emotion-based nuance that a computer just can't recreate. Without these nuances, the song becomes... hollow. Like a mannequin. Something you might understand if you actually liked music. But then again, anyone who takes Vocaloid and Utau to be legitimate music-making tools is just a tool themselves. I can't sugar-coat it.
@LarryTheTubaBoy As singers express their emotions through their voice, as violinists express their emotions through the violin held in their hands, and artists through work produced from brush or pencil, they are all the same as vocaloids and utaus are also instruments to express one's emotions. An emotion recreated using different instruments by different people will be different as those differences are what makes it beautiful. This song is full and beautiful in its own way.
@htarreva Your argument is crippled by fallacy. Utau and other vocal synthesizers are NOT musical instruments in any sense of the word. They are toys.
@LarryTheTubaBoy You say my argument is crippled by fallacy, but you point out none in it. You also seem to declare vocaloids and utaus a toy, and yet point out nothing to backup your words. Hmm. I want you to find a video or make a video that recreates the "The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku" using a real human vocal that surpasses the emotions the "toy" projected onto the million viewers. I'm sure this shouldn't be a difficult task as a real voice can easily best a "toy", no?
@htarreva Since you obviously don't understand the principles of rhetoric, I'll explain: The fallacy was that you claimed Vocal synths to be musical instruments. Just so you know. And I never "declared" anything, I, as a professional musician, made a simple factual statement. I will look up this Disappearance you claim has you so enthralled and overcome by emotion, and then I'll speak my piece on that. In the meantime, I will tell you exactly why vocaloid and the like are toys.
@htarreva Vocaloid, Utau, and other vocal synths work like midi arrangers. You take an interface that allows a user to program some music for it to play. Then you assign an instrument to it, right? Same general principle for any vocal synth out on the market. Here's why it's NOT a musical instrument. At no point during the "performance" is a musician (or ANY person, for that matter) involved in any process that causes the vocal synth to make sound. Allow me to explain.
@htarreva Take any REAL musical instrument. A piano usually sits in the corner of a room, silent until you strike a key. Then it plays a note. You could pick up a trumpet, even press the valves to your heart's content, and it wouldn't so much as squawk at you until you put your lips to the mouthpiece and blew. Even the Theremin, arguably the easiest instrument to play, requires you to wave your hand at it in order to make a sound.
@htarreva My point is (since I obviously have to point it out to you so you know where it is) that music is a process. The sequence begins with a thought (one hears the music first, note by note) and then a series of actions upon an instrument IN REAL TIME (hitting the keys on the piano in the order that the music dictates) and then getting a consequence (the sound of the notes coming from the strings of the piano). Hell, even the crappiest DJ chopping and splicing beats is a musician in a way.
@htarreva But the fact remains, once you've written out a melody line and taught it some pretty words to say, the performance is out of your hands. There is no joy to be had in having shaped the notes yourself. You're too far removed from the process of making music, and that I'm afraid, is what music is all about: being involved in the process. Anyone who truly appreciates music as an artform knows this, whether they play an instrument or not.
@htarreva You can talk to me all day about musicians expressing their emotions through their instruments (I thought that was rich, by the way) but unless you understand the process which connects them through their respective instruments to the music itself, you have no room to talk to me about what is or is not a musical instrument. I wouldn't have bothered saying anything about this video if it had been Hatsune Miku covering Hare Hare Yukai or some other fluffy piece of pseudo-music.
@htarreva However, the original singer of this song did something that very few people, even among those who have the gall to call themselves musicians these days, can accomplish. She sold me on the song. Not only does she have an amazing technique, but she connected with the piece emotionally. Which means she knew what the lyrics meant, despite them being in an all-but-dead language nothing like Japanese.
@htarreva Do you know what the phrase, "Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison" means? It translates, "Lord, Heavenly Fire, have mercy." Do you think Kasane Teto could even begin to understand the phrase, or the fact that it's a desperate prayer to God? Do you think she could feel the despair deep in the bowels of her circuits, and force the line past the knot in her nonexistent throat, quivering, skirting the edge of tears? Because I didn't hear her come anywhere near that.
@htarreva Now, I didn't mean to write an essay on the subject of what music is, and I believe in a little harmless fun with an intriguing new toy such as Utau. But I wouldn't be the person I am if I sat of to the side and let fools make a mockery of the thing I cherish so much without at least educating them about what it truly is. When I clicked this video, I expected to hear a cover by a human being. What I got was a crude facsimile in plastic.
You claim that vocaloids and utaus are not instruments based on the fact that they are “hallow” to you, then human beings and their own voices are no different. Many people sing for their own greed, they pretend to be sad or happy in songs so that they earn money. The innocent sounding girl within a song could very well be a whore, where as the “emotion” you so claim that humans have that vocaloids don’t could be a fake, quality won’t matter as the entire song would be a lie.
Previously stated, vocaloids are instruments of emotional connection. Once you complete them, you show them to the public where as “people like you” see it as hallow because it wasn’t produced during the “performance” of it. Then art must also be emotionless as well? A painter puts his emotions into his brushes and yet by your words it doesn’t exist since he clearly didn’t paint it during the time he shows the completed version? I added art example because your own musical arrogance blinds you.
People are different, people connect to music differently, only in a narrow minded peron’s opinion will there be only one definite way to connect to an instrument. Do you speak for the world? Lastly, your “process” of music also seems to be a very personal opinion of yours because I don’t seem to find it anywhere that the creation of music must follow your way, as the only thing I found is that there are “divergent methods and styles of the process”, so let me enlighten you with common sense.
If there are two tables created from two different materials by two different methods. One in steel and by technology, while the other in wood and by hand. The process of creating both tables was different, where the technology just smelted the steel into table form while the hand created it piece by piece. So let me ask you. Is either of the two tables not a table cause it was created differently? No, they are both tables.
Vocaloids and Human voices both produce music in different ways with similarities. Both people think of a song, both repeat sounds until they get it the way they want, both remember it (Brain/Computer), both move on to the next part, both come to the conclusion that they mastered it, both sing/play it away. They both will not sound the same, but that’s because they are both two different instruments.
Like the Violin and the Viola, Vocaloids and Human voices are in the same family of musical instruments, they both can make similar music with differences that makes each of them beautiful. (And my apologizes for the others here)
...Don't get me wrong, I love this version. But it's kinda funny how I'm listening to it now and I'm going, "oh hey that's not the pronunciation at all." Oh well. Teto sounds nice either way. This is one of the few cases where I actually like how she's used.
For so little views (Comparing this to the one million views and such)
This video has a lot of comments... I can see why though, the song just moves you, to a point where you have to share what you feel with the world! I've commented on this before, but after listening to it again I have to say what I said from this song, I have to listen to this song about 100 times before I can fully take it all in.
@rsngmn but do remember tht they do originally sing in japanese of course pronuciation of latin would not b correct but it sounds amazing eather grammerly correct or not. :3
I listened to this while playing rainy day mood, as FullMetalAwesome7 suggested... Oooh, that makes a bigger difference than I though it would! It gave me shivers, it sounds so beautiful! *w*
This song is so beautiful i'm glad it was the opening to Elfen Lied because it fit so well to the anime. Elfen Lied was the first anime to strike a nerve in my heart<3
@stalkersierra7 I don't know if you realized.... but it's the same song, the only difference is that the one Teto's singing here is the extended version.
@FullMetalAwesome7 Woah your right! the rain makes you picture a scene of something quite beautiful in your head.. though im not quite sure what it is
I Love Teto and I love Miku... but I feel this song was best in it's original state. Do not misunderstand. These are amazing but this is one of the few that the original can not be topped IMO :3
Im actually watching this for my deceased poor cat who died yesterday.... Oh, Rufie, may you rest in peace... *sob sob* I had to give you to my dad with Daphne and the kittens... But now youre DEAD!! and I know I shouldnt be calling you Rufie in front of all these ppl... I walked out of my dads onto grannys lawn yesterday and saw you on the driveway, dead, with your pretty tortie fur covered in blood... I miss you Rufin, I hope ur happy up there in cat heaven...*sob*
@kitkithidan I had to give my Daphy away too and the kittens and said dead cat that I was listening to this for... D: now I am tearing up because a car or a lawn mower or something ran over Rufin, I found him and there was blood all over the place and I am SO gonna SUE THE DRIVER TO DEATH FOR KILLING MY TORTIE CAT!!! He will burn in people hell, and I will go to people heaven and meet my kitty there when I die and I will be youthful as he remembered me. O,,_,,O FU MANCHU FACE FOR YOU, DRIVER!
I dunno, Teto's version seems to have more...feeling than the others. Dark/Solid append Miku, Luka, Gumi, and Lily do this song good, but Teto just seems to blow them them out of the water.
I see htarreva has taken over the comment section.
I'll just go......

(Pardon my French.) Now, before I resumed this little diatribe of mine, I took the liberty of checking out your channel, just in case you were holding out on me. And, funny thing, I didn't see anything of the sort.

@htarreva Which brings me to your little table analogy. Clever. But again, it only really has relevance if the person who uses the analogy has ever built a table. I have built "tables" before. I have built them using different materials, and even different "methods" now and again, both alone and with the help of others. The process that I outlined is a lot more general than you think.
LarryTheTubaBoy 4 days ago
@htarreva Like I said before, you "see" the "table" in your mind, and then you try and replicate what you "see". As far as I (or any musician that I am aware of, for that matter, and I do tend to rub shoulders with them every now and again), that is the only way to make music. And yes, there are many means to the same end, as there are many musical instruments to choose from. Oh... that reminds me, what instrument/s do you play? After all, the method is no good if you can't put it to use.

@htarreva Now, you did make another good point in your otherwise wretched, exhausted little rant that was otherwise completely lacking in "common sense" (which, by the way, is a misnomer; if sense were common, there would be no wars and we'd all power our homes with solar panels) and that was that music is open to interpretation. As an avid listener, yes, I would agree. As a musician, however, I would agree to a lesser extent, and, in some cases, disagree. Why?
LarryTheTubaBoy 4 days ago
@htarreva Music, like all artforms, stems from the minds and hearts of men and women who are brave enough to share their thoughts and feelings with their peers. And, because they were gracious enough to take whatever their inspiration may have been, and give it form so that others could appreciate it, it belongs to them. You or I as a listener can add or take away from the experience of LISTENING to music whatever we see fit, as indeed you evidently have already, in the case of this song.
LarryTheTubaBoy 4 days ago
@htarreva However, CHANGING the song... that is a different matter. A song, like a painting, or a poem, is, in many ways, alive. In order to keep it alive, you have to use discretion when attempting to change it. To use an analogy (and hopefully, teach you the correct way of using them, since they DO have to be relevant in order to work), suppose you took a chicken and then gave it lungs that were only capable of absorbing ozone, instead of normal oxygen? Would it survive?

@htarreva Or, if that picture doesn't work, let's get back to art. Let's say I wanted to redo the Mona Lisa, okay? But I felt she needed something to ease the tension, and make it a little less ambiguous, because, after all, by your logic, there must be hundreds of ways Da Vinci could have painted her. So I slap a big ol' mustache on her face. There, now the picture makes sense to me. Now, her smile is warm and benevolent, like my grandfather's, and it makes use of the negative space on her lip.

@htarreva And, in case you're wondering why I, who have no knowledge of painting, would dare alter the Mona Lisa, well, now you know what I was thinking when I clicked the link that brought me to this video. Sure, maybe the person who arranged this Utau rendition thought the original was completely bogus, and threw this together not as a mockery, but as they thought the song should have sounded.
LarryTheTubaBoy 4 days ago
@htarreva Does that mean you think the original is somehow inferior to this version because it was NOT sung by your beloved Teto-chan? That could explain this little disparity, our divergence of opinion. But then that would mean you're an utter tool, because you think this is art on the basis that the cute little pink-haired chibi girl sang it, and isn't she tottemo kawaii? But I'm not gonna sell you short like that, as tempting as it is, because I know what the real issue here is.

but it’s not. Meaning you can try boosting your words by saying that other musicians agree, but it is not going to change the fact that vocaloids are instruments of music and emotion.
htarreva 2 days ago
I’m stating facts that there are different ways to produce music, vocaloids being one of them among the mass of instruments that produce music. There is more than one way do to anything, that is a fact, turning on a lamp, swimming, running. Tell me one other thing other then music that follows a single method since you’re so closed on music having only one method.
htarreva 2 days ago
You’re stating opinions of how you and your friends do things, how you guys create music in the same fashion and therefore believe that there is the only one process. You create a table in your own way, while there are other ways to make it as you said it yourself. Vocaloid also create music in another way, it’s an instrument that works differently to achieve the same thing.

I’m not even quite sure how a cake and eating a table connect, both of those is in little ways similar to each other, but fine, inject plastic into a cake, it’ll still be cake as there are different types of cake like poisonous cakes as there are poisonous snakes while there are regular cakes with regular snakes that aren’t poisonous. They are still both what they are, a cake and a snake. Cause it taste different when you eat it doesn’t make it less of a cake.

To make things clear, I love both the original’s, teto’s , and gumi’s. I love music in general and all the effort people put into making them, like the one who produced this one. You as a musician should know how it feels to have your efforts belittled, and yet you belittle and step on the efforts of others who try to create music. The ones who use vocaloids put time and effort into creating music that viewers like here enjoy, but you soil it.

@htarreva TL:DR (It was probably more of the same pedantic ramblings) but I will say this for posterity's sake: If you like this song you can have it. The fact still remains that I think this version is awful compared to the original and no diatribe, no matter how scathingly idiotic, is going to change my opinion. I find it amusing that you let me egg you on for so long, so I'll leave you with some advice: Get a life.

You: "Well you're wrong because I've tasted cakes before. Therefore whatever i say about cakes is right."
Like i said before, different people, and just because the cake second copy, tastes a little different, looks a little different, is a little different, it doesn't make it any less of a cake.
htarreva 6 days ago
Different culture, different people, different music, different processes, different instruments. Large parts of Japan seems to view vocaloid songs as music and even many people in other parts of the world seem to think so as well. Like a book, the lyrics can be interpreted differently by different people and then reproduced differently. Just because it doesn’t follow the original doesn’t make it any less of a music.
htarreva 6 days ago
For example, maybe the one who recreated this song using a vocaloid thought those nuances of yours were unneeded and therefore removed them? Cause the one who created this one interpreted the meaning of the lyrics differently. Maybe he even made it so it was suppose to sound hollow because he thought the lyrics were hollow? So is it music now, since it was suppose to sound hollow? It’s not music because it doesn’t follow your view of how it should be? Right?
htarreva 6 days ago
Adding another note. I can literally see how self centered and egotistic you are by reading your words. Just because vocaloids don't follow YOUR music process and YOUR perception of real instruments then it doesn't make it an instrument? Because you "understand" music you must be right? The singer sold YOU the song, so that means the singer connected emotionally since YOU understanding music knows that the girl sung the song the way it should be sung, and that there is only one emotional meaning
htarreva 6 days ago
“once you've written out a melody line and taught it some pretty words to say, the performance is out of your hands. There is no joy to be had in having shaped the notes yourself.” You say there is no joy in shaping the notes, and yet you can add crescendos, pitches, velocities, and masses more to the vocaloid’s voice. Where in that is there an absence of involvement in creating the notes oneself? The performance was always in the person’s palm, once he finishes it he shows it like an art work.
htarreva 6 days ago
The v.s could remember the settings for the sound he wants and play it on stage in a live audience, where he plays/adjusts each word there, but that would take considerable time. Though by your definition, that would be considered music oddly, because the performer is there performing. So why not shorten it and play it all at once? The only difference between “the instrument” and the vocaloid is the length it takes to make the wanted.
htarreva 6 days ago
@LarryTheTubaBoy The sound of the drum depends on how the drummer hits it, and so like the Vocaloid song makers (call them v.s for now), both people will decide how (ex.) deep or high the sound the instrument will produce before hitting the drum/play button. Once the area is perfected, the musician will move on to the next flaw. When complete, they will both record it and post it so that people can hear them.
htarreva 6 days ago
@LarryTheTubaBoy The performer of the vocaloid songs are at all times within the performance. The person will craft a song and play it, like any musician, once he creates his song he will go back to it and tune it and adjust certain parts of the song that sounds off to him. As no musician can obtain the perfect song without practice and adjustment, everyone will go back and replay the part and adjust it until it sounds perfect to them during their own solitude and then present it.
htarreva 6 days ago
@LarryTheTubaBoy A vocaloid sits and does nothing in a computer until a person uses it. You click buttons and the vocaloid will produce a sound. No matter how much you put your heart into it, the vocaloid will not sing unless you put your hands on the keyboard and mouse, same as your example. Tell the piano if it knows the phrase and see if it understands because it won't. However, the person who created the vocaloid song may know the meaning and change the sounds to the way he understands it.

thezora911 1 week ago
@thezora911 I'm sorry, it doesn't matter how powerful the computer is or how sophisticated the voice algorithms are, the simple fact remains that this song is full of emotion-based nuance that a computer just can't recreate. Without these nuances, the song becomes... hollow. Like a mannequin. Something you might understand if you actually liked music. But then again, anyone who takes Vocaloid and Utau to be legitimate music-making tools is just a tool themselves. I can't sugar-coat it.
LarryTheTubaBoy 1 week ago
@LarryTheTubaBoy As singers express their emotions through their voice, as violinists express their emotions through the violin held in their hands, and artists through work produced from brush or pencil, they are all the same as vocaloids and utaus are also instruments to express one's emotions. An emotion recreated using different instruments by different people will be different as those differences are what makes it beautiful. This song is full and beautiful in its own way.

@htarreva Your argument is crippled by fallacy. Utau and other vocal synthesizers are NOT musical instruments in any sense of the word. They are toys.
LarryTheTubaBoy 1 week ago
@LarryTheTubaBoy You say my argument is crippled by fallacy, but you point out none in it. You also seem to declare vocaloids and utaus a toy, and yet point out nothing to backup your words. Hmm. I want you to find a video or make a video that recreates the "The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku" using a real human vocal that surpasses the emotions the "toy" projected onto the million viewers. I'm sure this shouldn't be a difficult task as a real voice can easily best a "toy", no?
htarreva 1 week ago
@htarreva Since you obviously don't understand the principles of rhetoric, I'll explain: The fallacy was that you claimed Vocal synths to be musical instruments. Just so you know. And I never "declared" anything, I, as a professional musician, made a simple factual statement. I will look up this Disappearance you claim has you so enthralled and overcome by emotion, and then I'll speak my piece on that. In the meantime, I will tell you exactly why vocaloid and the like are toys.
LarryTheTubaBoy 6 days ago
@htarreva Vocaloid, Utau, and other vocal synths work like midi arrangers. You take an interface that allows a user to program some music for it to play. Then you assign an instrument to it, right? Same general principle for any vocal synth out on the market. Here's why it's NOT a musical instrument. At no point during the "performance" is a musician (or ANY person, for that matter) involved in any process that causes the vocal synth to make sound. Allow me to explain.
LarryTheTubaBoy 6 days ago
@htarreva Take any REAL musical instrument. A piano usually sits in the corner of a room, silent until you strike a key. Then it plays a note. You could pick up a trumpet, even press the valves to your heart's content, and it wouldn't so much as squawk at you until you put your lips to the mouthpiece and blew. Even the Theremin, arguably the easiest instrument to play, requires you to wave your hand at it in order to make a sound.
LarryTheTubaBoy 6 days ago
@htarreva My point is (since I obviously have to point it out to you so you know where it is) that music is a process. The sequence begins with a thought (one hears the music first, note by note) and then a series of actions upon an instrument IN REAL TIME (hitting the keys on the piano in the order that the music dictates) and then getting a consequence (the sound of the notes coming from the strings of the piano). Hell, even the crappiest DJ chopping and splicing beats is a musician in a way.
LarryTheTubaBoy 6 days ago
@htarreva But the fact remains, once you've written out a melody line and taught it some pretty words to say, the performance is out of your hands. There is no joy to be had in having shaped the notes yourself. You're too far removed from the process of making music, and that I'm afraid, is what music is all about: being involved in the process. Anyone who truly appreciates music as an artform knows this, whether they play an instrument or not.
LarryTheTubaBoy 6 days ago
@htarreva You can talk to me all day about musicians expressing their emotions through their instruments (I thought that was rich, by the way) but unless you understand the process which connects them through their respective instruments to the music itself, you have no room to talk to me about what is or is not a musical instrument. I wouldn't have bothered saying anything about this video if it had been Hatsune Miku covering Hare Hare Yukai or some other fluffy piece of pseudo-music.
LarryTheTubaBoy 6 days ago
@htarreva However, the original singer of this song did something that very few people, even among those who have the gall to call themselves musicians these days, can accomplish. She sold me on the song. Not only does she have an amazing technique, but she connected with the piece emotionally. Which means she knew what the lyrics meant, despite them being in an all-but-dead language nothing like Japanese.
LarryTheTubaBoy 6 days ago
@htarreva Do you know what the phrase, "Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison" means? It translates, "Lord, Heavenly Fire, have mercy." Do you think Kasane Teto could even begin to understand the phrase, or the fact that it's a desperate prayer to God? Do you think she could feel the despair deep in the bowels of her circuits, and force the line past the knot in her nonexistent throat, quivering, skirting the edge of tears? Because I didn't hear her come anywhere near that.
LarryTheTubaBoy 6 days ago
@htarreva Now, I didn't mean to write an essay on the subject of what music is, and I believe in a little harmless fun with an intriguing new toy such as Utau. But I wouldn't be the person I am if I sat of to the side and let fools make a mockery of the thing I cherish so much without at least educating them about what it truly is. When I clicked this video, I expected to hear a cover by a human being. What I got was a crude facsimile in plastic.

If the creator didn’t like the performance, he can always fix the areas he didn’t like and show it all over again.
htarreva 6 days ago
You claim that vocaloids and utaus are not instruments based on the fact that they are “hallow” to you, then human beings and their own voices are no different. Many people sing for their own greed, they pretend to be sad or happy in songs so that they earn money. The innocent sounding girl within a song could very well be a whore, where as the “emotion” you so claim that humans have that vocaloids don’t could be a fake, quality won’t matter as the entire song would be a lie.
htarreva 6 days ago
Previously stated, vocaloids are instruments of emotional connection. Once you complete them, you show them to the public where as “people like you” see it as hallow because it wasn’t produced during the “performance” of it. Then art must also be emotionless as well? A painter puts his emotions into his brushes and yet by your words it doesn’t exist since he clearly didn’t paint it during the time he shows the completed version? I added art example because your own musical arrogance blinds you.
htarreva 6 days ago
People are different, people connect to music differently, only in a narrow minded peron’s opinion will there be only one definite way to connect to an instrument. Do you speak for the world? Lastly, your “process” of music also seems to be a very personal opinion of yours because I don’t seem to find it anywhere that the creation of music must follow your way, as the only thing I found is that there are “divergent methods and styles of the process”, so let me enlighten you with common sense.
htarreva 6 days ago
If there are two tables created from two different materials by two different methods. One in steel and by technology, while the other in wood and by hand. The process of creating both tables was different, where the technology just smelted the steel into table form while the hand created it piece by piece. So let me ask you. Is either of the two tables not a table cause it was created differently? No, they are both tables.
htarreva 6 days ago
Vocaloids and Human voices both produce music in different ways with similarities. Both people think of a song, both repeat sounds until they get it the way they want, both remember it (Brain/Computer), both move on to the next part, both come to the conclusion that they mastered it, both sing/play it away. They both will not sound the same, but that’s because they are both two different instruments.
htarreva 6 days ago
Like the Violin and the Viola, Vocaloids and Human voices are in the same family of musical instruments, they both can make similar music with differences that makes each of them beautiful. (And my apologizes for the others here)

Go to google and type in "Rainy mood" and click the first link that comes up.
Then play it with this song. (You might want to turn up the volume on the video)
:) Its quite amazing.

I Love Teto and I love Miku... but I feel this song was best in it's original state. Do not misunderstand. These are amazing but this is one of the few that the original can not be topped IMO :3

WHY is she singing in Latin? Oh, right. She might have IMC. She wasnt immunized against it.

I dunno, Teto's version seems to have more...feeling than the others. Dark/Solid append Miku, Luka, Gumi, and Lily do this song good, but Teto just seems to blow them them out of the water.
