  • I think she is the best english ocaoid and i think that she is theonly one who wasnt made for opera

  • @500loveanime Oliver, Big Al, Sweet Ann, Leon, and Lola were not made for opera...only Prima and Tonio were made specifically for opera.

  • This sort of reminds me of the songs from the show Jem for whatever reason

  • love the music! and her voice sounds really good, so kawaii!

  • You guys speak the English language.The English Language has WAY MORE sounds than any other language. The Japanese language has around 300-500 sounds? Um, you think that is hard, the English Language has about 3,500 sounds or more. Have you ever heard you're teacher say that the English language is the hardest to learn? Well, they are right. I had to learn it in a year before starting school because my first language is Spanish, it was hard for me to learn English. Look at Microsoft Anna?

  • @xRukiaxIchigofanx Sounds? No, no. For characters, that may be true, but the Japanese language has 5 different sounds, one for each vowel. Each character is, when romanized, a letter (k, s, t, ch, sh, n, m, r, y, w) combined with one of the vowels. Their alphabet contains of 46 characters. You double that, since they have both hiragana and katakana, both systems 46 characters with the same readings, then punctuation symbols. In total that's about 120 symbols, but 5 key sounds.

  • @xRukiaxIchigofanx Then there's the kanji, or the Chinese characters, and while there are at least a thousand of those, every reading consists of one to four characters from the alphabet, so one to four key sounds. English has well over a few thousand sounds, but Japanese has 5 key 'sounds'.

  • LOL People saying Engloids suck? I like all bot vocaloids and check out cheezitsareyummy and vocacircus (i think it is. Matt6fives new channel) uses englids and japanese vocaloids like a pro and make em sing amazing english!

  • What I find funny is that a lot of people hate on the English Vocaloids and say that they suck and that the Japanese Vocaloids are much better. But they gotta remember, if it weren't for the first Vocaloids(which let me remind you were English) there wouldn't be the other Vocaloids which we all know and love today. And like the other top commenter is saying it is much harder to make and English Vocaloid song.

  • Do you guys know how much harder it is to make an English voicebank than it is to make a Japanese one? Cut them some slack.

    I read somewhere that it takes a few 4-hour days to record a Japanese one where it can take anything up to a month and beyond to get all of the English phoenemes and whatever else we have recorded. It's not perfect but they're working on it - there just isn't a lot of market incentive considering vocaloids are used more openly in Japan and Asia than in the Western world.

  • @StarsingClaw The thing is that barely effect the quality of the Vocaloid, because the language has almost no effect on quality. All Vocaloids are almost equally robotic and understandable. Granted the newer the Vocaloid the better quality they are, but it all depends on the user.

    J-loids are just used by more professionals than Engloids.

    Plus if someone can make Iku Acme sing, then any Vocaloid can be made to sing well.

  • i like her voice a little bit....but she looks slightly like gumi so its awkward XD

  • Everyone in my family loves playing Just Dance.

    This song is my mom's favorite song to dance to.

    Cosplay Lightbulb!

  • @Panda000People good for your mother! ;D

  • English is hard, okay? It's very hard to speak and understand it when humans speak it, so when you make a Vocaloid who can sing perfect, flawless English, let me know.

  • She's my favorite vocaloid ♥

  • I kinda like Sonika in this. It's gotta sweetness to it like pineapples. I dont hear a gumminess to it or a cotton-in-the-mouth whatever it is. She sounds pretty nice. The accent makes it a little cooler.

  • All Crypton Vocaloid suck. 

  • I wonder if this is what vocaloid sounds like to Japanese ppl

  • She is a good Vocaloid, but I'm a native English speaker and couldn't understand a goddamn word she's saying.

  • @LouiseBubbles18 So you couldnt understant when she said "You can ring my bell, you can ring my bell. Ding Dong Ding Dooong." And those parts. I think she's understandable and i'm a native English speaker too i: .

  • @SuperFlashfish I could get a little of the chorus but that's it~

  • @LouiseBubbles18

    English was my first language, and I didn't catch ANYTHING she said. It's okay.

  • 0:33 i pooped out whiny bitches xD

  • Is she speaking English?

  • All English Vocaloids suck? Opinions opinions, people.

  • I wish her voice a little more fuller and I think this would sound much better.

  • is this vocaloid's japan accent? ))

    sounds awfull

  • @keldn Nah, she's an English vocaloid... they all pretty much suck...

  • @GameAddictedGal THANK YOU FINALLY SOMEONE SMART!!!!!

  • @GameAddictedGal You do know the English language is harder to program into a vocaloid then say, Japanese right? 

  • @PointsofData Yes. Of course. That's why they sound weird most of the time... what I meant was that their voices are always a bit... off-sounding. I mean, I don't mind Leon. Lola is good, too. AND I LOVE SWEET ANNE'S VOICE!!! Prima and Tonio sound good if used for the right song. It's just Sonika that I really don't like too much... especially in this song, which doesn't suit her voice one bit.

    Plus, look up Cheezitsisyummy. You have to be exceptionally awesome to use an English Vocaloid well.

  • @GameAddictedGal Ah ok. Sorry then. It's just I tend to get defensive about the English vocaloids, especially Sweet Ann, since some people automatically think they suck because they're not Japanese. :X But I understand where you're coming from.

  • @PointsofData :) yeah Sweet Ann is really good, especially considering that she was, like, the sixth VOCALOID made and the first VOCALOID2. She sounds... sweeter than a lot of them do.

    Thanks.

  • @it's an english accent. 

  • Is it me or do I hear Prima in the background?

  • @Benimation I think it's sweet ann

  • @ChanterDolce Well, this demo was made by Zero-g. Sonika and Prima are made by them. Sweet Ann was made by PowerFX. So I think it's more likely to be Prima.

  • I want to this version of this song to play in Just Dance. xD

  • Nice demo! It's what got me to buy the program in the first place... Her voice is heavenly... If you get the chance, will you please check out my first attempt at using her at youtube dot com/ watch?v = d44Uzfk647o" ?

  • @icreps105 show her a vid of the actual software.

  • @icreps105 LOL!

  • ...I actually like this more then the original.

  • Wow...there is hope for Sonika after all :D Yay

    I heard other covers...they killed Sonika, but her voice sounds beautiful in this :D

  • @akatsuki96100 Agreed O_o Crap covers were my first introduction to engloids, so I don't usually think to highly of them when someone mentions them. This song totally changes all my opinions XD

  • Am I the only one who thinks Sonika sounds like she has a Russian accent in this song? ^^

  • @akatsukiaurora123 lol she does but she's british xD

  • @kykOo0 haha i knows ^^

  • She actually sounds like a real English person. She's the only vocaloid who I like who sings in English.

  • She looks a very bit like megpoid O_O

  • @xXMilkychanXx jus for the hair and shirt color but megpoid looks more anime and has longer hair

    megpoid looks more like ranka lee...

  • Stop saying that English Vocaloids suck cuz they don't. It's not like Japanese vocaloids are anymore understandable than the english ones. Some ppl think that the Japanese Vocaloids sound better which in some cases I agree but I find that their voices r too robotic which makes understanding hard to understand. Believe me I have Japanese friends who can't understand what Miku or the rest of them r saying and have to rely on subtitles.

  • @sparklepink4ever your really right! the english vocaloids are kinda better than the japanese ones! but i prefer Luka Megurine since she sings japanese and english.

  • I have to use subtitles to understand 98% of American media through all the autotune. Your point?

  • o.o so this is the english version of vocaloid?....hmmm.....i still kinda like the japanesse version a lot better x3

  • @CinniMinniMonster The first English vocaloids came before the first Japanese vocaloids. You can say that if it weren't for the English vocaloids, then your Japanese vocaloids and UTAUs wouldn't exist.

  • @Maethirion i no that.

    i just saying i prefer the japanese ones is all,to me the rhythm -and sometimes meaning of a song- is what matters to me. -its just an opinion.

    but i really dont care who came before who.(but i appreciate them making english and the japanese ones as well.) im just happy that they ever invented them.

  • lol , im speechless!!!!

    How the fuck is possible!!? SO accurate and so much passion and feeling out of a fake voice...!!

    Sometime technology is so frightening!! seriously!! This is awesome,

  • To all you whiny bitches.

    I would LOVE to see you make a better English Vocaloid.

    Contact me when you have, k?

    Rofl.

  • Sonika's singing is so unclear that at first I thought she was Japanese XD

  • WAGH--- Why can't people edit her voice like this?!

    she's supposed to sound like this, but I hear that she's tough to edit~

  • Also, is it sad that I just looked up the original, and decided I liked the computer's version better? ...now that's just kind of pathetic. |D

  • 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!

  • Can't all English Vocaloids speak clearly? :/

  • @greengale2 Uh, yes. o.o

    People need to stop criticizing English Vocaloids. Honestly, I think Sweet Ann is better then Lily and Rin Act1 has nothing on Sonika.

    ><

  • @SpottedleafCCRVMK

    Compared to eng singers, the eng vocaloids are really unclear...OTL

  • @greengale2 There are some english singers much worse than this... ever heard Nirvana? Their songs are so unclear that Weird Al made a parody song about how no one could understand it. And they don't have to be unclear, but many people take that as the alternatives, which is 1) have painful autotune-esque twinges, or 2) spend hours editing each note individually.

  • i like this box art better than the original, and the design. im so weird, but i just like it! ^^

  • I'm an English speaker and I swear I have a far better time understanding the Japanese Vocaloids than the English ones.

    I really don't think they did a good job with Sonika. I know that no Vocaloids are perfect and they all have flaws and even the Japanese ones are hard to understand, but really, they could have done a lot better with her. When Luka speaks in English, at least you can understand about half of it and it doesn't sound like she has cotton in her mouth.

  • @SonicFanFromLyoko lol ikr?

    I wouldnt even know this is an english song if it wasnt for the title xD

    It really does sound like their singing with cotton stuffed in their mouths lol

  • @SonicFanFromLyoko i think they could have done a better job too, but sonika is made for pretty much every language, so her voicebank is iffy

  • @TheBouncyButton ? ahh sry what did i do???

  • ok i like this song with sonika <3

  • it's like $120 per vocaliod =_= man....Cool voice though, $120? Um not sure it's worth it (Len and RIn are though) Thanks for uploading this!!

  • They need an english version of Len, or that sounds as good as Len.

  • 106 ko 3

  • Is .. what the heck is this? Is this autotuned, or does the robot really sound this bad?

  • @icreps105 Old news. Male vocaloids been comming out. They just keep picking the middle-agers that sound like crap.

  • @KrispyApplez hmmm, you must be a Len lover......

  • Why do the English Vocaloid suck! I mean there are awesome Japanese models and yet you can barely understand the English ones!

  • @CodeMangaGirl japs have hard time to understand the japs one -.- and besides, actually focusing listening to a song is not bad!

  • this sounds so great!!!

  • my favorite is hatsune, tho she is only 4 japan

  • @icreps105 Same thing with all my friends..They think I'm on crack for even suggesting that the computer could sing this well! I'm soo misunderstood! ):

  • i love this song!!

  • she sound amazing she is the most humanly sounded english vocaloid

  • I think the reason why you can't understand her is because she's not pronouncing some of the letter hard enout. "B" ... "R" and sometimes "M"

  • The main reason these vocaloids haven't done as well it generally because they didn't spend enough time on the character. All the Japanese ones have a personality given to them and only two English ones actually have original and professional art. Marketing basics...

  • i've been finding original songs sung by sonika but can't seem to find one. all i found is sonika singing songs of other japanese vocaloids in english. i guess this shows how creative japanese users are compared to us english freaks xD

  • @chewkachu The best one to look for is Dinky Dink, No Time to Think.

    It's an original Sonika song, and It's rather well done.

  • @chewkachu Come to me - Sonika

  • XD omg my mom was a like 0.0 when she heard this XD

  • she sounds (and looks like) an english version of Miku 0.o..

    i just noticed that XD

  • haha, sounds kinda funnyO:o:D

  • Hahaha she sings this song so cute. I think i'm inloving of Sonika

  • i love her box art she look like some awesome singing video game girl~!

  • Ugh. I don't like the english ones D:

  • Is it because of the way she sings or how she sounds? This is virtually the English equivalent of the Japanese ones (The Japanese Vocaloids have just as much strangeness in their voices as the English ones do. Well, it sounds like it if you're a native.)

  • she looks shock...

    cameraman: Smile

    Sonika: What? *click*

  • can you only buy japanese vocaloid software from japanese websites? cause i only find english ones on english sites, but the japanese ones are on japanese sites where you pay in yen.... HELP ME! DX,

  • @dogloveproductions Well you can pay with yen as well.

    Search for "Yen to Dollars" and you can see about how much it costs ;3

  • I know a place where you can torrent the Vocaloids, I'll link to you if you pm me.

  • @karitheninja Can you please send me the torrent like <:3 Please??

  • @karitheninja PLEASE CAN YOU GIVE ME THE LINK TO THE TORRENT FOR THE VOCALOIDS??? DX

  • @Legendmaker12 what about google?

  • @animalcrossingfan88 It means google it. It's not hard to find a torrent. But SONiKA's .vdb is only available in 'Pocaloid' at the moment, so google that. ;D

  • @Legendmaker12 Oh thanks! :D

  • @animalcrossingfan88 Naughty! Buy it, she is cheap compared to the others anbd it helps her company! Plus, your not allow to exchange illegal links on youtube. >:-(

  • Comment removed

  • Sonika equals green-haired singing SIGOURNEY WEAVER!!!

    AWESOMENESS!!!

  • I really like Sonika's box art, she looks like a really serious product :3

    Even though I like that they made Al an anime character, his design is great and that but... really, the artwork is just too plain TTwTT It doesn't look good enough

  • i love this song and i also love vocaloids and well when its combine its like awsome

  • I have to say this is her best demo

  • @Kirayiyi: They made Big Al look like an anime character

  • omg. Sonika sounds really good. She suits me :3 Imma buy her xD dunno where from though... Does anyone know?

  • go to vocaloid . wikia . com then click sonika's name then somewhere it'll have a link to her homepage. then you'll have to look somewhere and it has a link to buy it.

  • wow... try crypton u.u" you shouldda known that.. or google it..... im pretty sure she's 150 bucks though..

  • ;_; I will buy you one day Sonikaaaa

    ^_^

  • one word... torrent... >.>"

  • Sonika's new design is SO COOL. She looks like a rock star instead of a 30 year old las vegas hotel singer.

  • @Deidarasempai

    I don't know about the 20yr. old vegas hotel singer, but I do agree that I really like her new design. Some people may say it looks trashy and not sweet, but I think Sonika's voice/ personality will shine. Her cover art is probably the prettiest of them all.

  • well i dont think its her official new box art cuz it was released before the contest (for a new design) was over

  • this is so addicting xD

  • Currently there is a ongoing competition to re-design Sonika, no winners announced yet. Also, whoever wins gets the Sonika system!

  • Sonika has already been redesigned?...

    There's a bit of controversy but apparantly her design was picked before the end of the competition.

    photobucket . com/albums/ac186/HEVL/73245506­.jpg

    They still say you have a chance, but the competition has been over for a little while and I'm going with the people talking directly with the companies :)

  • SONIKA= ANITA WARD^_^

  • This song sounds kind of dirty... xD;

  • did you know there's a war about her character item?

    Some want her to have a golden ring (SONIC the hedgehog lol?) and some want her to have a pineapple

  • Can't she just have two? XD

  • @Yuuna11 pineapple with a ring around it

  • where do you buy the english products? i cant find them anywhere in the uk

  • *makes the obligatory "I'd ring her bell" joke*

    Ok now that that's out of the way, I think sonika has potential but from the other songs I've heard of her she's very difficult to use. This song sounds good but in all her other songs she sounds like she's singing with her teeth clenched.

  • Oh, I thought you were talking about Sonika.

  • Can you not see the boobs? He's a woman man! xD

  • A new Big Al soon will be released

  • If you follow that logic you basically get Leon. Not to mention there are A LOT of problems with what you suggest.

    Creating a male vocaloid is very hard and the fact that PowerFX is trying to make a Manly Vocaloid makes it even harder.

    The reason BIG Al was pushed back so much was because they are STILL working on his voice. To say that a company should abandoned something after 2 years of work is really insulting.

    Big Al will be completed in 3 weeks and I can't wait to see how he sounds.

  • @NoNeed4Cosplay And they lost the original voice guy to tours.

  • She sound real and cool, but her face and everything is what I don't like.

  • wow this is soo cool! they should have more of sonika becuase i just found out about her today.

  • Sonika is actually supposed to be able to sing in any language. Instead of syllables, she sings in letters (consonants and vowels). Probably the closest thing to her is Luka who was made to be billingual (english and japanese) but she still had a heavy accent.

  • she's an english vocaloid - but was she voiced by japanese?

  • Yep! Luka was voiced by a Japanese songstress .. But she can sing in English aswell as Japanese.

  • Haha awsome i would love to try this out

  • dont forget luka, she can sing english and has an english database

  • ya but luka kinda has a strong japanese accent

  • Her voice is very iffy to me. I mean...you can tell the Jap vocaloids are singing Japanese. This is the first English vocaloid and you can barely understand her. Tis a bit sad.

  • Um... this is the 6th English Vocaloid. Also you might want to listen how Sonika sounds when shes in the hands of a good producer such as Cityedge and Giusspe.

  • Hmm, touche.

  • This is like, the fourth English Vocaloid. Before Sonika, there was Lola, Leon and Sweet Ann. There might be some more, but I'm too lazy to look them up right now.

  • Ok, thanks. Got that the first time someone told me. I don't like being corrected more than once, but thanks.

  • miriiam. :D

  • You missed Miriam and Big Al. They are also English vocaloids.

  • Also Prima and Miriam and Big Al will be coming out in the future.

  • Prima was released in '08, Miriam in '04, and Big Al in '07.

  • Big Al was never release he was just announced.

  • Comment removed

  • Big Al is released very soon, and with a amazing voice

  • Don't forget Prima, Miram and Big Al. xD

  • @Awaichan Holy crap, this IS English! I couldn't even tell until I read your comment!

  • This is the best I've heard of her so far.

  • omg she sounds like sweet ann mixed with luka but it kinda works

  • Are you kidding me?

    This is basicly gumi's design

    >:I

    *upset*

  • very odd.. not my fav vocaloid

  • yeah....... I was -_-
