It's been a while since the last time I uploaded one of my Vocaloid creations here. It's because I have become enlightened about copyright and many songs that I have created violate it so I can't publish them here until I've received permission to do so. Well, this song is one of the few songs that don't violate copyright. This song and the first two pictures are so old that their copyrights have expired. My understanding is that users are allowed to use the official picture of Miku (illustration by KEI) in their creations. If someone knows better, please inform me! :)

Song info:

Name: Suomen laulu (Finland's song)

Composer: Fredrik Pacius

Lyricist: Emil von Qvanten
Finnish: Aleksanteri Rahkonen

About English translation: I translated the song quite literally so you can't sing along the song in English.
The lyrics mention Väinö who is the main character in the Finnish national epic Kalevala. Väinö plays kantele which is also know as Finnish zither.

I've made a revised version of the song, which you can download below.

Development history: I started the Vocaloid work on April 12th, 2009. It took about maybe five hours. If anyone's interested, Mikuo's gender factor is 106 and brightness is 127 in this song. I don't know if there's a "standard" setting among Mikuo fans but this is what I used. Then I added reverb and increased the volume with Audacity. It's still a bit too quiet but the quality of the sound would have started to suffer had I increased the volume even more. I wanted to have a picture of Miku and Mikuo in the video but asking permissions is really painful when you don't know who the original artist is! I even tried to draw my own Miku and Mikuo with embarrassing results! Well, I slept over it and just decided to cobble together what you see now in front of your eyes. It'll do. :)

Constructive feedback will be appreciated, as usual!

Tää on täyttä paskaa, Pohjan laulu laulaa tän paljon paremmin!

[E5rael]

@Jore571 No, totta kai tämä kalpenee oikean laulun rinnalla, mutta tämä onkin laitettu tänne lähinnä muiden Vocaloid-fanien iloksi, sekä mielenkiintoiseksi/huvittavaks­i kuriositeetiksi niille, jotka tänne muuten vain sattuvat eksymään. "Ai, että tällaiseltako se kuulostaa, kun japanilainen syntetisaattori laulaa Suomen laulua?" on sellainen reaktio, jonka toivoisin kaltaisiltasi katsojilta saavani. :D

Olen nykyään muuten aika paljon parempi käyttämään Vocaloidia. ;)

Awesome!! How to use your vibrate is very splendid.Thank you!!

[E5rael]

Thank you for you compliment! It's funny how just a simple thing like vibrato really makes a difference in making the singers sound like living beings.

My songs always sound a bit dull before I add the vibrato, but after I've added it, the song becomes a lot more interesting.

Yes you're right, you are allowed to use Miku's pictures without asking, as long as you put it up for comercial use.
