Recently, Vocaloidism uploaded a summary (
link) on the
article by Kenmochi Hideki, YAMAHA's Chief of VOCALOID Development at Yamaha
where he talked about VOCALOID. The said article was first published on Yomiuri
Shinbun (
link). After reading the article, I was overwhelmed by various pent-up
feelings and thoughts. Thus, I decided to write something in response.
I think it's more suitable to call myself a VOCALOID
activist instead of a VOCALOID fan. After all, I love VOCALOID music, I preach about it and I get involved in activities that were related to VOCALOID. In fact,
there's a local VOCALOID fan community that I'm involved in called the
Malaysian Vocaloid Party (

party member!
/vote for me in the 13th General Election!
Collectively, I would call the people in the VOCALOID fan
community as activist of the VOCALOID movement - one that includes all the
forms of art related to VOCALOID such as producers, band members, cosplayers,
artists, utaites, dancers and translators.
(thanks for all your effort and contribution to the VOCALOID fan community all these while!)
