Vocals that soar above the clouds!
As you can see, I gave Aiko’s blog a bit of a design overhaul. I wasn’t too satisfied with the earlier theme… I guess I just work better with slick, clean high-contrast layouts. I definitely prefer them anyway!
Awesome banner art by qrullgx13 on deviantART!
Also, first Mathieu song in a while!
I was able to once again do art for one of KodaP’s Engloid originals. This time, we have a duet between Sweet Ann and Big Al! The song is super energetic and as a wonderful, if dark, storyline. Definitely worth a listen! I’ll also be working on a PV for the song in the near future!
Also, HentaiP from VocaloidOtaku and UTAforum has put together a wonderful new Engloids blog to make up for the since-deceased one (formerly run by NoNeed4Cosplay). Go check it out if you love the English-singing Vocaloid family!
Cien and I are so very happy ;n; For the first time, for both of us, we placed in the UTAU ranking and got a in the video! “Breaking Point” ranked #44 ;n;
Thank you all so much! We really appreciate it, and we’ll do our best to continue making original songs ;n;
Thanks for all the positive feedback on Aiko’s first original! Cien and I really appreciate it ;n;
Per her request, it is now on Nico!
Just 2 days ago, on July 10th, I passed my 2-year anniversary of using UTAU ;u;/
Thanks a bunch to everyone who made a birthday gift for her ;n; It really means a lot to me.
And many, many thanks to Hollikuru for making Aiko’s old SOFT Append sing “Powder Snow”! 😀
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to finish quite everything I wanted to. I’ll continue to work on perfecting Aiko’s English (she’ll have recordings in 2 different reclist styles once I’m done) and multilinguality, as well as her 2 other banks (PopMellow and BalladSoft).
And last but certainly not least, Aiko has an original song!
Cien, Watase Maki’s voicer and creator of UTAU-Dreams, wrote a song and allowed me to make Aiko sing it, so Aiko finally has an original ;u; Thank you so much, Cien!
Here’s to many more years of UTAU to come! 8’D
Being in Tennessee, I wasn’t able to attend the Mikunopolis concert in LA, but thanks to my friend Hentai/Ario I was able to obtain a digital ticket to view it on Nico Live.
THAT. WAS. SO. AMAZING.

Hnghgnhn I can’t get over how pretty the model was this time around… and the outfits were ten thousand times better than the ones from the 39 Giving Day concert… Saihate and Anti the Infinite Holic were my absolute favorites ;A;
The arrangements were stunning too. The strings section playing with the slap bass in “Popipo” made the song just so much more enjoyable for me… actually I think I was a little fixated on the bassist ;n; I looove slap bass.
I only wish there had been more Luka and the twins, but meh, considering the concert was cut down to a mere hour and thirty minutes from the 2-3 hour epic that 39’s was…
Also, Crypton, I see what u did thar. Demoing Miku’s English bank all over the place. I hope you guys still plan to touch it up a bit though, she was really hard to understand with that accent xD Even moreso than Luka, and that’s saying a lot.
Looking forward to the Blu-ray 8’D
