“Happy birth­day, Meiko姉ちゃん! ”

Shall we say that as we enjoy the con­tent pro­ducer who brought life to the occa­sion.  MEIKO生誕祭2009 <- Click to enter the nicon­ico party for our beloved nee-chan, that is, if you haven’t already!

MEIKO, Crypton’s first Vocaloid prod­uct in Japan, entered the enter­tain­ment cir­cle on 2004’s Novem­ber.  How­ever, record shows that neechan’s debut song is prob­a­bly “あの素晴らしい愛をもう一度”, a bonus track for a CD (“HISTORY OF LOGIC SYSTEM”) that was pub­lished in July 2003.  So, the his­tor­i­cal evi­dence not only showed that our neechan is tal­ented and love­able from the very begin­ning of Japan­ese Vocaloid cul­ture, it also more than just hint­ing that Meiko-neechan is meant to be together with Kaito-niichan ^.^

【MEIKO生誕祭2009】Change me / shu-t【オリジナル】

Music, Lyrics: shu-t
Ani­ma­tion: Brother

Mas­ter level tun­ing and good ani­maion, very neat and per­fect open­ing song for the party.  ‘Change me’ echoes with my image of Meiko in per­fectly sync: a skilled, mature female singer spe­cial­ized in techno songs.  shu-t is being known as the mas­ter of Meiko.  His other works, like Var­i­ous Feel­ings, is just as amaz­ing as ‘Change me’.

Some other songs from the birth­day party are actu­ally cov­ers, like this one:

【KAITO・MEIKOでカバーＰＶ付き】　siGrE

Orig­i­nal: sm5837378
Meiko voice tun­ing: ほいほいＰ
Kaito voice tun­ing: てかＰ
Ani­maion: verusさん

Com­par­ing to the orig­i­nal Rin&Len ver­sion, I came to real­ize that the mood of this song fits the older Vocaloids bet­ter than the twins.  Oh and thanks for the nice PV for explan­ing what’s hap­pen­ing xD

August and Sep­tem­ber.  Autumn, Fall.  Faded heat and the sea­son of  harvest. 

Two years ago, a vir­tual Diva named Hat­sune Miku came into exis­tence and pio­neered a new niche of fan­fare started on nicovideo.jp.  Her ini­tial suc­cess, fused with the artists’ tal­ents and fans’ pas­sion, pushed for the evo­lu­tion of dou­jin music cir­cle which has since radi­ated its new­born energy into the main­stream pop­u­lar culture.

For the past month, dou­jin artists has been cel­e­brat­ing Miku’s 16+2nd birth­day by upload­ing their love-filled works.  (Btw, 16+2≠18 years old.  Miku-chan is 16 forever!)
