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!)

As a mean to keep myself updated with newest devel­op­ment of Vocaloid, I made a res­o­lu­tion to write a monthly “focus” of Vocaloid releases.  It focuses not on the rank­ing of indi­vid­ual Vocaloid songs because I believe that a mas­ter­piece to one man might just be a medi­oc­rity to another.  Instead, I will focus on titles of artists who have been around for some while, and jog down some info related to their ear­lier works.  Just in case you are inter­ested into rank­ing and more detailed info on Vocaloid, vocaloidism.com is a neat site to dig in :3
