Project DivaWell, what is a vocaloid? Vocaloids are a series of voice synthesizing software. By synthesizing a real person’s voice with this software, Japan has been able to make virtual divas such as Hatsune Miku. She has an anime girl- like appearance and has been so popular in Japan and America, that they have made holographic concerts of her singing.
Many people may ask ‘Why like her when she isn’t even a real person?’ Fans say that unlike real people, Miku cannot engage in a love affair or an illicit relationship and cause a scandal. She will not age and will always remain as the perfect pop star. Furthermore, the synthetizing software can be bought, meaning that fans can compose and make their own versions of Miku’s songs. |
