User blog comment:AcobraL/Thoughts on Planty's Chika comparison video/@comment-3076833-20140913181630

1. Blogs tend to be for more "personal ponderings" while forums tend to be for discussions, is the best way I can put it. Like, for example, if you want to ask what others think of certian Vocaloids or ask for advice on using Vocaloid then that'd be where you go tot he forums. If you just want to discuss what you personally think of something, even if it's not Vocaloid related, that goes in a blog. (Although you can interchange between them, which is props why it's confusing, but eh)

2. I did say on the Chika thread that i'm not to trustworthy on judging on that, mainly because it's his tuning and not Peperons. Sure enough he did use the VSQ Peperon provided but that doesn't entirely mean that it's the exact same as Peperon's tuning; it'd be fairly close but more often or not (especially when you listen to newbish covers which just plugged the VSQ straight into Vocaloid) it won't be tuned correctly for the Vocaloid, which means that you're either left with bad sounding tuning or using a dosagae of your own tuning anyway.

As for people comparing Vocaloids this has barely been anything new, some comparisons being ridiculous (In tilt-six's anonkanon song I saw a comment which said the pair of them sound like Luka, because any Vocaloid that isn't high pitched enough to be compared to Miku or Rin must sound like Luka). In Chika's case though it's unfortunate enough that she does actually bear a fine resemblance to whom she's being compared to. As Dizzy said this could be taken as good or bad; good in the sense that you have a second option to a similar vocal type which could bear song range differences among other things, but obviously the bad thing is that it could be (and has been) seen as "They're just releasing a similar Vocal to one that sold well". When it comes to the video it's not really doing much but feul the debate further, which isn't entirely bad, just bothersome when you see more of the biased sides of either areguement.

In other words, there is nothing new to be had here other than more vocal opinions on the comparisons.
