i did listen, trouble is I'm so used to vocaloids that it takes a lot to convince me they sound relaistic at all, ditto for the voiceroids. I'm too familair with the "rasp" of vocaloid and digital synethisers, I pick it out even when I don't want to. If I speak from my own opinions of vocaloids, I'll go on to state WHEN I hear the stuff that makes a vocaloid obivously a vocaloid, but often I don't because I found at VO forums it belittled people. Buthonestly...? I don't find her as realistic as many make out, but I have this problem with Vocaloids in general.

I found Miku's Appends when all are used in a song sound more natural because she did things a HUMAN would do, which is vary the tone to add expression, whereas Yukari still DOESN'T do this at the end of the day she is like any other vocaloid. Yes I can tell its still just as fake as any other vocaloid song, but it sounded more natural because it sounded more like she was putting emphysis on lyrics. This is one of the few times even I can stand listening to Miku.

Do understand, that people get very different opinions of vocaloids, that due to various reasons they make think differently. Back to Miku, how many people say she is realistic? You and I know she ISN'T and I'll say that its so dam true its hard to believe whenever she does sound realistic. But often I listen to a realsitic song, and I'm left wondering "why". Also note, with the use of auto-tune these days, many can't even tell the difference between a real singer and a vocaloid anyway, because they both have so much tenchology dividing the lines its not even funny anymore. And even Miku has been known to confuse people.

I'm not going to deny that Yukari, on her own with no additional stuff, is not one of the more realistic sounding vocaloids, but I'm not going to say at this stage that I can't faithfully sit through a whole song without picking out faults even if the engine isn't at play. Anyone who gets too familair with vocaloid risks having this same problem, and if you can push that "uncanny valley" device aside, you can still pick out problems with this software. ^_-
