A lot of vocaloid series' have been getting attention lately! We even get to have a great western series with Communications! I'm honestly really happy to see that, I always though using vocaloid as a medium to tell stories is fascinating. I know some people go like "But having actual characters takes the attention away from the vocaloids" but I think that's a really close-minded and slightly weeb-ish way of thinking... Indie music that tells stories is the best kind of indie music for me lol. It's like taking the Character Song trope and making it actually relevant to the plot, every song can have so many different interpretations and we actually get to see every character's inner thoughts much better than with other media. Plus, every part of each story gets a catchy memorable tune to go with it. As much as I love it when vocaloid mascots are given personalities, we need to start treating them less like actual people and more like musical instruments. And even when it comes to actual musicians, very few tend to make all their songs be about themselves exclusively lol. Having your story sang by Miku for example is great way to make it more well known, as opposed to just sitting down and writting it. Especially if you're a barely known 20-year-old indie artist with little to no budget, lots of ideas and the vocaloid editor. Bottom line, I'm not as ZOMG HYPED for all the new Mikagura, Kagepro and Evillious songs and media coming out (even another anime, would you look at that) as everyone seems to be but seeing them get attention makes me really happy (also, Last Note's not dead yaaay //slapped ...now if only Haniwa (coughcough and a few others) would update their series too already lmao). I believe the one who started the other-media-adaption spree as Black Rock Shooter back in the day? Either way, all the news and hype over these past few months have managed to put a smile on my face. Now if you'll excuse me, Imma go listen to some Jin medleys n' stuff, it's been a while ^_^
