Oh dear god. I'd tell you to read to first introduction to Vocaloid, but I doubt you'll get there, so I'll give you a summary.

They are Vocaloids. Vocaloid = Vocal Synthersizers

Similar to 'text to speech' software.

Its used by producers who can't sing or don't have singers to put lyrics to their music. You buy them and tune them. They were originally created using Voice samples from real singers.

When you are browsing songs with Vocaloids singing, you are hearing songs by lots of indivisual people. Unless they are in a series - e.g Mothy's Evilious Chronicles - they are unconnected.

The Kagamines have no official personality or relationship with eachother. Vocaloids can represent whatever the producer wants them to, therefore their character varies massively between songs. Think of each singer as a new person for each song.

Vocaloids are just another instrument used in musician's work. It allows them to do things they couldn't before. There are stories within songs using the software mascots as characters, I recommend looking up series on this wikia if that is your thing.
