Yeah, I didn't want to go into the nitty-gritty details of re-pitching. Its a copyright breakage in the worst way.

I can remember this was one of those "stand out" discussions back in 2010 when I came out of lurking on VO and everyone more or less shunned or mocked re-pitches. There are even more reasons you listed... And since in-fandom fighting occured even in Japan, its pretty much a discussion that has its own separate topic altogether. >_<

Hell, I didn't even mention Audacity, or however its spelt, the most common tool used here in the west to alter these songs.

Either way, the general consensus was how "lazy" it was so I went with that.

I can remember also someone saying that Miku becomes Neru n a particular range and arguing with others over that. Sad thing is, even Wat once reference Kaito's "genderbend" and said how one of the Append vocals "sounded" like her. Considering she is a made up vocal, I'm not quite sure how she is suppose to sound... :-/
