MAGNAPINA'S VOCALOID CAVERN

I absolutely love Vocaloid! It's my favourite thing on this planet!

My first exposure to Vocaloid was when I was 12 years old, through a cover of Lost One's Weeping by Neru, which I related to as an angsty kid struggling in school. However, I didn't look further into Vocaloid as a whole until later that year, when I became hooked on songs like Outer Science by Jin and A Tale of Six Trillion Years and A Night by kemu. Since then, Vocaloid has been one of my biggest loves in this life... I love the community, and the creativity, and I love all of the voicebanks that have been made! There's so much to Vocaloid and I feel like anyone can find something from it that they really love. I just happen to love most of it.

I have always been especially fond of Vocaloid songs as mediums to tell stories. One of my gateways into Vocaloid was Jin's Kagerou Project and the related Mekakucity Actors anime, and I got very interested in other vocaloid story-telling projects from around this time as a result. This is probably my biggest source of Vocaloid nostalgia. I miss Vocaloid series...!

Since my Favourite Vocal Synths page has been in progress for a year: My favourite is Kasane Teto. No contest. My favourite character, possibly of all time, is Kasane Teto. I really love Teto.

(*As a note for this site: I do generally use Vocaloid as a blanket term! Vocal synth doesn't have the same ring to it. If I talk about individual vocal synth programs or voicebanks I don't like to call them all vocaloids (I.E I will not say "Kafu is a cool Vocaloid"), but "Vocaloid songs" is just less clunky compared to "Vocal synth songs". At least to me.)
