First review!

Alright. As of late, I've been listening to Hatsune Miku songs. Who is this singer you ask? Hatsune Miku is not real, but actually part of a music making program called Vocaloid. A voice actor provided samples of her voice, which is then used for creating the voice for singing songs. Each vocaloid(vocal android) is then giving art and a face, and thus Miku was born. Each vocaloid is associated with a colour, and Miku's is Teal. She is perhaps the most famous one known. Vocaloid has unleashed many talented composers as well as singers. As these are user-generated content, people are encouraged to create as what they create belongs to them, and not a company. As each song earns fame, people do covers for them. Many are found on NicoNico Douga, the Japanese equivalent of Youtube. For more information on Vocaloid, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocaloid. Now onto the video:





Title: Reflect yukkedoluce
Composer: yukkedoluce
Vocals: Hatsune Miku


Awesome no? It tells the story of a boy who hates who he is, and feels that he is not good enough to be with anyone. He seeks to be alone, yet a part of him wants to make friends, experience companionship and escape loneliness. The doll cat like appearance reflects how he sees himself as: ugly, unlovable and the such. He tries to call for help, but he thinks that no one is listening. He finally reaches the point where he simply does not bother anymore. In the end, his inner-self finally breaks free and encourages him to embrace what he is, and that no matter what he is, he will still be able to have friends, and people will hear his voice, as reflected in the various Vocaloid cameos listening via their headphones connected to the mic that he is holding. Most importantly, this song tells us that if we give up on ourselves, then no one can help us. We must listen to our hearts. This song reflects(see what I did there?) a common problem in society, how we push people away and ostracize them. Key examples are those who are terminally ill, fat people, people that look ugly(yea don't say that you never did that, we all have at one point of our lives.) 


Music wise, it really is an ear worm. This song resides in my favourite's playlist. There's even a cover of it done by a Nico Nico singer by the name of Senka. It is as awesome as the original, or possibly even more so. Here it is:





So what do you think? Have you decided to give Miku songs a chance now?
