Vocaloid producer Wowaka has passed away

This is admittedly a bit more /jp/ oriented, but Vocaloid is undoubtedly a big part of Yea Forums as well.

vocaloids are just speech synthesizers with an anime girl associated with each variation of it for marketing purposes
the guy who died was a musician who used vocaloid software with his music

bump for Wowaka

Literally One of the best vocaloid albums ever released. Bangers from front to back

no lol, fully computer-generated music hasnt gotten very far.
even the vocaloid voices are mostly taken from an actual voice actor and reworked as a synth to be able to say anything you want. (and this mostly only works due to how japanese language works mostly in syllables, unlike english).
any vocaloid song you hear is going to be all done by a musician (although live instruments with vocaloid is pretty rare). vocaloid really just serves as a way for people to write music with lyrics without needing a person who can sing well.

Can that even happen at 31 without some horrible genetic defect or seriously fucked up diet/lifestyle?

Don't reply to obvious faggots and shitposters they are not worth our time.

lately I also feel my hearth pumps very hard at night that it wakes me up and sometimes and I feel I forget to breath, I went to the doctor and he told me I'm perfectly healthy. I guess I'll just die soon kek

I've heard this chart is kind of lacking but it personally introduced me to 36g's 'The Raingazer's Song' and PCVOX on a Dance Floor's 'my temperature', which are both really great albums. I would listen to more but it's a genre which gets overbearing quickly and there's lots of meh stuff, so it's slow. Anyways, hope this helps somebody.

theres lots of great vocaloid music out there, most of it is just buried under piles and piles of mindless shit that panders to waifufags.
id recommend
>Wintermute - stray light
>Nakanoise - ナガレモノノ儀
if you want more vocaloid shoegaze
>わたしのココ - 愛してるって言われたいの
if you like noise or noise pop at all
>Pulot - Napitas
if you like post-rock or ambient
also this chart is ok but just check the genres since anything listed under pop/electronic is oging to be very generic vocaloid stuff

>E-celeb
he's technically a video game composer as his music is present in the Project Diva series

>stress-related

RIP me too in a few years.

wow its my favorite video game, vocaloid.

If he's American the cost of visiting a cardiologist to find out if he has a heart problem or not will itself give him a heart attack from the stress of wondering how he'll pay that off.

>PowapowaP passed away back in 2015

vocaloid music is the worst shit you can possible feed your ears

Thanks! I'll be sure to check those out.

Damn, I don't think I would have gotten into the Project Diva games and Vocaloid in general if it wasn't for his kick-ass music. RIP. At least he's with Miku now.

which songs did he produced so I can cry or not

F

Rolling Girl, Two-Faced Lovers, World's End Dancehall, Unhappy Refrain are probably his most famous ones.

Is he one of the main guys in vocaloid or just another producer?

He was the gateway for a lot of people.

Damn. Why are Japanese people so fragile?
First they drop dead from winter colds and now their hearts are apparently made out of glass too.

good music, good vidya, and honestly, healthy diet and exercise. literally take the time for yourself. please take care.

Yeah seems like it. He didn't get me into it back in the day but really loved his songs. Man it's really nostalgic.

His band's website says it was acute heart failure.

be born rich or get really lucky and be slingshotted towards success
otherwise hope you enjoy slaving away for billionaires until you drop dead of stress
at least here in the west we pretend to care about employee's overall well being. the japanese stand no chance with their work culture
surprised more guys aren't dropping dead

his singing voice is pretty good as well
RIP man

Rolling Girl, Unhappy Refrain, and World's End Dancehall were like THE Vocaloid songs for the longest time, in both the Eastern and Western fanbases. Dude left his mark like few other could.

You never talk about the games and this thread is about a dude who made a few songs that ended up in a game. You make this board worse in his name. You don't care about him, you care about drama in your weekly off-topic chatroom threads.

dude fuck off, don't try to act like this thread is somehow too far when we get tons of racebait threads a day, tons of softcore porn dumps(but this one is okay because "IT'S VIDEO GAME GIRLS!!!!!!!"), threads jacking off various insiders/youtubers, threads bashing journalists, and threads about video game composers. If you seriously think a thread about a guy who did some songs for a really fun rhythm game dying is crossing the line, then you should just leave this board because 80% of threads are like this or worse

Stop biting for fucks sake

>ZUN will die of liver failure in your lifetime

why are you replying to a shitposter. there's literally a Yea Forums thread up right now and I don't see him there so he just wants to shit on this thread

Good riddance.
"Vocaloids" aren;t real music

He also wrote non-vocaloid music

You are making this board worse, because other people make the board bad too. You aren't justified just because you personally see this as slightly better than the rest.

He’s too strong to die.

Cocaine is fun.

Nothing's keeping you from reporting this thread and moving on. But no, here you are, acting like a colossal manchild when we're trying to discuss and honor the memory of someone who's influence reached outside just music.

Don't feed me some "you made this board worse in his name" faggotry when you make this board worse just by existing. We're respecting the memory of someone whose influence reached outside of just music and into video games, and inspired a generation. You're just some bitter fuckwit who's probably mad his "fuck jannies" thread got deleted.

I thought rolling girl was kinda overrated but it's still fucking horrible that he died so young, wtf

World's End Dance Hall was my first Project Diva song.

Now go and play some real games outside instead of fiddling around with 1s and 0s.

Two-Faced lovers is my most played Project Diva song. Every single play session since 2nd Extend I played that song at least once. Still haven't gotten tired of it.

you have any idea how much music uses fake instruments user, a large majority. Hope you mute your music when you play video games since 90% of video game music doesn't use real instruments

do you honestly thing playing instruments is more important to music than songwriting? because if that were somehow true than nearly all classical composers are hacks

Stress.

I should really get to playing Future Tone, now that I think of it. Does the PS4 version ever go on sale? Or should I just go for it now?

have you heard half the shit that's popular right now?

4 songs of his made it into one of the most recent games. None of them were made specifically for the games.

I'm still waiting for that moment when wowaka starts playing guitar on stage.

When everyone is in the audience and the leader who throws his right hand makes a loud noise, the happiest time in life begins.
How much vainness has been, honestly, nothing yet.

I can't reduce my belly and I can't sleep well.

I can not remember well after I met wowaka.

I can not stop tears.

I'm very sorry that I can't show the performance of 4 people anymore.
Still, I'm the only wowaka blessed in the world, so I will never stop playing the bass that told me that I liked wowaka.
Leader always come to ask.

I will be fine tomorrow as well.

I'm sorry, I'm going to borrow some jazz trout.

I don't know when it will be, but I'll give it back, so I can't wait around there.

wowaka, there's nothing like talking about us so long and deeply, but wowaka makes a song, we have an instrument, it's done, it's done live, it plays a sound, it sounds That time I was was real. After that, it is the best to have a good sound.

I'm sorry I'm bothered to say something clumsy with sentences I don't know.

Thanks. I will do my best from now on.

Vocaloid producers are a special kind of musician. It takes a lot of skill to manipulate synthesized voices to sound good.

I like some of it too. These vocaloid producers are very good to begin with if you take away the actual robotic vocaloid singing, it's just icing on the cake that they're able to make vocaloids sing good enough for people to buy into the songs themselves for the singing and not the impeccable arrangement and production.
