– From the official facebook page for Oliver, in response to another user’s comments. Let’s cheer them on! You can do it!
well i am no native speaker but i hardly understand what he is singing O_o aside of that i somehow like his voice
You mean in Dinky Dink? I actually understood every word, and I never listened to the original song (it was originally a Sonika demo, I just never listened to it because I thought “dinky dink” sounded stupid).
no i mean the second song and yeah dinky dinky sounds very stupid ^^
Me too… I can’t understand half of Scarborough Fair. And I’ve lived in Canada for 13 years now…
I undersand it but I can understand why people struggle. Its slow pcced and has long drawn out note.
I love Oliver. He’ my new favorite Engloid. c:
Although I don’t understand the pirate look… o.o
He’s not a pirate. If you’ve been keeping up, his outfit is based on the Vienna Boys’ Choir (I know the name has Vienna in it, not sure) uniform. The bandages are a homage to PowerFX Vocaloids to go along with the monster theme.
I’m an American, with no idea what he’s said in any of his demos. O.o
Just saying, but Scarborough Fair is an English song. You might wanna look up the words.
I have hope for Oliver, I can understand what he’s saying. Maybe he can help ease the transition of English Vocaloids to get more popular.
Oliver sounds so adorable! I wish they didn’t go with the bandages, i cant pair that voice with a monster.
He is freaking adorable. I LOVE HIM ALREADY~!
