2009 Vocaloidism Awards – Part 2

Welcome back to the Vocaloidism Awards.  Before we continue, I must say hello and welcome to those who were pointed to us by the Hatsune MikuMiku blog, who translated Part 1 of our show to Japanese. Whether it was to laud us or mock us is moot, because we like being famous. 日本語が苦手ですけど、日本のみんなあさん、いらしゃいませ。 m(_ _)m

Sonika’s New Look May Not Be So New

This is a bit of a tale, so listen closely.  Cy Ross was browsing through the Synthesizer Festa catalog when he caught a glimpse of this box art.  The Hatsune MikuMiku blog (who translated our Vism Award article, which is totally cool, and we’re eternally grateful to them) got a hold of Cy’s article, and

Why we need logos

Oh hi.  Thanks for donating, but we’re not done with you yet.  Vocaloidism, as with most blogs, is always a work in process.  This time, we’re working on our image.  Literally. We don’t have a shiny logo yet, but several of our forum patrons have provided some very nice options.  Go to this thread and

Why we need donations

If you’ve visited our site recently, you’re probably wondering why there’s now a donation button on the side.  Well, it has to do with our forums.  Vocaforum ran on leased vBulletin technology, and that lease has expired, so there is currently no forum.  A year’s lease is $95, but Kevin (the site owner) is looking
