A (very basic) Introduction to Utattemita

[fascinates]

Most people who visit this community obviously already know what "utattemita" is and the people involved in it. But for those who want to have a proper intro to the category and/or invite friends into the fandom, I hope this post will be helpful. Note that there cannot be an encompassingly perfect intro or guide into utattemita, since the best way to go around this fandom is to explore. :) So, this'll be common knowledge, very basic. I'm sure you guys can handle the rest.

Some Stuff!

Today is August 31 in Japan, so...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HATSUNE MIKU!


• Producers are celebrating with a 3rd Miku Anniversary matsuri in Nico Nico Douga. This means tons of Miku works will be uploaded today. You can keep up to the uploads through this tag: 初音ミク3周年祭

• Our affiliate singing_robots is having a Miku birthday post where you can share your favorite songs. If you are a Miku fan willing to share her wonderful songs to the world or if you are new to Vocaloid and would like to hear impressive Miku songs as recced by fans, go there and stalk videos all day long XD.





• On a different note, I celebrated clear's' birthday last week by romanizing and translating original songs he has sung. This includes songs from Smiley*2, colors, and Enhance (the one with Dasoku). You can see the lyrics at onsenjikan under the @ clear tag :).




This week, I plan on making minor changes to the comm by adding some necessary intros, sticky posts, tags, etc. Updating info posts is something I am really bad at, so please bear with me ^^;
