- おふろ ♨ タイム -

So, remember that Producer Names Song which generated a ton of responses from producers, whether they're mentioned in the song or not? I thought that since the purpose of the song is to introduce to use names of 500+ producers to make them more known, why not go all out and look them up and see what they make?

Hence, this is the product of a whole week: romanizing the lyrics of the songs (which are literally P names), locating their mylists or carrier songs, and adding trivia about certain producers mentioned in the song. Some of the Ps here are not familiar at all, and some of them are more into MMD and UTAU than Vocaloid, but I checked all of their mylists and basically, everyone with a URL there has an existing work/mylist for you to check out. Some of their names also have interesting origins. Some of them, you wouldn't recognize until you see their artist name (the name w/o the "p" extension).

It took me a while to put it up because it's so damn long, so when maretu said he released a song with all the names, I kind of panicked XD. But anyway, I hope you'll enjoy looking up producers and their works. There are A LOT of names, and honestly, I only know about a third of them, so it was also a learning experience for me. I hope you guys learn a lot from this, too! :)

Translated the Pointfive interview in the Animate website here. I may have used excessive liberties in translating, and for that I apologize. Also because of that, please don't repost this anywhere else :). If anyone's interested, I transcribed and translated Select Me in onsenjikan here.

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 ^^;

Since some people were anticipating this, here it is, a CLEWOTA post to commemorate their 2 years of being a unit. There are a lot of other units out there but since I am very, very biased, I am only making a post about them :).

I won't introduce each person since I already had some sort of post about them before. You can view clear's spotlight here and a translation of wotamin's ameblo profile here.

A small intro since it was included in their discussion in a radio show. Wotamin got into Nico Nico Douga while she was browsing Youtube XD;. She was in YT when she saw a cover of "Kumikyoku no Nico Nico Douga" and was amused by it. She visited NND and its utattemita section and wondered how it would be if she uploaded her own songs. In the meantime, clear already knows of Nico Nico Douga but is a stranger to the utattemita section (since he visits only those MAD/parody vids ^^;). One day, a friend directed him to the category and he viewed some of the videos. He became interested in Hatsune Miku and decided to stick around and explore. The first utattemita song he heard was a collaboration involving Utawa Sakura. Eventually, he was inspired to do covers of his own.

Even though clewota's first song was uploaded July 25, 2008, they have known each other a few months before they recorded a collab. Their first meeting was actually initiated by wotamin. She was looking for songs she wanted to sing in Nico Nico Douga, one of them "lost my music". Somehow, she stumbled upon clear's cover of the song. She found his voice really nice, but she also realized his mixing was a bit off. As she was learning mixing herself, she decided to comment and ask if it was okay to mix for clear. A few days after, clear has left for her his email address where they would correspond with each other...and it had been like that ever since. Clear said that if wotamin hadn't found his song then, he would forever have that sucky mixing (I don't think so, clear, but it's amusing nonetheless XD).

( more under here! )

I'm sure you already know the songs they sang, but just to jostle your memories of them:
• Uta ni Katachi wa Nai Keredo
• Boku Mitai na Kimi, Kimi Mitai na Boku
• Snow Promenade
• Higashi no Akatsuki, Nishi no Tasogare
• Ren Kyori En Ai
• Ggrks
• Juvenile



...I would love to add more, to be honest. Like Clear singing Whitney Houston songs and the two of them singing Happy Birthday to Valshe, but I'm really pressed for time right now. Maybe next time :). I hope you enjoyed the post!
