Is it bad I can't listen to IOSYS produced music because traumatizing experiences with Denpa music? I used to carpool with someone who only listened to (intentionally bad) Denpa music and now I associate Denpa with the torture that is LA traffic. Even new releases give me Nam flashbacks now.

Been sturring these sausages and balls every 10 minutes for 2 hours now.

I asked Super * Review about the status of his Hatsune Miku M500 review he promised 3 weeks ago. First batch and his review unit had defective batteries. He is delaying his review until he gets a replacement. He recommends against purchasing one until the batteries are confirmed fixed.

My White Elephant gift for tomorrow. $38 in scratchers in a $4 picture frame from the thrift store.

Mail Day! Prize Figures from Japan. Man these look really good for how cheap they were. $60 for the set.

Batch 2 preorders reopened for Hatsune Miku Android 4G DAP. No discount from early bird but you still get all the preorder bonuses including case, badge, and acrylic. Avoid the bundle with the Miku IEMs, they look pretty but are supposed to sound terrible. store.hiby.com/products/hib...

YouTube Music recommended me a Kasane Teto song today! music.youtube.com/watch?v=LN9G...

#UtaForum Service Update Webhost as remotely rebooted all the services on our server node and has given us access to our server again. I was able to log in and repair our database. Everything should be in working order again.

Concerning #UtaForum. Our database server crashed and needs a manual reset. Unfortunately my admin credentials no longer work and even SSH-ing as ROOT won't let me reset my password because of various authentication errors. I opened a ticket to resolve the issue but we are waiting on our host.

Lmao these were personally created (with AI assistance) by the founder of Duck Duck Go himself. He manually created and added these aliases. Was taking feedback on the Vocaloid subreddit. I think he may be a Vocaloid fan.

You should be using Duck Duck Go

My dog is passed out and won't eat her Taco Tuesday leftovers but suddenly wakes up and growls if another dog tries to take it, before passing out again. #doggo

I might have to attend ALA this year. Vtuber Douga, more than a dozen Vtubers covering the all time classic Vocaloid hits as a convention virtual concert.

Will you do Miku shots with me?

Hot Take: Most Hololive English original songs have bad lyrics. They are written in JP then translated which makes them super weird. The translated lyrics never have meter, rhythm, and sybelic stresses right. They always super awkward to sing along to. Get an EN lyricist!

Not every YouTube Music new release recommendation is a banger. Today was another Miku song with AI art but the track was meandering and boring, at least it wasn't Suno AI as well. Not linking it because I didn't like it, but yea, some days the algorithm gives you boring/mid as well.

Today's Vocaloid new release from MI YouTube Music recommendation algorithm is from another artist I never heard before. Another banger, no AI art this time. music.youtube.com/watch?v=o6ha...

Because I trained YT Music that I liked indie Vocaloid music & new releases it also sends me some weird stuff including this producer dueting Hatsune Miku today. The amount of AI album art on these new releases is unfortunate. I been getting a lot lately. music.youtube.com/watch?v=Da2l...

I get enough automated calls and texts from my health insurance UnitedHealthcare I added them to my address book. Like with most of my contacts I even gave them a custom caller profile.

My debit card let's you upload your own photos or art and make your own custom card. I tried uploading my own Vtuber model and they rejected it and sent me a generic card instead. RIP. Was worth a shot I guess.

Banger of a new release Miku English song from an artist with less than 20 subscribers. Honestly, I have trained my YouTube Music algorithm well. Anyone complains they never see new indie Vocaloid music probably doesn't actuality listen to new & indie stuff. music.youtube.com/watch?v=qEao...

My local Japanese Community Center is doing a fundraiser. "Free" 10x homemade Poke Buns from an authentic Japanese obbasan with $25 donation. Should I donate/buy some?

The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku (above Venus)

Sometimes I wonder, if we never had that falling and we ended our relationship over that last Vocaloid album what else we would have done. Would we have made Synth V music? Explored more UTAU? Transitioned to vtubers? We never talk anymore, and it will never be, but sometimes I wonder "what if?"

A week late but took down my desk window's Holoween decorations and am putting up my Xmas stuff.

I learned Aegeisub to edit anime subtitles and time karaoke when making lyric videos. Finally putting those weeb skills to use at work by adding Spanish subs to all our training videos.

new UTAU cover !! 🎺 Konton Boogie / 混沌ブギ ft.【Haru Torres /トレス春】 Music: jon-YAKITORY YT: youtu.be/kvv5tobK2Oo #UTAU #HaruTorres

Ugh, woke up with a migrain. I need to eat something and maybe take something.

Is it weird that I get excited seeing a RODE pop filter in frame than just another Shure SM7B shoved in my face? Maybe the grill of an Electro-voice poking in from bottom frame? Man I am such a nerd that I just get fascinated by what mics content creators use. SM7B is boring these days.

NEW DATE ADDED FOR LA MIKUEXPO BC APPARENTLY IT ALREADY SOLD OUT

Holy moly the Pyro effects are insane. I can smell the propane and feel the heat on my face! #babymetal

Babymetal at the Intuit Dome. Section MAIN1 Row 10. I can’t believe these tickets were less than $100. Let’s hear how the sound is compared to The Forum, the venue down the street and where I saw the band at last in 2019.

Going to see Babymetal at Intuit Dome (Steve Balmer's Arena) tonight. The tickets are digital and require each person to have their Spyware app installed and all permissions approved. It is rated 1.2 stars and has going to the event means there is biometric data gathering that is not optional.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN #vocaloid

I may have gotten too much candy. Good amount of full size leftovers. Didn't even need to break out the emergency bag of minis.

Ave Miku, morituri te salutant #MikuExpo Hail, Miku, those who are about to die salute you!

RIP General Admission people going for the LA showing of Miku Expo. After the Golden Voice presale earlier today, plus the AmEx presale yesterday, people are saying almost all the non-VIP seats are sold out before the public even got a chance to buy. They didn't hold back much at all.
