In order from left to right: KAITO, MEIKO, Hatsune Miku, Megurine Luka, GUMI, Kamui Gakupo, Kagamine Len and Kagamine Rin The eight most popular (and my favorite) Japanese Vocaloids. Fast-forward half a year: I now have days’ worth of VOCALOID videos logged in my YouTube history and a playlist consisting of over 300 songs. It was only in November 2013 that I really got into the fandom and started to learn more about the Vocaloids. The funny thing was, though I absolutely loved the latter, I had no clue yet what I was listening to. I heard my first VOCALOID song (“ World’s End Umbrella“) in 2010 through a reference from a friend, and YouTube must have remembered that because it gave me a recommendation for my second song (“ Witch Hunt“) in mid-2013. Honestly, I’ve been asking myself the same question ever since I became a fan. There’s no doubt about it: VOCALOID is a global phenomenon. Today, there are dozens of official Vocaloids available in at least six languages (mostly the original languages of Japanese and English), hundreds of fanmade voicebanks (known as UTAU), thousands of VOCALOID-related songs, and tons of derivative media ranging from video games to live concerts.
To this day, Miku remains the most famous of the Vocaloids and NND plays an essential role in the collaborative creation and sharing of VOCALOID works. Since then, VOCALOID has had a tremendous cultural impact, drawing fans from Japan and the Western world alike. The Vocaloids started being released in 2004 with moderate commercial success, but the software exploded in popularity around 2007 when a Hatsune Miku cover of the Finnish folk song “ Ievan Polkka” went viral on Nico Nico Douga (a Japanese video-sharing website similar to YouTube). But because she was the start of the Vocaloid revolution, Miku's creators decided that she deserved the number "01".Hatsune Miku software for the VOCALOID2 engine As for Vocaloid, Mizki and Yuma were actually created long before Miku was, and so her number "01" is actually quite innacurate.
As for Megpoids and Gackpoids, Gumi and Gakupo are the first of their kinds. Utauloids, Megpoids, and Gackpoids are all different forms of the Vocaloid software. Utauloids: Teto, Ritsu, Ruko, Tei, Haku, Momo
Vocaloids: Miku, Rin, Len, Piko, Luka, Lily, Miki, Yuki, Aoki, SeeU, Meiko, Kaito, Rion, Akiko, IA, CUL, Mizki, Yuma A list of the important Vocaloids, Utauloids, ect.:
