Haven't update in a while, the lack of a properly working computer has been the main reason.
+ Many stuff has happened but not going to talk about it all because I'll never finish.
+ Attended the So Cal Cosplay Gathering for the first time since 2007?
It was fun and it has grow so much!!! But it was awesome I got to see many people I haven't see since ALA.
Fanimecon was awesome!!! Will post a con report soon.
Previews:
+ Next: Anime Expo in 2 weeks!!!!
I personally don't like this con at all but since it's the biggest anime con will be attending 2 or 3 days as usual since it moved to LACC.
I will be taking Alice from PH and one another not sure yet which one. I plan to take more photography than cosplay since there are no good locations unless you go outside the convention area.
+ After AX is my home convention COMIC CON!!! Even though is not anime related only is one of my favs for all the celebrities I get to meet every year. I'm wondering who is going to bring Viz Media this year *looks at FMA*
+ After Comic Con there is a big gap until Yaoi Con. I'm currently considering going to Anime Evolution in Canada. As of right now there is a 50-50 chance I will be attending, it all depends if
can go or I can make other arrangements. But as the date gets closer will update on this.
+ Now in relation to the title, I being wondering for a while and I know it might sound kind of dumb asking about this but what exactly is VOCALOID?
As far as I understood, is a music software where you can sing as a certain character right? But where do all pictures, relations, outifts come from?
I mean, I have seen so many different gorgeous outfits, characters, fanarts and such but are all of this made up or is there something else?
Hopefully I explained myself correctly of what my doubt is. I just have been wondering since I first saw it like 2 years ago LOL!

Its a great fanbase. They aren't like other fanbases, in the sense that the fandom does not get ruined by, well, the fans. x3
Also, I really hope you and Maggi can come to AE. Maybe I can finally meet you two!
Hope to see you at AE if I make it so we can finally meet!!!
Like Jenna said up below (or above?) xD it's all made by fans...basically the original designs of the vocaloid is what they look like in the box set and from there people make fanmade videos with different outfits. it's actually pretty cool. I know when I started looking into it I had a tough time finding them because I didn't know the name of them so since I'm taking a break from finals I can give you some famous songs by vocaloid linkage 8D
Magnet - Well you know magnet...xD not much to say
[link]
Synchronicity - It's more like a story, second part is beyond amazing
Part 1: [link]
Part 2: [link]
From the Cradle to the grave - Sad song but so good
[link]
Daughter of Evil - I think everyone loves this song xD I haven't met anyone who doesn't
[link]
Servant of Evil - Len's version of what happened
[link]
Prince of Blue - Kaito's version
[link]
Lord of Darkness - this is a mock version of Daughter/Servant of evil
[link]
Imitation Black - The lyrics and music are so powerful together *A*
[link]
Cantarella - My favorite song...just because it sounds spanish and I love the lyrics xD Plus the outfits are so pretty *A*
[link]
Dark Wood Circus - Creepy song but so well done in the video. [link]
Alice Human Sacrifice - Another creepy song but damn I love this song [link]
If you soon find one vocaloid that you enjoy more (I know for me is Kaito) I can give you more songs specific to the character ^^ give me something to do while i wait for the exams to be over D8
I like Synchronicity, dark wood circus and Alice human sacrifice.
There is one I came across I don't know if it is the same as one of the above Vocaloid "Sandplay of singing of the dragon" It sounds kind of Opera I liked it a lot!
I Should probably stop watching it now or I will get caught up by it XD
