The Evilious Chronicles and Kagerou Project are two multimedia fandoms that grew out of Vocaloid song cycles. Vocaloid fandom is closely enmeshed with both the UTAU fandom and the Utattemita section of Nico Nico Douga. The software was released on July 12, 2018. Writing fanfiction is a less common fan activity in this fandom. VOCALOID5 (commonly shortened to 'V5') is the successor to the VOCALOID4 engine by the company YAMAHA Corporation. This creates a very fluid border between 'original', ' transformative', and ' derivative' works, with on one end of the spectrum original songs and PVs (Japanese fandom contains many professional songwriters) and on the other extreme covers produced by feeding saved configuration files to a different voice bank with no editing.Ĭommon fandom activities are writing songs, performing songs, covering existing songs with Vocaloid, making videos for songs, drawing fanart, singing karaoke versions of Vocaloid songs, and playing existing songs on an instrument. The fandom dynamics are somewhat special since it is not based on a source text, and all media in it are by definition fan works. The Japanese Vocaloid fandom is very large and active, mostly on the social video-sharing platform NicoNicoDouga and on 2chan. Despite early adoption being mostly on the English side of the fandom, western interest has flagged since, whereas popularity took off to stratospheric heights in Japan with the release of version 2 of the Vocaloid software and introduction of 'characters' for the voice banks, the first of which was 'android diva' Hatsune Miku.

The software is capable of pronouncing the English, Japanese, Spanish, Chinese, and Korean languages with the appropriate voice banks, and other languages in the process of being added. Vocaloid is a singing voice synthesis software.
