it's been a while since my last update... apologies!! life's been hectic and i just started my senior year so i've been freaking out about that. however, it's a very important holiday today (or rather tmrw... today in japan at least)
MIKU'S BIRTHDAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
the reason for this site!! the theming behind it!! my number one favorite character of all time!! i can't hold back how excited i am for it to roll around in my timezone. in honor of her birthday, i wrote a little thank you letter regarding miku and vocaloid as a whole, because of how special it is to me... hope you guys enjoy reading as much as i did writing it!
the years i’ve known miku have honestly been a blessing. i’m not sure if i can properly put into words how much her and the entire vocaloid scene in general has affected me. who knew me borrowing a manga from my friend in the 5th grade would lead to one of my biggest passions to date as a senior going onto college soon? vocaloid has been so many things for me. it’s been a huge creative outlet— while i don’t make music, the art and designs i’ve made that have been inspired by vocaloid producers are too many to count. miku herself is an even bigger inspiration in that regard. whenever im in doubt, she’s the first thing i go onto draw without a second thought. not only has miku affected me creatively, she’s affected me as a person too. the vocaloid community has given me a sense of belonging that i haven’t really felt before it. it’s introduced me to some of the best people i’ve ever met in my entire life. sometimes i wonder how much things would’ve changed for me if i never discovered vocaloid.
I’ll be an adult soon and while it can be scary, i know for a fact i want to keep my passion for the things i love strong no matter what. vocaloid is not an exception to that. thank you to the vocaloid community for keeping the scene thriving for so long after all these years. your creativity is an inspiration to everybody– musicians, artists, writers, cosplayers, and everyone outside of that, too. and thank you for giving me a place where i belong.
thank you, miku, for helping me get through the hardships of life by being a character i can always come back to with a smile on my face. you will always hold an irreplaceable place in my heart. i hope you can continue to inspire others for years to come! happy birthday to the first sound of the future, and our favorite virtual diva.
