Module Prejoin - Day 2

(Noelle made this banner btw ♥)

Welcome to Day 2 of Module's prejoin!

Obviously, we're all here because we love Vocaloid... But what has your Vocaloid journey been like? Did you plumb the depths of Nicovideo in 2008? Watch the Kagerou Project anime in 2014 and wonder about the original? Catch Miku live on Letterman in 2022? What producers or videos got you hooked?

I'd love to hear your story with Vocaloid and its derivatives, no matter if you're a fresh face or an old hat. How you got started and what you're doing now, even the future of what you want Vocaloid to go. For answering this discussion question you will be rewarded five random cards and ten crystals.

All prejoin games will end August 17, 2025 at 11:59 PM EDT.

i think i first discovered vocaloid in either late 2008 or early 2009? i was a freshman in college for sure, because i remember sitting in the computer lab at school listening to vocaloid on niconico and youtube! i'm pretty sure i discovered it through touhou fandom songs. the cirno's perfect math class to triple baka pipeline. then i quickly found out more about vocaloid, and got into all the Classic songs and producers; i was a huge fan of supercell from the start (including their non-vocaloid music). i kept exploring and listening to different producers after that, and i've been listening to vocaloid a ton ever since.

vocaloid was something my partner and i bonded over before we started dating, too (i distinctly remember a party in 2019 where the two of us just sat in a corner on their laptop and swapped song recs). we had planned to go to hatsune miku expo in 2020--i bought tickets and everything--but it tragically got cancelled on account of the plague. but we got vocaloid concert redemption last year; i mentioned this on discord, but we went to see kikuo on our first date last august. we still want to go to a miku concert with the hologram and stuff, but we both love darker vocaloid songs so seeing kikuo for a first date was amazing!
