So, apparently,
Aoi Said On His Tweet That Vocaloid Stuff Are Not Real "Artistic" Works, People Who Treat Mere Machines Like That As Being Equal To Artists Are Crazy. Alot Of Vocaloids Fan Outraged Then He Just Delete His Tweet And Fled Rather Than Stand And Face Their Indignation.
Than, there came comments like:
Yes, right.
No idea who he is but he speaks the truth.
Mikutards are going crazy…
He’s pretty pompous for a cheap knock off of Dir En Grey.
Is he criticising Vocaloids or their songs?
If he’s just going to delete and run he should have kept his mouth shut.
What the hell is this guy about? Fancies himself an artiste? Get out of it.
Can we call this guy’s stuff “works” either?
A popular visual kei band you say? I’ve never heard of them.
If i could, i'd really like to smack the person who typed the last sentence hard.
Never heard of The GazettE you say? You must be a geek that stays at home listening to jb everyday. Search visual kei and gazette appears. Ever heard of google?
I'm really trying very hard to limit my vulgarities here. I am NOT against Vocaloid. Of course i am biased towards Aoi, i have been a GazettE fan for years.
I agree to what Aoi says. But not to the extent. I understand that people enjoy Vocaloid. But please face the fact that they are not human. The voices DO NOT belong to them. They are fanmade. They are made by machines. They do not practice for their voice. They do not eat, touch, feel. When Aoi said that, i believe what he meant was,
Do not compare us artistes with Vocaloids.
and i find that really meaningful. If you were to compare them, that will be unfair. If vocaloids are music instead, there will be no need for LIVEs, no need for guitar, drums, bass, vocalists. All that is needed shall be machines. Aoi and the gazette practised night and day for their songs. They make songs. They hold LIVEs for us to enjoy. I hope you people out there will appreciate their effort and not compare them to vocaloids. Once again, i am not against vocaloids. Thank you.
