As some of the readers here may know (and tease me about regularly) I am a big fan of Vocaloid, the voice synthesis software packages which basically amount to a 'singer in a box'.
One of my favourite aspects of listening to Vocaloid songs is not only the sheer amount of different kinds of songs made, ranging from rock to ballads, creepy, pop, or just plain weird; but the real reason is that (even though some of the best get licenced to Sony or what-not for the games) pretty much ALL of the Vocaloid songs are fan-made. The music is written and performed by the fans, the lyrics are written by them and have to be heavily edited to get the right rhythms, notes and emotions, and the promotional videos are all made by the FANS; virtual unknowns who in some cases have built outstanding careers of the hobby. I find this very inspirational.
But every now and again a video comes along and blows your mind.
This is one of those videos.
Upon watching 'Corruption Garden' performed by Luka Megurine with music and lyrics by 'CAZ' and animated by 'Ikeda' (not a clue who that is but I tip my hat to them); all I could think was WOW!
This animation is so flawless it looks something straight from Square Enix, and the song is awesome to boot.
Whether your a fan of Vocaloid or not, the video alone is well worth a look just for its STUNNING animation.
Enjoy
