    Two notes!
    1: I was incorrect about Vocaloid 2's editor. As many extremely helpful people pointed out, Vocaloid 2 voicebanks came with the editor. My mistake for that and I do apologize!
    2: This video was made literally right before Yamaha surprised everyone with Vocaloid 6 and due to my own scheduling for videos, I wasn't able to edit in this video discussing Vocaloid 6's release. Point still stands that a Miriam V6 voicebank would be incredible!

      I HEAVILY agree with Izzy! My main reasoning for being okay with pirated Vocaloids is because the people who pirate them can't afford them in the first place. Technically, it's not a loss customer or support if they can't afford the product in the first place.
      Plus like, a LOT of Vocaloid producers started out pirating and then went to purchase the official product. Circus-P actually pirated Kaito V1 and Miki for Insanity as well as Luka V2 for his first song.

    Rana's purpose was to be used as a special tutorial vocaloid through the magazines for as along as the it was issued (the final issue had her permanent activation code). She was meant to be used by aspiring vocaloid producers with little music and tuning knowledge. This was the business plan from the beginning and the original team behind her didn't plan it that far to release her as a regular bank.
    If i am not mistaken, her original developers pretty much left her there after that. Bplats, the distribution company of Yamaha themselves bought her voicebank and updated it to Vocaloid 4, along with other characters they adopted (ex. azuki, matcha, nana and galaco)

    some notes about piko bc i'm very hyperfixated on him
    - he and miki were originally developed by a company called heartfast, not ki/oon, ki/oon is the company that piko's voice provider worked for and helped release the voicebank
    - piko was discontinued simply because he ran out of stock, all v2 voicebanks stopped having codes produced for them in late 2015 so piko was discontinued simply because they ran out of codes

      @@XxX_J41M13_XxX I'm not sure how many facts I have that you wouldn't already know, but here's a few I can think of off the top of my head ^^
      - Piko has a code similar to Miki's "SFA-2" code, his is "KSRW-1"
      - his shirt/tunic design is based on one of Yamaha's electric guitars (RGX A2)
      - he has an official sakura themed design that was released at one of his voice provider's events
      - another drawing of Utatane Piko was featured recently at one of his VP's newer events too :) (which I think is his first somewhat official art in like. forever)
      and then kinda a funny one, it's possible that CircusP/VocaCircus is the one who bought the last copy of Piko, as he says Piko was sold out ever since he got his copy, and the dates line up (Purchased him in June 2020, discontinuation was found out about in August 2020)

    RIP to these voice banks, but now this is where Piracy seems to be a good thing when companies don't care one bit about their product and never archive them at all...this can be served as a back up if a company gets bankrupt due to how poor some of the vocaloid is marketed, like let's face it... some of it is due to poor marketing.. it's the only way possible now even if piracy and bootlegging is awful... but in terms of software prog. this is actually pretty important since specific voices, cannot be replaced, same with how a specific program runs.
    PS. this is the first time i have seen how debuting of Rana seems to be quite..... unneccessary 30 vol. just to learn and get the product... feels like a quest you don't even want.

    Piko is a strange situation of Sony not understanding how people use Vocaloid software. By taking down anyone sharing the demo's, not only did it destroy exposure for the voicebank, it also instilled fear into people using it, that Sony might actually strike them.
    Rule of thumb for Vocaloid: You're better off letting people make what they want with it. You can ContentID verbatim uses of music, but the minute you start taking down things, that signals that the claimed copyright holder is openly hostile, and never use it.

    I've been involved in the vocaloid fandom since 2008, and just gotta say that I love your video! There was a point in time where I could name all of the vocaloids in existence but that's probably about a decade ago now... It's super nice to see someone talking about older vocaloids and keeping their memory alive! I honestly would love to talk to newbies and educate them on a little vocaloid history since a lot of is lost to time and only people who were active in the fandom back then seem to remember...
    A little tidbit, you probably should've mentioned Galaco! She was one of my favorites of the lesser known vocaloids and I absolutely fell in love with her design back in the day! Unfortunately she was a private vocaloid so the original voicebank is probably lost. I remember she got a public release shortly after her private voicebank was going to be discontinued, with new artwork done by KEI!

    This is one that I was hoping you'd maybe bring up because she's an interesting case, but another discontinued voicebank is Akikoloid-chan. She was only ever distributed privately to those who had permission by her company, but supposedly she was even one of the first V3 vocaloid voicebanks. Looking at her wiki, it says she's "retired," which likely means that her company isn't distributing her anymore. Additionally, due to being a privately distributed voicebank, it's likely that her bank may become lost media. However, examples of what she sounds like is still out there, such as Manbo-P's song "Meat Meets Girl," where they use Akikoloid-chan

I like their robotic tones from the old days. I also did not know that V1 banks had so much trouble running today, that is probably the most distressing thing I learned from this. I LOVE V1 Meiko and Kaito, their V3 banks are good too, and I do like those, but they just sound so different from the V1 banks.

    Hey Lu have you ever seen the magical girl anime precure if not then here's a brief explanation of it's essentially if magical girls used brute force and the animation is soo good although there are definitely some hit or miss moments in the animation it's still a great show especially the highly recommended seasons go princess and heart catch are great seasons and highly praised amongst the fandom the series has been running since 2004 so there's plenty to choose from. But sadly there are no English dubs well there is one in the Canadian English dub which follows the original very well and only just changes the location and names of the characters but that's about it and then there's what I can only tell us essentially if 4kids was still around dubbing anime. But there is a fandub of suite precure movie and it sounds official so there's that

      They really do. Like, not everyone has $200-$500+ to spend on voicebank bundles that have been around for half a decade at this point. Especially minors in the community who have a crazy amount of talent but obviously not any money to purchase the programs they want to show their talent to the world.
      It does make me appreciate Zero-G because when they're voicebanks are on sale, they're SUPER affordable! I know someone who bought Dex for $30 which is super awesome!
      I dunno, I'm someone who believes that EVERYONE should have a chance to enjoy something, even if it means a bootleg or pirating.
