Vocaloid: Kaito 05

On his first release, Kaito was deemed a failure as he had only sold 500 packages in the initial distribution. However, on the 16th of September 2007, Tatsunami uploaded a parody of the song in Higurashi no naku koro ni, “A Request from Hatsune” onto NicoNicoDouga at the height of Miku’s popularity. The video began with the words “please sometimes recall [KAITO],” as well as Miku asking “where are you and what are you doing now?” from the song Dear You.

It so happened that Ice-P was producing the cover “The Ice Cream Song” sung by Saeko Shee in 1960. Four hours later, the song was uploaded as a response to Miku, with Kaito saying “yes? I was eating an ice cream,” and “Miku, let's eat it together next time.”

The rediscovery led to Kaito’s success, winning the second best seller of the year in Nico nico Market 2008.

Poor Kaito! At least now he has awesome cosplays to go with his success! Awesome cosplay by Reika 麗華 (れいか)!

Vocaloid 2: Megurine Luka, Kaito, and Hatsune Miku

It appears that Kaito has his hands full- Ahem.

With the current surge of Vocaloid cosplayers, I beginning to find it hard to write anything more about them; especially Miku. So can anyone tell me which song this could cosplay could be from instead? I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks to Desidia for suggesting this!

Vocaloid: Yowane Haku

Yowane Haku is one of the Vocaloid derivatives that became officially recognized by Crypton Future Media. She originally represented Hatsune Miku songs that sound terrible. Haku became popular and her creator, Caffein later established other characters following the same procedure.

I didn’t know Vocaloids had negative sides too! Thanks to Yukino for suggesting this!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin

You know that a character has reached new heights when a fan decides to launch a petition to create a custom made plate of the said character that will be used as a balancing weight for a... spacecraft explorer?!

That is exactly what Sumio "chodensi-P" Morioka did. In November 2009, he started the Hatsune Miku aluminum plate petition for the Japanese Venus spacecraft explorer, Akatsuki, which will be launched in summer of 2010. Dr. Seiichi Sakamoto of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency backed him up but only reached the 10,000 signatures necessary after the original deadline; 20th of December 2009. However, due to the delays in the Akatsuki project, a new deadline, 6th of January 2010 was set, and the project received over 14,000 signatures.

Awesome fanbase with great cosplayers too! It makes me wonder what songs this Miku and Rin are in. Thanks to Riffonliner for emailing the photo!

Vocaloid: Meiko 03

On the 24th of July 2003, a CCCD album “History of Logic System” was commercially released and it included a song using Japanese Vocaloids for the first time. The duet song of "Ano Subarashii Ai wo Mou Ichido (That Wonderful Love Once More)" was covered by a prototype of Meiko and Kaito before their release.

Cosplayer Aira makes an incredible Meiko! You can hear the official YouTube broadcast for the song mentioned above here. Thanks to Visa for sending this!

Vocaloid: Meiko

One of the first Vocaloids created by Crypton Future Media, Meiko’s voice is based on a Japanese female singer, Haigou Meiko, whose singing is suitable for any musical genre. The anime character added on the box of the DTM (Desktop Music) software had nothing to do with the singer’s image, but her appearance had an appeal to the mainstream audience, selling the software quite well.

Beautiful cosplay! I love how she did her make-up and nails in Meiko’s signature red color. I wonder if this cosplay is from one of her music videos? Thanks to Lilica for sending this!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Len

The most popular Vocaloid, Hatsune Miku, is accompanied by a rather grown-up looking version of Kagamine Rin's "twin", Kagamine Len. It makes you wonder if Kaito will get jealous over this picture.

Then again, Len and Rin are supposedly "one and the same", aren't they? Where in the world could Rin be?

Vocaloid Cosplay PV: Melt

I can't believe how cute this video is! Please check it out, you won't be disappointed!

Here are some notes from Peggy, the animator and the cosplayer of Miku:

song by Supercell,he's a very famous composer in the world of vocaloid!
Did a cosplay PV for it because this is one of the first few songs that i heard from a vocaloid and its kinda memorable to me.

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku 15

There has been an overwhelming amount of high quality Miku cosplayers lately that… I am running out of things to say about her! She is, however, one of those rare characters who have so many different outfits that it’s hard to keep track.

So does anyone of my readers know which video or soundtrack this Miku is from? Thanks to Ys for sending this!

Vocaloid 2: Megurine Luka 02

Unlike Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin and Len, Megurine Luka's costume is not based on a school uniform. This is probably because Luka has a "moody yet husky female voice" with a "cool, somewhat mysterious" character. One of the first few songs produced, "RIP=RELEASE" took the number one spot on the 70th Weekly Vocaloid Ranking. The song earned 843,233 points during its first week, the highest one-week score ever recorded.

Beautiful MoeHaku Luka! I didn't even know this was her official costume until I received this contribution. Thanks, Wikia!

Vocaloid 2: Kagamine Rin and Len 03

As the song, Himitsu ~Kuro no Chikai~, goes:

There was a fallen, featherless angel

And the only one who offered help was the Devil

Who would have known that the vow she had made

Would make everything she had loved blur and fade away?

Cosplayer Noah is the angelic Kagamine Rin and Major Edward Elric is Kagamine Len! I really love how Rin’s wings came out. Thanks to Mika for sending this! Merry Christmas everyone!

Vocaloid 2: Megurine Luka 05

The first bilingual vocaloid to be released, Megurine Luka has an extensive Japanese dictionary on par with previous Japanese Vocaloids. However, her English is more limited than English Vocaloids. Despite her songs needing more attention when creating English lyrics, she has superior capabilities of the English language with only occasional Japanese accents.

So pretty! And what lovely shoes. I normally hate gold shoes, but her boots are probably the only exception. Thanks to Pinchy for sending this in!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune “Snow” Miku

The blue and silver “Snow Miku” was originally a figure to commemorate the snow sculpture created for the 61st Sapporo Snow Festival in Japan. Now it’s also a cosplay endeavor by many fans with amazing results!

Chamaro is the cosplayer behind this “real” Snow Miku and I have to say, it’s a refreshing look for one of the most popular cosplays in Cosplay Holic! Thanks to Mikan for sending this!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku 13

Isn’t this one of the most unique (if not confusing) cosplays you’ve ever seen?

I wasn’t sure whether I should label this as Hatsune Miku or Kagamine Rin. In the end, I had to decide she was Hatsune Miku cosplaying as Kagamine Rin.

A cosplayed character cosplaying as another character. Now that’s definitely something! Thanks again to Tanaka for the contribution!

Vocaloid 2: Kagamine Rin and Len 02

Since they were based on the same voice provider or seiyuu, Kagamine Rin and Len successfully harmonize with one another and are often used in duets. They have a similar range and depth to their predecessor, Hatsune Miku. However, most users consider Len to be more difficult to work with than his counterpart, Rin.

So cute! They look like they’re wearing their own interpreted version of Miku’s classic outfit! Thanks to again to Reese for sending this!

Vocaloid 2: Megurine Luka, Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin and Len

Megurine Luka, Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin and Len are all part of the second installment of Vocaloid, a voice synthesizer that has hopeful song writers create several Japanese songs in different genres. Miku was the second to be released in the series, followed by Rin and Len, and finally Luka.

I’m wondering why the girls are all wearing similar outfits. Is this from another song I have yet to hear about? Thanks to Padme for sending this!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku 11

When I mentioned having a liking for Miku’s original outfit, but having a soft spot for gothic lolita, I didn’t expect to find a cosplayer wearing something like this.

Needless to say, I am most pleasantly surprised.

Anyone know which of Miku’s songs this ensemble's from? Thanks to Marika for sending this!

Vocaloid 2: Megurine Luka 03

Unlike Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin and Len, Megurine Luka’s vocal database is Japanese/English bilingual. Her name was chosen to express Crypton’s hope that she will transcend borders and cultural barriers. Since her voice provider is Japanese, she often sounds like she has a notable Japanese accent when singing in English. Previous Japanese vocaloids who were used to sing in English, however, often had a stronger accent than Luka.

Hasn’t Santa come a little early this year? Not that anyone is complaining, I’m sure. Thanks to Chloe for sending this in!
