Japanese Robot Sings National Anthems

[desert]

Enjoy the wonderful stylings of Hatsune Miku.

To clarify, voice synthesizer.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Well...it was more impressive before it got to english.

[The Spartan (Returns)]

Well it's not official anyway... and it's not a robot, it's just Vocaloid a Japanese singing synthesizer.
But kudos to the person who used the software and made the anthem... it's VERY difficult to use Vocaloid, a Japanese software and creating something non-Japanese.

[desert]

I know she isn't a robot, see the clarification.

Anyway, this too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51q6...eature=related

Step aside, Maria Callas!

[Togakure]

How odd, I found myself feeling somewhat emotional listening to those.

We've still got a way to go before our machines are able to get the subtleties of language right. Interesting though.

[Quietus]

Wow, is that really synthesized? It can sing anything.
It has to sing Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" at least.

[Beefy187]

And I thought I was the only one who enjoys the Miku sing.

Ill give you a few as well

Well, they did do Don't Worry, Be Happy, though it isn't Marley.

Great find desert! I never thought Ill see the day of Miku shouting "This is SPARTA!"

Hmm, it can't really go wrong, though I'd really wish a Marley tune.

Ahhh, I found Bee Gees!!! "Melody Fair" Brilliant!

And a suprisingly tight version of "California Dreamin'", even thought I don't like the original at all.

"Let It Be" - Beatles. Word.

[Togakure]

...
"Let It Be" - Beatles. Word.

Wow ... just listened to this and I'm sure glad I did. I'm gonna hafta retract my early comment about having a way to go, etc.. Not heard vocal emulation of this quality before, ever. Very, very cool.

***

The Youtube clip comments mention that the "guitar" solo is Realstrat, meaning computer-based software tone generation played from a keyboard! Man ... Jan Hammer, eat your heart out! I recently stumbled across a Realstrat rendition of "Cause We've Ended as Lovers" by Jeff Beck, which I link here in case anyone is interested in hearing it. It ain't Beck, but it's still pretty amazing, especially to keyboard players who like to emulate electric guitar solos.

Thanks for this!

[desert]

A good rendition of the song Apologize, but it's a bit too quiet.


And a weirdish and kind of crappy We Are the Champions.
It's with Sweet Ann, no music though.


And a certain other song as well.


I'll look through the 70s, 80s, and 60s music threads to find songs to search for.

[desert]

Lol, Quietus. Here's Stand by Me for you.

[Ice]

Some of those English pronunciations made me laugh.

[desert]

You mean Engrish.

[Beefy187]

Thats because those Mikus are made purely to sing Japanese.

When they make them sing English songs, they are forced to use Japanese alphabet.

For instance Apologize would be

A po ro ja i zu

If theres other languege which sounds like Japanese, such as Korean I think they'll do a better job compared to English.

Although This is Sparta made me crack up

and I also noticed that Miku seems to do a lot better on higher sound then the lower sound. So I think they can do songs like Amazing Grace pretty nicely

[desert]

Well, there are Vocaloids designed for English, like Luka and Miriam.

Though Miku can sing very well in French - I think. It sounded right.

[Beefy187]

Found a anime of Miku fighting random characters with leeks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SC8Knx8AMI

Enjoy

EDIT: Theres soo many vocaroids..Ill go check out Luka

[desert]

Here's Miku dancing to Smooth Criminal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KCF...eature=related


And you might think she isn't that phenomenal just because her English is bad, but in Japanese she totally sounds like a real person. Here is the Miku-version of Sakura no Ame, a graduation song from what I've heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=JP&...1eGUFZo&fmt=18

[Togakure]

A vocaloid2 recording of Ave Maria. Beautiful.

Carmen - Habanera.

[Beefy187]

Carmen - Habanera.

woah... Prima is good

[Quietus]

Lol, Quietus. Here's Stand by Me for you.

Thanks. (guh, why acappella....). "The Model" is another one.

There are many classic/hit pop songs, mainly under Luka Megurine and SweetAnn (other than Miku).

"Endless Love" - (Richie/Ross). LOL!!!

"Luka" - (Suzanne Vega). Awesome. Very well done.

"Karma Chameleon" - (Culture Club). I was expecting "Love is Love" first, because it's a ballad.

"Crazy For You" - (Madonna). Done by SweetAnn. I can barely hear the vocals.

"Heaven Is A Place On Earth" - (Belinda Carlisle). This one is well recorded.

"Time After Time" - (Cyndi Lauper).

"Somebody" - (Depeche Mode).

"About A Girl" - (Nirvana).

[desert]

Old swing music or something? Duke Ellington comes to mind for some reason... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Deni...eature=related

That will be extremely cute

Although I would be surprised if she successfully manages to pronounce Thureophoroi.
