Week 17 Day 1 - Change me

First up, before I start the week, I'd like to say a couple of things regarding this project. Mainly in terms of post timings. Although I try to start the week on the first day the blog started (1st of May, Saturday), this seems to have some weird problems, particularly with the archiving. As the weekly archives only start on a Sunday, therefore the archives will get messed up. Thus, Normally I'll start on a Sunday and do a double-post instead, or schedule a Sat post to appear on Sunday, so as to keep the archiving nice and proper.

Also, for those who notice, I have recently missed a lot of Monday posts. Due to tight schedule on that day itself, I now find myself EXTREMELY hard to post an update on that day. So I try to do a double-post on Tuesday as well. This should be removed once my semester has ended, hopefully.

Anyways, on to this week's post, I give you (as foreshadowed early on) another week of VOCALOID songs! This time around, I'm giving you songs from the other VOCALOIDs in the series, starting by one of the early ones, MEIKO:-



Song: Change me by MEIKO


So this is MEIKO, one of the first VOCALOID software introduced by Yamaha back in 2004. Though it can be argued that the popularity of the series soared intensely after VOCALOID2 came out, front-lined by Hatsune MIKU in 2007. Well, in anycase, as this song shows, it was composed as the 5th anniversary song for MEIKO.

Below is the same song, but subbed, for those wanting to know what it's about:-



Well, unfortunately quick findings at youtube and NND shows that there aren't any brave souls who have covered this song, so all I can offer at this point is:-


[Karaoke version of the song]


[Project Diva 2nd Version of the song. Enjoy the choreography]


[A cover version by UTAU Kasane TETO (check her out in my previous VOCALOID week's post)]

I think that's about all the songs I have now for this post. Though something caught my eye whilst looking this up on NND. Maybe it's version 2? Maybe it's the sequel? I didn't check it out, but maybe you might:-



Until then, await the second post, which shouldn't be any much longer now. Enjoy MEIKO!

Note: Since she was one of the first VOCALOIDs to be released, fans have made her into the elder sister figure for MIKU. Also, she sounds more 'mature' than MIKU, thus justifying the 'elder'
