I think the drum line of “THE WORLD END UMBRELLA” is really interesting. It uses the “MaruSa chord progression” (a chord progression frequently used in J-pop songs like Shiina Ringo’s “Marunouchi Sadistic”), but it’s doing something really new with it. Hachi’s “Matoryoshka” is, for me, the platonic ideal of the kind of Vocaloid song I like. It influenced me a lot, to the point that I think it would be fair to say that if this song hadn’t existed, I wouldn’t have listened to Vocaloid music. This song is what made me like Hatsune Miku’s voice, and what got me really into the Vocaloid scene. When I met him in person and asked him why he used Auto-Tune, he told me “because the pitch was bothering me,” which made a lot of sense. Kuriyama: With “last Night good Night,” kz applied Auto-Tune to Hatsune Miku. Hachi later began releasing songs as Kenshi Yonezu, becoming one of Japan’s top artists. “Matryoshka” (2010) is one of Hachi’s most famous songs. “last Night good Night” (2008) is a song from livetune, kz’s solo unit. Among supercell’s songs, I particularly like “Juuzoku Ningen” and “Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari.” ryo was one of the first artists to break out from the Vocaloid scene to the major music scene. There’s none of that in “Melt.” It feels very natural. In the early days of the scene, there were a lot of songs where the pitch was a little bit off, and that always felt awkward to me. Hatsune Miku’s pitch in the song is also wonderful. It’s a wonderful song that would be great even if sung by a human singer, and I think it really shows what makes ryo such a talented producer. In other words, there were aspects of them that leveraged the unique capabilities of the software. Yuri Kuriyama: A lot of the first Vocaloid songs had really fast vocals or had vocal melodies that hit notes human singers couldn’t reach. This was the song that led to the formation of supercell, a group of creators led by Vocaloid producer ryo. One song you mentioned was “Melt” (2007). We asked you to pick out which of the countless Vocaloid songs have made a big impression on you and influenced your own work. He talked about the Vocaloid songs and producers that influenced him, the future of the Vocaloid scene, and more.
