I couldn’t stand it, preferring the type of music that was popular with my peers hard rock and also what is now known as classic rock. Speaking for myself, my father enjoyed classical music and opera. Miku and friends were definitely not simply going to go down without a good fight! The music of our generations.Īlthough what I will state next will be a generalization, it is most likely true that you won’t like the genre of music your parents enjoy. It seems that they have had some success as some school administrations have backed down and some are “reviewing” the decision on banning the vocaloids. This is usually organized by the Student Council and so some of the glimpses we get of Japanese school life in anime is actually true.īut Japanese student vocaloid fans take their “music” seriously, so they took their case to the court of public opinion – that would be the Internet and the influential forums like 4Chan. In Japanese schools, during lunch breaks, the students are allowed to choose music to be played over the school’s PA system. They sounded too mechanical so as far as some of the faculty members were concerned, it was just “noize”. Well as it turned out the reason why they were banned was that some of the teaching staff found their voice quality “annoying”. So the fact that they are banned from some Japanese schools is really interesting, especially since, if you think about it, what harm can they do? Simply, they are uniquely a Japanese phenomenon. Which, if you think about it, since Japan is the home of the vocaloids, is very strange.Īll vocaloids are Japanese to the best of my knowledge, there never has been a non-Japanese vocaloid. There was an interesting article that I recently read that reported that Miku Hatsune and other vocaloids are actually banned from some schools in Japan. MMD: IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC!! Vocaloids are banned in some schools in Japan!
