in the last half of this year, ive gotten back into vocalsynth big time. i always kept up with it on the side, occasionally adding a new song from the recent popular hits to my playlist, checking what new voicebanks have been coming out. but ever since discovering vocaloard's music charts a couple of months ago ive been regularly spending hours opening new tabs in my browser and just Listening To Music.
its wonderful, its amazing. its awe-inspiring and humbling to find out just how much music is released into the world every day, how many people are pouring their hearts out to create art that only a few hundred people at most might ever see. theres an endless amount of artists there to find, and an endless amount of art that you might discover is just your thing. its really brought back a small joy of discovery to my life.
i particularly recommend browsing vocaloard's 新着曲 日日ランキング charts specifically, which is the daily lists of vocalsynth music uploaded to youtube filtered by new uploads only. ill go into those charts, pick random dates and just open tabs for hours. here you will find almost entirely music with barely a thousand, sometimes only a couple hundreds of views, and you can still find real gems. the image attached to this post is a screenshot of the feed from the 13th of july of this year.
some of my favorite musicians ive discovered recently are limit34, mellowcle, keisei, ichinose LUPO and komedawara.
feel free to share any other cool songs and musicians youve discovered recently in the comments
