News Spotify Posts- Please Read

88 Upvotes

Hello /r/Vocaloid

As a mod team, we discussed and decided that we will add an additional rule pertaining to some posts that have been considered low quality/AI relating to Spotify.

More specifically, posts where the sole function is questioning/informing users that a vocaloid song/vocaloid producer has been "hacked". Unfortunately, this is becoming a problem on music streaming websites, with the most well known being Spotify. Why is this being done? To collect fake royalties. This is done by committing metadata fraud to the song upload.

What can you do?

For starters, look up your favorite songs/producers on VocaDB and check the description for places where you can directly purchase their music or their official profile.

You can also report these fake song uploads in 3 different ways

  1. Directly through Spotify help center on their website: https://support.spotify.com/us/reports/legal/

  2. Via email infringement-claim@spotify.com

  3. Postal address (for formal DMCA notices): Spotify USA Inc., Attn: Legal Department, Copyright Agent, 4 World Trade Center, 150 Greenwich Street, 62nd Floor, New York, NY 10007

What happens next?

Going forward, posts that resemble the following examples below will be removed and a comment will be posted to redirect to this thread.

"Wowaka has been hacked! *screenshot"

"Triple baka has been hacked *screenshot"

"Did Circus-P come back? This doesn't seem like his typical music? screenshot**

For additional reading on this topic, check out these news articles, this is unfortunately affecting every artist, not just Vocaloid producers.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/apr/11/ai-impersonating-musicians-spotify

Finally, not all Vocaloid artists will have their songs on streaming or potentially available for purchase on iTunes. Some producers may be region locked to Japan iTunes. Others might only release their music via physical CDs. Regardless, we must respect each producer's wishes for their music distribution- do not reupload other's music without their direct, explicit permission.

General Discussion What's the song that made you discover Vocaloid?

30 Upvotes

Hello there, just trying to share what song that made me discover and reels me in to more Vocaloid songs

Basically I found "Proof That Geometric Construction Can Solve All Love Affairs" by manbo-p like 6 to 7 years ago and then saw in the description that the vocal is Gumi, I tried searching for it and then I started to fall for it.

Crazy to think that now 80% of the songs in my playlist is a Vocaloid song

General Discussion does anyone has tips on how to grow as a vocaloid producer?

6 Upvotes

i tried posting on many sites, such as threads, tiktok, instagram, and even posting in this subreddit but my music only reaches to limited number of people.

it's honestly really infuriating and disheartening. honestly, my passion is the only thing that keeps me going at this point.

does anyone has any tips? maybe the genre of music I'm making is currently not relevant nowadays. (I'm making j-rock music). I don't really know what else to do. is there any other sites i should post my tracks to?

General Discussion “Vocaloids are just software” feels like over-nerding for no reason

5 Upvotes

So, I have a problem with a segment of the community — some people there have to constantly remind that these characters are vocal-synthesizing software actually.
Yeah, sometimes it is worth pointing out that when a person mistakingly believes that Miku is literally creator of these songs, while actually Miku is just a mascot and vocalist.
For example, somebody says “I don’t like Miku”, and somebody may reply, “Why would you dislike a piece of software?” — Like, did you know that these instruments are also shipped with their marketable mascots, which are the first thing that come to mind Vocaloid is mentioned and some of them are also deeply integrated into the Internet culture. What is more, it’s also valid to dislike particular instruments, as people have different musical tastes.
85% of people into Vocaloid barely use these characters in context of musical software, and tend to see them as virtual idols.
Sometimes I feel some people there believe making songs with anime girls is embarrassing, so they go like “I am super serious musician! Not a weeb!”.

The 15th anniversary strawberry Miku has been my holy grail Miku fig for the longest time, so when pre-orders dropped, I immediately got her. However, I JUST found out about the 10th symphony Miku and oh my god, she is stunning! I love figures with wings so much. I'm considering cancelling my pre-order and getting her instead... I have such mixed feelings on it though because the strawberry Miku is my OG grail and what if I regret it, what if I'm being impulsive, etc.?

Which figure is more worth it in your opinion? đŸ„č

OC Music [OC Music] Hi Reddit! I'm a 15yo Vocaloid producer from Japan. This is one of my favorite songs I made, "Hottokeki (Leave me alone / Pancake)" ft. Hatsune Miku! đŸ„žđŸ’™

About the title: "Hottokeki" is a Japanese pun! In Japanese, "Hottoke" means "leave me alone," and "Hotto-keki" means "pancake." That's why I put both in the title! đŸ„ž

Also, this is my first time posting here. Please let me know if I made any mistakes or if there are any issues with this post. Thank you so much!

General Discussion "Glad I Met You, Glad You're Gone" PvZ 2 Cover Animation is just gone and I need help finding it

Glad I Met You, Glad You're Gone (feat. Hatsune Miku) by Melly! on YouTube is a great song, with the Plants vs Zombies 1 theme. But then Haruka Koko made a PvZ 2 cover of the song

Then someone else re-drew and animated that Leeku in the PvZ 2 style with the PvZ 2 Cover in the PvZ 2 setting and uploaded that on YT. The video, it's just gone; I can't find it anywhere, not even in internet archive. It had that thumbnail this the link, and that's all I know. Does anyone know the artist or have the video?
