[faq] PangYa (JP) X VOCALOID

Finally, I decided to do it. I mean doing a post about the biggest Pangya Event yet : PangYa X Vocaloid. It's fun to do it once the event is over but I guess it can't be helped~
There's A LOT of things to say about Vocaloid so I'll simply focus on the Pangya's part of it.

I - Vocaloid Introduce
( Wondering about what is Vocaloid after all ? )

Let's simply quote http://www.vocaloid.com/ :

"VOCALOID is a vocal-synthesizing software that enables song writers to generate authentic-sounding singing on their PCs by simply typing in the lyrics and music notes of their compositions. The software synthesizes the sound from "vocal libraries" of recordings of actual singers, retaining the vocal qualities of the original singing voices to reproduce realistic vocals. The software also features simple commands that enable users to add expressive effects - such as vibrato and pitch bends - to their synthesized vocals. Additional releases to the range of vocal libraries currently available will broaden the range of voices and singing styles that can be generated by VOCALOID. VOCALOID can generate singing in Japanese and English. It runs on Windows 2000/XP."

The part which interest us is that each voice is associated with a character with a fashion manga design (designer : Kei) driving all the otakus from Japan crazy.

At first, nobody really care. But one day, they released a new vocaloid called Hatsune Miku. Her voice is based on a human's voice one (Saki Fujita) making it more real and her design was very original. The phenomenon took a lot of significance and we started to see fanarts pop'ing out along with music videos made by the fans.

That's why Japan Pangya decided to do this event. Maybe in order to bring up both vocaloid's fan into the game and players to buy the brand new related items. Good job.

I - The First Year Event
( When we still didn't know there's more )

a/ Hatsune "Mikooh"











Of course, it was obvious that the event would be introduced with Hatsune Miku. They picked Kooh for her role and it makes sens since they have both two poney tails. Also, Kooh is very popular among the other characters of the game. If I remember well her name means "first sound".

Hatsune Miku is the first vocaloid with a voice based on a human voice sample (original seiyuu is Saki Fujita), allowing her to sing better than the previous vocaloid. The popularity of the software grow fast since her release. Her personal item is a leek since she became famous with a fan music video "Levan Polkka" (check youtube for that).

b/ Kagamine "Rin'Erika"











Kagamine Rin got released in a brand new CD (or an extension one) along with her twin brother Ren. Because of that Erika and Ken took their roles since they look alike in terms of eyes and height. (Kagamine seems to mean "Sound like mirrors" obviously because they are twins btw)

Rin is based on a human voice sample too, the seiyuu who lent her voice to both Rin and Ren is Asami Shimoda but we don't really care since they don't have any clubset who give them voices like Miku and Luka.

...
I love oranges.

I - The Second Year
( You thought it was over...? It wasn't. )

Then, because they released a new Vocaloid called Megurine Luka who made a huge impact among the Vocaloid fans for her design and the fact that she's the best when it comes to sing in english they decided to add her in Pangya.
That's why they launched PangYa X VOCALOID 2.

Also, a lot of players asked for the rerelease of the old vocaloids in the shop so they did, except the "Negi" Clubset sadly. Basically allowing you to buy 7 vocaloids in the same time !
Check it out below.

a/ Megurine "Lukarin"











And Arin is the one who have her role. Once again, it makes sense since they have both around the same age, huge boobs, stuff like that...
As I say, Megurine Luka is the first one really speaking english even if it is still not perfect. Her design as always made by Kei really seemed to be inspired of Tear from Tales of the Abyss (sorry for the hotlinking......I'll change that if I'm not too bored XD...)

Her name's kanjis means something like "the sound which travels". I think that's because she speak english...
Her item is a tuna. And you'll see it's important to know that...
Why ? Megurine > MGR > Maguro (thanks Hinano :p). And Maguro means tuna. Simple.

Luckily, I have this set so I'll show you more than the others Vocaloids.
Also, nobody care but I have to say that she's my personal favourite. Love her design and her sexyness.

b/ PangYa X Megurine Luka Event

This sub-event take place during the whole PangYa X VOCALOID Event, as a side bonus.
It allows you to get Tako Luka hats for every characters of the game. Uh wait ? Tako Luka ? What is this ? In fact it's simply Luka turned into an octopus (たこ means octopus). In Pangya it's an item which take the "hat" slot and makes your character looking ... strange. Or stupid. As you want.

たこルカ (Tako Ruka)






ルーキーF
Spin 1/+1
Accuracy 0/+1
(Note : the stats provided are the same for all the characters)

The concept of the event is simple : check the screenshot below to understand better (that's mine).

Here, I have 3TP.
For 50TP you can get one Tako Luka hat.
To get 1TP you have to play 10 minutes.
Which means you have to play 8 hours and a half. To get one Tako Luka hat.
Which also means you would have to play 75 hours to get all the Tako Luka hats. Fortunatly, you start the event with 50TP allowing you to get a Tako Luka for your favorite character from the beginning and reduce the number of hours to get them all to 66 hours and a half within a month.

Let's simply say that the more you play the more Tako Luka hats you can get. Sadly, this screenshots date from the day before the event close meaning I miss two tako lukas. Here the screenshots of those I have (click to full view ofc).










(As you can see, Cecilia and Daisuke are missing)

If you don't want to play like a nolife to get all the tako luka they are also available through the shop for 29CP but who care since you can get some for free ?

d/ Cecilia Meiko











Honestly, when they released her I started to think "isn't it pushed a little bit too far ?". But...who can really complain ? The parents of the whole Vocaloid family, Meiko and Kaito join Pangya too.

Isn't that sweet ? They don't want to let their kids alone.
Yup. They are both considered by the fans as the parents of the "grand vocaloid family" because they are the really first Vocaloids created way before Miku. Meaning their voices are 100% synthetic and they sound more like robot, however, because of that, their voices are more flexible.

Who is the oldest woman of the game take Meiko's role. That's, once again, logical. I also think Cecilia has the role of the older sister in Pangya, or something like that. I think it really fit her.

e/ "Kaitokaz"











Guuh...?! Why Kaz ? Max should take the role, he doesn't have any special costume and it would be good for his lack of popularity. Well, Kaz is very popular and more girlish than Max but I don't think Kaito is THAT girlish... Geez, huge disapointment.

Anyway, as I previously say, Kaz is considered as the father of the whole Vocaloid family for the same reason than Meiko. His voice his 100% artificial. He's veryyyyyy popular among the female fans for his bishie side. Personal note : his item is an ice cream, and it makes me laugh because as a bishie I totally see him eating an ice cream with conviction like "mmmmmmmh...this ice cream is...uh...so good..." and all the fangirls around driving crazy.

Anyway I like him too but for his vocals. I offten think that he doesn't sing that bad and I appreciate a man voice time to time.

f/ "Luciakine" Meiko



Honestly, that's not a thatbad idea. People told me that she wasn't an official Vocaloid but apparently Crypton Future Media recognized this fan creation as part of the official Vocaloid "team". So, in fact, she's official.

Basically, it's just Meiko in a younger and idol version. She's even playable in Hatsune Miku Project Diva on PSP so yes, she's in fact official. An "idol version" ? Can it fit Lucia more than that ? I don't think so. The hairstyle make the whole set very interesting for all Lucia's fan even If personally didn't like it.

IV - Pangya BGM remixes

They also made some BGM remix from the game of PangYa itself. The work is pretty good most, of the time. You were able to hear them on the main screen during both first year and second year events. Basically, each time they put a new vocaloid, they also put a remix where the vocaloid itself sing.

Download them all at one below :








~PangYa X Vocaloid BGM Remix~
• A Shiny Day (Remix) - Hatsune Miku
• Bunny Picnic (Remix) - Hatsune Miku
• Revive (Remix, Original by ESTi) - Kagamine Rin (chorus by Kagamine Len)
• Crystal Lake (Remix) - Kagamine Len
• Nowhere (Remix) - Megurine Luka
• Snowscape (Remix) - (Sakine) MEIKO & KAITO

Personal (and intersting) note : For Snowscap, they used a robotic sound sample which is the same used in Zero Fill Love and Super Music Maker. Fun isn't it ? Some kind of "3,2,1". (thanks to Tomato for that btw)

V - Notes about this faq
( Things you should know about this faq )

This is exclusive work made by Mainlless (also knows as "mouny" on Pangya EU and "(e35)" on Pangya US) for Beam Sabre Beat ZERO, eventually Pangya-FR.com too and all Pangya's fans in general. Honestly, I don't think it can be really more comprehensive than that.

I don't think it will, but I want to say it before something bad actually happen. I have no problem if you put this work somewhere else as long as you credit me. I have nothing planned if someone steal my work but be sure I'll do something if it happens.

I worked very hard on this faq and I'll be sad if I see any piece of my work badly stolen somewhere else...I do not think it will happen once again but who knows...

Also, I have to say that some stuff don't come from nowhere, of course I searched on the net to find it. If some belongs to you please tell me and I'll credit you. Normally, it was free-to-use but I can't be 100% sure.
