(Anonymous) 2015-10-30 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)I mean sure, there are real humans behind the music. But the fact that it's sung by a fictional character gives the music a lot of freedom. It's like the music has more place to exist for its own sake. At least that's how I feel about it.

Oh yes, definitely! There being no "canon" for the Vocaloids themselves is a huge part of the appeal for me. The concept of a singer who is a blank slate, lacking any set personality, and thus can have any emotion or viewpoint projected on to them by the listener is something I find really fascinating.
I kind of want to write a paper examining how the lack of canon influences the fandom and its output, and how it's an important aspect of the Vocaloid being a sort of interactive fandom where the fans are the creators and no one interpretation of the "characters" is more true or valid than any other.
IT'S ALL JUST SO COOL! :D

It's really appealing how there are no right or wrong interpreatations for the Vocaloid characters. You're completely free to interpret them any way you like.
And I also like the fact that no gossip magazine is able to ruin any of the characters/music for me. With real life musicians there's always an actual person connected to the music, but the Vocaloids stand for nothing but themself. Yeah sure, I know that there can also be some fandom drama involved with the producers of the vocaloid songs. But that drama is a thing of its own and doesn't affect the Vocaloid characters involved.
I also realized that's the reason I prefer anime and books over real life tv/movies. With those a character is never really free, they're always tied to a real person. But in anime and books characters are always nothing but themself.
