_{I literally had everything written out then deviantart decided to have the site maintenance so I lost all my progress. RIP deviantart i hope you're proud of yourselves.}

WonFes is finally over! Once I got home from the airport I immediately got on the laptop and made sure I didn't miss a thing it was super intense omf-- We had lots of figurines announced, and my wish of getting one of the Tourabu nendos came true! However this was both a happy and solemn week for the VOCALOID fandom. Please take a look in the General Section for more info!

~Special Vocaloid Rankings~

EXIT TUNES has mainly featured Miku, Rin, Len, Luka, Kaito, Meiko, Gumi, Gakupo, IA and MAYU in their CDs. However, 5 out of the 10 Vocaloids aren't gaining the popularity as expected, so here's a section that focuses on the songs by Luka, Meiko, Kaito, Gakupo and MAYU songs that get into the rankings.

Nothing this week!

~New Merchandise Section~

This section is dedicated to all obtainable Vocaloid merchandise _{because usarei is a dirty merch lover}. Merchandise that is only obtainable in Japan will not be posted unless it's extremely important.

WonFes might be over, but my hype for it hasn't died down a bit! We got lots of new VOCALOID figurines announced, so let's get into it.

 
Tony Taka's Rin prototype has been revealed, and she already looks lovely! I can't wait to see her painted aaaaaaaaa


Mebae's Miku 1/7 scale prototype has been completed!

And when you thought 2 mikudayos weren't enough...


Nendoroid Snow Mikudayo and...

 
...the recently teased Nendoriod Kasane Teto!! Imagine how cute she would be with her little bread in her arms omf-- The picture on the right is the SEGA x Hatsune Miku x Nendoroid Code announcement! Since only Miku's name is on there I'm expecting well.. Miku stuff only /weeps but just in case you're not familiar with Nendoroid Code, it was introduced quite some time ago where you can interchange the parts of the nendoroid like the head, torso and legs. It's pretty much like dressing up paper dolls except with nendoroids.

Lily Oiran ver. from Phat! and CuteRody x VOCALOID pull back cars!

  
Shingeki no Bahamut 1/7 scale Hatsune Miku Winter Heroine ver. and 1/7 scale Hatsune Miku Orange Blossom ver.


And would you look at this! Luka V4x is getting a 1/4 scale from FREEing too! If you remember the 1/4 scale Miku V3 which was also by FREEing, imagine that and apply a Luka V4x to it yes there you go that's how big she'll be


FREEing is also making Miku and Luka swimsuit figurines! i want rin and len


The Miku illustration from Mitchie M's album 'The Greatest Idol' has been painted and finished! According to hama, she'll be up for preorder soon.

And that was all from the Summer WonFes 2015! The next wonfes will be held next year in Winter, and I'm hoping the Kagamines get more figurines In the meantime, listen to the sound of my wallet emptying due to Touken Ranbu figurines.

 ~General Vocaloid News Section + Free Talk Section~

A section dedicated to the main news in VOCALOID, as well as other random things that happened throughout the week!

Let's welcome our new V4 VOCALOID, Sachiko!


She was voiced by none other than the legendary Kobayashi Sachiko, known for her beautiful enka singing! Unfortunately Sachiko (VOCALOID) isn't really versatile since she specializes in enka and traditional songs, but imagine if someone makes her sing with Iroha omf it'll be beautiful..
Here's her official demo:


Now for a change of pace.
Powapowa-P, also known as Siinamota in the VOCALOID fandom has passed away on the 23rd of July, 2015 at age 20. The cause of his passing is still unknown. His last song, 'Aka Pen Onegaishimasu' was uploaded a few hours before he passed away.

Powapowa has written some of my favourite Kagamine songs which I have reviewed in these journals over the years, like『Q』, Shoujo A and City Lights. I've always really liked powapowa's light-pop kind of style and it really separated him from other producers out there.

My deepest condolences go out to his friends and family, and may he rest in peace. In the meantime, here is his most famous song, Strobe Last by Miku on NND and my favourite song by him,『Q』.
