Founded by Kenmochi Hideki in Spain, it was thought of a singing computer. Originally English, the first vocaloids using the Vocaloid software at the time were LEON and LOLA, both British-accented English released at the same time with the launch of the Vocaloid Software in January 15, 2004. MIRIAM was later released as a South African-accented English vocaloid. She was in the very first vocaloid concert in Russia, voice only. The very first Japanese vocaloids were MEIKO (November 2004) and KAITO (February 2006). Vocaloid 2 is an updated version, with its first V2, Sweet Ann. So far, all vocaloid were made for professional use.

Hatsune Miku was made in August 2007, who is the first vocaloid by Crypton Future Media, the first Japanese V2, and the first to have a character design for better marketing. She carried Vocaloid as well. Since then, every other vocaloid had a design for better marketing, but also to represent them.

Vocaloid 3 is a better version that supports 5 languages: English, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, and Chinese. It also has realistic sounding vocals.

Vocaloid 4 is the latest updated version that allows the ability to growl, and cross-synthesis. By this time, there are over 90+ vocaloids.

Vocaloid isn't the first voice synth program, and there are other programs, like UTAU, Alter/Ego, CeVIO, NIAONiao, MUTA, Vocalina, etc.

it's basically anime music.

Vocaloid is a singing synthesis software created by Yamaha. Standing for "Vocal Android" it is a computer program which you can use various singing voices to create songs. Each voice is provided by a "seiyuu" or voice actor, and then named and given box art. The first Vocaloids were "Leon" and "Lola" created by Zero-G who sing in English. Then they also released Mirium. After this the first Japanese Vocaloid was released, "Meiko". After this "Kaito" was released, the first Japanese male. Vocaloid 2 was the updated version of the program, and the first voice released was "Sweet Ann" by PowerFX. Crypton, another Japanese company then released "Hatsune Miku", who is now the most popular and well known Vocaloid. Vocaloids later released by Crypton, in order of release are "Kagamine Rin and Len" and "Megurine Luka". Various other notable Vocaloids by different companies are "Gackpoid", "Megpoid", "Prima", "Hiyama Kiyoteru", "Kaai Yuki","SF-A2 Miki", "Sonika" and "Big Al". An update for "Hatsune Miku" was later released, named "Hatsune Miku Append". This contained 6 human-like voices suited to different genres. The other Crypton Vocaloids are also scheduled for Appends. Vocaloid 3 has been confirmed, and will be the most realistic sounding program yet.

Vocaloid is a computer software developed by the Yamaha Corporation, famous for its musical software, motorcycles, and pianos. Vocaloid is intended to be used for the purpose of creating songs, as it is a singing synthesizer. To use, one inputs a melody and lyrics into a pianoroll interface, selects the voice(s) they would like to sing the song (i.e. the famous Hatsune Miku), and selects the 'Play' function of the software. There are currently 25 released Vocaloids, which can sing in English and Japanese, and in a short matter of time, in Chinese, Korean, and Spanish. Vocaloid is usually either loved (by fans of J-pop and anime) or detested (by those who are not J-pop or anime fans). The most popular are Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin/Len. Users of Vocaloid to create original songs are commonly referred to as "Producers". Notable "Producers" are 'Akuno-P/mothy', whose complex stories bring a tear to one's eye, 'Owata-P', who makes viewers laugh with his silly songs, and 'Machigeriita-P', who has successfully given Vocaloid lovers the chills with his horror-filled masterpieces.

Everybody thinks it’s an anime! (It’s not, although a Vocaloid anime would be cool).

Ok, but it’s a stupidly expensive voice synthesizer. Yamaha was high AF on crack and priced it WAY TOO HIGH

An extremely awesome music-making software. It has countless characters to choose from with different voices. They sing best with Japanese, probably because their origins come from Nico Nico Douga. The pack includes some that aren't Vocaloids but still are included, like Kasane Teto, and remade Miku Hatsune's, like Haku, Teto, and Neru.

Vocaloid is a well-known Japanese meme, probably because of their uniqueness, their ability to sing anything, even English songs.

Vocaloid is a software that you have to pay and know Japanese kanji. The yen/dollars needed to buy the software is very expensive.

"VOCALOID" is a singing synthesizer produced by the YAMAHA corporation. You enter the lyrics of a song into the program, add music, and then you can have one of the Vocaloids sing for you. Some of the vocaloids are MEIKO, KAITO, Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Gumi Megpoid, Kamui Gapuko, and Megurine Luka. Vocaloid is neither an official Anime or Manga. It is only a singing software.
