entomologists was a rlly experimental track for ghost even at the time, most of their music didnt sound like that. i like the unique sound but i can see why they remade it
Truly some of the most underrated composer and voicebank, respectively. Thankfully niki have got some spotlight here and there lately, from composing Towa's first original song to getting commisioned to do an original song for Proseka. IA, though, tough luck. Probably will be underrated forever at this point
@@HikariKengo IA is actually one of the most popular VOCALOIDs. Personally, I don't like Lily's vb. She sounds like a man, in my opinion. Still, I'm glad when I see people using lesser known vocals for original songs. It's always nice to hear a VOCALOID other than Miku, Rin, Len, flower, IA or GUMI ._.
Saaaaammmmme. It’s honestly really upsetting as someone who does love the original vocals by Lily(and honestly prefer the original Close to you then the Kyaami cover. The original just has this “trying to stay calm yet wavering but it hurts” feel to it, and while I do like Kyaami’s cover and how emotional it is because of her tuning of VFlower, I find the original’s sound more relatable at how quiet and intimate it is). It really comes down to preference in tuning, and get why people love the realistic tuning of the covers of niki’s songs, but honestly being in the cover scene and seeing realistic tuning being so widely used, I’ve basically become quite used to hearing that way of tuning so I’m not as wowed by it anymore. I just wish for more people to embrace the robotic sound of Vocaloid more considering that was always meant to be the “original sound” of Vocaloid. Not to say I dislike realistic tuning, I love them too and at times prefer some of the covers over the originals, but you tend to see why so many people are drawn towards those covers because of said realism, and I just wish people could appreciate the more robotic qualities Vocaloid(and to the same extent Utauloid) brings to the table when being used for songs. It’s one of the reasons why I’m really not a fan of Ritsu’s AI VB. I prefer his UTAU VB much more in sound because of its robotic uniqueness of his voice.
Another one is Let's Say the P Names by MARETU ft. Hatsune Miku & Kagamine Rin, but most people only know the Rin and Len version by Orebanana and Ouen UtaP
Generally suprised you knew the producer of the bannana song as their name has rarely been mentioned. Also fun fact. The original version of rugrats theroy was lost media at one point. It is currently partially found as the pv is missing but not the audio.
-ERROR's story as a Ritsu cover is very fascinating. -ERROR was a somewhat popular but relatively obscure niki song (in the west at least, back then Lily was considered out of people's tastes as the fanbase wasn't mature enough to collectively appreciate the voice more than the design, not to mention she was pretty difficult to sound good due to all of her glitches). Namine Ritsu had just gotten the Kire voicebank that made him sound like a Vocaloid with the correct tuning, and damn did Cillia nail it. Not only did niki become a staple of covers in the west after it (you KNEW that any new vocaloid would get an ERROR cover within the first days of release), Cillia was declared a Ritsu master on NND, she collaborated with the pixiv illustrator of the picture she used for a companion illustration for +REVERSE, her cover was released as a single for KarenT, she collaborated with Canon (Ritsu's voicer) multiple times, and her UTAU OC was elevated to near proffessional levels of design and recording quality due to her collabs with Canon and the pixiv illustrator. Her tuning work even got her to work for Yamaha at one point for Vocaloid demos and tuning tutorials, visiting Japan for livestreams and nico lives. This stuff was wild and an amazing achievement for an overseas user.
Kyaami loved niki’s songs and really wanted to bring them over to have more people hear niki’s music, so she made covers to spread the word. Not just -ERROR, but Niki’s songs in general afterwards are a huge staple in the cover Artist community because of Kyaami; there are so just many covers of Niki’s songs, it’s _staggering._ Kyaami paved the way for that because she continued to cover many of niki’s songs afterwards like FLARE, FIRST, and JITTER DOLL, even collaborated with niki creating SILENCE using Avanna and made the awesome cover of Shadow Haze Variation using Meiko. As cool as this all is though, admittedly it does sadden me that in due to her wanting people to hear niki’s music, in turn meant most people would flock to her than to niki themselves. Not to say niki didn’t get any credit, nowadays niki is pretty well known and has been really grateful to Kyaami for everything, but his work is still very much overshadowed generally speaking. It’s nice to see though in recent years people coming to appreciate and love the original songs sung by Lily, and in turn staying to hear more from niki
@@ZoulStar I really need to listen to more niki songs, especially since I love Lily. I only know the most popular ones + Decode sung by ARSLOID, but I need to dig deeper. WAVE is such an empowering song to me, it fills me with so much energy and I love it with all my heart
@@entropyvitalizer Eyes is an underrated gem by niki that was an album exclusive and it’s one of my faves to this day. Winter Words, Flare, Tremolo Fly, Terrorist, Face and Prototype are also really good and I definitely recommend checking em out along with the rest of niki’s discography! To suggest some more obscure and underrated songs by niki, Beyond is another great song that uses Utauloid Sekka Yufu. There’s also the rerelease version of it on his ERROR album using Miku that’s also really good. And speaking of alternative versions of songs, there’s an album exclusive version of WAVE that exists where niki uses Rin if you’re interested in checking that out. There are also songs he wrote/collaborated with other people that I also recommend checking out, underrated collabs such as TRICK sung by Kradness, and OUR FAVOURITE SONG by Shannon Ft. Justin Ly are such great songs! Hope this helps!
Fun fact about “Teto Territory” and “It’s always Cirno’s Turn.” After Teto Territory, “Cirno’s Math Class” was made which was also based on the original Cirno song, so it kind of came full circle in a fun way.
Another example of human songs being more popular is the bad girl online cover by Oktavia. The gacha and daganrompa are to blame due to trends but the cover has over 8m more views than the original by wonderful opportunity that uses Rin. The numbers are still going up, despite the cover artist's attempt to push people to the original song. Currently the cover is at 9.7m and the og is at 1m
Rats Died too. I love Oktavia, she's my favourite musician, (and she herself said she's not comfortable with how her covers are more known than some originals) but it's kinda sad seeing people using her covers not even knowing they're COVERS.
For the “human cover being more popular than Vocaloid original”, I would like to mention Love Ka by Hiiragi Kirai. While the original one, which was sung by VFlower, has an impressive 14,000,000 views, the Ado version has a whopping 45,000,000 VIEWS! I always liked the original better though, the way Flower is tuned makes it charming, but Ado's is good too.
I feel like a lotta people don't know Eve is also a vocaloid producer. I mean, I've been obsessed with his songs for most of the year and I only learned that a week or two ago
Since Entomologists was mentioned (fantastic song btw!), I'd also like to bring up Ghost's Japanese remix of Creative with Rana and Piko (originally by Creep-P with Avanna and Kaito)! Both are great, but I believe Ghost's version is more popular.
@@ikeasotbarnslig5228 Oh yes, I love this song and remix! I checked and it's true, the remix has more views. I might include it in part 2 if I'll make it
I barely see people mentioning the OG, I've seen more people talk about the MEIKO version so I felt like a lot of them don't know about the original. I personally prefer the OG, because in my opinion Miku's gentle voice fits the tone of the song better, but tuning in the MEIKO cover is gorgeous
@@entropyvitalizer this is my alt account but, I think it's got to do with the fact that as a song, the snow White princess sung by Miku got more views but the Meiko cover made a stronger impact on the Vocaloid community, if that makes sense (and as well as giving us Meiko fans the validation we deserve for being Meiko fans as the song provides a great example of what Meiko can do (don't even get me started on the Meiko justice guy, the tuning makes her sound so much more mature))
one major omission i think is the fox's wedding, which is _hugely_ popular but has another og version that is still somewhat popular but i think gets overlooked a lot. also really sad the sonika version of biohazard is more popular than the og, i love the og so much
The Fox's Wedding has like 4 versions tbh 😭 (original, remake, album version and remix) And yes, Aiko's voice is amazing and so powerful! Fits this song perfectly
I had the shock of my life last time when I learned that therefore you and me and electric Angel were originally miku songs. It’s true I think it’s good for letting people know the original songs
@@stacki1040it's not something to be surprised about since giga is really popular with songs in and out of vocaloid (during Giga and Reol duo era) and found it from searching about Giga that a channel from (currently 11 years ago) uploaded that cover into youtube since it was only uploaded in Nico Nico (hence, you don't know about it). I also didn't know about the original being from Miku as at that time, the cover just had more traction due to it being so upbeat and catchy from the twin vocaloids.
Oh I found most vocaloid songs from animations and I found an electric Angel animation and they used the rin and Len cover since I didn’t really check back I didnt find out it was a cover :P
i adore you for putting in the ia vers of abnormality dancin' girl sm omg ❤️ i've never seen anyone outside of a few people talk about it. strange to me given the flower vers is so popular, def needs more attention.
7:54 WAS SPART OF MY CHILDHOOD AND ONLY RECENTLY WHEN I GOT INTO VOCALOID DID I EVEN FOUND OUT IT WAS VOCALOID (EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY HEARD THE ORIGINAL VERSION AS WELL FROM THOSE MULTI LANGUAGE VIDEOS, I WAS UNAWARE 😅)
The original version of Entomologists has always creeped the hell outta me. The remake is more "listenable" as a song, but the original will always be the better version to me because its just so unsettling.
That's exactly what I was thinking. The remake is better to listen to, but the original is so creepy and unsettling. It's genuinely creepier than most horror stuff I've seen
@@entropyvitalizer exactly! I'd put it up on the same tier as Crushed Mary, honestly. They're more "art" than "song" in my humble opinion. And they've both made me sleep with the lights on a couple times LMAO
@@kouhai2456 It's the same for a lot of horror songs, like Kyoufu Garden, Okaasan etc. They're made to be scary, not "listenable" and that's what makes them unique
@@shinyminunthetheatregeek2036 I think she sounds nice, it’s just that the original sounded better.. because of the autotune in Juby’s voice for the most part.
an example that i have is World's End Umbrella by Hachi, the version with the mv made by Minakata Laboratory is actually a remix, the original version is more "raw" sounding and has a mv drawn by Hachi using a mouse!
NO WAY SMOKE AND MIRRORS WAS ORIGINALLY VOCALOID? This marks the 22nd Vocaloid song I stated as my favorite at the ripe age of 8 ig I was doomed from the start 😭😭
4:39 I was like omg I love this song and then I was like wait why is meiko singing since when was this the most popular version lolol I’ve never seen her sing jt
I CLICKED WHEN I SAW ABNORMALITY DANCING GIRL IMAGINE BEING A DIEHARD GUCHIRY FAN AND NOT KNOWING THAT THE ORIGINAL WAS DONE BY IA (I don’t really think so but ok )
the og was actually done by IA, it's an album exclusive but i think there's a reprint on yt somewhere both vers r by guchiry unless that's not what u meant, then js ignore this comment in that case xd
You could include The Chattering Lack of Common Sense by Ghost, too. The new version has a few millions of views while the old one is... well, deleted. And I assume new Ghost fans don't even know about its existence
actually there are two old versions of chattering! the one you're probably thinking of is unlisted on ghost's channel. the second one has different mixing and tuning.
@@entropyvitalizer That's what I'm talking about! :D Ghost has been making music since early 2013 under other names, and deleted many old songs. Used to collect them when I was younger, but they seem to have a disliking to reuploads, so I don't know if it's fine to show briefly in the video
@@海苔-k3d Ohh, I understand. Maybe I should refrain from showing GHOST's old works. Although in my opinion there's nothing to be embarrassed about, but if the producer doesn't like them anymore, I gotta respect that
for songs that are originally vocaloid, but have more popular human covers, i'd say the eve cover of 'therefore, you and me' originally by tadanaco ft miku & fuuki! found the eve cover in my childhood; didn't find out it was originally a vocaloid/utauloid song until like a year ago!
I’d say another example would be the fox’s wedding by masa and the remake, i was hoping to see it in this video but its okay!! This video was quite interesting ‼️
I KNEW THE KASANE TETO SONG WAS A CIRNO REFERENCE BRO THEY SOUNDED SO SIMILAR (didnt know it was based on another version of a cirno song, i used to thought it was a “Cirno’s perfect math class” reference*
Tbf it was heavily popular in the creepypasta fandom around five years ago, might still be and it was probably popular before then too Funnily enough, I was in the creepypasta fandom back then and that's how I found it. Only this year did I get into Vocaloid and find out Lizz wasn't the original singer of it
The original Shiroi Yuki no Princess wa has much more views, but by "most well-known" I meant that a lot of people talk about the cover and call this song a Meiko song, so I included it because these people still don't seem to know that the original is Miku.

Also I don't know why so many people don't believe me the original Nyan Cat was sung by Miku and insist that the Momo one is the original but, you know, it's not that hard to do some easy research. vocadb.net/S/123 - the Miku one, captioned as an original song

There are also songs he wrote/collaborated with other people that I also recommend checking out, underrated collabs such as TRICK sung by Kradness, and OUR FAVOURITE SONG by Shannon Ft. Justin Ly are such great songs! Hope this helps!
@@ZoulStar Thank you so much for recommendations
i had no idea that entomologists was a remake! the original version is so much more creepy omg
yeah!! a few of ghost's songs are remakes
Yep, I personally feel the original has a more liminal and haunting vibe into it, while the remake is more chorale and religious in vibe.
@@le_roi_renard, agreed. I listen to their remake songs before
0:41 I’VE ALWAYS KNOWN IT AS A MIKU SONG BECAUSE I PLAY PROJECT DIVA 😭😭
edit- thanks for likes or whatever
Me too 😂
FRR 😭
Same lol
frrr
ABNORMALLY DANCING GIRL GOES HARD, BOTH WAYS 💯💯💯🗣️🗣️🗣️
REALL
Wow Teto territory surprised me, same with that ding dong one
FR. Ding Dong remains in my memories and I remember hearing it so much so that we surprising.
the original title is Hide & Seek by Ho-ong-i (SeeU)!!
1:05 how is that a UTAU ???????????????
Yeah, thats an UTAU, Momone Momo, i suppose thats her VCV voicebank but she sounds very smooth here lol
Fun fact about “Teto Territory” and “It’s always Cirno’s Turn.” After Teto Territory, “Cirno’s Math Class” was made which was also based on the original Cirno song, so it kind of came full circle in a fun way.
Facts
Another example of human songs being more popular is the bad girl online cover by Oktavia.
The gacha and daganrompa are to blame due to trends but the cover has over 8m more views than the original by wonderful opportunity that uses Rin.
The numbers are still going up, despite the cover artist's attempt to push people to the original song. Currently the cover is at 9.7m and the og is at 1m
Rats Died too. I love Oktavia, she's my favourite musician, (and she herself said she's not comfortable with how her covers are more known than some originals) but it's kinda sad seeing people using her covers not even knowing they're COVERS.
@@lynneyunyun Yeah she tried to notify people multiple ways but it didn't work
For the “human cover being more popular than Vocaloid original”, I would like to mention Love Ka by Hiiragi Kirai.
While the original one, which was sung by VFlower, has an impressive 14,000,000 views, the Ado version has a whopping 45,000,000 VIEWS!
I always liked the original better though, the way Flower is tuned makes it charming, but Ado's is good too.
Fr tho, I think ados growl suits the song since flower is known for her growls in her voice bank :3
@@UnderworldPrincesslol Actually the Ado version was uploaded simultaneously with the flower one, so in theory both are the original
@@entropyvitalizer Eh, still consider the VFlower one as the original. I reckon it was MADE first, and then they got Ado to cover it later.
@@UnderworldPrincesslol It's possible
@@UnderworldPrincesslol either way i love them both (tho im biased bcuz i live laugh love vflower)
8:12 THIS IS A VOCALOID SONG?-
00:55 my jaw DROPPED (THATS VOCALOID??)
I WAS SO SURPRISED TOO WHEN I SAW THAT
So close! Nyan cat is voiced by an UTAU, not a Vocaloid. Hope this helps ❤️
@@wortonhearsawh5000hatsune miku sings the original
@@LuvlyTsukii the iconic Nyan cat song is an UTAU cover, the original is Miku but she isn't associated with Nyan cat
THAT SHOCKED ME OMG
Therefore you and me
well known version : Eve
Original : hatsune miku
heh :)
I feel like a lotta people don't know Eve is also a vocaloid producer. I mean, I've been obsessed with his songs for most of the year and I only learned that a week or two ago
Therefore You and me vocaloid versión has a Utau in the chorus,i don't rembember the Utau name because it's long but they have an utau
I was waiting for hated by life itself Mafumafu cover since a whole bunch of people think it’s the og lol.
Since Entomologists was mentioned (fantastic song btw!), I'd also like to bring up Ghost's Japanese remix of Creative with Rana and Piko (originally by Creep-P with Avanna and Kaito)! Both are great, but I believe Ghost's version is more popular.
@@ikeasotbarnslig5228 Oh yes, I love this song and remix! I checked and it's true, the remix has more views. I might include it in part 2 if I'll make it
It has to be the original Biohazard for me, Kikyuune's voice is just special in that song
Actually, her name is Aiko. "Kikyuune" is her last name.
SAME
Real, there’s something missing in the Sonika cover
Learning that Teto Territory is not an original song just gutted me dude
4:52 wait I never even knew the well known one was meiko 😭 always knew it was miku
ngl for shinitai chan the og is better 🙏🏼
Unfortunately, the snow white princess is cover isn't more popular than the og miku version even though Meiko sings it better
I barely see people mentioning the OG, I've seen more people talk about the MEIKO version so I felt like a lot of them don't know about the original. I personally prefer the OG, because in my opinion Miku's gentle voice fits the tone of the song better, but tuning in the MEIKO cover is gorgeous
@@entropyvitalizer this is my alt account but, I think it's got to do with the fact that as a song, the snow White princess sung by Miku got more views but the Meiko cover made a stronger impact on the Vocaloid community, if that makes sense (and as well as giving us Meiko fans the validation we deserve for being Meiko fans as the song provides a great example of what Meiko can do (don't even get me started on the Meiko justice guy, the tuning makes her sound so much more mature))
Oh my god the meiko version is beautiful
i was shocked when i first found out MEIKO wasn’t the original version, i think it fits her so well
The rin cover is also really good
for 6:44 you could put mind brand by maretu! (jubyphonics cover has 24 million, while the og has 14 million)
Jubyphonic made a mind brand cover???
@@TheDragonMaster-TDM yeah you can find it on her acc
what thedragonmaster said
@@momo-cm7rq I still feel like most people know the original version tho
@@entropyvitalizer yeah cause i had no idea juby made a cover😭
one major omission i think is the fox's wedding, which is _hugely_ popular but has another og version that is still somewhat popular but i think gets overlooked a lot.
also really sad the sonika version of biohazard is more popular than the og, i love the og so much
The Fox's Wedding has like 4 versions tbh 😭 (original, remake, album version and remix)
And yes, Aiko's voice is amazing and so powerful! Fits this song perfectly
Paranoia(?) - Young Girl A
Cute Depressed - Lost Umbrella
I had the shock of my life last time when I learned that therefore you and me and electric Angel were originally miku songs. It’s true I think it’s good for letting people know the original songs
where did you hear electric angel that you didn't know that? seriously asking, i didn't even know giga did a cover
@@stacki1040it's not something to be surprised about since giga is really popular with songs in and out of vocaloid (during Giga and Reol duo era) and found it from searching about Giga that a channel from (currently 11 years ago) uploaded that cover into youtube since it was only uploaded in Nico Nico (hence, you don't know about it).
I also didn't know about the original being from Miku as at that time, the cover just had more traction due to it being so upbeat and catchy from the twin vocaloids.
@@MysticMocha That makes sense! Thanks!
Oh I found most vocaloid songs from animations and I found an electric Angel animation and they used the rin and Len cover since I didn’t really check back I didnt find out it was a cover :P
i just learned right now that Electric Angel wasn’t a Giga-P song…i guess cause I found it on osu 9 years ago and didn’t question it
i adore you for putting in the ia vers of abnormality dancin' girl sm omg ❤️ i've never seen anyone outside of a few people talk about it. strange to me given the flower vers is so popular, def needs more attention.
@@newhumanrace Guchiry never released the original version on their channel, so I can see why
I didn’t think ghost and pals would be here!?
The og miss wanna die Japanese ver is way better than the eng cover imo
8:02
am I tthe only one who thought this cover was sung by wolfychu
7:54 WAS SPART OF MY CHILDHOOD AND ONLY RECENTLY WHEN I GOT INTO VOCALOID DID I EVEN FOUND OUT IT WAS VOCALOID (EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY HEARD THE ORIGINAL VERSION AS WELL FROM THOSE MULTI LANGUAGE VIDEOS, I WAS UNAWARE 😅)
The original version of Entomologists has always creeped the hell outta me. The remake is more "listenable" as a song, but the original will always be the better version to me because its just so unsettling.
That's exactly what I was thinking. The remake is better to listen to, but the original is so creepy and unsettling. It's genuinely creepier than most horror stuff I've seen
@@entropyvitalizer exactly! I'd put it up on the same tier as Crushed Mary, honestly. They're more "art" than "song" in my humble opinion. And they've both made me sleep with the lights on a couple times LMAO
@@kouhai2456 It's the same for a lot of horror songs, like Kyoufu Garden, Okaasan etc. They're made to be scary, not "listenable" and that's what makes them unique
@@entropyvitalizer "Okaasan" relaxes me
@@gryficowa OMG GRYFICOWA, LEGENDA RUclips'A
I always loved the original Shinitai-chan more..
I was mad when the cover was way more well known, because the vocaloid was just way better.
@@Azure_Sky222 You get it!!
Yeah I'm... Let's say I'm not a huge Juby fan
@@shinyminunthetheatregeek2036 I think she sounds nice, it’s just that the original sounded better.. because of the autotune in Juby’s voice for the most part.
The OG sounds so much better, I may just have beef with Juby but she always sounds like she's straining her voice really badly
an example that i have is World's End Umbrella by Hachi, the version with the mv made by Minakata Laboratory is actually a remix, the original version is more "raw" sounding and has a mv drawn by Hachi using a mouse!
NO WAY SMOKE AND MIRRORS WAS ORIGINALLY VOCALOID? This marks the 22nd Vocaloid song I stated as my favorite at the ripe age of 8 ig I was doomed from the start 😭😭
WHATTTT OMG
I wish the original version of close to you was more popular, lily's so underrated
Guchiry also has another song with a more popular version. It’s Schadenfreude, which’s remake is much more popular (rightfully, it’s amazing)
4:39 I was like omg I love this song and then I was like wait why is meiko singing since when was this the most popular version lolol I’ve never seen her sing jt
I had no idea there was an GIGA-P eletric angel remix
9:14 lowkey I have never heard the Teto version until now, maybe I’m just more of a Touhou fan
I CLICKED WHEN I SAW ABNORMALITY DANCING GIRL IMAGINE BEING A DIEHARD GUCHIRY FAN AND NOT KNOWING THAT THE ORIGINAL WAS DONE BY IA (I don’t really think so but ok )
I SAW ADG IMMEDIATE VIEW
the og was actually done by IA, it's an album exclusive but i think there's a reprint on yt somewhere
both vers r by guchiry
unless that's not what u meant, then js ignore this comment in that case xd
"I don't really think so"
?
It was indeed originally sung by ia
My bad y’all. I didn’t see the ia version on guchiry’s channel. Oops
Isn't the most well known My R cover by rachie? It's always her cover I see being used in people's videos
Somehow, I haven't heard the Rin & Len cover of Electric Angel before, only the original?? I didn't even realize it wasn't as popular wth
7:18 BAO THE WHALE MENTIONED OMG
I found a hidden gem
0:55 THATS VOCALOID!?
Yes
*utaloid
but yee.
Yep!
How are people only finding about this now i thought everyone knew
@@JosuhI knew that since I was 9 or something
NO WAY Abnormality Dancin’ Girl was from IA??
Also Reol’s self cover of LUVORATORRRRRY! is more popular than her OG version with GUMI and Rin I think
Fukkireta too! the original I believe is by Kasane Teto, but the human cover by Lon (or Ron) got really popular as well
honeymoon un deux trois is one too! It has two covers on RUclips with more views than the original if i remember correctly
i would also add my crush was a monster boy!! the most popular version is fukase's cover
I thought your pfp was Kou but it’s Emu lol, I always seem to mix them up 😂
7:03 I listen to japanese cover always but before I liked the english version
The whole lore behind Kasane Territory JAJAJ
Ive never heard giga's version of electric angel until one or two months ago!! Didn't know it was more known than the original 😭
cillia trying not to make a cover that surpasses the original video by at least 200% (impossible challenge)
What do you mean Sumbakkokjil was a cover of a Korean vocaloid song this whole time? No way.
Vocaloid is literally life
what are you talking about close to you is originally by sans undertale. i have been LIED TO
You could include The Chattering Lack of Common Sense by Ghost, too. The new version has a few millions of views while the old one is... well, deleted. And I assume new Ghost fans don't even know about its existence
@@海苔-k3d Woah, I didn't even know about the original
actually there are two old versions of chattering! the one you're probably thinking of is unlisted on ghost's channel. the second one has different mixing and tuning.
@@entropyvitalizer That's what I'm talking about! :D
Ghost has been making music since early 2013 under other names, and deleted many old songs. Used to collect them when I was younger, but they seem to have a disliking to reuploads, so I don't know if it's fine to show briefly in the video
@@海苔-k3d Ohh, I understand. Maybe I should refrain from showing GHOST's old works. Although in my opinion there's nothing to be embarrassed about, but if the producer doesn't like them anymore, I gotta respect that
@@entropyvitalizerBoth of the older versions are under a different name too! The Chattering Of Teeth And Lack Of Common Sanity
1:26 DON'T TELL ME-
5:18 WOAH what beauty did I just witness, should I go listen to the whole thing?
Oh yes definitely, Entomologists is an amazing song
Yeah its a nice song, but the 2017 song is creepy 😭
@@entropyvitalizer it issss I just gave it a listen yesterday 😭😭🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Its a bop for me. Lol@@zariiswatching
@@CREATORSNIGHTMARE ayayayaay truee
BRO ABNORMALITY DANCING GIRL WAS SUNG BY AI? IM GLAD THEY CHANGED IT TO VFLOWER IT FITS HER SM AND I LOVE VFLOWERRRRR
Rachie's cover of Circles by KIRA is more popular than the original too, and for a good reason (without diminishing KIRA)
My Sister: I hate vocaloid!
Me: *forces her to listen original Nyan Cat*
My Sister: I hate most of the vocaloid!
Istg lily voice bank got to b one of the most gorgeous/elegant sounding voice
YESSS
6:47 BRO THE FIRST THREE SONGS WERE *THE* SONGS IN MY EDGY GACHA LIFE PHASE, I HAD NO IDEA THEY WERE VOCALOID SONGS 😭 😭 😭
5:48 bruh why is this kind of creepy
It's GHOST. lol, But you should listen to them. They make good songs.
9:30 that explains why that one touhou song sounds eeriely similar
Sumbakkokjil sounds so much scarier when it's sung by SeeU
for songs that are originally vocaloid, but have more popular human covers, i'd say the eve cover of 'therefore, you and me' originally by tadanaco ft miku & fuuki! found the eve cover in my childhood; didn't find out it was originally a vocaloid/utauloid song until like a year ago!
Biohazard was my first Kikyuune Aiko song, and I have always loved the original
IA hits every single time, she’s an icon a legend a queen
I’d say another example would be the fox’s wedding by masa and the remake, i was hoping to see it in this video but its okay!! This video was quite interesting ‼️
Ohh yes you're right, how could I forget about this one!!
Which version did I prefer ?
Ah, yes, the transitions
I didn't expect ghost's entomologist to be here.
Cirno! I love how Teto Territory is beloved tomboyish girl!!
Another coin for the "Even if you don't know touhou, you know touhou." jar
I had no idea about Suki Daisuki and I'm here since 2009 😭
Holy Hannah, Rugrats Theory is a song I didn’t think I’d ever see again-
I love the original electric angel so much, so much nostalgia... never knew there was a rin&len version & it's more known then original till now
I KNEW THE KASANE TETO SONG WAS A CIRNO REFERENCE BRO THEY SOUNDED SO SIMILAR (didnt know it was based on another version of a cirno song, i used to thought it was a “Cirno’s perfect math class” reference*
As a Project Mirai player, I only knew the original Miku and Rin cover of Electric Angel
7:57 bro i never knew this was vocaloid i thought for sure it was a creepypasta type song 😭
Tbf it was heavily popular in the creepypasta fandom around five years ago, might still be and it was probably popular before then too
Funnily enough, I was in the creepypasta fandom back then and that's how I found it. Only this year did I get into Vocaloid and find out Lizz wasn't the original singer of it
I was also in the creepypasta fandom at that time, lol. Im still in the fandom @@iamasmokedchicken
