WasteOfLife 600 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 It's not every day you get to hear one of Japan's biggest names in pop music perform with a vocaloid (voice synthesizer). And Hatsune Miku is one of Japan's most famous vocaloids, having opened for Lady Gaga and performed on David Letterman. For Namie Amuro's new album "_genic," the two JPop divas join up for "Be Who I Want 2 B," which has immediately become a favorite of many early listeners. The song features a bouncy, minimalistic production and extremely catchy chorus. Take a listen below and purchase "_genic" out this week! And pray for dat live duet! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFvn_nIpQWA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Eight 6,542 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Hatsune Miku's vocals got grating on this version. I prefer Sophie's original version From 1:32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 One of the worst songs on an album full of duds. I had a hard time telling who was the human and who was the computer program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amberiel 27 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I love it tbh. The art for it is cute, the beat is nice. I was neither here nor there for the other songs of the album except for a couple but I like this song a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenElizabeth 1,470 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 One of the worst songs on an album full of duds. I had a hard time telling who was the human and who was the computer program. The song is a future classic in the making...That being said, I agree that Namie's voice was so distorted on the song that she and the vocaloid were sounding very similar...

Hyun. 4,120 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 It's actually one of my fave tracks on the album, it's different, and weird, but I love it tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeYaWithYou 4,415 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 This is the actual version that will be on the album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandilinn 7,814 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 This is the actual version that will be on the album? Yes. It's not great, but it grows on you after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WasteOfLife 600 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 It's actually one of my fave tracks on the album, it's different, and weird, but I love it tbh. I feel the same way. It's becoming my favorite on the album (even more than Golden Touch which is SO good). It's just so fun and happy and catchy and unfff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeYaWithYou 4,415 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Yes. It's not great, but it grows on you after a while. Ugh Namie has been losing my I terest so much lately, and this new album isn't helping. Her last two studio albums haven't been good, neither is this one. At least Ballada had a good tracklist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinjiki 1,999 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 LOL I wonder what/who the fuck the voice was suppose to be when I was listening to the album... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuu-sus 847 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 the lyrics are cute but the vocolaid voice is so flat and grating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenElizabeth 1,470 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Nobody is putting that on a cover album. Off course, nobody can even come close to the perfection that Amuro and the vocaloid made here... I discovered that the song was produced by the same guy who produced "Bitch, I'm Madonna" by...some artist whose name I keep forgetting...if only she said it in the title of her song or something....

avanpiper 217 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I actually dig this. It sounds out of the world compared to the rest of the album. Refreshing after a slew of Top40 EDMs. I don't even listen to Miku but this kind of collaboration is welcomed. Good experimentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
