There are Japanese Vocaloid producers who are pushing the boundaries of pop music in a way that wouldn&amp;#x27;t be possible with a real singer. I&amp;#x27;ve never come across anything like this music in the West. Definitely an acquired taste.&lt;p&gt;My Vocaloid song recommendation: Ungray Days by the producer Tsumiki. Tsumiki creates a sharp, aggressive sound that is disagreeable at first but really addictive. &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=UvF3Mwj5d4E&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=UvF3Mwj5d4E&lt;/a&gt;</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>IAmGraydon</author><text>I&amp;#x27;m sorry, but come on. Being a musician myself, I always try to keep an open mind and fully realize that not all music is supposed to give you the warm and fuzzies, but IMO nothing about that is interesting. It sounds like mathcore on fast forward with a chipmunk incomprehensibly chattering over it. No interesting harmonic structure, no interesting instrumentation or arrangement, rhythms straight stolen from other genres.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m being genuine when I say I&amp;#x27;m interested to hear what about this moves you. I almost always get it even if I don&amp;#x27;t like it. This...I don&amp;#x27;t get it.</text></comment>

Being the father of a 12 year girl who is obsessed with imaginary Japanese Vocaloid artists, I&amp;#x27;m totally over the sound of it, although I agree the histrionics produced by these things can be fairly amazing to hear from time to time.&lt;p&gt;What I did find more interesting was the AI &amp;quot;sung&amp;quot; version of Joelene that was doing the rounds a few days ago, based on the voice of Holly Herndon:&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;  https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;youtu.be&amp;#x2F;kPAEMUzDxuo
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
Interested to see where that goes, although I&amp;#x27;ve got to admit, I&amp;#x27;m a purist, and any type of digital vocalist is going to make me go &amp;quot;meh&amp;quot; sooner or later when compared to even a half decent human singer.</text></comment>
