GACKPOID article translation~

[gekka_no_neko]

This is old news, nothing new, sorry! XD  I just didn't get around to posting it here till now (it's been up at EnY, and there will be more articles about GACKPOID put up very soon.)  This article was translated by Sweiled and I together, and we did quite a bit of work together on the other GACKPOID ones as well, because of all the complicated

That's what I thought when I first heard the sample: OH NO! Gackt was eaten by a robot!! XD;;

I just kind of wonder where the heck he got "Gacktpoid" from? O_o;;;

Thanks for the translation! I was going to try it but I put it off and ended up forgeting =B

[gekka_no_neko]

Hahaha, exactly! XD XD

Ooh, Sweiled had a note to explain the name in the Barks translation: http://eiennoyume.com/pages/translations_pages/internet/gackpoid_barks_5-7-2008.htm It's funny, and not surprising Gackt came up with it. XD

You're welcome~ :D

Very, very interesting. It's all super confusing to me, but I'm excited for it to be released and to see what exactly happens with it.

All I know is, it's fun to tell my friends that I'm getting a thing that'll make me sound like Gackt, and then lip-sync to some Gackt songs to show them what it'll be like when the GACKPOID is released. XD

[gekka_no_neko]

Yeah it's really interesting! Oh which part is confusing to you? I know what it's gonna do, but I wonder what the software interface is like~

Hahaha, so you're gonna get it? XD It'd be fun to play with it though wouldn't it~~ Fun to make him sing stuff you wouldn't expect from him. ^^

[crescent_yume]

Lol, just the whole idea confuses me! And it still blows my mind how the technology and stuff behind it works. I mean, I get it, but... O_o Haha, it's just a little over my head~~

I definitely want it. X3 It should be a lot of fun. :D :D

[gekka_no_neko]

XD XD Yeah, I know what you mean~ the tech stuff is way over my head too, definitely!

Cool~ I hope you post up your creations so we can hear what you come up with! ^^ :D

I don't know why, but the thing that makes me happy about this is imagining Gackt being all excited about hearing his voice sound like a robot and having iPods and such sing to him in his voice. I was saying the other day to my housemate that I really wished I could have L's voice tell me when I had mail and message's because it's a cool voice, but now maybe I can eventually have Gackt's voice to do it and that's better. ^__^

And this is funny to me because my housemate and I have an obsession with using MicrosoftSam to talk to each other, so I have to imagine Gackt's voice with MicrosoftSam inflections. AHHH! XD;

[gekka_no_neko]

XD! I can just imagine him listening to his own Gackpoid creation. XD XD And yeah, it'd be very cool to have Gackt's voice saying "You've got mail!" XD

Ooh what is MicrosoftSam? Sounds like something I should look into though!!

[niatinari]

MicrosoftSam is a text to speech program on most Windows machines. Mac's, if I remember correctly, have their own version, and on my friend's Mac back in the day, you could make it sing... in a very robotic sort of way. We used to have her computer read her IM messages when they came in for a laugh.

Thanks for sharing this gekka-chan and Sweiled~ ^^

I still feel weirded out by the sample they posted. It sounds really weird ^^; haha. Like you said.. "it will never be him!" XDDDDDD

If I ever got my hands on Gackpoid, I'd make him try to sing in different languages XD Starting with Chinese. But if the price range is anywhere near Hatsune Miku (In fact it might cost more? D:) I know I won't be getting it ^^;

[gekka_no_neko]

You're welcome! :D

It's like being him without really being HIM! ^^ Creepy~~ XD

Oh that's a good idea! I wonder how that would sound? But yeah, I probably won't be getting it either. ^^;
