Do you know "vocaloid"? You may have heard some songs which its vocal is not a human voice. Vocaloid is a word which is made mixing "vocal" and "andloid". As you already guess, it is a singer robot.
Today, there are various types of vocaloids in the world. The first vocaloid is named Miku Hatsune, with cute voice and green hair. "She" is created by Crypton Future Media Inc., as the same as the other vocaloids. Their voices are basically from human voice, and through processing them till it sounds like robots the characters can get their voice. They are hit products of the Inc. I suppose, and a lot of people get those vocaloids.
I don't have any of them and don't know how to do it, but the appeal point of them is that customer can write a song for their vocaloid to see how they sing, like a producer of vocaloids. They are called "xxP" which means the "name" plus "Producer". There are many Ps as you will search song of vocaloid easily in Youtube.
For example, I translated one Japanese song to English, Nakimushi Pippo, in this blog. Watch carefully its name...lyrics and music must be from Sasakure P(producer!), and vocal is Miku Hatsune. This is one of the original songs from Sasakure P, not a pro-musician I suppose.
In this way, everyone can be a producer and enjoy to create to show their songs on website or another place. Easy process, this is why people love to be a producer.
Concerning with their songs, they sometimes too direct or selfish words in it; however, there are much more wonderful songs produced by amatour people. They doesn't come through media, so it is easy to be pulled in as I sometimes listen to these musics when I want to feel one's feeling strongly to act.
Vocaloid never sing in a crazy pitch except producer programmed to do so, so they sing in clear and beautiful tone. They can go beyond technical problem of human without phrasing. Vocaloid increased the range which is asked for songs.
I don't require all the people to love vocaloid, but I hope many people meet the musics of vocaloids and be interested in those musics.
