Vocaloid
Vocaloid music is made with singing-synthesizer software, in which a producer types in melody and lyrics and a virtual singer performs them.
Yamaha released the Vocaloid software in 2004, and the scene took off in Japan after the 2007 voice bank Hatsune Miku, whose character became a virtual pop star. Producers, who often take names ending in '-P', post songs on video sites such as Niconico and YouTube. The songs can be in any style, from fast rock to electronic pop; the shared trait is the bright, slightly robotic synthetic voice.
Artists it is known for: Hatsune Miku, DECO*27, wowaka, ryo (supercell).
