Kaito Kaito ni shiteageru~


Lolz my Kaito Nendroid. Bought him few months ago from The Figuremall at the cost of RM138 if memory does not fail me. It was delivered by Mr Kevin of the mentioned site. Dear Kaito was collected one day after he arrived along with some T-Shirts from Neko Tales. One was an extremely adorable brown Domo-kun shirt and the other a black... "I love yaoi" in Japanese wording  ヤオイ! Unfortunately I can't camwhore the T-shirts T_T




Here's his box. Mind you that I'm one of the most unorganized people on Earth so well, strain your eyes!
I have no complains bout him except for his stand which I quite fail to make him use. Well, I prefer to put him the cup anyway. Makes him look cuter (to me)




































Kaito!



KAITO is a Vocaloid DTM (Desktop Music) software created by Crypton Future Media. He utilizes the older Vocaloid engine, the predecessor for Vocaloid2, and his voice is completely computer synthesized thus is less smooth sounding. The voice was supplied by Naoto Fuga. Although rougher sounding, Kaito and Meiko are able to incorporate much broader voice range than Miku and Rin/Len. He is fit to sing anything from hymns and children's songs to R & B and pop, though the style that he is best used for is singing pop ballads.
As a mascot character, being the younger sibling of Meiko, he is also the older brother figure for the entire Vocaloid group, frequently called "nii-san". KAITO is often the brunt of abuse from the 'family', often getting rolled over by the twins' road-roller (roda-rolla). He wears a white coat and a blue muffler. His character item is ice cream, which he is very fond of. In particular, he loves the Häagen Dazs brand. He's also noted to be in some songs and many fanon as Miku's lover.



Now, a Vocaloid is...



The Character Vocal Series is a computer music program that synthesizes singing in Japanese. Developed by Crypton Future Media, it utilizes Yamaha's Vocaloid2 technology with specially recorded vocals of voice actors. To create a song, the user must input the melody and lyrics. A piano roll type interface is used to input the melody and the lyrics can be entered on each note. The software can change the stress of the pronunciations, add effects such as vibrato, or change the dynamics and tone of the voice.
The series is intended for professional musicians as well as light computer music users. The programmed vocals are designed to sound like an idol singer from the future. According to Crypton, because professional singers refused to provide singing data, in fear that the software might create their singing voice's clones, Crypton changed their focus from imitating certain singers to creating characteristic vocals. This change of focus led to sampling vocals of voice actors.[8]
Each Japanese Vocaloid is given an anime-type character with specifications on age, height, weight, and musical forte (as in the type of music, range and tempo). The characters of the first two installments of the series are created by illustrator Kei.
Any rights or obligations arising from the vocals created by the software belong to the software user. Just like any music synthesizer, the software is treated as a musical instrument and the vocals as sound. Under the term of license, the Character Vocal Series software can be used to create vocals for commercial or non commercial use, as long as the vocals do not offend public policy. In other words, the user is bound under the term of license with Crypton not to synthesize derogatory or disturbing lyrics. On the other hand, copyrights to the mascot image and name belong to Crypton. Under the term of license, a user cannot commercially distribute a vocal as a song sung by the character, nor use the mascot image on commercial products, without Crypton's consent.
I hope you know that I ripped this from Vocaloid Wiki



And a Kaito song! (My personal favourite)
