I have a new bed set, isn't it amazing?!
This week, we're talking Vocaloids and cover with the work of REOL
Discovered by singing covers of Vocaloids songs in the beginning, what we called Utaite,
REOL is composed of 3 members:
REOL, the main singer who also writes the lyrics to the original songs
GIGA-P, who's more in charge of the sound and music, he's the composer and arrange all the tracks
but also sings with Reol
and finally Okiku, in charge of the visual so she's making the PV
The sound of REOL is more pop, electro, dance or even Eurobeat
The thing with Utaite is, like Daft Punk for example, they don't reveal their face but have an avatar
They started to publish their covers on the Japanese platform Nico Nico Douga before being cross posting on Youtube.
This week, le me introduce you to 5 songs by REOL, let's go!
Published in 2014, DPC is a collab between Reol and Giga-P
and it was released on NND in 2 versions
As mentioned, they initially started by using the software Vocaloids, which allows you to create songs and use voice samples
There are several Vocaloids that represent different voices, different tune, emotions
The most famous one being Hatsune Miku
So when collabing Reol and GigaP posted 2 versions of their songs:
one with the voices and visual of Vocaloids
and the other with their voices and their avatar
Remember they didn't show their faces
So in 2014, this song is released on both Reol and GigaP's channel in 2 version:
The Utaite one sang by the 2 of them and the Vocaloid one sang by Rin and Luka
DPC's melody is quite colorful with a medium beat, and a touch of autotune
the song is also punctutated by funny samples
The theme is about on-sided love
and to match the 2 audio versions, there are 2 PV:
The Vocaloid one focusing on Luka, this character with pink hair
and the Utaite version focuses on Reol's avatar with purple-blackish har
End of 2016 marks the release of REOL's first album called Sigma and also the first time they reveal their face
and Gimme a break stop now is the title song that will promote the album
and the MV is released on Youtube straight away
The melody is more electro pop with a Kpop-ish touch I wanna say
when it comes to the visual and to Reol's rap with a high-pitch almost twangy voice
Visually it's swagilicious, lots of accessories and costume changes
REOL even portrays her own bakcdancers, because why not?
See, you don't need a big budget to do something decent!
The song even reminds me sometimes of a Britney Spears' song: What don't you do something?
that got ripped off by Hyori Lee btw...
Then again I love Britney so..I'll buy it
The song is catchy and punchy, the lyrics are hilarious
Shes fed up of selca, of superficial people and syrupy declarations, and if you could all
go and fuck yourself...
That'd be great, thanks
The title means Resonnate and is published on Youtube in 2014
Just like DPC it's released in 2 versions: the"human" one
released on Reol's channel and the Vocaloid one on GigaP's
It was released on both NND and YT
This song is again quite pop electro with a touch of autotune
The theme and lyrics is all about love, desire, make your emotions resonnate
It could pretty much be a Vocaloid love declaration to her fanboy/fangirl
Or the other way around
The PV is monochrome in colour and revolve around Hatsune Miku, the infamous Vocaloid
and the voice used for the GigaP version
The song was so popular it got used an infinite amount of time by fans making AMV using the
Miku Miku Dance software, called MMD, that allows you to take a Vocaloid, make it dance on a song of your choice
and create your own PV by moving the camera around, adding effect, etc
MMD are very popular and it's thanks to one MMD of Hibikase that I actually discovered REOL's music
No but seriously...that's the song's title: No Title.
Released in 2014, this time the song just like the voice is very mellow and soft
The medium tempo is regular throughout the song and the chorus is sang with both GigaP and Okiku
No Title became quite popular because it was part of a Rythm game called Osu!
which is similar to Beatmania or even Pop'n Music
As usual, the PV was made by Okiku and this time it's more a background type of PV
it's quite light in the aerial side of things
as it is not only monochrome but also monoshot!
It's indeed making a focus on a cloudy blue sky.
As usual you have the lyrics and credits inserted in the PV
It's quite in line with what was done before, but the setting is more relax, softer and sweeter
Also released in 2014, the title means "Plus Boy"
It's the exact opposite of No Title, as the rhythm is very nervous, with a high BPM
with crazyass lyrics
The lyrics are written from a boy's POV and make a focus on Kagamine Ren
The most known male Vocaloid
See, Rin and Ren? Yeah, that's boy here
Well, okay but now you know
It's quite an Ero song and it talks about Ren having hishormones on fire
He's hitting puberty quite hard
So basically the theme is : Schoolboy's hormones and how to deal with it (or not)
As mentioned, the melody is more Eurobeat this time, very catchy, very lively
there are 2 version of it as well: one with Reol's voice and one with Ren's voice
and to reflect the conflict of emotions, the speech delivery is quite quick and speedy
and tells the story of this guy trying to focus on his study but ends up distracted by all the pretty girls around him
Because Yes! Puberty is all about boobs and miniskirts activating your blood circulation...down under!
Visually it looks more like an anime
Lots of colours and animation, it's starring other Vocaloid such as Miku or Luka who are in the same school
but it's also featuring some otaku-ish dance!
I love the choreo it looks like a lot of fun but man it must be so exhausting!
So you can't really see backdancers here but more silhouettes dancing, in the style of Just Dance
All this package, to me, makes + Danshi one unforgettable Reol's song
It might not be your favourite song but it's definitely one you'll enjoy
