Vocaloid is a singing voice synthesis software. The software is capable of pronouncing the English, Japanese, Spanish, Chinese, and Korean languages with the appropriate voice banks, and other languages in the process of being added. Despite early adoption being mostly on the English side of the fandom, western interest has flagged since, whereas popularity took off to stratospheric heights in Japan with the release of version 2 of the Vocaloid software and introduction of 'characters' for the voice banks, the first of which was 'android diva' Hatsune Miku.
Vocaloid Age Rating
Fandom
The Japanese Vocaloid fandom is very large and active, mostly on the social video-sharing platform Nico Nico Douga and on 2chan. The fandom dynamics are somewhat special since it is not based on a source text, and all media in it are by definition fan works. This creates a very fluid border between 'original', 'transformative', and 'derivative' works, with on one end of the spectrum original songs and PVs (Japanese fandom contains many professional songwriters) and on the other extreme covers produced by feeding saved configuration files to a different voice bank with no editing.
Common fandom activities are writing songs, performing songs, covering existing songs with Vocaloid, making videos for songs, drawing fanart, singing karaoke versions of Vocaloid songs, and playing existing songs on an instrument. Writing fanfiction is a less common fan activity in this fandom.
Related Fandoms
Vocaloid fandom is closely enmeshed with both the UTAU fandom and the Utattemita section of Nico Nico Douga. The Evilious Chronicles and Kagerou Project are two multimedia fandoms that grew out of Vocaloid song cycles.

The operability that evolved from the Universal Design viewpoint.
The design of software is essentially the design of the GUI. The VOCALOID screen uses a black color scheme so that prolonged use does not fatigue the user's eyes, and important information is expressed in lines and text that resemble light with a unified tonal scheme. There are many musical composition programs that provide a realistic GUI such as a piano or drums, but the VOCALOID is extremely simple. To enhance the musicality and individuality of the creator, we limited ourselves to the bare essentials, with neutral functional expressions only.
As one of the designers developing the VOCALOID, I was impressed with the speed with which user feedback was incorporated into the product. Developers immediately tested the suggestions of users sent in over the Web, via SNS and whatnot, and those that had merit were immediately implemented in the program. The designers then redesigned the interface when necessary. The speed of that development was refreshingly fast.
Responding to user feedback, we released the VOCALOID3 with better display colors and ease of operation. We reviewed the product from a Universal Design perspective and made it easier to look at and easier to use.
In the VOCALOID3, we color-coded the tracks to make all 16 of them immediately recognizable.
