Edit! I’m at fault for not listening to warnings and judging something without fully listening to it. SEKIHAN~~ The cute little maid in this video. Watch about until 1:30, cause that’s where things get scary. XD
And I thought men who were extremely cute and singing like girls were scary. D:

TRAAAAPS.
They’re usually bad, y’know like falling for some prank ployed by prick you know. Other times, traps are kinda good? I actually can’t even think of a time when one is good, (if you’re the one falling for it) so yeah.
But hey, some people like traps. For instance, fangirls.
When you urban dictionary ‘trap’ you either get 1) an area where drugs are dealt, or the definition I’m going for, one scary as hell man who passes off as a woman.
Trap of the day/week/month for me? Freakin’ tie between Piko and Sekihan. AHHH MAH GAWD.
(Last time it was Valshe, then Amu
)
Btw, for those of you who don’t know, I started getting into listening Vocaloid songs. I’d love to explain it, but in another post I suppose. (We’re talking about traps >;O) Nico Nico Douga is pretty much an asian Youtube, and they have lots and lots of popular, but amateur singers there. I’d feel horrible to refer to them as just ‘amateurs’, but they aren’t pro or like crazy crazy famous. o.o Heck, I barely know what some of them look like!
Anyways, amongst the Nico Nico Douga family, there are a bunch of singers who sing Vocaloid songs (Oh, so awesome) and one of the more prominent ones are either: Multi-talented gorgeous ones like Choucho, have sexy voices like Clear and Dasoku, or are freakin’ traps like Piko and Amu.
These traps, although we’re not looking at them when they sing, have some of the scariest voice ranges known. D:
Kay, I thought Amu and Valshe we’re pretty interesting, cause Amu is a boy who sings high like a girl, and Valshe can do the opposite . o.o”
But after coming across my first Magnet song, (Hitori and che:Sakurai version, the very best cover) I was like, SHT MAN SHT. Don’t lie to me and say that all four singers are sung by two girls?! Scary, scary, super awesome. O____O”
After that, I think I came across a song by Piko, it was a screamo-type song, unfortunately I didn’t download it (10 minutes long, oh shiet)
I got a little more interested in him, so I listened to his version of Magnet with Sekihan, and that’s where I got REALLY uncomfortable. Those two can make any girl feel insecure. ;___;”
Well, Piko does sound pretty androgynous all the time anyways, but SEKIHAN. SEKIHAAAAAAAAAAAAN. He is byfar, the scariest person I’ve ever heard speak!
At the beginning, he sounds like a deep voiced PEDOOOOO. Like, ‘I’m gonna eat you alive >;D’ kind of voice. Then, in the second verse, he goes to play Miku’s role, and he seriously sounds like a 10 year old girl. I want to know how a grown ass man sounds like a deep voiced pedo one minute, and a little girl the next?! It’s freakin’ mind boggling! In some of his other videos, (where we actually see him singing live, he looks like a girl D: ) like Mrs. Pumpkin, he goes, ‘Are you ready booooys and giiiirls?’ LIKE A REAL PEDO. IT’S SO FUNNY. In another video, he cosplays as a cute maid, and is singing like ‘Ready? Set? Goooo! Kii pii pii pii pii de rooo!’ all cutesy, and it’s like, sht, he looks and sounds like a cute girl. Many boys must be disappointed deep down.
Looking at Piko IRL isn’t so bad, I mean I imagined he’d be short and kinda girly, but he isn’t so much compared to others. He’s like, tall and kinda lanky looking. Serious emo cut going on too. But that’s okay, he sounds wonderful all the same. Freakin’ trap, he’s lucky to have a ‘normal’ voice too. Not too deep, not high, he actually sounds like a guy D:[A very good looking one (; ]
Can you imagine having a voice like Sekihan? It must be so fun! I mean, he could play pranks on the cops all day.
Girl Voice: ‘Aaaah! Help, 911 there’s a pervert in my house ;____;\\ ‘
Pedo Voice: ‘Oh ho ho ho, don’t try to run little girl, I’m gonna get youuuuuuuuu… >;D ‘
GV: ‘Kyaaa! Please help me!’
PV: ‘Mwhahaha!’
I know I’d be doing that if I could alter my voice so much. D: It’d making calling people fun again! Kids nowadays all text message and IM eachother, it’s kinda lame XD. I mean, you could pretend to be someone so easily by copying their writing style. :/ A little bit of good improv, maybe even some studying, there ya go, the name’s Brad Pitt or something.
Ahhh, traaaps, they’re very amusing for me. I like Vocaloid songs in general :], cause they got a wee bit more depth, (And stories!) than most songs anyways. No, I don’t mean to say that western songs are shallow and dry, they’re not! If it makes anyone happy, quite a few asian songs are just as shallow and dry. One just needs to look beyond the set standards of music, and find some interesting ones that reach to you you, not the ‘I’ma follow whatever else people listen to’ I just so happen to like ones sung by robots. And their human cover counterparts. ;D
OH, but I must mention this now.
It’s nice that one doesn’t listen to mainstream, but what I hate equally as much as that, are people who are all, how do I say this…, pricks? Like, they have their lines all set up,
‘I’m listening to this unknown european band that no one has ever heard of, and I’m so cool that I listen to something other than mainstream.’
You know what? Go fuck yourself. People like that are so freakin’ annoying. It’s like, they search far and wide for (usually) shitty ass bands no one knows, and promotes them like their gods. For me, I don’t care if it’s mainstream or totally random, if it sounds good, it’s good for me. I’ll grow tired sure, but I don’t usually get tired for a long time (considering that I replay the song over and over on a short playlist
) means that I choose songs I enjoy and like, have some sort of depth and interest to me. Like Just Be Friends, originally sung by Megurine Luka. At first, it has a catchy beat, kinda on the techno side, which I’m not usually on, but it caught me anyways. And the lyrics? We’re not talking about some random singer/band singing about something really weird, like ‘yellow rivers or some stupid shit’ but it’s a break up song. FROM THE GUYS POV, yeeeah! No, it’s not all whiny like, ‘Why’d you leave meeeee, cry cry’ or ‘I’m so much better off without you, pfft’ but rather, realization about self and your relationship. And the whole techno beat makes it interesting. Break up songs tend to be slow, heartfelt ballads, which are nice, but kinda overused. But hey, if you do a good job, no one should complain right? At least I won’t, there’s always those stupid pricks surfing around, thinking their the shit. Again, go fuck yourself.
Now, I can’t be the one who’s always pointing fingers and looking down on others, I admit to tending to be like some of the people mentioned above. Well, maybe not the prick one, but definitely the one who just downloaded anything that sounded ‘good’. Course, my judgement and attention span was a lot lower back then, but I made a couple of good choices! This isn’t a warning for younger readers to be all, ‘okay, I’ll grow up like Lisa and not be prejudiced about things like this,’ no you’ve got to experience this. It’s all in growing up! Live and learn these things, and admit to your humility when it is right. I’m just writing this so that you know for sure, one day, you’ll look back and laugh, rather than be ignorant and continue on the prick/sheep path you’ll be on. It may not be music, but something similiar. Clothing? Books? TV? Iono, go look around.
It’s unfortunate, I know quite a few people who are like this. Some who are shallow and go for any song they know/hear, or ones who act all high and mighty and listen to some really lame ass songs. It’s depressing yeah, but what can you do? Me, as long as you don’t ramble about it, or have me listen to that bull sht, we’re okay.
I love how my posts go from something happy sounding, like ‘CUTE CUTE BUT SCARY TRAPS!’ to some sort of life lesson thing. Mostly, I write this on a whim, I don’t really have anything planned out or anything. So it often is disorganized, and I mix different topics together. But I like my writing style; I can build a bridge between topics, and I think that’s a great skill to have.
I should get to bed, I’ve got two tests to write tomorrow, one for freakin’ religion. Why oh why can’t we have it open book anymore? T___T”
=Boosting my own confidence level, that’s so lame. LOL
I love Sekihan <3 That's nice that you're getting into Vocaloid. A lot of people on NND are super-talented. Some, like Kanipan or Nagi, are famous
clewota duets are lovely too
Sekihan is really amazing though. I thought Piko was pretty cool, but Sekihan is ABSD;BASBJvVALE! He can change his voice so much and still have amazing control! I wish he sang more! The latest cover by him is so forces ;___;
