Sweet Sweet Cendrillon Drug - cover by Gahata Meiji

“Sweet Sweet Cendrilion Drug” was originally released a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away in 2009 by uz-P. Those days Miku was singing it, and that’s not surprising: back then ‘Vocaloid’ in most cases meant directly Miku. Miku was only V2, no appends existed, and let’s be honest uz hadn’t used top-notch studio equipment, so you can guess the quality wasn’t the seventh heaven. Yet, even given all of this, the song was rather impressive, and got pretty healthy number of views for the genre.

Fast forward to 2012 when Muryoku-P decided to enhance the uz’s piece. The remix, besides the improved sound, featured Megurine Luka as a singer. As for me, the progress in vocals was evident too. Now, almost five years after the original release, we have the chance to compare Miku and Luka with their UTAU colleague. Gahata Meiji isn’t a very popular voicebank. And that’s a pity, because, at least in Tetsuwo-shi hands, she sounds awesome! Her variant is much more powerful and energetic than previous Vocaloid releases, which I think fits well to the nature of the song. And a little detail: Meiji’s canon states she is a witch. So a special kudos from VMW! ;)
