Ask some white questions about animation ~

Second dimension refers to two-dimensional plane space, which is usually used to refer to a series of plane vision products such as animation, comics, CG and two-dimensional games. The so-called "dimension" in Japanese ACG works usually refers to the fantasy world and the collection of its various elements. For example, a rule and order is completely different from the reader's existing world, such as the world where magic or steel bullets exist, which is usually called "otherdimensional world" or simply "otherdimensional world". In addition, traditionally, virtual characters represented by print media, such as characters in cartoons or animations, are often called "two-dimensional characters" because of their two-dimensional nature to distinguish them from real (three-dimensional) characters. The characters made by three-dimensional computer images are called "2.5-dimensional characters" because they are in the virtual world and have three-dimensional concepts. Three-dimensional dolls and other things, from the initial definition, should be three-dimensional roles; But it is sometimes called "2.5-dimensional character" because it is usually a three-dimensional character based on two dimensions or emphasizes its virtuality. Based on the above etymology, those who are only interested in the virtual role of ACG and have no interest in the real opposite sex are dubbed as "people living in the second dimension", and in serious cases, they are dubbed as "the second dimension taboo syndrome".

Meng: In animation, it is generally only used for animation, comics, characters in games, plots and other elements. It is generally believed that the word "Meng" comes from "burning" and comes from Japanese input method. "Meng" originally means that readers have a boiling passion when they see the role of a beautiful girl. Hot-blooded works often use' burning' to describe this state. If you input it in Roman Pinyin, it is' mo e (もぇ)'. If you use Japanese input method, only' burning' and' Meng' will be displayed when you input Mo E. In order to distinguish the state of blood boiling because of beautiful girls from the traditional state of blood boiling, people use the homonym "Meng" to describe it, which has also become an online slang in the circle. In the current popular application, "Meng" is used to describe a "person" (a life with personality), to describe an immature and unexpressed inner beauty inadvertently exposed by a "person", to give people lovely and amazing enjoyment, and is often used for women (or asexual life with feminine temperament). The essence of Meng is an unrealistic delusion, that is, because perfection cannot be found in reality, it will be found in the second dimension. And' Meng' is just a manifestation of finding the perfect girl in my mind.

Because the meaning of' Meng' has not been defined, it has been misused. The most confusing thing is the difference between' cute' and' cute'. Cute' is a very traditional word with a fixed meaning, and I believe it doesn't need the author's explanation. It is a transitive adjective, which can be used to describe people, animals and even dead things. Children can be cute, kittens can be cute, a short and attractive ballpoint pen can be cute, and of course, an ACG character can also be cute. But' cute' and' cute' are different, and they are basically adjectives for' people'. Let's clarify here that the' person' mentioned here also includes any ACG or realistic drama role, whether it is fictional or not. Meng', like all adjectives that can only describe people (such as open-mindedness), can be used in' roles' in literary works. For example, we can all say that Ling Huchong is open-minded, but we can't say that a dog and a pen are open-minded. Similarly, we can say that woody cherry is cute, but we can't say that a kitten and a mouse are cute.

Whether a girl is a Lori or not, everyone has different definitions: some are divided by age (strict physical age), some by temperament (psychological age, appearance age), and more strictly, both criteria must be met. In the end, if you think it is, it will be regarded as yes. But generally speaking, the necessary characteristics are "immature" (or undeveloped) and budding. In Lolita's book, the definition of Lolita's age is 12- 13 years old, a girl who is growing and about to mature (not a child). At this point, the division is based on. Due to the British in the 1930s (1933- 1936? ) introduces a code that defines the age of a girl:

Under 8 years old: girls

8- 12 years old: girl

13- 18 year old girl

/kloc-over 0/8 years old: adult female

This division of anime loli is between mature and naive, which can better reflect loli's charm.

But this is all before, and now the definition is vague after evolution. Many people like younger types, that is, super young loli before the age of 8, and some people like it. They have entered puberty and are about to mature, that is, 14- 16 years old, that is, mature loli. Each has his own love and changes with love.

In terms of age, 12- 15 is the standard loli, 7- 12 is Alice loli, and below 7 is Gao loli. Those who are strict about age are also classified. The first category is lolikon, the second category is alikon, and the third category is haikon.

Lori's basic height is below 160, which is equivalent to the height of primary school students or junior high school students. There are generally two kinds, one is sweet love loli, and most of them are like this. The other is the elegant Gothic Lori (Goth).

However, whether they are young, mature or orthodox, LOLI is a symbol of youth and cuteness, a treasure given by heaven, an elf and an angel on earth ... but they are also the weakest and most vulnerable group, so we should love every Loli as much as our own eyes, and protect and care for them. Of course, in view of some strange legal reasons at present, the word young girl is sensitive, so some netizens summed up the following conclusions: if a little girl is pushed down, if she says "it hurts ~ ~", it is a young girl; If she says in horror, "What do you want? ? "That's a girl.

type

1. Little princess type: (You have seen too much and know too much, so I won't say much. ) born noble temperament, elegant manners, and smart, lively and lovely, always carefree. I especially like the story of the knight and the prince. I firmly believe that you are her knight and prince, and you will always protect her happiness ... for: fate/staying overnight.

4. Little sister type at home: always so gentle and considerate to the people around you, soft outside and rigid inside. I especially like doing housework. Representative: Cat Palace (のののとらそ! ), Ba Shen fried (witch is wild A's), Honda head (fruit basket) poor (sister princess) Snow White (sister princess) Ryuuguu Rena (cicada crying)

[13] Queen type (Note that a queen and a black belly are two different things! Although she is of noble birth and impeccable manners, you are always afraid of her (although she looks harmless and lovely). Her most common dress is to cover the lower part of her face with a small folding fan in one hand and a small whip hidden in the sleeve of the other hand. I often raise my head for no reason and make a queen-like laugh, which makes you tremble like a conditioned reflex. She is always self-centered; And ignore the feelings of people around you (except you, of course, she won't let you find out that she notices your feelings), always bossing people around (especially like to command you) and bossing everyone around (especially you). As long as you can't meet her requirements (you will never meet her requirements), you will be served with a whip, but you don't dare to resist at all (even if you resist, she will stifle your resistance in fantasy). She just wants to transform you into the perfect king or lover in her heart. Although she is always in a bad temper, you are the first man she cries, and you can always feel her heart.

Representative figures: Zhen Hong (Rose Girl), kagami Kuro (LOLI Age), Louise (Zero Magic) and Mashiro Rima (Guardian Sweetheart).

4. Little devil type: Although she is not fully developed, she is actually the representative of little devil. Full of weird and mischievous things, the object you like is you, and you can't treat her like a child at all. Because she knows everything that children shouldn't know, that's what makes you most depressed. She is just afraid of you and listens to you (just some words, of course). When others are wronged by her, you should thank her in turn. Only you can see through her little tricks. She often comes up with some special words at some critical moments to hit you, which makes you embarrassed and painful. At this time, you can see that her shadow has the wings and tail of a little devil. You are often torn apart by her, but there is nothing you can do about her. You love and hate her! ~ ~ ~ Representative figures: Matsuoka Miyuki (strawberry marshmallow), Kokonoerin (LOLI era) Kanon Sawatari Makoto.

5. Shy shy type: She looks like a white rabbit. Even if you look at her for a few seconds, she will blush, lower her head and rub her skirts with her hands. She is extremely sensitive to things around her. Although she doesn't talk very often, what she says is always crucial. She is afraid of lightning. Whenever there is a thunderstorm, she always shrinks in the corner of the bed and holds the pillow, shivering there, and then you will hold her in your arms and kiss her forehead. Tell her a story until the rain stops. When a friend who doesn't know you comes home, she will hide behind you and show a little head and look at the stranger timidly until you pull her out and introduce her to your friend. When she said hello to your friend, she blushed to her ears. After greeting, she will keep pulling your skirt. Representative figures: Usa Mimi (LOLI era), Sakuragi Matsuri (strawberry marshmallow), Ye Zifu Sha (Detective Group of Clamp College) and Kurō mu Dokuro (Tutor).

[6] Little confused type (also known as natural stay): She will always have a sleepy expression and a big hug bear in her hand. I can fall asleep anytime, anywhere, do things carelessly, be slow to respond, and often wear the wrong socks. I forgot to bring my books and homework in class and was scolded by the teacher. I slept on the stage and drooled! ~ ~ It's so sweet! ~ What attracts her most is the big pillow and the soft bed! ~ The favorite place to sleep is your arms. Your favorite pillow is your arm! ~ ~ ~ My favorite picture is late at night. Under the light of the stars and the curved moon, a road leads to your home, and crickets sound like lullabies. She is lying in your arms holding her lovely bear, sleeping sweetly and talking in her sleep; And you hold her gently, just like holding a treasure. Try to walk slowly so as not to wake her. Representative figures: Si Tong (lucky star), Shiori Sakura Orange (Alice in college), Okazaki Ushio (Crannard), Canary (Rose Girl), Flower Spike (Sister Princess) and Takara Miyuki (lucky star).

Class maturity (class maturity and three noes are two different things! ! ): Her expression has always been so quiet and calm, and there are few other expressions. Never say much, do things with a clear purpose, never do unnecessary things, and never dress up. Her personality is independent and stubborn. Young as she is, she has a thorough understanding of the dark side of people. The formation of her character is related to her life or environment. LOLI with this personality generally lacks maternal love or fatherly love, or suffers great pressure from childhood, or the family environment is cruel, which is caused by these reasons. She always keeps her own affairs in order and silently helps you do what you forgot to do. It seems that only she can live well, but as her only friend, you are silently worried about her: how much can her weak shoulders bear? ! ~ Representative figures: Fett (Magic Girl Naiye), Ania (Rebellious Lu), Lapislazuli Stern (Rose Girl Series) and Furude Rika (When the cicada is singing).

8. Growing up (this is special): Her personality is lively and cheerful, innocent and lovely, and she loves to help others. Although he is not young, his brain has not evolved at all. Children in high school love to walk in the shadow of the person they like, and even call them by their first names in their twenties. In their hearts, they always believe that the world is beautiful, and the people they love love themselves. They don't want to think much because they don't want to hate others. Because they will lose happiness, they don't want to grow up, because they believe that no one will love them when they grow up. Even if there is pain, they will endure it and smile in front of the people they love. They don't want their relatives to worry about them. What really deserves praise are their representatives with golden hearts: Kamio Misuzu, Moon Palace Ayu and Ibuki Fū ko.

Loriken-Lolita Complex (Wikipedia) (Lolita Complex, ロリコン, or Loriken) refers to a sexual orientation that men (now also refers to women) are more interested in underage girls than adult women, or refers to people with this sexual orientation. Although the original "Lolita Complex" is not in English, almost no one uses it except the Japanese.

The broad definition is that as long as you think that the object of love is a woman who is too young, or has a tendency in this respect (in this case, even if the object of love is a woman), even the young women you see will feel in love. In addition, due to the influence of otaku culture such as comics, cartoons and video games, some people think that lolicon is the only place that women much younger than themselves particularly like (even adults) or feel "cute".

The narrow definition is changed to refer to men who have sexual preference from childhood to around eighteen. In this case, the definition of pedophilia is repeated. But the main target is different from pedophiles who are interested in girls under the age of 13, but refers to the so-called spring girls' sexual preference for middle school students/high school students over this age.

Although the word itself has such a strong ambiguity, generally speaking, the last meaning "having a sexual preference for so-called spring girls" is used the most.

The word "lolicon" itself is not a simple abbreviation of Lolita complex, but refers to fans who are eager to pursue the role of girl in ACG (animation, comics, games) and so on. For overseas Japanese, the Chinese-speaking world uses "lolicon" based on this meaning.

In addition, as the antonym of lolicon, sexual orientation that is more "sexual interest" for underage boys than adult men is called "active control"

Lolicon is pure, which is the main feature that distinguishes them from pedophiles. Lolicon is very healthy. In essence, it is a kind of feeling that especially likes purity and innocence. Nowadays, in China, non-mainstream is rampant, and girls are generally precocious, which makes young boys very disappointed. We should pursue a pure and carefree emotional sustenance-yes, only Lori can fully express this feeling, and they touch the soft parts of people's hearts. We love life, and we love Lori. Lori is the most beautiful, pure and sunny.

Several types of lolicon

Ghost Animals: Simple metamorphosis and tyranny. This kind of person only pays attention to "H" and enjoys the pleasure of brutally ravaging the little girl. It is also a common strain to overthrow the magic man, which is more common in reality. The universal edition of Lori Sande: silent, soft and easy to push down; The counterattack of otaku version: charming body, thin waist, easy to push down.

Training Department: He is good at using auxiliary tools to destroy and transform the little girl mentally and physically. For such people, the process is the cause of pleasure, not "H".

"Curiosity": I have an abnormal addiction to blood and whining, and I am immersed in the pleasure of killing. Calm and cruel is the characteristic of this kind of person, extremely dangerous!

"Tentacle system": I like to transform my body through metal or genetic biochemistry, and produce a large number of long tentacles to caress my little girl and satisfy my abnormal desires. According to an informal survey, most of these people are formed by watching too many tentacle cartoons and H-games the day after tomorrow.

Naraku School: Naraku is Sanskrit, which means hell. The chaos in hell is like this type of person-the shape is unknown, and most of the known precedents appear in the form of multiple personalities. There are very few Lori hunters of this type, except for congenital variation, but it seems to be transformed from the day after tomorrow. For example, people with simple love often fall in love for special reasons (lovelorn? ) and become Naraku (abnormal personality? )

"Cross-dressing Department": It takes pleasure in appreciating Loli's various dresses (the waitress wears animal princess clothes, nurse clothes, etc. ).

Pure Love: Lori's smile is like a gift from an angel. In order to see this smile again, in order to realize everyone's happiness, they can generate endless energy. At the same time, it is also the strain of most mentally healthy Lori hunters. My favorite department.

Hatsune Miku

Hatsune Miku, a software poster, is a virtual female singer software developed and sold by CRYPTON FUTURE MEDIA based on Yamaha's VOCALOID 2 speech synthesis engine. Issued on August 3, 20071. Initially, it was only applicable to Microsoft Windows. On March 9, 2008, it was released together with CrossOver Mac 6. 1 and can be used for MAC OS X. ..

Main entry: VOCALOID

The software operation interface software uses Yamaha's VOCALOID 2 speech synthesis engine to record and synthesize human voices into real songs. You only need to input tones and lyrics to make sounds, and you can also adjust "emotional parameters" such as vibrato and sound speed. Up to 16 people can sing, and instant performance and reconnection are also supported. After the production is completed, it will be output in WAV format, but the software itself can only produce the singing part, and the accompaniment sound needs to be synthesized by other music software. Lyrics input can recognize hiragana, katakana and Roman characters, but can't recognize は and へ as auxiliary words, ぅ and ぃ as long sounds, which will be changed to わ, ぇ, ぉ and ぇ respectively, which can't correspond to pronunciation and Chinese characters, and need to be modified by themselves.

The software is not designed for beginners, and users who are new to electronic music production need some time to get used to it. Therefore, 2ch and other places have many teaching discussion strings for this kind of users. Osaka University of Electric Communication even held lectures for beginners on June 10, June 19, June 10 and 25, 2007.

Demand distribution

Microprocessor: Pentium 4 2 GHz/ Athlon XP 2000+ or above (Pentium 4 2.8 GHz/ Athlon 64 2800+ or above is recommended).

Operating system: Windows XP/Vista(Vista recommends single machine).

Ram: above RAM:5 12MB (above 1GB is recommended, and above 2GB is recommended when using real-time vocal ID 2vst instruments).

Others: 2GB hard disk capacity (the actual software capacity is about 809MB).

Production process and nomenclature

CRYPTON has three or four employees who are responsible for the planning of Hatsune Miku, while Sasaki and another part-time job are actually developing. Illustrator KEI designed animated characters and paintings. KEI was chosen because CRYPTON employee Sasaki liked his "very transparent style". He started designing in March and April, 2007, and finally published three illustrations. Originally, he planned to produce new illustrations every month, but the creative craze fell through. The original sound provided by seiyuu Fujita Saki was chosen because CRYPTON thought that Fujita Saki's voice was in line with the "idol of the future". At the beginning of the project, CRYPTON wanted a full-time singer to provide the voice. However, most of the singers who were asked refused because they were worried about the use of the copied voice and future copyright-related issues, and then contacted seiyuu instead. However, the initial progress was not smooth, and most seiyuu companies did not understand the purpose of the software. Later, ARTSVISION agreed to cooperate. After considering nearly 500 seiyuu sound samples (including animated dubbing and narration), we decided to use Fujita Saki. Fujita Saki's recording gives the impression that it is "clear and lovely". When recording, he will sing some katakana with no special meaning to match the music played at that time. This process is divided into two days, and it will take six hours to complete the recording before April 27, 2007. On June 25th, Hatsune Miku's sculpture was officially made public. At that time, only his name was "ミク", and his surname "Hatsune Hatsune" was published on July 12 of the same year. Hatsune Hatsune refers to the first sound, the starting point and the original sound ID2. The Chinese character "ミク" means "the possibility of future music symbolized by VOCALOID".

Hatsune Miku setting

Age: 16 years old

Height: 158cm

Weight: 42kg

Good at music: pop songs

Good rhythm: 70 ~ 150 BPM (originally set to 80 ~ 150). )

Good range: A3 ~ E5 (initially set to C3 ~ E4. The highest and lowest limits of actual software are G8 and C-2, respectively. When the pitch is higher or lower than a certain pitch, the output effect will become unsatisfactory, and even the sound will become smaller. )

Clothing and machinery are based on DX series published by Yamaha 1983. The initial setting of the left arm "0 1" was a two-dimensional code, and the original design of the clothes was a sailor suit, but CRYPTON felt that it was not good enough and changed it to the current clothes design.

Character design is better than MEIKO in 2004. It is meaningless for the creator to insist on "original setting" under the role design with only basic setting and "incomplete". Moreover, the connection between Hatsune Miku and the original sound Fujita Saki is not profound, and there are not too many constraints in creation. Therefore, it is easy for users to have feelings about "Hatsune Miku's own creation" and produce a large number of works.

The outbreak of the craze

Sales.

The booking volume of Hatsune Miku 1 1+0 on the cover of DTM Magazine exceeded the producer's expectation, which was the best result since CRYPTON was founded. On August 20, shortly after the release of the audition music, the booking volume began to rise rapidly, and a few days after the launch (September 5, 2007), the inventory was insufficient. On September 12, the number of sales and reservations was close to 3,000; About 10000 sets were sold on September 27th; 10 set sold on October 27th 10; On October 25th, 2008, about 30,000 sets were sold. On July 23rd, 2008, about 40,000 sets were sold. It once ranked first in Amazon's software sales list for three consecutive weeks, and in 2007, Amazon's computer software sales ranked eighth (from 1 to1in 2007). It is a rare figure for the average sales volume of 200 to 300 and 65,438+0,000 sets of music software sold a year, even in the comprehensive computer software, it is also a good result. Only three weeks after its release on September 23rd, it has reached 30.4% of the Japanese pop software market share, higher than the second place "Sound it! 5.0 for Windows "(Internet) is 4 times higher; June 2008: 5438+ 10, with an average of about 20%, second only to the first software in the same series, namely Silent Spirit and Link, but it is still the most popular VOCALOID product. CRYPTON's market share in Japanese pop software companies also rose rapidly from 6% to about 33.9% in less than a month. The booking volume of the issue of DTM Magazine 1 1+20071October 6th, which included the ten-day trial edition of Hatsune Miku, was nearly twice as much as usual, and it was sold out in three days, and some bookstores even sold out in a few hours. This is the first time that DTM magazine encountered this situation. Besides, because DTM magazine says it won't be printed, there is speculation. Later issues also featured the lead singer series, and on February 26th of 12, the special album "Voice ID CV 0 1 Hatsune Miku" was released.

The situation of big sales is mainly due to the continuous cycle of "buying, uploading songs to the network, and watching another group purchase", the promotion of video sharing websites such as YouTube and NICONICO animation, and clever role setting. One of the reasons is that Hatsune Miku's animation style, image and role combine the characteristics of otaku and attract people other than electronic music producers.

Creative aspects and reactions

When it was first released, many people used this software to "cover" songs and distribute them on NICONICO animation, which became a topic, especially one of them, Ievan Polkka, which resulted in "はちゅねミ" composed by the original song みク. ) "beyond. Later, this craze spread to 2ch and YouTube. Even the commercial music company ave newly covered its own songs "Sincerity" and "Snowflakes of Love". Later, many people from different industries shared their works in public, such as novelists Nosuke and Masahiko Woody, cartoonist Koge Donbo, Kenjiro Takeshita, IT reporter Huayou Okada and illustrator. Besides cover songs, there are many original songs and fan movies by Hatsune Miku. On September 28th, 2007, there were more than 2,000 films about Hatsune Miku in NICONICO animation. More than 65438+5000,1mid-October 165438+ about 7378,165438+1over 10,000 on October 24th, with an average of one day 100. From June 5438 to February 2007, there were more than 0/000 original songs/kloc. Among them, there are many works by anonymous netizens on the Internet. Some people compose music, arrange music and write lyrics, some people are responsible for painting and some people make movies. VOCALOID Mutual Association (ボカロロ) is one of the representative groups of this joint force. Some people also make software to help others create. A representative example is MikuMikuDance published on February 24th, 2008. On March 24th, 1 10000 people downloaded it. Others take turns singing with Hatsune Miku's works. Many people Cosplay Hatsune Miku and even upload videos of dancing and singing online, such as maxine, a ten-year-old American girl.

On June 5438+065438+1March 3, 2007, Hatsune Miku Hao Tong Community held a fan activity with the theme of "THE VOC@LOiD M@STER" in Hatsune Miku, and held the second time on June 5438+1October 65438+March 3, 2008 (usually only very popular. Hao Tong also held the same activity "Hatsune Hatsune" on March 6th, 2008.

Some people think that there is such a great creative craze because CRYPTON is open to Hatsune Miku's rights.
