You can definitely tell it’s almost Spring, at least where I’m from. The weather has been much warmer than normal for this time of year. But other than that, there’s some good news!

The Sakura Miku Nendoroid orders from 6 months ago have finally shipped out just a few days ago. While you’re waiting for your orders to arrive, you can watch Mikatan from Good Smile Company unbox one of these beautiful figures. The album Re:Dial by kz(livetune) is also set to ship out on the first day of Spring.

Lastly, the producer Ika (composer of the popular song Miku Miku Ni Shite Ageru) has released a new song just for the occasion titled “Cherry Blossom Banquet”, directed and animated by MasatakaP. Below is the video from Ika’s official channel. Subscribe if you enjoy his work!

Previously featured producers: 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5

The Vocaloid community is full of all kinds of artistic talent, as demonstrated by the countless number of music writers, composers and illustrators. But then we have the group of producers who take on the task of combining all of these works, and bringing them to life in a way that’s hard to visualize with a song and illustration alone. These people are the animation producers, and they have what is arguably the hardest task when it comes to content creation in the community.

This Producer of the Week article will focus on BrotherP and his creations. While there are other high profile animation producers like Director Wakamura that excel at the creation of eye popping visuals, BrotherP has an equally impressive talent for creating immersive and emotionally touching stories with his animations.

Earlier yesterday, the countdown timer on JimmyThumbP/OneRoom’s website had completed for all timezones, revealing what was suspected from the beginning: An all new album titled “Reboot”, featuring the song Reboot that was released to nicovideo on December 13th, 2012. Featuring Miku, Luka, and even OneRoom himself, while using animation quality far above most other videos, the PV took nicovideo and the Vocaloid community by emotional storm.

The website has a link to preorder the album on Amazon, but it does not yet offer much info on the contents of the CD itself. Expect the information to be updated over time. The album is set to be released on May 15th. Enjoy the PV and the rest of the article in the full story. Lastly, Happy Valentine’s Day! (more…)
