#utauvision

My team’s entry for round 1 of the UTAUvision contest! I did the UST/tuning and the video. 

Coming up in third place, it was a tough battle between China and Chile but the latter emerged victorious with their cover of Independencia Cultural (Cultural Independence) by the Chilean rock band ‘Los Prisioneros’ which reflects their personal experiences with UTAU in their country. While the judges’ scores mark their entry to be average in terms of tuning and mixing, it appears this was favored more by the audience.

Moving on, we have Indonesia placing in second with their cute and uplifting cover of「めいあいへるぷゆー? 」(May I Help You?) originally sung by Kayano Ai, Nakahara Mai, and Toyosaki Aki. The team chose this song since they wanted to show that with UTAU as idols, we would want to support them as they continue to not only entertain everyone but also help spread positive vibes.

Finally, the champion of UTAUvision 2017 is the Philippines!! with, dare I say, quite an exceptional entry and very fitting to end the first UTAU international song festival with their take on ONOKEN’s ‘Fragment‘. Team Adobo really went out and beyond with this by capturing what the overseas UTAU community has become.
