Gackpoid is finally upon us!!

Hey all!

FINALLY some Gackt news.

Gackpoid is officially ready to be officially released with an offical price. (Officially).

The release date is set for the end of July with a retail price of ¥18,900 (about $176.00 U.S.)

This is the box design.

It is an anime styled god of music. A larger image of the face on the design looks very much, Gackt-ish. (Perhaps a play on the fact that Camui (Kamui) means ’hunt for the power of god’ or ’weilds the power of god’ in Japanese.)

I’m going to talk to the publisher and see if this will be playable on U.S., Canada and English computers. if it is, I’ll be getting it and will give you a review. Feel free to give me your reviews if you get it as well.

Also, if you have the chance...............

SEE KUNG FU PANDA!!

It was SUCH a good movie ^_^ I went with my brother's fiancee. We laughed, we cried, we left craving Miso soup.

Kung Fu Panda and Forbidden Kingdom. Highly recommended!!

Gackpoid postponed

the anticipated release of Gackpoid, the program where Gackt's voice will sing your compositions, has been temporarily postponed.

Set to be released mid-this month (June, 2008), we now have to wait till the middle of this month for new information on a new release date, and hopefully a suggested retail price.

Early word about the project is that it was temporarily postponed for changes, but all signs point to the project still being a-go.

Gackpoid Information

A little more information on Gackpoid.

It will come with a rolled up keyboard you can attach to your computer (I'm not sure if it will be by USB port, or if you'd have to unplug your keyboard and plug it in where they keyboard should be.)

You use that to make your music, edit the sound, hold the key for as long as you want the note to be held, so on...

Then you will be able to save it in .wav format, and edit it later into an MP3 with an editing program. (I use the free program Audacity to change my .wavs into MP3's.)

You have the option of Hiragana lyrics, Katakana, or Romaji (roman) lettering like we use in English (abc).

This will be compatible with windows Vista and XP.

It status is still listed as "Release in mid-June / Price undetermined"
So there is no set date or price as of yet. But it will be released sometime next month.

Gackt's Vocaloid confirmed

The new Gackt Vocaloid program is going to be titled "Gackpoid"

There are sound files of the new product for download, but they are in .wax form (An audio extention like .wav .mp3 .wma) however, for some reason I am unable to get my media player to accept .wax extensions.

The New Project is set for a Mid June release - price is still undetermined, but expect it to be at least $100+ U.S.

It will be Windows Vista and XP Compatible.

If I can get the .wax format to eventually work, I'll let you know what the sound sample is all about.

Until then... Can't wait for June. ^_^
