I’m going to start calling him Hiroto Saitoh of many colors. Yes, that’s a Lord of the Rings reference for the two of you out there who know what I’m talking about. We’ve had the pleasure of checking out a lot of Saitoh’s releases from his record label, LILT Records. He’s done RPG-themed stuff with Cross Hermit, bossa nova with Dia Novo and Melodia, and the synthesizer-based Retrospective Blue.
Not one to miss Comiket, Saitoh released two albums at Comiket 77 last month: his Japanese-flavored soundtrack for Usotsuki to Inugamitsuki and this original album, Vocalize. From the time, you can probably gather what it’s all about: vocaloid. It’s appropriately cheery and cute, but also spans a number of musical styles. I realize vocaloid isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but if that’s you, perhaps you should consider giving Vocalize anyway.
