The Vocaloid Family Tree
Information & Definitions
Well, this is all one big author's note here. To start my tale of epic epicness, I need to first lay down some terms, info, and anything else to make sure you can take in everything I give to you in the full intensity it was implied. This is not only info that will help you understand the story, but it's info that will help you in the real world when you meet other otakus :)
And that was a great segue into the first definition!
Otaku - is a Japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly anime, manga, or video games.
Vocaloid - Vocaloid is a singing synthesis software created by Yamaha. Standing for "Vocal Android" it is a computer program which you can use various singing voices to create songs. Usually there is a specific anime character assosiated with a certain voice style made by said software.
UTAUloid (or Utau) - UTAU is a free japanese synthysizer that you can use by simply typing in the sound of a voice and playing it back and it'll sing songs for you. UTAU is the free version of vocaloid. UTAUloid is the name of a certain character used to represent a voicebank, so there are most likely HUNDREDS and maybe even THOUSANDS of UTAUloids.
Yaoi - Boy on boy anime/manga.
Seme/Uke - Mostly used in yaoi situations, but can be applied to everyday relationships. In yaoi, the uke is the receptive partner in anal sex (that is seriously what wikipedia says) and the seme is the powerful one who gives it. In everyday relationships, you would classify the seme as the one in charge and the uke as the under dog.
