Channel Caststation, Luka's Eyes, And Inconsiderate Fans 

And they dont talk abput him drawing bocchi the rock nsfw.. (not advocating for him to get hate, but if they were to hate on him, why choose an eye color? This seems more like a problem)

artist: accidentally makes an inconsistency with the original media which is already inconsistent twitter: {inhales}

Honestly, the amount of english speakers I've seen on twitter blaming western fans for this is insane, especially considering the letter channel put out was in japanese, which a VAST amount of people outside of japan can't even read

The only person being harrased by western pjs fans is Deco*27, which sucks but he doesn't care and made sad girl sex because of it. Note how he is promoting it more than his new album. It's all a big way of saying, yeah I'm going to contiune what I'm doing and even include it in the title this time. Japanese fans can be awful though, a big example of this is siinamota (rip). He was mocked for making vent songs and people only realised what they were doing when he passed. Throughtout his entire time producing, he was called edgy for showing his emotions.

all that over an eye colour 😨😨😨

oh my gosh, this is really scary that channel had to issue a literal apology for luka's "incorrect" eye colour

4:35 this happens with Gakupo too, sometimes his eyes are blue, sometimes purple and even orange/red😭😭 vocaloids aren't that consistent and i like that, anyone can just draw them however they like the most !!

I completely agree with your opinion especially since Miku and Luka did have multiple designs where they didn't have the exact same as their box art and the people hopping on the hate train are acting very immaturely and toxic

I’ve been a vocaloid fan for around 8-ish years, and I have NEVER seen so much dictatorship on vocaloid. Ever since Project Sekai released (not saying Project Sekai is bad! I play it and it has introduced me to so so many good songs) it feels like people are taking “canon” to the extreme. All of the Vocaloids/UTAUs/etc have canon stuff about them but they can be played around with! Vocaloid is a media with no boundaries. Go crazy!* * the only thing is if someone makes sexual content with a character with a child voice actor. ew.

If I was in that situation, I would have drawn Luka as a goddes, having hundreds of thousands of eyes on her face and around her, all of them having all the colors that are known to man......................................but not having an INCH cyan there.

Sometimes JP fans are super annoying, this cool mmd creator (i forgot their name) remakes mvs from project sekai but they use ripped models, stages etc straight from the game so legit every JP fan was harassing them to stop and quit being a project sekai fan

Getting hate on someone just for discoloring an eyeball? (Which isn't even a big discoloration anyway as they dropped the color for her a while ago) Honestly, why are people so dumb these days! ARTISTIC EXPRESSION EXISTS, PEOPLE! LEARN IT. LEARN IT.

i was on twitter but i had NO IDEA of any of this happening... poor channel i feel so bad😭

This world really does have an empathy problem, I agree. I wanted to use the internet and my special interests to make myself feel better. But nooooo fans have to be entitled and self-righteous for the littlest inconsistencies in a piece of fanart…

I can’t believe some people still tried to blame this on “Westerners” literally proving they can’t read Japanese lmfaoo

some ppl take things TOO seriously and it creates problems for everyone ;w;

All this over a eye color is crazy 😭😭😭

Dude I’ve been thinking Luka has pink eyes for way too long long 💀 (I have a vocaloid shirt and her eyes are pink)

crazy how they harassed channelcast for something so small + that isnt even a mistake since I think we can all think about a vocaloid with an outfit that doesnt have their original eye/hair colour in less than 1 second 💀💀🙏 if you really cant, sakura miku. winter miku. senbonzakura miku. miku miku beam miku, both on the mv and live version.

If he quit NSfw art cuz of westeners you'd think he'd include it in his letter or straight up make it in English? Clearly it's due to japanese fans that's why it's in Japanese no????

Also SLIGHLTY OFF TOPIC? ppl should focus on the fact he lewds bochi characters and bluearchive characters(ocs in thoze media are CANONICALLY MINORS!) Not Miku lewd art cuz at least she's anything you wanna be and she isn't canonically 16 at all! (Even if I'm not a fan and hate that art 、even I know it's stupid to worry over)

It just pisses me off because it’s stopped channel from making what they want and expressing themself and I think that’s stupid. People have been sexualising Miku for YEARS and to get upset at one person for doing it and not the practice entirely is ridiculous (not that there’s anything wrong about sexualising Miku in the first place). Deco’s the one who made the song about the topic so people should be flaming him instead if anything (not that people should either way because it’s a BANGER). As an artist, I think it’s rude and blasphemous to dictate what an artist is allowed to express. Talking about sex and being sex-positive shouldn’t be shamed; I don’t understand why people are so dead set on making it a taboo topic when it’s so common. Though, you probably should make a second account or private account for NSFW artwork for professional and other reasons; like separating your work and home life. With the “eye issue”; a character design is always up to interpretation by an artist, so this is just twitter being stupid once again. It’s like getting upset about miku getting a new design, you sound crazy. Anyways, twitter is twitter, and people will always be stupid no matter how many times you try to educate them. Leave people alone; just block them.

I feel like the pink/magenta for Luka is already kind of canon if we're making windows (eyes) match the curtains (hair) here. Didn't Miku pretty much take cyan since it's part of her character's color palette? Also, vice versa for the others, though Meiko can either be red or brown (if I could draw I would only use red in a very particular situation, like she's either in that one particular collab or a vampire). Rin/Len: Yellow and Kaito: Blue (not Cyan) I wonder if for Rabbit Hole Miku, it was THOSE particular fans (the ones on X [Formerly known as Twitter]) that waste their and everybody else's time complaining about "underage" characters being used in this manner and also conflate super deformed and loli artstyle with "they're children" even though the characters in whatever media they're in could be over 18.

the funniest thing is that not only is that same luka eye color used in the mv for rin chan now, but it's also used for the module for the pv of rin chan now in project diva. Other examples of luka with a pinkish tint to her eyes in project diva include: her outfit for 1925, ultime luka from project diva X Plus other changed like: Kitty ears hoodie (yellow) If you are trying to find a canon in vocaloid you are the problem in my opinion

Lesson of the day, any fan of anything can be insufferable. Eastern or western, it doesn't matter.

I love vocaloid and Hatsune Miku so much, but god, the fandom sure is something else.

And also on the topic of people saying Japanese fans are the chiller between Japanese fans to western fans, I disagree strongly because if you take a look at Genshin, when Genshin/Honkai Star Rail users in Japan do not get what they want, they throw a hissy fit and ruin giveaways for western players. Examples: Skin incidents, Bunny Girl Incident, Japanese getting loads of primogems and western getting very little in comparison, etc. I learn that Japan gets away with everything because in Japan's eyes is as long as Japan players are happy and not hating them, everything is fine and thus don't mind when Japanese players screw up things for the Americans over small issues that were not even for them (Example Bunny girl incident.) Don't get me wrong, western players can absolutely still be toxic, but don't single out the japanese players as one tried to murder the Mihoyo president for the bunny girl incident. Also yes I know this is off-topic for Vocaloid but just showcasing how Japan users are also toxic. Edit: Correction, Mihoyo is chinese company but I believe they do have a japan server so stuff like this for Japan still can happen

When i see something like this i always remember 'R.I.P. gossip sea" from Cosmo@Busou, and how its still pretty actual 8 years later.

This was honestly really interesting to hear abt plus the art was super pretty and your voice is really nice so tysm

8:55 I'm sorry that proseka music is just so out of place here i laughed 😭😭

Idgaf about eye color, I care about him gooning about teenagers. Not talking about miku

the thing you said about vocaloid not being taken seriously is real. even today, my brother a while ago once said that vocaloid was a phase and that I would grow out of it 😭 he might’ve been joking and I might not have understood but like it’s such a weird thing to say bro

bro someone on reddit said they got harrassed for saying they thought depicting miku in sexualized media was gross and harmful. I mentioned that the opinion was a tad bit juvenile (but that they didnt deserve harrassment) and they replied with a BOOK about how my opinion was wrong. im tired of this fandom bro 😭

{somebody draws teto and messes up the outfit slightly} twitter : WITCH!!!!!!

Why would they call channel cast station a trend hopper when he's usually the one who starts them in the first place?!?!

as a big Luka fan, i literally wouldn't have been pressed about the eye color thing. i would've noticed it, but simplification is very common in art that's more than just 1 piece(points to that very same "Rin-chan now!" music video that seemingly no one complained about before until this silly ahh twitter art nothingburger). i would've been so happy that an artist included Luka, especially an artist who hasn't drawn her before and potentially might draw her again from then on out. (also, also: i've seen billions of art variations of Miku's, Rin's and Len's eye colors in particular... and i only saw very few people talk about it around 10 years ago in a "they're supposed to be THIS way!" sense, and even /then/ it was clear that it was a matter of personal preference in visual interpretation. like they're literally a suggestion of what the voice(s) MIGHT look like made from pixels; it's not gospel, nor is it anywhere near worth warranting harassment for....)

I think people were just looking for a bone to pick with channel. It feels like they've been dominating the scene culturally for over a year now (with Pure Pure marking the real takeoff point for that), and I think people were just tired of it and wanted an excuse to knock them down a peg. People are assuming they're a trend chaser because they didn't realize or forgot they've been a trend creator instead. I have massive respect for channel and as a Teto fan their devotion to drawing her on occasions like her birthday with all the details right and references to her most iconic songs are more than enough to tell me that they are far from a "fake fan". Plus, their artstyle is adorable, both static and animated-I'll never get tired of it. Also regarding your last statement, it feels like these days people need a reason to justify hating someone, because it makes you look bad if you just dislike someone because they're popular. But this ends up making things worse, because now you have people bending over backwards to come up with the stupidest reasons to hate a person online.

i saw someone say that channel ruined the art community or something along those lines and i asked how and they didn’t respond

I love channel sm, they didn't deserve that 😭😭😭

The Luka and Hatsune apology art is so adorable aaaa absolutely adore your art aswell! what a king!

the sheer amount of ppl on twitter coming on twitter blaming western fans automatically for channel’s statement when this was all japanese fans is so crazy to me 😭😭😭

I'm glad to be one of the OG Vocaloid fans instead of whatever the hell this shite is lmao

Ngl channel is also problematic. He makes nsfw of literally anyone

Honestly as a 2009 vocaloid fan, the fandoms always had issues here and there like any other fandom…though something about the introduction of project sekai feels like it’s made things a little worse ngl. Not the game itself being the issue, but a lot of the fans that joined this fandom through the game… Seriously, I wore my “My Dear Bunny” Miku cosplay to a con last year, and discovered fully what project sekai was…through the amount of harassment I got from people dressed as those characters…all because they didn’t know it was a canon design…

wait doesnt he draw suggestive art of bocchi??

2:15 tf do they need to apologize for? 😭

The fact some people also draws Luka with pink eyes and some people don’t even care 😭🙏

Channel deserves to get canceled but not over an eye color😭 Honestly I felt like everything with channel got too popular too fast and js got sick of it, when I found out he made nsfw of bocchi the rock that's when I really started to get tired of mesmerizer since it was still popular when I found out

Are people really raging over the eye color of a musical program 🥶

i hate channel but all that over eye color is crazy. but it pisses me off even more that people think it’s because “westerners” are mad that he drew sexualized miku. like 99% of the time the people complaining about these westerners aren’t from japan either. they’re ONLY upset because channel won’t draw sexy miku for them to goon too. goooood lord

Even luca eyes color are really incorrect i think luca with pink eyes looks really cute for me.

The second I heard project diva bgm, I knew you are a valid fan xD

I dont like channel since his fanart is an minors nsfw but harassing over an eye color is crazy😭

“Let’s complain about a Vocaloid that designs can vary!” 💀

channelcaststation is really just going through it jesus christ

didn’t channel make lolicon art

All of this for an eye color bro this world is cooked

Chris chan Sonic blue arms vibes

This is why I enjoy vocaloid on my own

I completely agree with everything that you said in this video, harassing somebody over an EYE COLOR on a FICTIONAL CHARACTER that they DO NOT DRAW OFTEN is insane! plus the whole rabbit hole thing, miku is a fictional character! she can be seen as anything you want! yes her canon age os sixteen but sometimes in the scnerios you put her in, maybe shes younger or older! and I think it is outrageous that people are harassing an amazing artist and animator for such simple things! and do people understand how much effort and time Channel puts into his work!?!? I tried animating once and I couldnt get through two frames...anyways, I completely agree with everything you said here in this video, so, yeah :)

Tbh i never even noticed that Luka's eye colour was wrong lol

I don't like channelcaststation in any way for making nsfw of characters depicted as teenagers. They seem like a problematic individual or people that should have their hard disk checked.

i'm a Megurine Luka fan since it was her that made me no longer hate and instead appreciate vocaloid so I am also kinda particular about her color scheme. Now if it's some alternate Luka for a song's story like with the thousands upon thousands of Mikus, ye she can have pink eyes idfc but i do take issue with it if she's with the rest of the vocaloid cast depicted with their accurate/original eye colors but hers is completely incorrect from her blue variant eyes for some reason. That being said, it's not even a big enough crime to warrant such vitriol. Whoever this harasser is, they sure are being sad and pathetic.

people on tiktok are calling channel a "gooner" for drawing sexy mikus, a p3d0 cuz miku is 16 in every media according to them (when any fan knows she can be of any age and race), and for drawing bochii on a bunny suit. I think people just love to hate others.

I was looking at your art during the entire video 😭 so pretty 🤤

I don't like Channelstation cus of how annoyingly horny they make their work and their weird work going into other media but this is insane

Just a typical day in X platform.

Great video!

Gosh twitter is the worst, i'm glad i don't have Twitter. Vocaloid can literally be anything you want so it's okay if you do another eye color, like please Twitter don't destroy the Vocaloid community 😭

Why would Channel draw s3xual stuff IN SCHOOL tho? Thats gross regardless

I love the way you write your script and how you speak about the subject! This being the first video I watched from you this was very entertaining to listen to in the background. I look forward to listening to your star gazing video!

Wait wait wait, so it wasn’t primarily because of western fans getting pouty about lewding Miku but it was ACTUALLY because of the guy getting an eye color wrong?? Wtf???

Something tells me this is gonna scare beginner artists from posting fanart because OOH SLIGHTLY WRONG EYE COLOR

if im correct didnt channel make suggestive art of bocchi-chan?

i feel called out for watching a large amount of seasonal anime but i don't just forget most of the anime i watch i do forget some but like that due to the amount but if you ask me something about them i'd probably have to think about it but would remember mostly

0:54 as a proseka and vocaloid fan.. i saw someone call emu a vocaloid.. SHES HUMAN BROOO

This is how you know our generation is fucked

That's just crossing the stoopidity line fr 'cuz the *_only_* point of Vocaloid is to EXPRESS YOURSELF, and the color palette or depictions of the characters can be different 'cuz (again) it's made to express yourself, so every color variation/depiction is semi-canon (as seen with project DIVA modules), it's so dissapointing and annoying that the community can't understand it, you know *THE PEOPLE WHO LIKE VOCALOID* I'm relatively new to the Vocaloid community (3 ½ years) and I know you are 100% in the right if you want to (example) make Miku Brazilian or have her with white hair and heterocrhomia So from now on, I'm depicting Luka with pink eyes #justiceforchannel

nice video!

I'm gonna draw Lucca with pink eyes now. Just to piss everyone off

Also, how could they be a trendhopper when they're the one MAKING the trends? Lol-

7:53 tbh if I tried to draw iroha from memory my brain would literally default to irina clockworker

Im thinking of drawing Luke with every eye colour other than blue

Maaaaan this makes me so glad I don't interact with most Vocaloid fans. To get that butthurt over *eyecolor* when Project Diva modules *REGULARLY* change their eye color (and hair color/length ect) for aesthetics to the module. Liiiiiiiike what??? Y'all (general) make this old fan tired.

as mostly genshin fan, maybe fandoms should just.... not exist...........

I feel like it’s also important to note that most vocaloids and Utaus usually have the same eye color as their hair. Miku, kaito, meiko, teto, gumi etc. They all have matching eyes and hair. Plus luka as a character is also depicted mainly in the color pink for concerts/ marketing despite her main color being black and gold with accents of blue, so it’s easy to see why this mistake was made. People suck

Bro i getting mad rn like over a eye like people does be stupid these days oml

Ppl out here being dramatic mf by an EYE COLOUR, if young artists or a young person in general and see this, they will be scared af bc of their dramataic ahh, making them feeling insecure or stressed by worring if they did something wrong

OK my question is why get so butt hurt about a eye color?! Like in so many album art for vocaloid with varying eye colors for the singers and yet when a artist decides a eye color looks better on this character. Personally imo I love seeing all the unique alt designs people make for the vocaloids! All the creativity people have!

It's not just the eye color, it was also about the slightly lewd miku art he used to draw occassionally. In the end of the statement he wrote that he will no longer draw such art beginning september 1st. he later published another tweet where he also specifies what he meant by that by saying that lewd poses with full clothing is considered "normal art" and that by "lewd art" he means any art where nudity is implied (like the one art he drew with miku waking up and getting ready for work where you saw her getting changed) as well as lewd outfits (he deleted the post which started that trend where everyone drew that bikini outfit with the tie under the bikini). the pure pure animation did also give him a little bit of backlash back then which lead him to state in a tweet that the character shown in the pure pure animation wouldn't be miku but an OC who looks like her.

8:43 like Sonic having blue arms

famous artist: makes one minor mistake in their artwork twitter: 🤯🤯🤯

I have a hot take disregarding the whole situation besides the quoted sentence "People who watch 15 anime per season and never think about them ever again - how could you do that, its someone's creation you're treating like a (don't know what you said) of gum but also that you're letting go of an entire universe with no respect to what it gave you. You have no like full care for it I just cannot understand that mentality" I also take fiction in a way - seriously, however that is how some people pass the time even if they dont look back. its a perfectly normal thing that people do with many things. Its normal to let go of things. On the contrary yes its somehow insensitive and consuming but we as humans are core to core different and share different values. Consumerism has been a thing for many decades. You play a game of chess, loose or win and as a human you dont look back unless you genuinely have interest to improve. Also I believe you overdid it with "15 anime per season" there is no normie that doesn't look back on them as a memory. Not a whole lot of people are nerds. The respect to the artwork, composition and creation of the anime is given by just watching and enjoying the show as you go your way. Also there isn't a person who can give a total 100% of their care for a person or object, let alone a piece of media. You indeed can understand that mentality if you actually think about what it means.

allat heated beef over an eye color 😭🙏

wait what I thought luka’s eyes were like a bluish-purple… hwhat…

on behalf of the project sekai community,,, i'm sorry uhh i feel tired right now normally i'd write a huge essay but i might come back (i just came to this video lol)

look, it doesnt mean if the eye colour thing is invalid, still doesnt mean its okay to let channel get away with drawing bocchi the rock nfsw.

Main thing abt the story: Thats just messed up, Doesnt channel have other art that NEEDS to be talked about? Plus it’s OK to draw a character wrong if you admit that you did it wrong. About Luka’s eye: Like a said in the second sentence, It’s OK to draw a character WRONG. Plus, The eye isn’t really a matter. It looks nice anyway, even if it was not Luka’s original eye color. That’s all i have to say, I’ll probably Update anything that has happened to channel.

LOL CHANNELCASTSTATION IN JAIL IN THUMBNAILLL LMAOO XD ROFL ROFLMAO

No way in EARTH ppl are being overly dramatic because channel colored luka's eyes wrong😨 CHILL OUT ITS JUST A EYE😭😭
