Miku's Digital Goblin Sings of vocaloid

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about vocaloid: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

A goblin content farm, asked to produce a hundred takes on vocaloid per hour, found that around take seventy the takes began to converge — not on the truth but on a particular shape of wrongness that the goblins now consider the canonical goblin vocaloid aesthetic.
