  • I Only Speak Konglish
rdfs:comment
  • Before her release, SBS Artech claimed that SeeU can recreate English by using her Korean voicebank. After her release however, many users of SeeU began to criticize SBS's claim after discovering a number of unlisted phonetics that were included in her Korean voicebank for English recreation. Sadly, the phonetics were unneeded and caused little controversy with producers and fans who began to question the need for them at all. Shortly after the small controversy began, GaGain uploaded the song along with its PV up on CreCrew and YouTube. GaGain has said that the song is only for fun though and is not to be taken seriously. The song has many deliberate spelling mistakes and bad pronunciations purposely included to mock the results ("1, 2, 3" is at one point written as "1 to 3" for instance)

  • Before her release, SBS Artech claimed that SeeU can recreate English by using her Korean voicebank. After her release however, many users of SeeU began to criticize SBS's claim after discovering a number of unlisted phonetics that were included in her Korean voicebank for English recreation. Sadly, the phonetics were unneeded and caused little controversy with producers and fans who began to question the need for them at all. Shortly after the small controversy began, GaGain uploaded the song along with its PV up on CreCrew and YouTube. GaGain has said that the song is only for fun though and is not to be taken seriously. The song has many deliberate spelling mistakes and bad pronunciations purposely included to mock the results ("1, 2, 3" is at one point written as "1 to 3" for instance) as well as word puns using Korean and English words. The song is entirely done using SeeU's Korean voicebank- the result is SeeU singing most of the song in "Konglish". She also makes a reference to her demo song "I=Fantasy". The song is sung rap-style and is meant to be funny and silly, so is not to be taken seriously. In the song, SeeU is trying to have a conversation with the listener. Thinking that listener might not understand what she is saying, SeeU tells the listener that it is her best and that she was made to speak "Konglish" and that the listener needs to study it if they want to come to Korea or else they will be lonely. SeeU also accuses the listener of being an Otaku, but states it's alright as it is too late because they are already listening to the song (referencing the fact that many fans of VOCALOID are declared "Otakus" just for listening to VOCALOID songs). SeeU also criticizes her master, GaGain, for not knowing how to use her Japanese voicebank (which was included despite all the fuss being over her English capabilities) causing GaGain himself to insert Japanese in the song, saying "Japanese is hard, damn it!" SeeU also sings about her status as the only VOCALOID with a Korean voicebank and the criticism about her not being able to recreate English fully. At the end of the PV, the English VOCALOID OLIVER appears with question marks above his head, as he didn't seem to know what SeeU was singing about.
