It's an instrument: you have a piano roll interface, draw in your melody like editing MIDI in a DAW, and add lyrics to each note (usually with some manual phoneme fine-tuning), and it outputs a stream of vocal audio. Human Japanese singers, especially women, tend to operate in a higher octave range than what is common in the west. It's slightly culturally insensitive to take shots at vocal pitch when talking about J-Pop. Pitch is largely a social/cultural construct, and Japan generally leans into the idea of higher pitch -> polite or cute and lower pitch -> aggressive or rude. (e.g. you raise your pitch when talking to your boss, and drop it to express your disgust with someone.) Just putting that out there, not trying to be accusatory or anything. It's just always good to keep in mind that western cultural norms are hardly universal. |

For the record, I was responding to the gp saying
> ... pushing the boundaries of pop music in a way that wouldn't be possible with a real singer
=> I felt it was possible to do what the example does by singing slowly and speeding it up afterwards.
