Sure, Dragonball featured Lunch, but she only appears Blonde with green eyes in a few scenes. Until this part of the anime made air in Japan, Dragonball (the earlier series from the 1980's) barely had a TV deal, with a few episodes half-done by Harmony Gold. Dragonball Z didn't really secure a strong United States TV deal, until after main character Goku reached the first Super Sayajin stage, in which he earns Blonde hair and green eyes.
Take a look at the most popular anime titles over the last 25 years. Well for starters, the image of the Blonde beauty (or cutie) with blue or green eyes, has always been a sure-fire way to grab attention overseas. So what makes Blonde so attractive, as to give us so many yellow haired Vocaloids?
The picture of Lena Horne and Sweet Ann comes from here, you can tell the problem right away. Some have compared her singing style to Lena Horne, saying this tune may have been what they were aiming for, when tuning Sweet Ann's womanly voice. Lena Horne died in May of 2010, Ann's second release was in September of 2011 in Taiwan.) Ann was the third ever Female Engloid (English speaking Vocaloid) and has a deeper voice than most Vocaloids, as heard here. (Lena was still alive when Ann was released in Japan in 2007, but passed away a year and four months before Ann's "animealike" re-release. Lena was born June 30th, while Ann was originally released June 29th. Just look at the background! This borders on racist and disrespectful, as the art came out exactly one day before the birthday of Lena Horne. Her international re-release has her with a more "anime" look, but the origins are no less shocking, especially when you add the fact that they made it look on the box like Sweet Ann is a Frankenstein, singing to you from the depths of Hell itself. What's more? Fans have been trying for years to make LEON and LOLA look like Lily and Adult Len!īut more shocking is Sweet Ann, whose box art design is based on Black actress Lena Horne, and yet Ann too, appears fair skinned with Blonde hair and blue eyes. Even the number of green and brown haired Vocaloids can't even touch this list. Of all the other hair colors, Blonde is the only dominant one. there is a ton of blonde Vocaloids these days! In fact, there's more blonde Vocaloids now than any other hair color. I wasn't sure how to type this, as I'm not a fan of Vocahate, the brief trend of "shaming" Vocaloids or otherwise hating on them, so I hope I'm not being rude here.īut have you guys noticed.
