Thank you to everyone who participated in some way, either by submitting one of the ~430 original vocal synth songs or watching and sharing them! We had over 4,300 unique visitors during our event, coming from 91 unique countries!<\/p>\n        \n\n        \n        <p>Vocagathering 2026 had people come together from around the globe. The top participating countries in order of visitors were the United States, Japan, The United Kingdom, Canada, and South Korea.&nbsp;<\/p>\n        \n\n        \n        <p>How was the event? Let us know how it went through our survey (open until the end of May 2025).<\/p>\n        \n\n        <div class=\"flex-row center-flex\">\n            <a class=\"btn-link\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/ZZWs1kFZmYRwnm876\">Take the survey here!<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n\n        \n        <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Vocagathering again?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n        \n\n        \n        <p>If this is your introduction to Vocagathering, here\u2019s a quick rundown of the event!&nbsp;<\/p>\n        \n\n        \n        <p>Vocagathering is a vocal synth focused posting festival that encourages producers big and small to create and upload music during the same timeframe! The event was inspired by Vocaloid Collection (vocacolle) and aims to celebrate vocal synth creatives all across the world.<\/p>\n        \n\n        \n        <p>Vocagathering\u2019s main goal is to promote the discovery of vocal synth creatives, and to build a sense of community within the global vocal synth online sphere.<\/p>\n        \n\n        \n        <p>Vocagathering 2026 was our 2nd Vocagathering ever! It was held from March 14th 12:00AM UTC to March 18th 12:00AM UTC and included numerous new features, such as the discovery radio and the all songs page. You can still see the <a href=\"\/2026\/rankings\">final rankings<\/a>, check out songs randomly on the <a href=\"\/2026\/discover\">radio<\/a>, and view <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLuWSbNahPq2bH_EVnakJqirE3OwXPBU0z\">the official playlist<\/a><\/p>\n        \n\n        \n        <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How were the new features?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n        \n\n        \n        <p>In this second iteration of Vocagathering, we tried many new features based on last event\u2019s feedback. Specifically, we heard that users wanted more interactivity with the site and the ability to view all entries was not working as expected (the Youtube hashtag did not display all entries). Thus, we introduced the first iteration of the Discovery Radio (with song voting) and the All Songs page this year.<\/p>\n        \n\n        \n        <p>According to our analytics, the Discovery Page was the most popular page of the website. In fact, it was around 2 times as visited as the Rankings page! Thus, we\u2019re glad vocal synth fans got some usage out of the new feature!<\/p>\n        \n\n        \n        <p>Although appearing simple, the Discovery Radio and All Songs pages required substantial effort to implement and debug. But now that we have a foundation to build off, please let us know what you thought of these new features in the survey!&nbsp;<\/p>\n        \n\n        \n        <p>We are already considering ways to improve it in the future and would love your feedback.&nbsp;<\/p>\n        \n\n        <div class=\"flex-row center-flex\">\n            <a class=\"btn-link\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/ZZWs1kFZmYRwnm876\">Take the survey here!<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n\n        \n        <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Special Showcase<\/h2>\n        \n\n        \n        <p>This year, we trialed giving compliments through Discovery Radio. Here, we want to showcase some songs that received the most compliments but you may not have seen yet since they aren\u2019t in the top 100~&nbsp;<\/p>\n        \n\n        \n        <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nice instrumental!&nbsp;<\/h3>\n        \n\n        \n        <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n        <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ADACHI REI : Z.M.
