Three new novels announced by J-Novel Club. One of them is ECHO, an adaptation of the Gumi Vocaloid song. Its by Akira, the author of the Yume Nikki novel (also licensed by J-NC), Sasami-san@Gambaranai, and the upcoming SCP Foundation novel.

And if Im remembering right, this is the second Vocaloid novel to get an official English release.

Kinda interested in the Bakarina thing too.

In regards to adaptations, I haven't read enough to be sure but I dunno what I feel about adapting things that originally had very little active storytelling. If the injection of the non-canon personalities aren't good, it'll read a lot like a fan fiction, but I'm sure a professional writer would probably be capable of pulling off a great adaptation.


Hmm, the Vocaloid novels are standalone anyway, so there isnt really a need to conform to anything aside from their respective song/album themes, aside from the songs that are straight up stories like the rom-com songs.

Most of the ones Ive checked out are quite good in presenting stories with their songs themes, and the characters are well thought out. Some of them dont even use the Vocaloid mascots as characters, so theres that.

So yeah, its kinda up to the authors to pull it off. From the ones Ive finished, Disappearance did pretty well with the very basic character of Miku (singing robot), and Sakura no Ame was great with its main characters as Vocaloid mascot stand-ins (especially Rin, Gumi, and Leon).

(And... Im remembering wrong. The Kagerou novels also got official English releases, so that makes ECHO the third.)
