NEXT!!! Sound of the Future is a Vocaloid fancomic created by rice deity.It's the year 2018, and Vocaloids have experienced a resurgence in popularity. In this world, they're more than just computer software: Vocaloids are androids with the ability to carve their own path in life, be it in the music industry or elsewhere. Our protagonist, 4N01 (or "Shine", as she's more often referred to) is a Miku V4X model who has a coveted reputation as a paparazzi specialising in feeding the public's desire to know about the best and brightest Vocaloid talent there is to offer. Unfortunately she's notoriously down on her luck: while trying to get snaps of the Vocaloid influencer Princess, she and her equipment end up going over a bridge, leaving her drenched and without the means to earn an income. A chance meeting with a Miku superfan, however, leaves her with ambitions of becoming more than just another prying eye into the world of Vocaloid stardom...The comic can be read on WEBTOON. There is also a blog and a website for the comic that provides extra info about the characters and setting.

comment
Sure, Let's Go with That: After Shine tells Tech she’s a photographer, Tech asks if she takes pictures of "landscapes and stuff" which Shine hesitantly agrees to upon seeing how excited Tech is. In chapter 8, Shine goes along with Roll’s assumption that her disappointment at the true character of someone she knows is about an online friend, even though she’s actually talking about Tech.

No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: In-Universe example. In chapter 10, Shine doesn’t want to go on O-Len’s show based on the viral video of her falling off a bridge, but Roll urges her to do it anyway since she’ll still be put in the public eye even if it’s not for the reason she wants.

comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: In chapter 2, Shine remarks that it’s common for humans to credit Vocaloid songs to "Hatsune Miku" generally instead of the one who actually sang it, similar to the Fandom-Enraging Misconception of people crediting Vocaloids instead of actual music producers.

comment
Tempting Fate: At the end of Chapter 1.1, after Shine's equipment falls in the harbor, she outwardly exclaims that there's no way things can get any worse, just as she herself gets knocked over the side of the bridge. Shine tells herself that there’s no way the video of her falling off a bridge that was posted on social media has that many views. Cue a panel revealing that the Twitter user who posted it has 200k followers. After Shine’s second run-in with Tech where they have an argument she muses that it’s possible but unlikely that she’ll run into her again while she’s in the area, though her luck would have to be really bad for that to happen. They do, indeed, run into each other again while she's in the area, although they end up resolving their conflict with each other.

comment
Celebrity Resemblance: Even though individual Vocaloids have unique appearances, they still have a similar general look to each other, which means most non-celebrity Vocaloids resemble famous Vocaloids of the same type as them. This leads to Shine getting mistaken for the famous Miku who sang "Melt" and a possibly different Miku who sang "Love is War" when she forgets to hide her twintails in chapter 2.

Poor Communication Kills: Tech’s attempt to convince Shine to abandon her goal of being an idol by being Cruel to Be Kind in chapter 7 ends up backfiring on her. The harshness of her delivery and More Insulting than Intended word choice ends with the recipient of her message having a negative impression of her and focusing solely on her unintentional insult. Tech tries to remedy this in chapter 9 by apologizing and explaining what she meant.

Adorably Precocious Child: The doctor that treats Shine after her fall is a Kaai Yuki (a Vocaloid modelled after the appearance and mannerisms of a little girl), and she tries her hardest to be a stoic professional. She also happens to be a massive fan of Miku, with a scrapbook full of autographs and photos of her with some of the top Mikus in the industry, which moves her to waive Shine's medical bill and ask her to sign her book as well.

Mutual Envy: In the afterword of chapter 8, a Miku, Rin, and Len are jealous of Luka because she was programmed to be bilingual, but she's also jealous of them because they get to hang out with their English counterparts when they go overseas. Shine has always dreamed of being an idol and getting to sing on stage just like Tech used to. Tech herself wishes she had the drive and passion for performing music that Shine does, feeling inferior because of her trauma preventing her from singing.

Fantastic Ableism: Vocaloids who have problems with their voiceboxes not only face a significant barrier to fulfilling their intended purpose as singing idols, but are also barred from legally being able to fix them due to their voiceboxes being copyrighted. During her idol training, Shine was ostracized by her classmates because they thought that she was disrupting the class by singing badly on purpose and refused to believe her when she told them she was physically unable to stay on pitch.

Emotional Maturity Is Physical Maturity
 NEXT!!! Sound of the Future (Webcomic) / int_200422a4
comment
Emotional Maturity Is Physical Maturity: Zig-Zagged. Androids' ages are not generally determined by chronology but rather by how old they look (since they can just get a mod if they want to be a different age), but some Vocaloids who have apparent ages of children display maturity beyond what a human that old would (for example, Dr. Yuki is a 9 year old medical doctor and O-Len is a 14-year old talk-variety show host who manages the rest of the cast). However, these young-looking Vocaloids frequently have moments where they display childish behaviour, such as Dr. Yuki's obsession with Mikus and admiration of Shine, and Roll's childish fashion sense and bossiness towards adults.

comment
Mistaken Identity: Some humans are unaware that there are multiples of each Vocaloid and assume that every Vocaloid of the same type is the same person. This happens to Shine in chapter 2.2 where a human girl treats her like a celebrity because she thinks that Shine is the one and only Hatsune Miku. In chapter 5, when Gumiya shows Shine an old photo of himself from when he was still living as a female idol, she doesn't realize it's him in the photo and thinks it's a picture of one his sisters. Roll puts on her cutesy young girl persona in front of Shine and pretends to need directions to the station because Shine's different outfit makes Roll mistake her for a celebrity (this is despite Roll and Shine being neighbours who've spent a fair amount of time together).

comment
Bilingual Bonus: The text where Tech asks Shine if her name is pronounced the same as the Japanese word for "die" is written in Japanese and left untranslated to English, unlike the rest of the comic's Translation Convention. Some of the text on Hakase’s business card is in Japanese instead of English. Roll’s nickname of “Die-chan� for Shine in chapter 10 only makes sense if one is familiar with the Japanese word for die being romanized as “shine� (pronounced sheen-eh rather than like Shine’s name). Some of the idol's signatures in their photocards (even those who have unrevealed codenames and serial codes like Dormouse) are written in Japanese.

comment
Girlish Pigtails: One of the features of Hatsune Miku's default design is a pair of twintails that add to her youthful, innocent image. Each individual Miku android is created with this hairstyle with the intention of invoking this trope for the sake of them being marketable idols, but not all of them end up keeping the style or matching the personality type.

Angry Cheek Puff: In chapter 10's footnote Shine puffs out her cheeks and frowns because she's annoyed at Gumiya's suggestion for her to become a Sakura Miku, since she'd rather have an active role as a performer over the Sakura Miku's modelling job.

Significant Birth Date: Invoked; the first generation of Hatsune Miku V4X units (including Shine) were created on August 31st to match up with the anniversary of Hatsune Miku V2’s first press. Rushing this release date is what caused Shine to be created with a manufacturing error that made her voicebox malfunction.

comment
Older Than They Look: Vocaloids are created to be a specific age and don't physically age naturally even if they mentally do, meaning that androids can be mentally older than they look while being chronologically Younger Than They Look. Dr. Yuki looks like a little girl but is mentally old enough to work as a doctor, with her childish appearance making it difficult for her to be taken seriously.

Blatant Lies: Shine gives Tech the excuse that the reason why she was still near the store where Tech works several hours after Tech gave her directions to the station was because she got lost again and came back for further directions, which Shine herself then realizes makes no sense because if she did get lost, she probably wouldn't have even been able to find her way back in the first place, plus she had no reason to come back instead of just asking any other passerby. Despite this, Tech somehow believes her.

Hope Is Scary: After spending so long believing her dream of becoming an idol was impossible because of her singing bug, Shine receiving the CLEF from Hakase that allows her to sing should have finally given her hope. Instead, she starts to fear that she’s still not good enough to be an idol, worrying both that it won’t make her happy and that pursuing her dream and failing once more would truly confirm that she’s worthless.

Intergenerational Friendship: Tech and Shine appear to be around the same age- 20 and 18 respectively- but chronologically Tech is 11 and Shine is only 2. This difference is made most obvious with Tech and Shine’s differing views of the state of the idol industry. Tech doesn’t even recognize any of the idols currently employed at First Sound Entertainment, while Shine wasn’t even alive when Tech and all her coworkers were active performers.

Rebuilt Pedestal: After Shine's longtime favourite Idol Singer Tech disapproves of her dream of being an idol and tells her not being able to sing makes a Miku worthless (a particularly harsh statement because of Shine's voice bug that Tech isn't aware of), Shine feels like the hopeful and inspiring idol she knew might've all been a ruse. However, Tech eventually runs into Shine again and apologizes to her, revealing that she also can't sing (due to psychological issues rather than physical ones) and that the industry's unsympathetic treatment of her following a traumatic experience made her so bitter and jaded that she pushed those values onto Shine. Tech gives Shine a song she wrote as an Apology Gift and agrees to support Shine's idol career, which restores Shine's admiration of Tech and makes her overjoyed to get Tech's contact info.

Lonely Together: When Gumiya first met Shine, he’d been thrust into the workforce away from the fellow Megpoid units that he considered family which left him lonely and doubting himself, and Shine was a newly created android who’d been ostracized from her classmates because of her singing bug. Though they only had a brief interaction where Shine gave Gumiya her umbrella, a single stranger offering him kindness and making him laugh gave Gumiya the drive to keep trying to get hired as an accountant. Shine still has no close friends in the present, so Gumiya tries to be there for her and give her the same drive to pursue her dream of being an idol so that she doesn’t feel lonely and rejected the way he used to. Implied to be the case between Gumiya and his roommate Roll. Roll is a Kagamine Rin android with a conspicuously absent counterpart who mostly interacts with fellow informants, paparazzi, and idol enthusiasts for her job, and though Gumiya has a positive relationship with many people through his work he’s still away from his family, making their relationship seem more familial than mere roommates through their shared lack of the sibling bonds they once had or could’ve had.

Fan of Underdog: Despite Bright's unimpressive overall sales number for her first album, she has a few dedicated fans who admire her hard work and vow to purchase every album she releases, which only makes Bright feel like people are ignoring the quality of her actual music.

Bishie Sparkle: In chapter 5, Shine has sparkles around her from Gumiya's point of view, showing how he's falling in love with her. Shine's adoration towards Tech makes her see her with sparkles around her head when they meet again in chapter 7. Gumiya gets a sparkle effect after he trusts Shine with his phone for the day because of how thankful Shine is for his kindness.

You Are the Translated Foreign Word: In chapter 1, Shine says "of course I know about Hatsupress, the first press of Miku units", which is redundant since "hatsu" is Japanese for "first". O-Len’s talk show title is displayed as "OMAKASE!!! Len-kun no Jikan!!!" with the (inexact) English translation in parentheses, "leave it to Len!".

Troubled Backstory Flashback: Chapter 3's flashback to Shine's backstory starts out with her goofing around with her classmates and expecting to become an idol famous enough to be hired for Magical Mirai. She then develops a fault in her voicebox that causes her singing ability to slowly worsen, until she's failing her classes and annoying everyone around her. The rejection she receives from her teacher and former friends makes her decide to give up on being an idol, which is why she works as a paparazzi in the present.

The Idol's Blessing: Double Subverted. When Shine meets her favorite Idol Singer Tech in chapter 2, she tells her that while she admires idols she feels like she could never be one. Tech responds that she should always pursue her dreams and chase happiness, which makes Shine regain her desire to become an idol. In chapter 7, Tech is shocked Shine took her speech that way when Shine reveals to her that she's seriously planning to be an idol. She actually hates the industry and doesn't think Shine should be a part of it, telling her that her dream is impractical, but after having a Guilt-Induced Nightmare about how Shine reacted to her disapproval Tech apologizes to Shine and gives her a song she wrote as an Apology Gift, exchanging contact info with her and encouraging her to be an idol.

Break-Up/Make-Up Scenario: Shine’s admiration of and newfound friendship with Tech is tested at the end of chapter 7 when Tech gets angry at her for wanting to pursue her lifelong dream of being an idol. Tech’s unintentionally insensitive remark about Shine being worthless for not singing, which she said without knowing about Shine’s voice bug, makes Shine avoid Tech and worry that everything she knew about her was wrong. Then, in chapter 9 (the final chapter of the prologue), Tech meets up with Shine again and clarifies that she was going too far trying to warn Shine about how harsh the industry is because of how they treated her when she became unable to sing. Shine accepts the apology and the two get along well in the following chapters, with Tech even directly supporting Shine’s future career.

Jerkass Has a Point: Roll tells Shine that she shouldn't be an idol with her usual Brutal Honesty, pointing out that she has no useful connections to any idols, is notoriously unlucky, and doesn't have any way to stand out from the hundreds of other Mikus in the industry. Although Shine initially argues against her, she does agree with Roll's suggestion for her to try and get a famous Miku's contact information, and later confesses to Gumiya that she feels like Roll was right about her not being suited to being an idol.

More Insulting than Intended: In the context of the rest of what she's saying, Tech's statement that "a Miku who can’t sing is less than worthless" is about how a Vocaloid's value to society is determined by how well they can perform as idols and appease the public. Though she's saying this because she thinks Shine is foolish for wanting to be an idol, she doesn't realize that Shine has a bug that literally prevents her from singing which is the main source of Shine's insecurity, making her statement come across a lot worse than intended.

Devastating Remark: Shine, an aspiring Idol Singer who struggles with feelings of inferiority because of having a disability that prevents her from singing, gets told by her favourite idol Tech that being unable to sing makes her worthless. Shine spends the rest of the day in a haze and can't stop thinking about what she said, no longer admiring her the way she used to. Even though Shine doesn't think Tech meant to hurt her that badly since she couldn't have possibly known that she can't sing, she can't figure out what else Tech could've meant by saying that.

Alone in a Crowd: The debut announcement image has Shine standing in the middle of a crowd of all the other Mikus in the cast. Shine faces forward with an uncertain expression while the other Mikus are all walking in different directions, symbolizing Shine starting the story out of place among her fellow Miku units.

comment
Idol Singer: Vocaloids are manufactured to become singing idols; they are put through mandatory idol training with dancing and singing classes for the purpose of getting scouted by an agency. The series revolves around examining what it means to be an idol and the challenges that come with being one, using Ridiculously Human Robots as a metaphor to show how idols are essentially marketable products who aren't seen as real people by their agencies or fans.

Amusing Injuries: Downplayed when Shine is knocked off a bridge in the first chapter. Her being knocked over is played for comedy, but she is realistically shown to have gone to the doctor's afterwards and does face physical repercussions, like when she falls asleep later in the chapter due to her extreme fatigue. However, she is still better off than a real human would be. One of Roll’s favourite tactics to try and convince Shine to do something is to beat her up until she agrees to it, which is usually played for comedy, never giving her any bruising or lasting pain.

Actually, I Am Him: In Bright's interlude, Shine fails to see through Idol Singer Bright's Paper-Thin Disguise and nearly shoplifts one of Bright's albums right in front of her, going as far as accusing Bright of not appreciating her own album and giving a lengthy speech about Bright's high points and how she believes she'll succeed one day. While starting out comedic, the moment ends on a heartwarming note where Shine's passion for her album makes Bright herself appreciate it again.

It's no wonder breast mods are so popular.

Even Gumiya, easily the most well adjusted main character by the comic’s present, has a Dark and Troubled Past where he was treated poorly for trying to be an accountant as an android created to perform music.

Advice Backfire: In chapter 2, Tech tells Shine that people should try to achieve their dreams no matter what, and define those dreams for themselves. The problem is that Shine’s dream is to be an idol (which she lied to Tech about), an occupation that has traumatized Tech, making her not want Shine to be one. This makes the two of them come into conflict in chapter 7 when Shine tells her the truth.

Broken Pedestal: Shine always admired Tech and used her music for comfort whenever she was feeling down. In her attempt to express her thanks for how much Tech helped her, she tells her that she wants to be an idol just like her. This finally makes Tech reveal how jaded she is from her experiences in the industry, culminating in her yelling at Shine that being unable to sing makes a Miku worthless. Though she couldn't have known about Shine's singing bug, this still damages Shine's opinion of her and makes her wonder how much of the Tech she knew was real.

The idol photocard interlude uses different art styles for some of the idols. Null's is more painterly and horror themed, Candy's uses pastels to demonstrate her cutesy idol persona, and Bright's and Beat's uses neon colours.

Androids Are People, Too
 NEXT!!! Sound of the Future (Webcomic) / int_98a7ffba
comment
Androids Are People, Too: A major theme of the setting is the tension between humans and androids, as the humans are still trying to get used to not seeing androids as servile tools without any free will and the androids are grappling with their own identities. Tech struggled with not being treated as a person while she was an idol even though she feels emotions just like humans do, and fears Shine would be mistreated in the same way.

The character profiles have miscellaneous information about the characters like their serial codes, likes, specialties, graduation dates, etc. Tech’s also has a bunch of sticky notes written by Shine with some theories about her retirement and rumors about her career, including Foreshadowing for her ghost writing songs for her idol agency.

Flashback Cut: During Tech’s explanation about why she’s no longer an idol there’s two panels showing her past self, one where she’s wearing her idol outfit standing normally and another where she’s on the ground looking up in despair with her face covered in shadow, before the scene returns to Tech and Shine in the present. Gumiya’s explanation to Shine about how he struggled to convince himself that he could be a salaryman instead of an idol like he was manufactured to be is accompanied by a panel briefly showing his past self wearing an idol costume. As Shine puts on the CLEF and sings successfully for the first time in 2 years she has brief flashbacks to when she was in training, remembering all the times people doubted and mistreated her because of her singing bug.

comment
Dramatically Missing the Point: During Shine and Tech’s second meeting in chapter 7, Shine is so focused on Tech implying that she’s worthless for being unable to sing that she barely remembers the rest of what she said, which the audience only finds out in a flashback sequence from Tech’s perspective in chapter 9. Tech was trying to convince Shine that the idol industry is harmful and won’t value her as a person, while her current job (which Tech believes is photography because of Shine lying to her previously) allows her to take credit for her own work and not be controlled by other people.

comment
Speech Bubbles: Hakase has differently shaped speech bubbles than the other characters, being boxy rather than round. According to Word of God, this is because Hakase is speaking Japanese with an English voicebank. This can also be seen with Luka in the afterword of chapter 8 when she's speaking in English, along with her text being in a different font. Shine's speech bubble turns into a heart when Roll tells her that she mistook her for a celebrity and Shine excitedly asks if she really means it.

Mood Whiplash

comment
Mood Whiplash: Shine has a heartwarming moment with Tech in the 2nd chapter when Tech tells her she really enjoyed talking to her. Being complimented by her favourite idol makes Shine say that that was one of her best days ever... Until the mood immediately shifts when she says she was just kidding since she still lost all her stuff in the harbor earlier that day. Played for Drama in chapter 7.2. Shine and Tech's conversation starts out pleasant, with Shine gushing to Tech about how much she loves her music, and Tech seeming happy to have run into Shine again. Until Shine says that Tech made her want to become an idol, which immediately makes Tech act much colder towards her. This rapidly leads to Tech launching into a full-on angry rant about how much she hates the idol industry and how foolish Shine is for wanting to be one, emotionally devastating her. The sudden shift in mood highlights how traumatized Tech is from her former career.

Meet Cute: Gumiya and Shine's first meeting. Gumiya was alone outside while it was pouring down rain, then Shine approached him to offer him her umbrella. Initially, Gumiya thought she was nice enough to give up her umbrella for a stranger, until she pulled out another umbrella from her coat and told him she always carries a bunch of umbrellas on her. The ridiculousness of her actions cheered him up, and he treasured the memory of that day ever since, even though Shine finds it embarrassing.

comment
Color-Coded Characters: Characters' shading and dialogue boxes are in each character’s signature colour. Every Vocaloid model is associated with a specific colour and the characters of that model have a unique shade. Among the main cast, Hatsune Miku androids like Shine and Tech are teal, Kagamine Rin androids like Roll are orange, and Megpoid androids like Gumiya and Hakase are green.

Wingding Eyes: In chapter 5.1, Shine has spirals in her her eyes when she panics about how she has no idea how to be an idol. At the end of chapter 5.2, Gumiya's embarrassment at how he complimented Shine so much in their previous conversation that it came just short of being a Love Confession is demonstrated by the spirals in his eyes.

Bait-and-Switch Comment: In chapter 7, when Hakase tells Shine that the solution for her faulty voicebox will cause her voice to stop working entirely in six years, Shine starts out seeming disturbed... Until she finishes her sentence by saying how she's not worried about it at all. Upon meeting her Old Friend Hasami, Shine figures that Hasami probably isn't happy to see her again because of how Shine used to exclude her from their friend group when they were younger. In the middle of having a fairly awkward conversation, Hasami seems to comfirm Shine's fears by saying she didn't want to meet with her, before pivoting into an apology for how she feels like she wasn't sympathetic towards Shine's struggles when they were in idol training and how she wishes she could've built up more courage before seeing her again.

Accidental Celebrity: Shine’s always dreamed of being famous, but she doesn’t expect it to happen by a popular Youtuber filming her falling off a bridge and posting it on social media, earning her the attention of celebrity talk show host O-Len. O-Len’s job as a talk-show host was unintentionally prompted by a viral meme of a girl passing out in his lap with a huge nosebleed which earned him enough attention on social media to get hired.

You Are Better Than You Think You Are: When Shine doubts her ability to become an idol in chapter 5, Gumiya challenges her insecurity by revealing to her that he used to be one, and that when he quit to become an accountant it was Shine's act of kindness towards him when she gave him her umbrella on a rainy day that encouraged him to not give up on his dreams. He reassures to her that she had a profound influence on his life whether she realized it or not, which is all she needs to be good enough. In Bright's interlude, she internally narrates that she's disappointed in her debut album's failure and wishes people actually liked her for her music and not just her hardworking idol image. Then, while wearing a disguise, she notices Shine trying to steal her album which causes Shine to justify it by explaining how much she loves Bright's music and wants her to keep making more, not realizing how her words give Bright the reassurance that her album really is worth promoting.

Friendship Denial: Shine is shown hanging out with Gumiya and Roll fairly often, gets advice from them even though Roll likes to insult her, and Gumiya tells her he appreciates having her in his life and even uses First-Name Basis to refer to her, but in chapter 2 Shine tells Tech she has “no real friends�. While many of these interactions happen after her conversation with Tech, in chapter 4 the moment she gets back to her apartment Gumiya and Roll are waiting for her and grateful to see she’s back (Gumiya more openly). Because of her past experiences with social rejection Shine sees herself as uncharismatic and unsuited to pursue her dream of being an idol, which is why she’s reluctant to consider them her friends.

Fate Drives Us Together: By the 7th chapter, Shine has already ran into Tech by coincidence three times: Once after meeting her at the convenience store she works at after having a conversation where she called Tech her favorite idol, again after Shine falls asleep and wakes up just as Tech is leaving the store, and again when she runs into her at a crosswalk after thinking about going to see her. While not romantically involved as of chapter 7, Tech is an important part of Shine's motivation to be an idol.

Hakase has differently shaped speech bubbles than the other characters, being boxy rather than round. According to Word of God, this is because Hakase is speaking Japanese with an English voicebank. This can also be seen with Luka in the afterword of chapter 8 when she's speaking in English, along with her text being in a different font.

Played for Drama in chapter 7.2. Shine and Tech's conversation starts out pleasant, with Shine gushing to Tech about how much she loves her music, and Tech seeming happy to have run into Shine again. Until Shine says that Tech made her want to become an idol, which immediately makes Tech act much colder towards her. This rapidly leads to Tech launching into a full-on angry rant about how much she hates the idol industry and how foolish Shine is for wanting to be one, emotionally devastating her. The sudden shift in mood highlights how traumatized Tech is from her former career.

Identically Named Group: Vocaloids of the same model are all given the same name, and in cases of Vocaloids whose names match their models like Mikus they're referred to as a group by their names. The social system of giving each other codenames was created to be able to refer to each other more easily, though this is more common among androids who were in training with each other.

When Tech wakes up from her nightmare, her normally black eyes are pure white instead, representing her shock and contrasting with Shine’s Dull Eyes of Unhappiness in her dream.

Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: Shine is able to bypass a lot of the difficulty with getting to contact idols and idol agencies while pursuing her career from her friendship with retired idol Tech. This connection allows her a meeting with the idols at First Sound Entertainment, something pretty much impossible for the average person as Shine would know from being a paparazzi. Many characters praise Shine for being so resourceful.

Short Teens, Tall Adults: Characters around the age of 14 like Roll are usually shorter than characters in the age range of 16-18 like Shine and Gumiya to emphasize their difference in age.

Old Friend: Hasami, Shine’s roommate from when she was in idol training two years ago, ends up requesting a meeting with her in chapter 10 to get her on the O-Len show where she works as a correspondent. Shine is nervous about meeting up with her again because Shine and her friends used to hang out without her and goof off in contrast with Hasami’s perpetual seriousness, making her unsure if Hasami will actually be happy to see her.

Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!: Retired Idol Singer Tech, who is one of oldest Vocaloids currently in existence, believes that becoming an idol is an impractical fool’s errand that will only end with being torn apart by idol agencies and fans, a view informed by their own experiences in the industry. They desperately try to convince the younger and more naive Shine that it’s only her lack of knowledge about the industry that’s making her think that she should be one, refusing to support her dream. Unfortunately for Tech, her unfortunate choice of words just amplifies Shine’s insecurity and makes her gloss over Tech’s points about how awful the idol industry is.

Translation Convention: The story takes place in Japan, so all the characters are really speaking Japanese even though their dialogue is written in English. This is why characters will use Japanese honorifics like -chan and -san and use goroawase numbers for their codenames.

Switching P.O.V.: While most of the story is told from Shine's perspective, there are sometimes glimpses into other characters' points of view. At the end of chapter 4, there is a scene showing Tech thinking about her interaction with Shine and taking the sheet off her synthesizer. In chapter 5, there are some insights into Gumiya's thoughts both during his flashback to his first meeting with Shine and at the end of the chapter. This is used to show to the audience that he has a crush on her, since Shine is Oblivious to Love. Roll's thoughts are delved into in chapter 6, showing her evaluation of Shine and her hidden desire to see her succeed. The end of chapter 8 has a small section from O-Len's point of view where his boyfriend shows him the video of Shine that went viral, which makes him consider using it as material for his show. This reveals to the reader but not Shine that a path to fame has just opened up to her. Chapter 9 opens with Tech’s perspective of her conversation with Shine from chapter 7, allowing the reader to see the parts that Shine missed.

Suspiciously Specific Denial: In chapter 2, when Shine realizes she can't afford an idol magazine, she justifies her decision to not purchase it by going on a tangent about how she definitely doesn't want to be an idol or anything, she's just curious about them like all Mikus are! Her desire to be an idol is part of the premise.

Info Drop: The character profiles have miscellaneous information about the characters like their serial codes, likes, specialties, graduation dates, etc. Tech’s also has a bunch of sticky notes written by Shine with some theories about her retirement and rumors about her career, including Foreshadowing for her ghost writing songs for her idol agency. Hakase’s serial code is omitted from their character profile, but is briefly visible on the business card they give Shine. The scene in chapter 5 where Shine thinks about what makes other famous Mikus special has a few briefly visible previously unseen details about them, like 53’s serial code and codename being in a news article about her and some of the other top Mikus' codenames being on their social media profiles.

Creepy Long Fingers: In Null's idol photocard, she's surrounded by hands with long, thin fingers. Combined with the relatively desaturated colour palette and her spiral eyes it immediately conveys that her music style is darker and more horror adjacent than the average idol.

Fee Fi Faux Pas: When talking about how different Lucky was before he transitioned, Shine says that it's scary how idols can hide their feelings so well. Though she's making a general point about fans not being able to know what their idols are really like behind the scenes, she realizes after she says it that it sounds like she’s calling being trans deceptive right in front of her trans neighbour Gumiya.

Popularity Cycle: Even though Vocaloids can stay the same age forever, they still face the threat of being replaced if their idol agencies don't believe they're performing adequately. One of Shine's theories for Tech's retirement is that she was replaced by a newer model, and Tech herself believes that no matter how hard a Vocaloid works they’ll inevitably be discarded.

One-Steve Limit: Downplayed. Every Vocaloid of the same type has the same given name (so every Hatsune Miku android is given the name Miku, for example) but many have code names based off of their serial number to be able to tell each other apart. Within the story characters are interchangeably referred to with their codenames or given names depending on who’s speaking. There are also Vocaloids who have regular nicknames instead of code names (such as V2), and others who changed their given names (such as Gumiya).

Early-Bird Cameo: During the afterword of chapter 2, Gumiya and Roll are used as examples of how naming conventions work for Vocaloids before the two are fully introduced in chapter 4. Before Bright’s Day in the Limelight interlude chapter, her only appearances were on an album in Shine’s room and an idol photocard, neither of which gave her any dialogue. The idols that Shine meets at First Sound Entertainment in chapter 12 were previously seen in Dr. Yuki's signature collection, in merch on Shine's shelf, and in the idol photocard interlude before their speaking appearances.

Decomposite Character: Vocaloids in Real Life typically take on different images and sounds based on how their producer wishes to use them, but different takes on a Vocaloid are still viewed as being that Vocaloid. In the comic, the Vocaloids are instead split off into thousands of individual androids that embody different traits unique to them, some of which resembles common portrayals of that Vocaloid in the community.

However, because they spend a lot of time together during training, many of them see each other as siblings.

Acting Your Intellectual Age: Vocaloids' ages are generally based on their physical appearance (called "apparent age"), so young looking Vocaloids like Dr. Yuki or Roll may act older than their outward appearances suggest (Dr. Yuki is a licensed medical professional who avoids acting childish, and Roll is a celebrity informant mostly in contact with those several years older than her) but are still seen as children by others.

Titled After the Song
 NEXT!!! Sound of the Future (Webcomic) / int_fcdf597b
comment
Titled After the Song: Every chapter is titled after a different Vocaloid song. A playlist of each song used for a chapter title can be found here. Chapter 1 is titled after "The First Sound" by malo, which conveys that it's the first chapter both through the title and it being one of Hatsune Miku's first hit songs. Chapter 2 is titled after "White Letter" by GonGoss, another early Miku song for the chapter where Shine meets one of the first Miku units, Tech. Chapter 3 is titled after "Alkali Underachiever" by Kairiki Bear, a Miku song representing Shine's feelings of inferiority caused by her troubled past. Chapter 4 is titled after "Flight Girl" by NayutalieN, which conveys the lighter tone of the chapter where Shine is starting to commit herself to becoming an idol. Chapter 5 is titled after "I Want To Be Your Heart" by YurryCanon, the first song featuring Gumi for a chapter focused on Megpoid unit Gumiya. The lyrics of the song connect to Gumiya's desire to be there for Shine after she helped him in the past, with the lyrics about holding an umbrella for someone connecting to their first meeting. Chapter 6 is titled after "Roki" by Mikito-P, a song featuring Kagamine Rin for a Roll focused chapter. The upbeat lyrics match the chapter's relative lack of drama. Chapter 7 is titled after "Two-Faced Lovers" by Wowaka, a song featuring Miku for a chapter that ends with Miku units Shine and Tech meeting again and having a dispute over whether Shine should pursue her dream to be an idol. Chapter 8 is titled after "The Secret About That Girl" by Eve, representing how the chapter is thematically about celebrities hiding their true selves behind their public personas but still receiving admiration from their fans, and how Shine hides her singing bug and encounter with Tech from Roll and Gumiya.
