Obligatory shilling for unar, I love that little fucker so much

  • Single command to handle uncompressing nearly all formats.
  • No obscure flags to remember, just unar <yourfile>
  • Makes sure output is always contained in a directory
  • Correctly handles weird japanese zip files with SHIFT-JIS filename encoding, even when standard unzip doesn't

What weird Japanese zip files are you handling?

[-] renzev@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Voicebanks for Utau (free (as in beer, iirc) clone of Vocaloid) are primarily distributed as SHIFT-JIS encoded zips. For example, try downloading Yufu Sekka's voicebank: http://sekkayufu.web.fc2.com/ . If I try to unzip the "full set" zip, it produces a folder called РсЙ╠ГЖГtТPУ╞Й╣ГtГЛГZГbГgБi111025Бj. But unar detects the encoding and properly extracts it as 雪歌ユフ単独音フルセット(111025). I'm sure there's some flag you can pass to unzip to specify the encoding, but I like having unar handle it for me automatically.

Ah, that's pretty cool. I'm not sure I know of that program. I do know a little vocaloid though, but I only really listen to 稲葉曇(Inabakumori).

[-] renzev@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I know inabakumori! Their music is so cool! When I first listened to rainy boots and lagtrain, it made me feel emotions I thought I had forgotten a long time ago... I wish my japanese was good enough to understand the lyrics without looking them up ._. I'm also a huge fan of Kikuo. His music is just something completely unique, not to mention his insane tuning. He makes Miku sing in ways I didn't think were possible lol

I get you, I want to learn more Japanese. I only understand a very small amount at this point. I don't have any Miku songs that I have really wanted to listen to, but that could change. I might check out Kikuo then. Also I love the animations Inabakumori release with their songs too. They have some new stuff that's really good if you haven't checked it out yet.
