Hello, 39chan—nice to meet you. I’m Smith Hioka.
Thanks for having me for this live Q&A session today.
If you already know Akita Neru—a derivative “fanloid” character in the Hatsune Miku world—you may know me as her creator.
And if you’re thinking, “Akita Neru? Who’s that?” or “THE YELLOW ONE THAT DOESN’T APPEAR IN MESMERIZER,” this is a great chance to get to know her. You’ll likely pick up something new, so feel free to join in.
How this will work:
I’ll take questions in two blocks, Part 1 and Part 2, with a 1-hour break in between.
Please check the image for the schedule, and make sure you’re viewing the right time zone for where you live.
The Q&A will be in English. I’m not a native speaker, so I’ll answer via AI translation—thanks in advance for your patience with any odd phrasing.
Questions & basic rules:
As long as it doesn’t violate 39chan’s rules, most questions are welcome. I won’t be able to answer everything, and I appreciate your understanding.
To keep things moving, please limit to one question per post.
For questions that aren’t off-limits but need deeper thought, I may post a fuller answer later on my X (formerly Twitter) account. If I do, I’ll check with you first about sharing it.
