DAY TWO:
did you know that back in 2018 we were supposed to get a trilingual VOCALOID named zing? this character originally came from a mobile rhythm game called zion. she was originally announced in 2017, but we didn't got much from her after it. she would have been capable of singing in mandarin, japanese and english.
this cancelled voicebank is known for having a fake demo song sung poorly by an anonymous person, which lead to people thinking she was a hoax. and to make it even crazier, the last post on her character twitter account was an april fool's joke saying she would have an AV debut soon.
as of today, zion's game server provider got bankrupt in 2020, which caused the game to close its doors. it is very unlikely there's a chance about releasing zing as a vocaloid/vsynth to this day

known UTAUloid ryone yami was initially based on the obscure 4chan meme "ecstasy A.K.A. darks", their previous name was also known as zetsuchoukan yami. you could say their initial concept was a yaoified meme. people don't do any yaoificated memes for UTAUloids nowadays

considering she would be conceptualized by the same project as erusalem, it seems she would be related to her. erusalem was one of the latest VIPPERloids that were released, and she would be one made for the act of raising awareness to conflicts in the middle east.

I'm talking about her because, well, before being an UTAU, she was an ukagaka desktop program. an ukagaka is a virtual mascot that talks to you and also can serve as a calendar and do other tasks! the known desktop program FLELE (that one desktop mascot that could play music using a miku skin) is also based on ukagaka. this is an example of an OC turning into a VB!

As much as the samples are words rather than individual sounds/phonetics, the difference really was just the recording method. As long as you’re able to get all the necessary sounds need it, you can still chop it up and configure it.
It’s a little more common to see this with English banks since the sounds necessary for Japanese are much simpler.

No.15910
>>15883I wouldn’t say never. I do see them eventually creating a new bank but under 2 conditions; to add something fresh to the current cast of characters that isn’t just a new design and after all of the current cast at the very least has been released on NT.
Even so with those conditions in mind there’s still others to kind of think about. I don’t think project if would ever come back for example and CV04, assuming the likely case it was voiced by Yuki Kaji previously, if worked on again would need to restart from scratch. Essentially these projects if they came back would not have the same identity to put it short.
So not impossible but I don’t think we’ll see anything new-new for at least a good few years.
