So... low-pitched Rin or high-pitched Miku for Neru?
>>
Low pitch Kafu
>>
Used to prefer low-pitch Rin, but can't imagine her as anything other than high-pitched Miku now since the only new neru exposure I got for years was OwataP.
>>
I think low pitched Rin suits her more than high pitched Miku considering she's grumpy and a bit of a hothead
>>

Low pitched Rin. I know that Gocha Gocha Urusee and more recently Zako use High pitched Miku but Neru is the grumpy type, I can't imagine her with a high voice.

Always wondered why Neru was high pitch Miku instead of low pitch like Haku
>>
Low pitch Rin fits her design but i guess high pitch Miku is the one people are most familiar with due to all the songs
>>
I have been wondering a while now what Neru would sound like if it was a midpoint of both like how Rei's voicebank was made.

I am not sure since it sounds like some kind of mixing technique.

Given that I dislike Mesmerizer, I'm surprised that if this version came on, I wouldn't turn it off. Maybe it doesn't count as vocal-synth, but cellphone beeps as Neru's "voice" always felt right to me. I wonder if the beeps could be integrated in a way that she could sing while still sounding like a phone, perhaps by recording a voice coming out of a phone speaker while mixing in some dial tones.

I had always wished that she got a voice of her own. She could have been the first Adachi Rei but with dial tones. Perhaps being a pitchloid makes more sense to keep the connection with Miku clearer though. Smith Hioka-san if you ever see this please respond if you had considered this before.
>>
>>17597
Not him, but i think the reason there's no Neru voicebank is because you already have multiple options: there's high pitched Miku, low pitched Rin, fanmade voicebanks like NEO, etc

>>17597
This might not be the answer you were hoping for, but until very recently, I felt that I didn't have the authority to decide anything regarding Akita Neru's voice.

To begin with, even though her outfit is based on Hatsune Miku, I didn't intend to create a "Vocaloid" (vocal synth) character at the time. I considered her to be more of a "gijinka" (personification) character.

Later, when people started using pitch manipulation to give her a voice, I decided it was best to leave that to the creators' imagination, so I avoided commenting on it myself.
Above all, as the person who drew her, I honestly didn't have a concrete image of what her voice should sound like.
So, for me, whether it was a "pitchloid" voice or the dial tones heard in "Triple Baka," I saw them both as valid ways to express Neru. I didn't see one as superior to the other.

I am, of course, conscious of her connection to Miku, but I never felt her voice had to be based on Miku's. This is because Akita Neru is treated strictly as a visual work (in legal terms, an "artistic work").

Sorry for the long reply, but to answer your question about whether I had considered a mechanical voice concept: the answer is that I never actually had a plan to make her into a singing software in the first place.

NEO is the closest thing we'll probably get to a Neru voicebank. It's not official, but as far as I know it seems to have Hioka's blessing.

I think this voice fits her.

If someone made a voicebank it wouldnt stop anyone from still doing things as always so the variety will always be there. I could see Neru winding up with many competing voicebanks and pitchings used.

Of course, I’m proud of her.

At the same time, I try to be careful not to let that go to my head, or to think of it as something I accomplished on my own.

The fact that so many people have come to know her is thanks to CFM, who agreed to such a generous arrangement, the creators who continue to make fan works, and the many Neru fans who have supported her.

As for me, I think I was simply blessed with a level of good fortune far beyond what I deserve.

I'm not a huge fan of NEO tbh. The voice sounds good, but it doesn't feel like Neru to me...
>>
>>25902
Neru doesn't have a canon voice so her voice is whatever you want it to be. Some like NEO's voice, others don't. Personally, I'm a low pitch Rin guy but at the end of the day it doesn't really matter.
>>
>>25902
She sounds very latina but i don't have a problem with it
>>
>>25909
her voice provider is mexican i'm pretty sure
>>
>>25906
This is why I thought it would be amusing to find a way to blend all the voicebanks associated most with Neru to make a sort of generic Neru that most agree sounds like Neru. If that makes sense.
>>
>>25914
The original NEO 1.0 voicebank was a mix of Rin and Flower that was generated with RVC AI. But now that makes me wonder what that would sound like if you did it with literally every Vocaloid ever release.

I'm curious if there have been any attempts at creating a definitive Neru voicebank before NEO.
>>
>>27593
Not that i'm aware of. Hioka has said this many times, but Neru was never meant to have a voice in the first place, she was intended as a gijinka/personification of the Miku censorship drama from back in the day. So he's never given her a "canon voice".

I'd say NEO is the first attempt at giving her an actual voice but even with Smith Hioka's approval it's still a non canon voice and fanmade on top of that.
>>
>>25919
ok yeah i can se why people say she looks like cyber diva

>>29593
That’s right!🧔‍♂️
Even if I had been 17 back then, the same age as Neru, I would be 35 now. So either way, I’d still end up being an Ojisan...🥲

And if I had been a teenager when I drew Neru, I’m sure I would have managed to ruin all kinds of things
Looking back on those days, I can say that with confidence 😭

I was still immature at 22, but I had at least gained some sense of judgment.
There were also negotiations that were only possible because I was already an adult.
So in the end, I guess it all worked out.

As far as I could tell from the information available, I did not find anything about Neru appearing in Starry Party.
At most, I only saw some speculation that derivative characters might appear.

Regarding the use of Neru in commercial projects, there is an agreement that approval from both CFM and myself is required.

So unfortunately, in practice, it is not really possible for there to be a “surprise” situation where I only find out at the same time as the public announcement.

Yeah, earlier in the thread people were speculating about potential DLC characters with Neru being one of them due to her inclusion in the Diva series (and Gumi because she's in Mirai)
I'm guessing that if Neru were to be in the game you wouldn't know until she was announced then? Interesting how that works

>>29854
If Neru were to appear in a game, I would know about it long before the official announcement.
Naturally, that is because for such a project to move forward officially, both CFM and I would need to agree to grant the license.

So for several months, or even more than a year, I would have to shut the curtains in my room, live in fear that someone might be listening in, suffer from nightmares every night, and spend my days in lonely silence...

Well, that part is a joke, but I would absolutely never leak anything to the outside.

If I truly had no idea that Neru was going to appear until it was announced to the public, that would be a “surprise” for me in a rather bad sense.
Basically, I do not reject offers that have cleared CFM’s standards, but even so, we would still need to confirm and discuss it as a procedural issue.

That said, even if something like that were to happen, I do not think it would turn into a public accusation or dispute. And very fortunately, no such trouble has ever happened so far.

>>30116
As far as I know, one of the oldest Vocaloid producers was Masa-P. He was born in 1933—93 years ago.

To put 1933 into perspective, Adolf Hitler’s cabinet was formed in Germany at the end of January, Franklin D. Roosevelt was inaugurated as the 32nd president of the United States, and the original King Kong was released that same year.

He uploaded his first song, “Hana wa Kazarenai,” to Nico Nico Douga in 2012, when he was 79 years old.

He was a professional composer who had been active since the 1960s under the name Masao Saiki. His song “Nagasaki wa Kyō mo Ame Datta,” released in 1969, remains extremely well known among generations who remember that era.

You can listen to the song here:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=EKQfa2MpvOc [Embed]


Sadly, he passed away in 2022, but the wonderful Vocaloid songs he left behind can still be heard today. You can listen to several of them in this YouTube playlist:

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_m1i8lAEXNQDJ1Bmd8SRAaHBQDge2ETQwI

I recommend listening through all of them, but my personal favorites are “Yofuke no Lullaby,” “Kanashimi no Córdoba,” “Hana no Nai Heya,” and “Koi wa 1970.”
>>
>>30279
I knew that Vocaloid was popular with the newer generations but I never expected it to resonate with any generation before the Millennials.

Maybe perception is different in Japan but over here it's one of those things that adults (over the age of 40, usually) struggle comprehending or they completely dismiss it as "fake music".
>>
>>30279
I was aware of him (unfortunately discovered him through the "deceased" page on VocaDB, as morbid as that may sound) but i wasn't aware that he was in his 80's when he passed.
>>
>>30279
Interesting. Thank you for the recommendation Hioka-san, I'll listen to it.
>>
>>30279
Listening to these is making me start to realize just how few Vocaloid originals I've heard in this kind of genre outside of covers. It's cool hearing something that sounds so authentically 'oldschool' while featuring Miku.
>>
>>30279
This is really good. RIP.
>>
>>30355
There's a lot of unique sounding Vocaloid stuff that never seems to leave the depths of NicoNico or even YouTube. I wish there was a proper way to discover small producers aside from VocaDB and events like Vocacolle/Vocagathering.

I never knew there was official art outside of his DeviantArt. It's unbelievably cool, he has a really unique style. I'll go ahead and believe that Neru really does own a pug now.

Well Gelbooru just collects art people found on other sites so it makes sense for it to have much of his older work. Personally i'm pleased with how much Nero art there is.
>>
>>31787
I wonder if his 2channel artwork was ever archived. 4chan has its own archive sites run by users but Japan has different views regarding media preservation so i wonder if anything like that even exists.

Why have these been so many ungodly cute officially licensed Neru plushies lately? My bank account can't take it.

what
>>
>>33359
There's a video about it. For whatever reason you are not allowed to discuss this or any variant of this voicebank on Reddit, even after the original RVC one got replaced with an actual voice actress.
>>
>>33360
meh i don't use that site anyway
>>
>>33316
I'm excited for the design reveal personally. It looks like they're going for a gyaru kind of thing and oddly enough I feel like its a fashion style that would fit Neru.
>>
>>32427
If i had to guess the Triple Baka resurgence introduced new fans to her so now there's demand for more Neru content including merch. Unfortunately, us Sakine Meiko fans will have to starve for a couple more years.
>>
>>33367
Sakine was always unpopular unfortunately

happy birthday to hioka, if he's still around

Low pitched Rin. Miku is already very high pitched.

I've been in this fandom for a long time and yet this is the first time I heard Hioka shares the same birthday as Miku. I need to do better.

Happy late birthday Hioka ojisan... I hope I'll make it to 41 too. Life's been rough.

I don’t really talk about it that much, so it’s totally understandable that you didn’t know.

Part of me wonders where some Vocaloids would live if they had an established canon location. The Tohoku family is... well... obviously from the Tohoku region. And even if never officially specified you can at least assume that the Crypton six are from Japan, though the specific region is never explicitly mentioned either.
Some of Hioka's old fanart has got me wondering if Neru would live in the Tohoku region too.

i looked it up on google maps and wow its still there
>>
>>35871
Is there any context to Rion being there at a random bar in Akihabara?
>>
>>35871
that's dearstage, a live house. dempagumi.inc, the idol group where rion and nemu's voice provider used to be, originated from there
>>
>>35871
I hope they never take her down
>>
>>35871
Funny how they use the old artwork
>>
>>35896
It's Akio Watanabe. It fits right in Akihabara. The new artwork doesn't have the same level of moe as his illustrations.
>>
>>35855
I believe the Crypton 6 are supposed to be from Sapporo, Hokkaido, as that's where CFM is based.
>>
For Engloids: SONiKA is supposed to be from around Liverpool, England, according to an old interview or something. (I found this on her Japanese Wikipedia article which linked to a defunct website.) I believe Ruby is also canonically a New Yorker. Other than that I think it's mostly countries of origin (e.g. Oliver being from England and Avanna being from Ireland).
>>
>>35907
Ruby is from NYC?

Tonio and Prima are Italian if I'm not mistaken. And all the Voctros are from Spain.

what happened to that one neru diffsinger that was being made?
>>
>>36398
See >>34954

>>35855
In the early days, I did say that Neru was from the Tohoku region.

Part of the reason was simply that I lived in Tohoku myself and was familiar with the area. But more importantly, I was concerned that the name “Akita” might make people associate her too strongly with Akita Prefecture (Akita-ken), and that tying her to one specific prefecture could limit the possibilities for creative works.

That’s also why I avoided using the kanji for “Akita” (秋田) when I chose the characters for her name.

So these days, I think it’s perfectly fine to portray her as being from the Tohoku region, or from somewhere else entirely.

It really depends on what kind of work you want to create.
