The Tohoku family was created in response to the 2011 Japan earthquake, so technically a lot of those characters would have never existed without that tragedy, including Zundamon.

Vocaloid also came out 3 years after 9/11 and America doesn't have a moe culture so that would've been impossible kek

Related to this: the 2011 earthquake and tsunami are one of the reasons we didn’t get Ring Suzune. Her entire dev cycle was cursed I swear.

>>9026
Did the developers live in the Tohoku region?

>>9026
So we lost Ring but we got Zundamon. Life really is unpredictable.

>>9028
The office was based there. For the record this was the company before she was handed over to VocaNext. VocaNext simply went bankrupt before they could even finish development and start the contest to find Hibiki Lui’s VP.

Myspace was *the* indie music scene on the web when it was big. It might seem to strange to you looking back on it, but you might feel the same way in a far flung future about someone saying it was weird that Miku had a Twitter profile where she shitposted.

>>9125
I already feel that way about some of the existing ones

Social media marketing back then was a lot less in-your-face and more charming. I'll take some random guy at Zero-G LARPing as a British pop idol (Sonika Twitter) over someone just tweeting random stuff.

Remembered another oddball, iirc, one of the VocaTone devs revealed that this was a legitimate project a few years back. We still don’t have the full story on what happened to this bank or the company behind it.

i'll be using this thread so i can post an obscure fact every day, crazy or not!

ClipboardI….png - 152.46 KB (350x350)

>>10156
DAY ONE:
chii tomero (地位トメロ) was the first UTAUloid that was created outside of japan, and also the first american UTAUloid. legendmaker12, also known as gregory austin, created and voiced him, and nowadays he is the president of vocatone! he's actively working on the upcoming singing synthesizer maghni AI.

>>10157
I hope he ends up on Maghni AI somehow. If that ever comes out.

ClipboardI….png - 62.86 KB (600x800)

>>10157
oops, forgot to continue, but here we go

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

ClipboardI….png - 50.52 KB (736x1366)

>>10196
DAY THREE:

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

ClipboardI….png - 334.73 KB (724x1024)

>>10226
DAY FOUR: yokune ruko's (♀) VP, who is named kirika (hikachi yuu), made two UTAUloids after voicing ruko, these are mikura iri and iru. both characters have a COEIROINK voicebank too!

>>10196
Aquatrax did actually release another game that featured Zing too, I can’t remember the name tho. I believe servers closed for it as well tho. I think that was her singer too rather than a vb but I believe there was intent to make it real. These things just don’t always go as planned.

>>10259
i did notice they made another game later, but it still closed its doors. i wonder if the voice on the supposed demo was the voice of her VP singing but the bad recording of the audio makes it very unlikely

DAY FIVE: did you know that the 3DS game daigasso! band brothers app uses a lite version of the VOCALOID2 engine? in this game, you can also make your own vocaloid, and several vocaloids were released as DLC for this game!

>>10307

DAY SIX:
did you know that there is a fanloid that is a parody of the character vinegar doppio from jojo's bizarre adventure: vento aureo? this fanloid is called denne doppi (電音ドピ). they're a VOCALOID version of doppio.

ClipboardI….png - 56.26 KB (480x646)

>>10338
turning existing characters into a vocaloid parody was common at the time. one example that inspired several derivative characters or parodies was kazune miku (和音ミク), a parody of kamichama karin's character kujou kazune. this parody was created by the author of the manga herself, koge donbo.

Flood of memories I didn't know I had

https://youtube.com/watch?v=cqj6B7crEOA

There's a collection of albums under the name MUSIC✕STUDY PROJECT published by Gakken Plus which is basically a bunch of songs for Japanese students to listen and study to. Each album has its own theme, may it be Japanese history, world history, science, etc. All the songs are genuinely masterpieces and I implore anons to listen to them. ボカロで覚える高校世界史 is the best album of them all in my opinion. Attached in the embed is a song about the French Revolution, and it's one of my favorite Vocaloid songs ever. It's a fun project and I hope one day Gakken decides to make more. https://vocadb.net/Ar/48833

>>10366
Am i crazy or this was posted three times just recently

>>10367
It was. I forgot the vocadb link when I first posted it so I deleted the first one but I guess the website didn't like that

https://youtube.com/watch?v=6PxNKIckAas

>>10366
Oh shit someone else knows about this! There's a song by とあ that's just about the post-Napoleonic period up to the First World War. As a massive fan of とあ and a history buff, it was surprisingly enjoyable. (plus there's this song

https://youtube.com/watch?v=TMUwzEzTdYk [Embed]

for Japanese students studying English which is really cute)

Also, there's a song by ELECTROCUTICA that covers the European culture through the classical period to the Renaissance which still has that classic ELECTROCUTICA feel to it.

The entirety of that project is just amazing.

So, Japanese TORIKO

>>10416

>Sena is our Kasane Teto
As important as she is to /leek/ culture I don't know if I'd go as far as to call her "our Kasane Teto". She's the first UTAU made by /leek/ but she wasn't really made with a purpose in mind like TORIKO who was made to bait SV users. I'd say TORIKO would be a better contender for that title. Shame she's the one Leekaloid who got fucked over the most out of all of them.

as for their exclusive UTAUloids, these were voiced by famous japanese voice actors and celebrities, and some known utaite too.

these magazine issues would be distributed around april 2011 to may 2013.

due to her creation status being similar as neru, some users consider her a "boukaloid" (fire proof-loid).

DAY TWENTY ONE: did you know that there was a concept for a sachiko VIPPERloid before sachiko's vocaloid release? her name was ryoko sakurane (桜音リョウコ), and she would be described as "autotuned/pitched up sachiko". this predates sachiko's vocaloid VB, since ryoko would be conceptualized in 2013. her backstory implies her being from a poor country from the middle east, where conflicts are constant. she met a japanese volunteer soldier, fell in love with him, but he died. sakurane died, but now she sings for fallen soldiers.

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.

DAY FORTY: did you know there's a lot of voice synthesizers that share VP? for example, no. 7 from the voice synth neutrino (picrel) shares VP with the meikas from vocaloid. macne coco black and white share the same VP with haruno sora from both voiceroid, vocaloid and synthv, tsuina-chan from synthv and voiceroid shares VP with the WINDOWS100% UTAUloid maita, and so on. there's a lot going on! i'll make a list with all of the VPs i can think of.

>meika hime and mikoto (VOCALOID, gynoid talk) → no.7 (NEUTRINO)
>macne coco black and white (macne series) → haruno sora (VOCALOID, synth v, voiceroid)
>tsuina-chan (synth v, voiceroid, VOCALOID) → MAITA (WINDOWS100% UTAU)
>muxin (synth v) → nekoki minata (UTAU), nekoki kurita (UTAU)
>DAINA (VOCALOID) → namida (UTAU)
>DEX (VOCALOID) → kenji baionoto/blake howell (UTAU)
>RUBY (VOCALOID) → makune hachi (UTAU)
>lian hua (sharpkey, deepvocal) → dong fang zhi zhi blossom (UTAU)

RUMOURED:

>>11171
Had I known about this before I would've asked Canon about Lina when the Q&A happened

https://youtube.com/watch?v=9MqLt9ogAog

>>11172
lina's a really nice vocal, would have been interesting to know how CANON was reached for aquestone2

>AquesTone
Is this at all related to AquesTalk, the software Defoko's voice originally came from

>>11174
it is, aquest also made vocalizer, the VST plugin that was used for adachi rei

>>11171
I wouldn’t say the Anri one is exactly a rumour. AO just loves trying to cover up the past as much as possible, they do a horrible job at it though.

DAY FORTY THREE: did you know that one of the .vsqx files included in IA ROCKS lists the names "Lia_beta(IAPw)"? this seems like a possible codename for IA's VB in general, since IA's voice provider's name is lia, and considering ROCKS is a power-like voicebank, the name "IA power" seems fitting. even more peculiar, a demo of her voice before her release was listed as "IAα Type C" back in the day.

>>11415
DAY FORTY NINE: did you know about sorane mako? she was revealed the same day as tero, on april 1st, 2008. she had the same intentions as teto: being a fake vocaloid that would trick people into believing she's real. however, due to her debut being at the same day as teto's, she fell into obscurity. she's not a VIPPERloid, though people categorize her with them. she received an official UTAU voicebank in 2023 (under another VP), funny enough, teto got her synthv VB in the same year!

Seeing Crypton release their last Vocaloid must've been crazy. I sadly didn't get into Vocaloid until about two years later after Luka had come out.

>game_master cover (what remained of the original song): https://soundcloud.com/zeruda-chan/teto-eng-game_master-preview

the spanish loids in general are unpopular. maika is the only one people care about for some reason.

>>12498
Maika is popular among 2012-era fans who were keeping up with each VB release at the time. Maybe there’s less demand for spanish loids since JP loids are decent at spanish.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=YMQhXj3a_No

>>12499
Spanish here. Can confirm that the Japanese voicebanks are very good at Spanish due to the phonetic similarity.

MAIKA was popular with the brazilians as well due to the extra phonemes

>>12462
I personally like to say these two were semi-private since there was a way for the public to get them but it wasn’t well known plus was pretty restricted to Chinese speakers

DAY EIGHTY THREE: did you know shuune niku (終音ニク) was the first fanloid that fell on the "humanloid" category? her phenomenon would lead to the creation of other humanloid fanloids, like tonarine sai and komorine remu. she's also one of the earliest fanloid creations, being even older than akita neru and yowane haku! (niku debuted in october 2007, while neru and haku debuted in november 2007.)

DAY EIGHTY NINE: did you know about the UTAUloid ÑAL? they're an UTAU encoded in IPA (international phonetic alphabet) that can serve as a multilingual voicebank, mainly handling japanese, english and spanish. this VB was released in 2009, making them one of the most complex early voicebanks!

DAY NINETY THREE: did you know about DANCE x MIXER? this program, launched in 2009, allowed you to create characters and make them dance with pre-designed choreography. it was used as an alternative to MMD, or even before MMD. although it does not have much to do with vocaloid itself, it had two official DLCs that could let you use hatsune miku and gumi.

as an extra, the game's mascot was designed by akio watanabe, and it actually resembles tone rion! i wonder if he took inspiration from her to design rion.

>>13976
Not much of a secret but i didnt know she also did lucia

why were luan and lucia cancelled again

>>13979
iirc voctro didn't think they would be profitable so they couldn't get licensed

>>13982
Considering what happened to the other spanish vocaloid i cant blame them

Are we sure it was Voctro? I remember Giuseppe making them and having a bit of a meltdown after people were making complaints about them.

It's kinda wild how every Spanish vocaloid is discontinued now

DAY NINETY FIVE: did you know about the term "miku formula"? this term was coined in the first vocaloid china character creation contest (now known as vsinger), and was used to refer to elements commonly found in female designs based on hatsune miku, specifically elements such as thigh-high boots, sleeveless shirts, and miniskirts, whether used together or separately. this criticism of designs that were influenced by miku sparked interest during the vocaloid china contest, and also made its way on a small part of the community in the west. do you think the miku formula is good or bad? i think it's okay, personally!

>>14147
Certainly worked for Teto

>>14147
Did not work for CeVIO IA

>>14176
And most fanloids that aren't Haku or Neru

>>14029
He should draw the green one

>>13976
Daina is one of those vocaloids that I completely forget exists sometimes. Even back when she released I don't remember anyone talking about her.

I have not found evidence of CV04 being canceled, just that there has been no updates for over a decade, making it longer than the Berserk boat arc.

CV04 is dead enough that the VA gave up and crowdfunded a voicebank himself

cv04 is never coming out you guys

>>14215
While the cancellation is assumed, there is a handful of supporting evidence suggesting a quiet cancellation. Not only the fact that Soyogi Soyogi now exists and was created and voiced by the presumed VP of CV04, but that wat had actually previously listed CV04 in his twitter bio and removed it sometime late 2010s-early 2020s.

Do people actually believe Crypton will ever release a new voicebank that isn't a new version of an existing Cryptonloid?

>>14218
CV04 shot dead in the Bronx

DAY NINETY SIX: did you know there is a rumour about yohioloid's japanese voicebank having recycled recordings from his english VB? can't tell if it's a myth or it's the truth, but a notable fact about yohioloid is that his voice doesn't change too much tone-wise on his japanese voicebank in comparison to other JP+ENG vocals.

Yohio is a dick so it wouldnt surprise me

>>14247
Honestly this wouldn’t surprise me considering Oliver’s triphones were sliced recordings. PFX didn’t typically do additional recording sessions for VocaTone tmk so if they reused samples for missing sounds it makes sense.

Even VY2 has some English words in his samples for specific sound references.

DAY NINETY EIGHT: did you know miku has a beta V2 english voicebank? you can hear her voice here! the video title is incorrect though; this isn't miku V3 english, this is her V2 english VB.

>>14546
Oh hey that's the Keizoku intro

>>14546
I hope the V6 they're about to release improves her English because the current Miku English voicebank sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me. This unreleased V2 sounds ... surprisingly good though.

>>14546
The video actually used to just say "Miku English" early on. It was changed to say "Vocaloid 3" after the subsequent release and reveal.

I wouldn't say it's necessarily incorrect as everything from the V2 beta was moved to her V3 bank, but ya, the uploader changed the video title early on.

I remember seeing this video all those years ago and being excited. Miku V3 English still remains my favourite of her 2 English banks. Her darker tone is just so lovely. I would have loved to have played around with the V2 beta if it was ever made public back then.

he is described as a young man with a short height (165cm) that likes somen noodles. his special feature are his glasses. he also dislikes him being short and proclaims he is at least 170cm tall.

>>14658
I don't know how old you are but i can assure you that you're probably not the oldest one here

>>14398
>Even VY2 has some English words in his samples for specific sound references.
Are those public? How do you know this?

>>14795
nta, can't confirm but that rings a bell. pretty sure it's been possible to decompile vocaloids for years now, even pre-devkit.

>>14853
I wouldn’t say decompile as much as extract the samples from the ddb. But I’m not fully in the know there. Regardless there’s been 2 or 3 methods to view the samples within the V2-V5 banks for years.

>>14853
>>14855
Can confirm that you can do this

DAY ONE HUNDRED: we have reached day one hundred, congrats!!!
speaking of extracted samples, did you know MAYU's samples were word-based? while most vocaloids have samples similar to those of an UTAU CVVC reclist (although thinly spliced), MAYU's samples were based in words and phrases, such as "ohayo", for example.

>>14880
It's not the kamikaze it's a random japanese man screaming. They use that sound for the voicebank's growl function.

>>14885
She would need to have a crazy amount of samples for this to work, no?
Good job on one hundred!!

DAY ONE HUNDRED ONE: did you know about morinomiya-sensei? she might be one of the earliest MV characters. she's an original character created by kuchibashiP (tetsuo), and she's mainly know for the song morinomiya's healing house☆. at one point, morinomiya-sensei was considered a fanloid by some, or even a friend character to vocaloid and UTAU characters.

>>14933
She’s average JP bank size. So under a gig. Chinese and English banks I’m pretty sure are the biggest.

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.
