Hi Canon!

Hello!
I'll translate foreign languages at DeepL, but forgive me.

Hi Canon! What can you say about LINA? About her name and history, and how you imagine her design?

Canon, I have a question.
How were you chosen as Namine Ritsu's voice provider? Were you the first person they chose? Was there a poll?

Hello Canon! I assume the reason you haven't had Ritsu put into Synthisizer V is due to costs, but have you ever considered crowdfunding to do so? I imagine a lot of people would want her in it!

>>6149
Sorry, I don't know anything about that character.

Hello Canon!! Hope you have a good time here.

>>6150
I spontaneously joined the place we were producing at the time
There were only a few candidates, so it was a natural decision!

>>6151
Synthisizer V will not be possible with the help of Ritsu

>>6154
That's interesting. Our UTAU "Sena" was made similarly.

Hi Canon! This might be a bit of a silly question, but do you have any kinds of favorite beverages, like sodas or milkshake flavors? And would you like to see Ritsu drawn with any in particular?

>>6155
Eh? What does this mean?

>>6157
I like green tea and black tea.
I'm happy with anything you draw Ritsu!

>>6158
It means that Ritz will not be popular and well known enough.

What can you say about Ritsu's design? And how was the designing process, if you have some never before seen or rare prototype artworks you mind sharing them?

greetings, CANON.
my biggest question for you was if, when namine ritsu was created, you volunteered to give him a voice or did people searched for you, or you got told to give him a voice? and i would like to know how the VIP@2CH UTAU's (VIPPERloids) were created back then, in case you know about it.
have a nice day!

This cover of Saihate was one of my first favorite vocaloid songs. Thank you for your contributions to the fandom.
Was there a certain song/producer/video that introduced you to vocaloid?

I personally loved your cover of ERROR (the one with your real voice, rather than Ritsu's UTAU) I was wondering if you will ever make more covers, you have a beautiful singing voice.

>>6161
You can find it all here.

Good morning Canon

What is your favorite comedy video featuring Ritsu?
Which other vocal synthesizer character do you like to see Ritsu to be paired with?

>>6162
I participated myself.
It's a forum like this one (though not an image forum)

>>6163
I discovered Vocaloid so long ago that I no longer remember how it all started.

>>6164
haha thank you!!>>6164

What do you think of Sekka Yufu(雪歌ユフ) and Adachi Rei(足立レイ)?

>>6166
I can't remember right away
Tet, Luko, and Mico are still good!

Hello! I've been a fan of Ritsu and VIPPALOIDs since 2009
I've noticed that Ritsu has a lot of voicebanks (UTAU, Sinsy, VOICEVOX, etc). How did you contribute to so many projects?

Would you like to see more new songs with Ritsu like we've been seeing with recent Vocaloid such as KAFU, Adachi Rei, etc?

>>6170
adachi rei is an interesting character. I first got to know the character properly at Buisley Music Live.
Sekka Yuhu is a character I would like to know where the person inside went.

Hello, Canon! Who is your favorite Vocaloid (or UTAU) producer, if you have one?

>>6172
In many cases, the invitation came naturally.

>>6173
Of course.
It's pretty tough.>>6173

ClipboardI….png - 40.83 KB (774x717)

I didn't prepare anything in time for the thread, so have this drawing featuring Ritsu and Sena (39chan UTAU)

I just wanted to say thanks for making Ritsu :D

Canon, do you by chance know the other VIP@2ch VIPPERLOID voice providers? (Teto, Ruko, Miko, Tei, etc)

>>6175
I don't know much about modern producers, but I like everyone who uses Ritsu!

What video game you playing the most recently? And what's your favorite of all time?

>>6178
Thank you！！　CUTE！>>6178

>>6180
Some of us have interacted with them.

>>6182
I don't know about the best, but I recently played Persona 5 and enjoyed it.>>6182

Hi Canon, I've been an user on 39chan since it launched in September
I wanted to know if you were aware of LEEKALOIDs, they are UTAU made on /leek/ (this board). However, only one of them was made as a prank, the rest were mostly serious.

do you have a song you recently discovered and liked? (it can be non-vocaloid)
what genres do you like personally?

what is your favorite music genre?

>>6171
i like it

What is your favorite thing about Ritsu's design?

>>6189
Nice, I didn't know you could make Ritsu sing in English

Do you have any advice for voicebank creators? Especially those that are in collaboration with others.

>>6187
Hoshimachi Suisei
soiree

>>6188
JPOP in general
I like bright songs

>>6190
rainbow color

>>6193
There are so many, but it's hard to convey them here.
Let's record it in the nude.

Sorry for the short reply
It takes a long time to get between translations and typing Japanese for translation.

>Let's record it in the nude.
I would rather keep my clothes on if I make a voicebank

>>6197
>Let's record it in the nude.
Huh?

>>6199
There will be noises of clothes rubbing
I prefer to be completely naked

>>6197
>Let's record it in the nude.
I don't think that's what you meant to type, Canon

>>6198
That's fine

>>6201
you're so real for this

>>6201
Wait, you were naked when Ritsu was recorded? Is that what you're implying?

>>6197
Valuable advice. I appreciate it

>>6205
It's a secret.

>>6208
Let's wear only the upper body.

What is your favorite UTAU (aside from Ritsu), and would you have liked to voice them?

>>6211
I don't have a character I would like to voice, but my favorite is Teto

What car or other road vehicle does Namine Ritsu drive or ride in?

What is a thing about Ritsu that not many people know?

Have you browsed the /leek/ board before this Q&A?

>>6213
Tanks.

>>6214
Does such a thing exist?
I want to know it

>>6215
I first learned about it through this Q&A.
I saw the thread talking about this Q&A after I made the announcement.

ah, canon has seen us admitting that "we are all gay for ritsu"

>>6220
haha I didn't see it.

I'm not sure if you'll continue answering questions but thank you for being here Canon. Please visit us again some time!.

Is there any possibility of a new Ritsu UTAU voicebak?

THANK YOU CANON-SAN

Were you surprised by the popularity of Ritsu's Kire voicebank and cillia's ERROR cover?

Canon what are your thoughts on Sena Tsukuyomi, the 39chan LEEKALOID

>>6224
I don't think there is a good chance of creating a UTAU voice bank.
I have something I'm thinking of making, but it's a difficult task.
AI is the way to go for Namine Ritsu now.

If you were asked to be on Synthesizer V, like Teto, would you accept?

>>6226
Of course I was surprised.

>>6227
I don't know anything about that character, so please put up a reference U
RL. I'll look at it later.

>>6229
Of course
but it would be impossible

Like these?

>>6234
certainly

Any questions you have expected to be asked today but weren't?

>>6237
I wasn't thinking
I was mindless.

Are there any Ritsu derivatives you've liked? Such as the male version, Miko Ooka, etc

>>6239
I only know Miko, but I like Miko.

I'm a whole hour late, is Canon still here?

>>6241
Still there!

Any 3D artists who make artwork with Namine Ritsu that you particularly like?

>>6243
MMD?
I won't give you specific names, but there are a lot of people who like it!

AHHHH I'M LATE

Well, I think it's time to wrap this up.
Thank you very much for your questions.

Canon, I don't know if you'll see this but Ritsu was an important part of my childhood alongside many other UTAU such as Teto and Ruko. Thank you for being here tonight.

Thank you so much for visiting our community!

Hello canon! Are you interested on collaborating with Maiko Nagasaki?

>>6246
Thank you for being here Canon, Namine Ritsu is very important to me, and i am glad to have talked with it's creator.

>>6246
Thank you Canon!

That's all for today. I wanna thank Canon for being here tonight with us, and I want to thank (You) anons for being here as well. Since the Q&A went well, chances are we'll probably have others like this in the future. So stick around.
