I’ve gotta admit, after the disaster that was her Rei design, I adore this design. It’s casual but classy, a nice return to form while also being something new. Props!
Yukari finally escaped her Karen AI era...
...what the hell was that CeVIO design.

I don't think we've heard her before the stream have we? I don't think anyone was expecting her to sound significantly different but for those curious:
Yukari's new talk append/design reveal ( have we heard the voice before? Don't think so but dunno ).
They use her some more later in the stream, I must say...this is quite the unfortunate timing for reveal like this kjhygtfd

The design is really cute... but yeah a bit unfortunate timing sdofjisdoifj
In general though I'd like to trust AI Inc and Vocalomakets since despite the fanbase for these characters, the companies have never officially done anything weird with them themselves and are generally detached from what the community does (as opposed to companies that are... too involved, to say the least). I'm fine with baby Yukari existing, though I don't have any reason or need to use her myself (just sounds like low gen'd Yukari). She is cute, though.
If I had to point out anything I wasn't a huge fan of, it's that this design doesn't really... scream Yukari to me? Like if I just saw this random child on the internet, I'd never link her to Yukari. But as she's just an incentive for people to buy her A.I.VOICE if they already own her VOICEROID products, it's not a huge deal.

AI Inc said they will be releasing a singing software in December, so I assume they would not use Synth V.
I am really fond of Akari, i know this had been known about for a bit but I am happy they're doing more with her~ can't wait to see my girl's new design 
any idea whether she'll receive new append like Yukari did?
Also I know it's most likely been there the whole time and I never paid too close of an attention to it but "she illuminates you all with her voice" sounds so ominous jhygthyg

I think she will! They didn't announce Yukari Shizuku until an A.I.VOICE livestream, so I think Akari will go through something similar.
Speaking of, though - I didn't actually click on the article until now, but here's the full silhouette of Akari's A.I.VOICE design for easier viewing:
There also will be an A.I.VOICE livestream next Friday where Akari will be shown off, including samples and the full reveal of her design. A new character will also be announced!

I edited the artwork to make the silhouette less strange. I think that it's probably another Announcement Club member because the way the top of the head is drawn looks like the current girls in the line up.
If it's not that, then it may be the English or Chinese voice bank since December is getting closer.
Edit: The Announcement Club members are all DNN compatible anime-styled versions of what they currently offer, so that's why I say this.

That's been on the site for years, it's exactly the same as Maki's VOICEROID except it has emotional parameters (which is why a lot of people thought that Maki and Kou would get VOICEROID2 updates - both of their demos (Kou is '"Taichi" on there) on the sites have emotions). Why it never happened nobody can say, but I don't think anything will happen to it.
edit: stream's over I can actually link direct timestamps now
second edit: actually nevermind they made the stream private?? Umm I'll keep the timestamped links in just in case it comes back but bruh
edit 3: they acknowledged it, it'll be back later (not sure if it'll be the same link or not)
edit 4: It's back! all timestamps should be intact and I'm going to keep these edit logs in this post just because I can
Akari's full design has been revealed! They also demonstrated her during today's stream, and she has emotional parameters now (happy, sad, angry)!!! (Her Voiceroid2 doesn't have any, for comparison - so this is an actual update to Akari's Voiceroid compared to Yukari where only Shizuku was the new thing) Click for timestamp
Also, the new A.I.VOICE character has been revealed, and she is... actually the character voiced by Tamiyasu Tomoe, Tsurumaki Maki's original VP! (Very short demo where she just says her name and her estimated release of early 2022 plays about an hour and a half into the stream, and she sounds pretty much exactly like old Maki, so... this'll be interesting to see play out)
The character name is Unoka.

Whoaaa Tomoe bodyshifted into a very cool looking new host! 
Both her and Akari look like they walked out of a trendy Harajaku instagram, kudos to the designer. Although neither cater to my personal tastes, both outfits feel well thought out and unique.

loving the vibrant colors!! i dont have much interest in talk voices but i have found myself to be much more fond of recent designs for these characters.akari looks adorable too
Akari in hat and with glasses!!! Akari in hat and with glasses!!! She's adorable!!
I wish she wore it in the official-official art, I was neutral about it but this just...completes the look!! I love her!! So happy she's getting emotional parameters!! I and my friend are working on a project where we might need some japanese TTS so this may be a good excuse to get myself this vb
Honestly I still feel conflicted about the situation regarding Tomoe Tamiyasu but it's good she's getting more opportunities so let's just let it play out
for now all I can say that both Akari and Unoka are fashion queens.
