Leave it to Yamaha to just drop a Vocaloid into existence without a lead-up. It's like late V3 again.

Anyways, Mirai looks adorable. Interesting that Bandai Namco developed a Vocaloid though.

oh lookie it's AnoKano's older sister! I kinda love her lol

I really hope she gets a box bc I love her and need her now

side note: it took way too long for us to get another fully orange Vocaloid

This.


And she cool

Her description on the English Vocaloid page interests me... "to showcase game development technology to the Vocaloid voicebank." Bandai's up to something it appears...

Oh, thanks! It's "GB" on the English site for some reason.

@Robyn Is A Ninja It doesn't look like she's going to get a physical copy. If they put enough time to say she doesn't have a physical edition on her Vocaloid shop page, I tend to doubt they're going to change that. I hope so too though; boxes are fun.

@Eviltreat16 Some people on Twitter are talking about how she was incorporated into real time videogames some time ago, but we didn't know it was her at the time (if I'm understanding things correctly). I'm curious if she'll be included with Vocaloid x Unity, or if they're gonna try and make another thing that's basically Vocaloid x Unity 2.0, or something entirely different.

Ooooh now I am super interested. It's hard to say. As far as I know, Bandai uses Unreal Engine. But, just a collab between them and Unity would be amazing. I know for one of the projects I'm working on we were considering commissioning for a Vocaloid-sung theme, and I would totally try to invest into UnityXVocaloid if there were more voicebanks. (Not a fan of Unity-Chan tbh)

I personally love Unity-chan and would love to see a little jolt for her and Vocaloid x Unity. I remember AHS was gonna add Yukari into it until it didn't do well.
It's the only Vocaloid tie-in with videogames we have at the moment, so that's my best guess.

Yeah, if they reboot it with Bandai Namco, that'll be a great move on Yamaha's part. They're a recognized company for nice games, even if they don't use Unity.

Also, if you buy her she comes with art from Hiroshi Ono apparently?? I don't know if that's her original artist but, he's pretty famous. He's also known as Mr. Dotman. With Yamaha dropping her like this, it's either a bad marketing plan OR a lead-up to something.

TRAIN GUY CAME THROUGH. Mirai has this powerful, nasal voice kinda like Meiko Sakine?? but not as high pitched.


EDIT: Here's her official website: BANDAI NAMCO Studios Inc. ミライ小町

Google translate says her art was handled by Bandai's Visual Team. They also have Character guidelines for her which according to Google Translate, are pretty similar to Piapro's/Crypton Future Media, and that you can't use her official imagery for non-commercial purposes.

I feel like Unity could still be involved, but then again, that's a 3-way collaboration between companies, which seems rare

Well, I love her art design, but I wish I can get this, "She sounds too much like Rin and someone else that i can't remember who exactly" out of my mind now.

 

[Heruru Meruru]

She just came out of nowhere.

Her design is cute and it's interesting to see Bandai-Namco making a Vocaloid, but her voice... really isn't very distinct.

 

[lil_eggo]

i'm not a huge fan of her voice unfortunately :( i can't get past the way she pronounces some vowels and i don't like the way she sounds on her higher notes v much. her design seems kind of plain but also p cute. idk, i feel like she'll be forgotten.

 

[RawBeansP]

I quite like her voice, my only issue with it is that there seems to be some kinda grainy Cul or Nemu-like quality to her in all the few samples we've seen of her and idk if it's bc those particular samples have been using her out of range or if that's legit just her quality. She also doesn't seem capable of XSY which in V4 is kinda not a good thing esp if the only bank you have is mid quality at best

despite her flaws I think she's really cute! I like her voice, grain and all. obviously she sold me on her design-- I'm a huge fan of orange. and even though she's not at all connected to them I still really like that she reminds me of AnoKano both in voice and design. Tbh I think that despite V3's over saturated-ness she would've fared well in V3 imo

also her name is quite interesting, as her last name (Mirai) is spelled in katakana. it's a bit confusing but I'm pretty sure her given name is Komachi

You can headcanon them as friends. (^_^)/ I'm almost tempted to make a drawing of them together, but I can't really draw groups....
