It's too early for V6 - V5 isn't even three years old yet.

I kinda wanna be lazy and say all the Cryptonloids, but I think AI mostly benefits realistic/mature sounding VBs, so I'm gonna say Luka. Yes, I know Piapro NT doesn't support AI and Crypton hasn't talked about AI at all, but it was just an idea I had.

This is a great decision - any potential backers will feel a bit more secure at what they're supporting if they can see a demo. It's also a good sign that VocaTone is listening to the concerns of the vocal synth fandom.

I feel that Cantor fell off relatively quickly because the quality of its VBs were nowhere near as good as Vocaloid at the time. CeVIO stood out because the quality was an audible step up from UTAU (for contemporary comparison), despite the engine noise. Aside from some mentions that I agree...

I dunno, VBs like Flower, Fukase and Una are pretty popular among the current fandom. Perhaps not always in terms of songs, but certainly in fan content like art.

Crappy Google translation: "Thank you for your many applications for the recruitment of audio production jobs that we announced the other day. We apologize for the delay in replying due to the year-end and New Year holidays, but thank you for your cooperation." Has Crypton been looking for new...

I've noticed that even in the Spanish vocal synth fandom, they don't really use Bruno, Clara and Maika (I've heard some Latin Americans don't like the European accents the Voctroloids have?) and they tend to stick to Spanish UTAUs. We also all know what happened to SeeU for the Korean fandom...

Speaking as someone who heard a brief demo of Teto on V4 (courtesy of Crypton), I wouldn't support Teto on another engine if her voice would lose what makes her sound recognisably like Teto (much like how Miku is so iconic she sounds like Miku, if that makes any sense lol). If Crypton could pull...

Valid concerns about the project aside, is anyone else worried that VocaTone might be trying to break into a market that's starting to get a bit overcrowded? This is the first period of time I can ever recall Vocaloid actually having some proper competition in terms of quality. SynthV is already...

I agree that the amount of languages listed feels too ambitious for a new synth, but my lizard brain is still getting excited over the idea of German and Russian support (I've given up on Vocaloid adding more languages at this point).

I thought Internet Co. stopped caring about Vocaloid? I think they pretty much said a while ago that they had no interest in V5.

I'm so disappointed they didn't show off Yuzuru as much, because his talk voice sounds gorgeous. I hope he gets a song VB on A.I.Voice.

Yukari looks like she's dressed up for a special ball for the local people of the moon. :tongue:

I wonder if the pandemic has encouraged some people to create more Vocaloid content with the sudden free time they might have gained?

Those designs give me strong late 2000s/early 2010s merch vibes, and I actually like it because of nostalgia. ^^; I used to see Vocaloid merch like that all the time when I first started going to cons around nine years ago.

I really don't understand how they're promoting Kafu right now. So far, they're still trying to gun for Kaf's established fandom, but aside from the wilfully blind, the fact that it doesn't really sound like the real Kaf at all is probably putting off some people. Meanwhile, non-fans and/or...

I agree that Kafu sounds a bit better in some sections of the latest demo, but on the whole, it still sounds like the real Kaf putting on a cutesy voice with a cotton ball in her mouth. :/ Or maybe this genre is really unsuited for Kafu's voice. If a cutesy demo was released, it might sound...

Definitely Hello Planet by Sasakure.UK for me, especially the bittersweet ending (though in this case, it's more like happy tears). I'm not sure if Last Night Good Night by kz counts because the lyrics are sad, but it still hits me right in my heart whenever I hear it.

To be fair, I did notice Miku NT's choppiness had been fixed up when Crypton rereleased her old demos with her latest voice.

I liked Ausgris's concept, and I'm still sad that he never became anything more than that. :(
