That's her old english cevio, I recognize it as one of her early English songs Love Life Peace by MONDO GROSSO along with Stay Gold and Conqueror.
1st Place introduces HIPPI
- Thread starter Exemplar
- Start date
Thanks for checking! That's good, I'm hoping for a noticeable quality jump.
I feel that her voice sorta goes with her (absolutely poppin)design? I'm flip flopping but her voice sorta gives me like big sister archetype vibes if that makes sense idk how to word it.
Up to now
I was personally hoping she would sound similar to Saki Nikaido from Zombie Land Saga. But Junko Konno, also from Zombie Land Saga, can talk in a really cute way, then suddenly sing in a really deep pitch for a rock concert.OMG HER ENGLISH
Also while her talk voices are cute, I'm a bit sad she hasn't a more mature tone =S Not saying it's a bad thing because it still fits but yeah, for some reason I've always imagined her with either a very cool voice (like, cooler in pronunciation and such than One herself) or that one typical mature voice tone you'd hear in some animes' ladies characters
I don't think the Arias needed another cute, kiddie sounding voice; a deeper, rock-suited tone would have been a more useful addition to the group (and CeVIO as a whole) in my opinion. I'm also getting a bit of a mismatch between her design and voice at the moment. Holding on to a string of hope that her singing voice (if made) might sound different.
Arggg this was not the voice type I was expecting or hoping for. But... I don't hate it either. I'm curious to see how she will sound synthesized! Hopefully she'll still be distinct from IA and ONE, and maybe (if she gets a singing voice??) will suit more rock-like songs still.
She is sweet and youthful but calling her moe is imo exaggerating just because she didn't meet people's expectations in terms of vocal type, and I don't see how this is any indicator of her potentially not being suitable for rock when some of the best rock vocals we have are cutesy as well ( Rin Kagamine, Otomachi Una, Rana ).
I didn't expect a cuter tone, but I don't hate it either. Her English sounds precious, however! I'm curious to see how CeVIO processes it.
She sounds like she's speaking through a voice changer? Interesting. (edit: I'm guessing it's to make her sound "synthesized" like IA and ONE's talk banks, but it really stands out haha)
It's not really a voice I expected from that design, though I don't really have a strong opinion either way. I really like her English though!

i really like the design, but i think i made a post a while back about how i like 'high contrast' design like black/white (i like kafu's design) so its no surprise i really like hippi's design too. i am not super into the voice but like many others i dont hate it either. i like her "edgy" design as it reminds me of rock/punk outfits which i want to see more in vocal synth. i dont think her voice wouldnt fit with rock imo, but it is hard to tell just from the sample in the video. its cool that she will havce english, and i like how she sounds/speak in english! im hoping her voice can sound out to some degree next to IA and One, because the two of them are just.... not my thing so id love to hear a voice in this trio that piques my interest.

We've seen in both IA and ONE's case that their talk voices aren't really representative of their song voices, so I'm reserving my overall judgement until we hear a sample one day. That said, I think her voice is okay! I don't feel super strongly about it but I'll support nonetheless!
I think she sounds okay, definitely not what I was expecting, but still okay. Also did she pronounce One’s name as o-ne? I’ve been pronouncing it as one, so I guess I’ve been wrong. Also also, HIPPI is actually a computer thing. I don’t know if that has anything to do with her naming or not.

HIPPI's voice is alright, but not what I expect honestly. I expected a lower voice from her. I feel like it'll contrast from IA and ONE if that makes sense.
(I can't imagine her NOT having a lower voice)

I... am not a fan of her voice. It's A-OK, but as everyone, I expected a lower voice.
Her voice is.... alright, I suppose. Certainly not what I was expecting. Nonetheless, I'll proceed with an open mind!
Yeah I hope it still has some depth, I guess. I don't think it'll be bad, even though I don't know that it's the expected voice based on the image. Funnily enough, her voice actually kind of reminds me of Monomi from Danganronpa 2? 
It's definitely o-ne, since it's said how it would be in Japanese, just like how IA is ee-ah rather than eye-ay! :)
1st Place has announced that 'virtual artist' Hippi's debut single (one of the tracks she sung during her concert appearance) will be released October 8th, it uses human vocals. To me this suggests that Hippi isn't currently planned to be a vocal synth, but doesn't rule it out for the future.
If that's the case, then maybe this thread should be moved into the virtual youtubers section.
Although it's not ultra-confirmed either way, I'll move it over. For all intents and purposes, she's a human voiced character for now.
