VOCALOID Akasuki Luci Campfire Campaign for VOCALOID6

[lIlI]

The second of Yamaha's Fan-ding projects, VSinger Akasuki Luci's crowdfunding campaign is now live! I wonder if she'll be as successful as Adachi Rei?

Here is her voice provider's real voice, for reference:


Here is concept art of her vocal synth design:

Her voice is a soft-whispery type I feel I've heard a lot recently (most of Kamitsubaki's output, Nakuru, Miki, Nurse Robo, Asa, Nayuta, Asumi Shuo...) but I love her design!

 

[Blue Of Mind]

Love her design, but her VP's voice is a dime a dozen with other Vocaloids and vocal synths now, so I think Luci would struggle to stand out. (But the sheer willpower of otaku culture has surprised me before, sooo...)

So who is she anyway?

 

[BiscuitsandTriscuits]

We shall see what happens but not like concerned with the outcome either way? Just a generic voice in this day and age? Maybe she has a fanbase already but I have never heard of her at all and at least with Kafu she was already known and was like featured in anime themes and ish before everything idk

Edit: The lack of like original assets for their backer rewards is also weird to me? Like the plush reward literally is just Adachi Rei's

Update: she's a vtuber.

I am no longer interested in this one.

While Vtubers are spiritually less exciting for me than original Vocaloid characters, I'm happy for them to get voice banks if it gives us access to HQ and interesting voices. Thinking back, Itsuki was a cool addition to SynthV's lineup, and Yurin is my favourite recent VoiSona. I understand why companies are leaning towards voices with preestablished fanbases.

I don’t know her at all but her Vocaloid design being illustrated by Hidari (MAYU character designer & one of my all time favourite artists) is enough to get me VERY interested. The concept art already looks sick.
