Holy crap... the LGBTQ community is still quite stigmatized in Japan, isn’t it? At least to a greater extent than it is in the States. I’m so proud of him!! We stan a king :ia_ani_lili:

The Iroha part was cute :mikoto_lili: and I am happy for Kyounosuke! Good for him!
I saw a few screencaps of the vid on twitter of him advertising Iroha but then when I watched the video I thought it was so funny, he was REALLY going for it
"She's cute and easy to use and more powerful than V2 and you can buy her at lots of places like Amazon as a physical or a downloadddd"
he did more convincing advertising in this video for iroha than yamaha has done for all of v5 smh

This probably won't concern most people here, but it seems the VOICEROID product line has been discontinued.

There's an interview with Tomohide Ogata (AHS' president) here, but the gist of it is basically that the engine belongs to AI JP and getting the rights to use it along with licensing characters is difficult, and it's difficult to proceed as things are now. They've been in talks with Techno Speech for years now, so future talk voices will probably be on CeVIO. AI VOICE was asked about, but there was no real comment on it.

This basically just means no more new products will be released (except maybe Zunko English since we know that's been planned for a while?) -- the ones that exist will still continue to be sold.

What is Misbah studios and what is that software they’re mentioning?
*edit*
Also this tweet kinda catches my thoughts well so I won’t give much more of my opinion than this
im sorry to vbe negative but without any vocal examples of the new engine or what That studio produced before i dont have high hopes, especially if they add ai at the end

Cool. Now I just have to remember something that's going to occur a month from now. ... Remind me, what day of the week is it today? It's still January, right? Or is it?
