Featured Vocaloid
Our Featured Vocaloid is Iroha Nekomura, the fourteenth Japanese Vocaloid distributed by AH-Software. Technically, she was a character before she was a Vocaloid-- a video game project involving Hello Kitty is where she technically originates from. Thus, she's described as a Hello Kitty fangirl and her design seems to invoke that kind of cat-ish feel. Her voice is actually kind of deep. This led into criticism because her voice didn't seem to match her design, however others asserted she was only tomboyish. Fanon follows up on this, she seems to be a fiercely energetic girl. Like most of the new Vocaloids, she has few originals, but there are some out there... Behind the Door (hinayukki/Shigotoshite-P), Stray Cat Avenue (Sasasa-P), and a duet with Kaito in Key of Destruction and the Lullaby (Shigotoshite-P). As you can see, she's an alto but her higher notes can sound good as well.
Featured Producer
Does this look and sound familiar? Well, that's actually a UTAU-- Momo Momone-- covering a song by our featured producer, daniwell-P! The original was sung by Miku. Yes, that's Miku. Daniwell-P is known for his catchy, bright, and cheery songs, such as Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya! as seen above. Other songs by daniwell-P include Electrical Parade Remix.
Vocaloid Vocabulary
This is dealing with UTAU Voicebanks.
CV: Consonant-vowel. That is, the way phonemes work in CV voicebanks is consonant-vowel.
VCV: Vowel-consonant-vowel. This allows for smoother pronunciation and overall a more human-sounding voicebank.
This may also have to do with the fact that "Triphones" are in the Vocaloid3 engine.
