#ai otomachi una

[voca-song-a-day]

Today's featured song is: "Kitai Avenue" by Inabakumori feat. Otomachi Una!

[grizzlyofthesea]

Song cover update: I just got done tuning the first verse for each part. It's time-consuming, but it's also fun to really learn the ins and outs of the VOCALOID6 software.

Each character/vocal is giving me unique challenges, too.

GUMI is pretty soft no matter how much I increase her DYN or Expression (AI) values, so her volume slider in the mixer is permanently set to 3.0. Her longer notes can also be a bit raspy/funky, and figuring out how to soften them isn't always straightforward. Mixing her SOLID voicebank with her original V6's "Megpoid Default" Style filter actually produces some nice, well-rounded results, so that's neat.

Una has been the most difficult for me to work with so far. I'm using her Spicy voicebank since Sweet is a bit too soft for this song's energy, but she still isn't that clear or powerful on her own. The "Una_Spicy_Bright" Style filter adds a bit of noise, but it also really helps her bring out her consonants and sound a bit more "punchy."

HARUKA really doesn't like vibrato. She also overpowers the others A LOT by default, so I nerfed her Expression (AI).

SARAH sounds the most bored of the four without tuning, but she's been pretty easy to work with otherwise. She responds well to parameter adjustments.

Making a few character centered playlists to give to a friend that said he wanted to get into more music with Vocaloids. It was the first idea that popped into my head and it seemed fun to just throw it together. Figured I'd also post them here, cause why not?

So I present to you

The Miku playlist

The Kagamine Rin/Len playlist

The Kotonoha Akane/Aoi playlist

The Yukari playlist

The Chis-A playlist

The V/Ci Flower playlist

The Kafu playlist

The Teto playlist

The Adachi Rei playlist

The Kaai Yuki playlist

The Otomachi Una playlist

The GUMI playlist

The Kasukabe Tsumugi playlist

The Nene Nene playlist

I'll be updating the playlists and this list of playlists as I go on. This is everything that came to mind when I threw this together.

I feel still relatively new to the vocal synth scene having only started listening back in 2020 so I figured updating these fairly regularly would help me go out of my way more to discover new songs.

Vocaloid Songs You Might Have Missed - November 2023

Hi, welcome to the third entry in my "Vocaloid Songs You Might Have Missed" series... What do you mean we're over halfway done with December?!

I want to highlight some of the best yet-to-be-discovered music being produced with Vocaloids and other vocal synths.

Last month's post is here, and this month's is under the break.

As usual, I've separated the songs into three rough categories, more for my own organization than anything else. All of these songs are worth your critical listen, but I've left notes under my favorites or on anything I found particularly interesting.

Full playlist here, individual tracks below.

Rock

Colorful / クシャミィ feat. 花隈千冬

ことなかれ / うしお feat. 音街ウナ Sorry for lying! This actually came out in an album way back in March (purchase here), but it wasn't released as a single until November. Underneath the monster wave of Teto SV-mania, Una also received an update and there's been a nice bump in songs featuring her.

国士無双十三面待ちガール / TakoyakiKZY feat. 初音ミク Pon-nya! Chi-nya! Kan-nya! Kan-nya! Chi-nya! Riichi-nya! Ron-nya! Tsumo-nya!

chroma / karon feat. 鏡音リン Noodly guitar reminiscent of Ishifuro (who I desperately want back as a Vocaloid producer instead of whatever he's doing with Necry-Talkie...)

Pop

ニアーメロウ/ 稲井琴 feat. 重音テト One of my favorite things about Teto SV is the natural breathiness of her middle-lower register, and I feel like this song showcases it exceptionally well.

らゔゅッッ!!! / 鯖頭 feat. 初音ミク

タチが悪いな立川 / 井上春 feat. 初音ミク

嘘と��来 / うわべ feat. 足立レイ

Sunday Fly / Keriko Kick, TSoudai feat. 可不

欲しくて夢に見る / LLSY feat. 夏色花梨

零 / 音無あふ feat. 足立レイ Standard fare for a Rei tune, but this is some of the most intelligible tuning I've heard of her (at least in the UTAU world, some of the AI-assisted stuff is just uncanny).

侵略くにょにょん / サカダケイ feat. 重音テト One of the standout tracks of this month's list. Topsy-turvy, short and sweet, and it has the Namigroove seal of approval!

涼しさ / Sebon feat. VY1

ミスコミ(ュニケーション) / inori feat. GUMI ...Trippie Redd type beat...

Electronic

匿命に溺れて / 砂乃未時 feat. ハヤネ, カマネ, ナースロボ＿タイプT

彼方 / m.tomi feat. 知声

IDON'TCAREANYMOREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! / ゲルニカヘルベチ feat. 初音ミク Finally, Miku hyperpop!

総理！遅刻します！ / Shu feat. 初音ミク

心電図 / suni feat. 初音ミク

Acheron / 西島尊大 feat. Gekiyakuβ The bit in the middle where it goes into those Hakushi Hasegawa style chords... so good.

aquarium / 凍傷のエト feat. 名前シレズ This one has a UST (and Teto cover) already. It's exactly the kind of mellow song heavy in programmed drums that I love.

箱庭（ハコニワ） / おしっこ怪獣 feat. 重音テト The spliced vocals and stereo imaging in this song make it great for headphone listening.

So...

AI Otomachi Una is a thing.

I'm debating over whether or not to get her.

Pros:

She's cute. She sparks joy.

Her updated Sugar voicebank honestly sounds really good.

Since she has two cross-lingual voicebanks, I might be more motivated to practice using XSyn. I love GUMI V4, but copy/pasting Japanese syllables from Wikipedia to make song lyrics is painful. (Is there any way to make this process quicker?)

GUMI will have a friend that isn't one of the standard Yamaha voices.

She'd be the first non-adult voice in my (admittedly very small) arsenal, adding a bit of variety to the lineup.

This will show Internet Co. that their products are wanted. With enough interest in/purchases of their V6 voicebanks, maybe more of their characters will get updates. That's a big maybe, but never say never.

Cons:

She's freaking expensive ($138 US before tax).

Her updated Spicy voicebank is kind of underwhelming.

I love playing around with tuning/making covers privately, but I haven't had the courage to actually upload anything to the internet; in this sense, it might just seem like an expensive waste of time.

The whole "interest in Internet Co.'s stuff" thing outlined above isn't guaranteed to work.

So with all that said, I'm tossing this decision to a third party since I'm super indecisive.
