Axfc is a jerk. Here's my post on how to get downloads from there to work.

Multi-pitch CVVC banks do not work properly with the shareware A for automatic button!! Any articles where I complain about CVVC banks being broken is my own fault for not figuring it out sooner!!

Wiki Wednesday #121 - usa-utauの謎 / May

I was so lazy, I actually found "no" on May's distribution page so that I could copy and paste it instead of switching to the Japanese keyboard. It's one of those days, I guess.


Wiki Wednesday #121 - usa-utauの謎 / May

Hey guys! I'm going to answer a question I had without telling you the question. Ducks and chickens only share the Class Aves with each other. They don't even share an Order. The Order ducks belong to actually came before the Order chickens belong to! So I figure, the eggs came before the chickens. 

The closest living relative of birds are crocodiles!

So, the answer was because ducks and chickens are so different, they aren't even in the same Order.

Who is May?


Official Art from Website


Okay so, this is May. She kept coming up in biographies and I thought that it meant that a mysterious figure was being referenced. Nope! Just another UTAU. Keeping track of the Usa UTAU group is tedious, especially when you're going fast and using Google translate.

May is a decommissioned virus, I guess? 

Or wait, mysterious people keep showing up in May's biography too. I guess… Meito. It's… I think it's referencing a version of KAITO that got attacked by a virus. Huh?!

So, May was found by an anti-virus and put in a trash can. She used things in the trash can to become a full… virtual body? 

I think her design is based on decorative carp. I mean, I think they could have made it more obvious, but I think that's correct. Her skirt looks kind of like a tail, and the butterfly wings on her back kind of resemble fins. Her shirt is speckled red like some carp are.

She has a keyhole on her face. There's a port on her throat and there's a red cord going into it. 

She is talented at hacking into systems and rewriting them, and is a yandere for the virus KAITO OC. 

She once attached herself to the virus KAITO OC, but that's what got her put in the trash can.

I am so confused by this group. My understanding is that half of them are software engineers outside of the computers, and the other half live only in the computers. But then there was one who was given clothes by a researcher. 

I looked around the site, and apparently there are a hundred people collaborating on this universe. That is so crazy! The website makes it look like it was abandoned years ago, but people are still submitting stuff on piapro to this day. This explains why so many of the UTAUs have their profile on piapro and why some of the stuff seems so random. Like, there was the guy who ran an antique shop who got his own website. That was a lot of effort to make him be really special.

Then there's the Miku clone who just had an icon on the website and a link to piapro. And then, there's the kids chilling in a trash can who seem pretty related.

I think there are likely too many people collaborating for any one cohesive story to take place. But on a lark, I contacted the manager of it all and just said, hey. If people record my English list, I'll do the OTOs. Is this something I will regret? Probably not, because nothing ever comes from those offers… like ever. Once or twice in a blue moon it happens, but mostly never.

It would be funny, though. I'd go from "I don't get it. Why is this. How is this?" To "I don't get it. Why is this. How is this? Oh yeah, I do some work for them."

How is May's bank?


May just has one bank. It is a single CV bank with only one pitch. I'm actually shocked. It is a cute and sweet, young woman's voice. It's not perfect, but I expected it to not be this good. It really is a good bank.


Where can I download May?


Her download link is on her distribution page. Hearing how cute and kind her voice was was a nice surprise.
