Forgotten Friday #158 - NFT project's -KATSUHO-

 I did it!! This is the last article of 2021, written at 4:14 PM on the 26th of December in 2020. I still have one more article to do before I take a well deserved break so that it is literally pushed out into 2022, but wow! I'm proud of myself!

Forgotten Friday #158 - NFT project's -KATSUHO-

I have an honest question about why Chitose is number four, her genderbend released alongside her is number eight, and this UTAU is number twelve. 

Were there a ton of UTAUs that were culled?? Anyway.

Who is Katsuho?

Wiki Wednesday #147 - 風南メル / Meru Kazeminami

 Yes!! I was so confused. I did a silly and put his Japanese name in the word doc for my drafts, but his listing in my spreadsheet and the filename of his bank were both the romaji version. It was extra aaargh because axfc is currently being awful and I didn't know if I could get his bank downloaded if I didn't already have it. I had it!! 

Wiki Wednesday #147 - 風南メル / Meru Kazeminami

Just one more article, and Wiki Wednesday will be pushed out to 2022, officially! Which sounds silly now that I think of it, because the absolutely earliest you will read this is when it airs, and you could assume I wrote this the night before... but I know :)

This guy's site includes an option for Chinese text. I think that might mean that the character is related to China in some way. 

I… there's nothing really to say, but there is a minimum word count. There's not going to be anything to say if I start this tomorrow or the next day. So, let's go.

Forgotten Friday #157 - 主飼エヌ / Nushikai Enu

 This draft was written before Christmas of 2020! Hopefully when this publishes on Christmas Eve 2021, I'll be super hyped up for a wonderful Christmas with twice the cheer!! Because this Christmas was basically just watching TV and trying to forget it was Christmas because it really wasn't Christmas because of COVID.  

Forgotten Friday #157 - 主飼エヌ / Nushikai Enu

I was unsure on whether I should write on this UTAU or not because it's strange. She's a multipitch VCV with only vowels I think??

There is utility in a bank with only vowels, actually. But I haven't tried out the bank yet. So, of course, it will be useful to test out if it has utility.

But dang it. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and my mom is too sick to do anything, and I can't even be in the same room with her for too long because she's afraid I'll get sick when I already think I'm sick! I'm really lucky because my stepdad has recovered and mom is checking her oxygen levels often to make sure that she's safe… but dang it. Christmas is cancelled.

Wiki Wednesday #146 - 歌苗ダダ / Kanae Dada

 There is a small chance I messed up the dates and will need to move this back, but!! I am writing this on 12/22/20, but if all goes as is planned, this will be released on 12/22/21!! A palindrome! And exactly one year out! Just two more, and these articles will be pushed out into 2021! I'm happy!

So, here is a huge difference between utao and usa utau. With usa utau, if one UTAU is the counterpart to another one who has a full biography, their biography is just "oh, and he's just here to protect so-and-so."

Dada, however, has a full biography, just like Yaya had a full biography.

Forgotten Friday #156 - 森音むぃ / Morine Mui

 I'm going all out of order again so that I can end the year with strong articles that don't go into rants about that time I went voting back in November!

Forgotten Friday #156 - 森音むぃ / Morine Mui

I did and didn't work on my blog today. I wrote five drafts if I'm counting correctly! That means that surely I'll be able to push my blog out until 2022 before 2021!

That is if I don't get sicker. Quick recap. Stepdad caught the virus at work and gave it to my mom. My mom has been militant about not coming within ten feet of me and always wearing a mask, but I still think I have it. I was like la di da, I have tummy problems and my throat is sore!! I'm sure that I'm infected but asymptomatic, as 80% of people who catch it are! But now I'm honestly feeling sick. If I had a thermometer, I would take my temperature. But I don't have one, or at least I have no idea where one is. I recently used painter's tape as a bandaid dang it.

Wiki Wednesday #145 - 歌苗ヤヤ / Kanae Yaya

 I am so close to my goal of at least getting Wiki Wednesday pushed out until 2022! It's December 22, 2020. That gives me plenty of time to do it, especially since Christmas is cancelled this year.

Wiki Wednesday #145 -  歌苗ヤヤ  / Kanae Yaya

So, I should finish Usa-utau before I start on another massive collective. But I'll be entirely honest: usa utau is tiring. Either you need to fill five hundred words with nonsense because there's no character beyond it being a rip off of a vocaloid… or your brain breaks because they are a little bad at writing and their AU is just so confusing.

All of them have Japanese names except for a few, but Eve lives in the EU? I mean, does that mean something else in their AU? Not the European Union? How do they keep hoofing it from Japan to Germany?! Planes are never mentioned!

Utao is not like that. They don't openly rip off vocaloids. I may be wrong, but I believe they consistently put in the same work for each UTAU. I started at the top of the list, so I may find out that's wrong near the bottom of it. I believe I've written about some of them before, but there are still about eleven on the spreadsheet to go over. It may deteriorate.

Forgotten Friday #155 - 久度ヤフカ / Kudo Yafuka

 It is so frustrating that while she has a VCV bank, I can't get it to work. It was hosted on Microsoft Drive, and now it doesn't work at all. There's a chance that it's an issue with the link shortener, and the bank is still just hanging out in the Microsoft Drive account. That would be so frustrating!!

Forgotten Friday #155 - 久度ヤフカ / Kudo Yafuka

I swear I interacted with this voice provider in 2013. I probably did, but maybe I probably didn't. I don't even know!

Wiki Wednesday #144 - 猫音ジン / dyslexia-q's YAKU / Ling

 I think that Nekone Jin is an abandoned name because of the fact that it wasn't the best name, but I still included it because that's literally the file name for the bank.

Wiki Wednesday #144 -  猫音ジン / dyslexia-q's YAKU / Ling

So, dyslezia is a silly pants! Their p name is dyslexia-p. Which I thought was silly. Someone else probably picked that one! But then I read the page a bit more and looked back. It was dyslexia-q the entire time! Oh, how silly that was!

Little jokes like that are the best. You can't be offended by them when they work on you!

Forgotten Friday #154 - 楽音キヨ / Rakune Kiyo

 Here's an actual Forgotten Friday article about an UTAU from 2009! I had that last word document all nice and in a row, so I just powered through it so that I could reach my goals faster!

Forgotten Friday #154 - 楽音キヨ / Rakune Kiyo

So, I decided that next time I start a spreadsheet, I’m going to order it so that I can write from one to one hundred and then post the articles in that exact order.

Well, I didn’t do this for this spreadsheet. That’s because, well, I need to just have filler between the families without doing advanced calculus to see where to fit what in. I think it would be okay to space out family members by three articles, right? Well, I’m not entirely sure I have enough.

And, most importantly, all of these banks in this document are also already on my computer. I don’t need to download anything else.

Also… These are actually old banks. Not Wiki Wednesday but from five years ago, but 2009 and 2010 banks. I had a feeling people missed those.

Wiki Wednesday #143 - kibousingers' MIYA

 There were two articles in a row that I had to skip because I hadn't downloaded all the banks. The really odd thing was that the second one... the name wasn't even in my spreadsheet. And I hadn't downloaded her. So strange!

Wiki Wednesday #143 - kibousingers' MIYA

Alright, so, kibousingers is gone. Their tumblr was taken down. Googling the name just brings up this UTAU. Googling the name of this UTAU brings up other ones that have Miya as a given name. Because, ya know, Miya is a pretty nice name for an UTAU.

Her wiki page has almost no information at all. With all the information scrubbed, I really thought that the bank would be gone too. It isn't!

Since you can still download the bank, the article is still on. It's just, you know, there's nothing really to say. I can say things about other things, and I definitely will. Just. You know how it is.

Who is MIYA?
