Forgotten Friday #185 - 玉響ぎょくぽ / Tamayura Gyokupo

 I have been making an active choice to only cover utaus with only one bank lately because the mini pc just isn't fun to use utau on. But now! I'm on my tablet :)

Last week on Beauty and the Puppy, Belle woke up and immediately fell back to sleep. In this installment, she's awake!

Belle stared blankly ahead as Jonah shifted his weight. They were sitting across from each other in her dining room. Belle propped her elbows on the wooden table and announced, "I don't remember the majority of my time with you." 

Being treated for bipolar disorder did nothing for Belle's other problems. Even if they presented differently, they were still there. Since finally adjusting to her medicine enough to stay awake for an entire day, her binge eating had put several pounds on her in only a week or so. She never purged and had no intention to. She was okay with the weight gain because she didn't care. Her autism, which made her an inappropriate spark of joy when manic, now just made her speak in a low and slow monotone while her dead eyes refused to make eye contact. Anyone trying to touch her without her giving verbal permission resulted in a loud hissing. 

"We learned from my sisters how these medications work." Belle watched the concern in Jonah's eyes. When manic, her voice naturally pushed itself to be shrill and piercing. Her usual cadence worked with the pitch to make a voice that was uniquely feminine. However, this droning was simultaneously masculine and genderless. "It doesn't change you. It only changes how long and intense your episodes are. If the medication does its work, you will literally never meet the girl I was again." She waited for Jonah to nod in acknowledgement before continuing. "My father has informed me of the deal you two had come up with." She was completely dead behind her eyes when she added, "I was flattered." She held up a hand to cut off Jonah before continuing. "By taking such good care of me when you didn't need to, you have proved that the circumstances of our initial relationship were irrelevant."

She stood up and leaned across the table before closing her eyes and tenderly placing a kiss on Jonah's nose. They both were frozen. Jonah was frozen with shock, and Belle was waiting for some kind of magical sensation to appear and make Jonah human again. When nothing happened after a minute, she pulled away from him. Jonah expected her to have an expression on her face. Literally any expression. But her face was blank as she sat down. 

"That's unfortunate," Belle finally frowned.

"I mean…" Jonah trailed off. He didn't tell her that the little kiss was like little electric butterflies. He really did love Belle. He wasn't going to suggest that he kiss her for two main reasons. The first was obviously that he didn't want to put her in the position where she wanted to say no but didn't feel as if she could. The second was… he had no idea how to kiss a human. He was one of the most popular boys at school before being cursed, so he had kissed plenty of girls in his human body. But now? He literally had a snout. While dogs have lips, they can't pull them together to kiss. The only things he could think of that resembled kissing were licking her face and maybe booping her mouth with his nose. One was just the reverse of what she had already done… and especially when she was depressed, she did not like spit or germs.

What will Belle do next week?! Find out on the next installment of Beauty and the Puppy!

How are Tamayura Gyokupo's banks?

I'm confused.

Normal and Normal hybrid don't seem to be the same bank. Normal comes with an extra oto file? Both seem to be combination vcv and cvvc.

Normal comes with a prefix map, but it isn't just... Where it's supposed to be. Oh, because the suffix, has a space, it breaks the A for automatic button. And.. It doesn't work with the default resampler. And the otos are... Broken?! This... No. This literally isn't vcv. This is CV OTO'd as VCV which is WHY???

You guys know I love CVVC, but this bank tricked me into thinking it was vcv, so I was using a cv ust, so... Yeah.

Next, normal hybrid. Don't do this. Like, why would you do this?

Now that I know better, I can just use the CVVC ust. The voice is really nice and works with the default resampler, but this lying about vcv is really annoying. VCV usts need to be tuned a specific way. It works with CV technically, but it doesn't turn out the best because CV isn't meant to be crossfaded.

If This was just a regular cvvc bank, I'd love it. But the tomfoolery of it just soured me on it.

Where can I download Gyokupo Tamayura?

Official site has the banks. His number is 3.
