Forgotten Friday #210 - 哀調ノイジ / Aichou Noiji

 After being used to tuning in Praat (even for UTAU), tuning in actual vocal synths feels hostile. Like, they don't want you to tune, so they'll go out of their way to make it difficult. I mean, with how much AI is catching on, maybe they do want manual tuning to stop.

I... Don't actually know what's going on. I censored the art a little to not include the brain (those really scared me when I was younger and were part of the reason I stopped watching SpongeBob). So, Noiji is a child of unknown age whose voice is mixed with noise? They passed in an accident and were brought back with a new brain inside a tank connected to their head? I guess they don't remember their previous life and just want someone to play with them.

Who is Noiji Aichou?

Wiki Wednesday #199 - Akumane Saino / 悪魔音才能

 This article was guest authored by Franz Feldman.

Wiki Wednesday #199 - Akumane Saino / 悪魔音才能

Hey there pals! It's your favorites mountain man! Mae is feeling unwell, so I'm stepping in! I don't know much about this stuff, but I should be able to figure it out!

The person who made this said you could write her name as Acmane. She was made by Furishin and  MadameJustine. Now, I got a little overwhelmed, so I asked Mae what to say here. She says this is a pretty standard personality for one of these things. She is a teenager who has a personality that is two extremes depending on who she is with. She's crazy sometimes and calm others. She is kind to friends and mean to enemies. Her character item is a porcelain doll, and she loves books and horror. She seems to be Polish.

Who is Saino Akumane?

Forgotten Friday #209 - オメガ / Omega

 I don't know how many articles I can get done tonight, but I hope it is several.

Forgotten Friday #209 - オメガ / Omega

Omega is a cutie pie! By adding a gender flag, you are allowed to use his "grown" design, but like, he's adorable the way he is! While he is designed and intended to be used as a young boy, he is actually around two-hundred years old. 

Who is Omega?

Wiki Wednesday #198 - Ako Akoni

 my back is starting to hurt and I don't know why.

Wiki Wednesday #198 - Ako Akoni

Basically everything about this utau is based around an unreleased utau. Things that aren't are the fact that she loves to paint her nails, hates laundry, and has a fear of being alone.

Forgotten Friday #208 - ケーナン / Keenan

 I just took a one month break, but life has been going so fast, it feels like I've been missing for a decade.

Forgotten Friday #208 - ケーナン / Keenan

Alright. Let me ask, why do you come here? Is it for the characters. or is it for the voices? For me, I really only care about the UTAU libraries as instruments at this point. However, I previously was in it for the characters and not the usefulness as an instrument. All that said to introduce Keenan / Keinan / Kenan.

Keenan is a quena, which is a flute from Latin America. That's why his design is inspired by Latin America!

Who is Keenan?

Wiki Wednesday #197 - Akio Kourinne / 光輪音アキオ

 I told the manager of this Utau happy early birthday.

Wiki Wednesday #197 - Akio Kourinne / 光輪音アキオ

Akio is a seven year old boy who really likes udon and his teddy bear. His voice provider is KeraKera's little brother. 

All that information comes from the readme file. The Fandom page has almost nothing in it.

Forgotten Friday #207 - 紅子 / Beniko

 So, you'd think the reason that I'd be trying so hard to get all of these articles written would be because I will need to focus on my writing in November... But it's actually I just want to download more banks, but I can't do that until I get all the banks I already have out of the way!

Forgotten Friday #207 - 紅子 / Beniko

This UTAU has an insanely pretty design. Beniko is a young woman that dyes her hair who is around high school age. She loves strawberry jam, but soda isn't her cup of tea. And oh my goodness, did I mention the art? The painting style looks perfect!

Who is Beniko?

Wiki Wednesday #196 - Akihiko Chumoku / 明彦注目

Technically the name should be Chūmoku, right? Or is that only for ō?

Wiki Wednesday #196 - Akihiko Chumoku / 明彦注目

Dude is a stuck up jerk and I'm tired of being around him just reading the character description! He thinks he's a prince and will throw a hissy fit if he isn't treated as one at age eighteen.

It's completely fine to write and create characters that wouldn't be fun to be around! He is part of the larger Shikiloid universe. If everyone was a peach, it would be boring!

Who Is Chumoku Akihiko?

Forgotten Friday #206 - 百音★世継 / Yotsugi Hyakune

 The Romanization came from the artwork in the bank... Until I realized that Yotugi wasn't a choice in romanization, but a typo. What I read as Yotugi was Yostugi.

Forgotten Friday #206 - 百音★世継 / Yotsugi Hyakune

I honestly tried to do this article without my keyboard, but the tablet mode keyboard is so bad, it took me far too long to even type what I had typed... I also took to Twitter to say how pretty the art of Yotsugi is. Hyakune Yotsugi is a seventeen-year-old woman who loves strawberries, raspberries, and Japanese sweets. She hates mushrooms, though. This was all taken from the Bing Translate version of the site. (This tablet has like zero space for more than one browser!) It may not be entirely correct, but I have a feeling it's close enough.

The art of this character is so pretty, I made a tweet asking for tutorials on how to do that style.

Who is Hyakune Yotsugi?
