Forgotten Friday #398 - 芳醇音ウラ / Ura Houjunne

 From a preservation standpoint, it is a little sad when all previous banks are deleted upon the release of the most recent. From a "I am a completionist" standpoint, at least it makes writing articles easier!

 Forgotten Friday #398 - 芳醇音ウラ / Ura Houjunne

Ura is a teenage girl who is cheerful but loves pranks and drama. She is fully aware of the fact that she is unable to speak Japanese, though she can still sing it.

Forgotten Friday #397 - 淡水ウパ / Awami Upa

Whoo...

Forgotten Friday #397 - 淡水ウパ / Awami Upa

Totally unrelated to Upa, I am now one of those people who says "Microslop". However, I am also someone who refuses to use UTAU banks in anything other than UTAU, so here I am in a virtual machine that crashed so bad I had to sit through Windows 'repairing my computer' because Windows Update thought that ten gigabytes of RAM was an affront to life itself.

AND it happened again. Thanks, Microslop.

Anyway, Upa is an energetic teen girl who loves fish and eels.

 You'll never guess where I am! I mean, you know I'm in my house. But this text is being input into a Virtual Machine inside of Linux!

Forgotten Friday #396 - Peachbite's Uotan / 魚短

I have a keyboard now! I've always had a keyboard, but now the keyboard is just more necessary after becoming a Linux Girl. Anyway! I have no idea if Uotan is a fish or just a teenage girl who is obsessed with fish. She hates penguins because they eat fish and she hates dolphins for pretending to be fish. But, you know. the definition of fish is sufficiently vague that you and I could be fish.

Who is Uotan?

 If one was not aware that I write like three articles in quick succession, they would likely be concerned that my shoulder is still hurting. 

Wiki Wednesday #268 - Hoshi Tsukine / ホシ月音

The voice provider of Hoshi is Estonian. This led me to look and see if I could find a pronunciation dictionary for Estonian to see if it would be easy peasy to make a Diffsinger phonemizer or not. I believe... There is no ready to use dictionary, but there is a functioning G2P which could be used to make the dictionary without input from a native speaker. Anyway!

Hoshi was a spaceship who crashed on Mars. She was then turned into a robot that looks like a small child.
