Forgotten Friday #23 - Hikaru Hoshi / 星ヒカル

Who is Hikaru Hoshi? Where can I download 星ヒカル? How many acts does Hoshi Hikaru have?

Forgotten Friday #23 - Hikaru Hoshi / 星ヒカル

Today is another case of "I should know you, I feel like I know you... Why don't I know you?" I recognize the icon on the YouTube channel, and I vaguely recognize the name Ulquorraet10, but I don't even know the name she went by and I never used her UTAU. (As we'll see below, I was somehow wrong.)

The design has also changed throughout the years, though the most recent design was not included in any of the banks. In a quest to find more information, I found that the readme of Act 5 was left blank. The only information on her I've really found is that she's colorblind, sixteen, and loves being the center of attention.

This article will be strangely formatted because otherwise the flow of information would be wonky. 

Wiki Wednesday #12 - LemonJay

Who is LemonJay? Where can I download LemonJay? No, seriously, I don't think this is helping the SEO.

Wiki Wednesday #12 - LemonJay

So, like the previous Wiki Wednesday, the only thing that comes up when you search the name given for the creator of this UTAU is one Reddit account. It would be unfair to link the two people together if they are separate people, so I'm leaving it at that. (If it is the same person, my assumptions about the creator of LemonJay based off of the website and bank were really wrong.)

LemonJay has no character art and only has a few random tidbits of character information. However, after listing the character information, the writer of the Wiki page tells us we are allowed to disregard that information as it is just suggestions. 

The closest thing this bank has to art.

Forgotten Friday #22 - 筑紫野スイム / Chikushino Swim

Who is 筑紫野スイム ? Where can I download Swim Chikushino? I'm sure this really doesn't help SEO.

Forgotten Friday #22 - 筑紫野スイム  / Chikushino Swim

This is another case of swearing I should know this UTAU, but then having no memory of it at all. She has been used a few times by overseas users, but rarely and all over five years ago.

As late as 2014, the character has had some attention to say the least. Swim does have an MMD model.

Wiki Wednesday #11 - GALON / ガロン

Who is ガロン? Where can I download GALON? Is GALON a boy or girl?

Wiki Wednesday #11 - GALON / ガロン

So, I've tried to organize my workflow for this blog in many ways. Mostly, they have failed and I've ended up with a folder filled with UTAUs with no idea what goes where. I decided to change that, and now I have over thirty UTAUs for Wiki Wednesday downloaded and written down in a spreadsheet to make sure I get to everyone.

On a super happy note, I have gotten through 2018! Once all thirty or so of these UTAUs are written about, I will begin downloading UTAUs who qualify for Wiki Wednesday from 2017. Downloading is my favorite part, but my computer is running low on space. But, no one came here for an update! They came here to learn about GALON.

Forgotten Friday #21 - 壊れた音カシ / Kowaretane Kashi

Who is Kashi Kowaretane? Where can I download Kowaretane Kashi? Who made 壊れた音カシ? 

Forgotten Friday #21 - 壊れた音カシ / Kowaretane Kashi

I'm kind of confused by this UTAU user. When I say kind of, I mean really confused. Her YouTube channel is FandubsRus, but she's obviously a native English speaker! Maybe her name has "Rus" in it? Nope! It's Sammi. (editor's note: I had just pressed submit and went to get some candy when I realized . . . "fandubs are us." Not my brightest moment.)

This UTAU is really, really obscure, despite her most viewed video having over nine thousand views.

The only place with any information on this UTAU is the UTAU Visual Archive, which is strange for an overseas UTAU. I couldn't find a wiki dot or wikia page on this girl.

Wiki Wednesday #10 - Mak1 / mm0th's マキ

Who is Mak1? How can I download mmoth's マキ? Is it moral to use an UTAU when the accounts listed for the creator are deactivated? 

Wiki Wednesday #10 - Mak1 / mm0th's マキ

I did really consider not writing this article until after Mak1's CVVC was released. However, there is no telling when that will be and I can update the article afterwards. Besides, the download links will likely still be in the same place. But let me tell you, this CVVC is lit. 

So, with the knowledge that a CVVC bank that is really good is in the works, let's talk about Mak1.

Forgotten Friday #20 - Michiko Nikora / 二コラ美智子

Who is Michiko Nikora? How can I download Nikora Michiko? Who made ニコラミチコ ?

Forgotten Friday #20 - Michiko Nikora

In researching for this article, I found Michiko singing "Uraomote Lovers". I was quite a bit confused, as this was a Forgotten Friday article. That song is still super new in my head, so I got quite a shock when I found out the cover was from nine years ago. 

Michiko is a case that is both common and strange at the same time. She was created while her creator, Michicookies, still went by her original name, Rasha. Michicookies is still active to this day on YouTube. However, no UTAU content has been uploaded to her new channel. However, Michicookie's deviantArt proves that she does not fully disown Michiko. This piece of art was drawn only a few months prior to the writing of this article.

In researching, I also found a bank that no one seems to realize exists from 2011. This is a bit of a huge deal as Michiko's act three (which is the only one linked to on her wiki page) is from 2009.
