Axfc is a jerk. Here's my post on how to get downloads from there to work.

Multi-pitch CVVC banks do not work properly with the shareware A for automatic button!! Any articles where I complain about CVVC banks being broken is my own fault for not figuring it out sooner!!

Wiki Wednesday #60 - 艦音ゆしろ / Yushiro Kanne

I woke up jittery. It was so insane. There are two different terms for this, but each one is vastly different. The first is "mixed state". A mixed state picks some elements of mania, and some elements of depression and hugs them together. The other is "rapid cycling". Rapid cycling is when you bipolar as normal, only really, really fast. In my natural state, I didn't rapid cycle. My episodes lasted months at a time. But with meds, everything has changed. My episodes aren't regular anymore. They're just... Different. Smaller, quicker, and less devastating. Take your meds, yo.

Wiki Wednesday #60 - 艦音ゆしろ / Yushiro Kanne

I kind of recognize that writing articles so quickly and then spacing them out once per week can end up a little confusing when I refer to articles I wrote an hour ago as something I wrote an hour ago, or when I bring up what I wrote yesterday. If you're ever curious about the timeline in which I wrote these, you can "pop-out" the media player and it will take you to the file itself. You can check out the details to see when I wrote it. Usually I would include screenshots to demonstrate this, but the first picture is the one that gets picked as the icon, so I can't do that until after the icon for the bank!

Maybe my meds will kick in and I'll get less verbose (being a Southerner means adding "r"s everywhere. I spent way too long trying to figure out why verbrose wasn't spelled right). But for now, I have a lot of words to say. Especially because this UTAU shocked me and threw three banks at me in one ZIP archive.

Forgotten Friday #70 - 塩化名トリウム / Trium Enkana

I actually was really freaked out because I thought the blog was only pushed out until April 1st. Popped onto the blog to get to work, and bam! It was pushed out until April 17th. I don't absolutely need to freak out over the blog lapsing! My YouTube channel is basically guaranteed to lapse because, eh. I have videos to post, but I have to convert them first and I really need to switch to a different screen recorder.

Forgotten Friday #70 - 塩化名トリウム / Trium Enkana

(Note, I originally titled the article Thorium Enkana as the Wiki had it. After getting one paragraph in, I had to change it to what it was intended to be by the person who made it. It's a salt pun, and bringing Thorium into it ruined it.)

Her name is Salt (NaCl for ya'll Chemistry people. Ya'll know that table salt isn't the only salt). You're probably wondering why her name is Thorium, when that is an entirely different element from sodium. Well, the answer is that it probably isn't. The Japanese word for sodium chloride is 塩化ナトリウム. But, for this UTAU, the "na" was changed to a kanji to be part of her family name. I haven't seen her name written as Thorium except for the UTAU Wiki page. And, I'm pretty sure that Wiki page was pulling stuff out of thin air, because the original Latin for Sodium is natrium. So, she's really Enkana Trium.  Get it? Enkanatrium! 

Anyway, I love puns.

Wiki Wednesday #59 - Mal-Cat's Reza

Another article about a Mal-Cat group UTAU! There really isn't much to say with these UTAUs. Would it make more sense to lump these UTAUs together so that there's less padding? Yes! Will I do it? No! If I made sure every article took one hour to write, then it would take me over a hundred hours to do this blog for a year! And, some articles straight up take forever, way longer than an hour. I get that a hundred hours sounds like nothing when it comes to work and jobs and stuff, it's not even three work weeks! But I'm not getting paid, man.

Wiki Wednesday #59 - Mal-Cat's Reza

So, another UTAU from Mal-Cat, and another one voiced by Machine. I still don't know who Machine is. Maybe in a previous article I figured it out? My memory is beyond shot.

So, article.

Who is Reza?

Forgotten Friday #69 - 碧衣フウ / Aoi Fu

heh, nice.

Forgotten Friday #69 - 碧衣フウ / Aoi Fu

Let me start by saying that the proper romanization is "Fuu" and not "Fu". But, the folder is named in romaji as "Aoi Fu". So, she's Fu.

That looks really awkward, like I'm trying to stop myself from cursing. Can I call her Aoi from this point on? I'm calling her Aoi.

I can't find the icon for the person who uploaded the videos on the Nicovideo page. That's really weird and confusing. I do believe I found her "manager" on YouTube, but there's no actual information about who is behind this UTAU. The only person actually credited that I can find is someone named Linai. They are apparently the voice provider, and I was able to find one video of them singing.Are they the same person as vocaloid0eve? Who knows!

Who is Fu Aoi?

Wiki Wednesday #58 - UTAO!のペティ / project UTAO!'s Pet

Ya know, I don't get these names sometimes. ペティ is pronounced "Petty". Pet would be ペット. UTAO! is upfront that this UTAU's name is Pet, so at least I didn't write half an article before seeing a side note that "woa" is pronounced "or".

Wiki Wednesday #58 - UTAO!のペティ / project UTAO!'s Pet

So, I'm back to one bank UTAUs for the rest of tonight. I'm hoping I can push the articles out to May tonight. I've learned that lack of sleep helps depression. Like, I knew it for years, but I put it into practice today. Sleeping in with depression is so rough. You wake up more tired than you went to bed! Or at least, I do. So, it's 4:30 PM and I should probably be up until 8 PM. So... Short articles like this? I should be able to do this. I really hope I can do this.

Forgotten Friday #68 - Yuge Kikansha

I'm okay! My last entry was written Feb 9, 2020, and it is now the fourth of March. That feels like such a giant hiatus, yet no one would realize it unless I pointed it out. Time goes wonky when you're depressed, so it simultaneously feels like I abandoned the blog for a year, yet it often feels like I abandoned it for just a few days. But, hopefully my month long stretch of only leaving the bed to watch TV is cured.

Forgotten Friday #68 - Yuge Kikansha

Alright, this UTAU doesn't have a Wiki page. It doesn't even have a kanji name. I searched up and down for any information, and there is almost none. I was however able to track down his gender from descriptions from YouTube videos! Yay!

Yuge was made by the same person who made Coco Sukoshi. From what I've seen, Yuge never got his own release. He was just packaged with her, and that was that. Yuge's character file also had no information. So... Well...

Wiki Wednesday #57 - 蓮音こん / Hasune Kon

I don't need to go on and on about this or that because this UTAU has seven banks! I can just focus on rendering off the files and saying approximately fifty words about each one. How hard is it to say fifty words? Purple monkey dishwasher. There you go! Fifty!

Wiki Wednesday #57 - 蓮音こん / Hasune Kon

Another Vegedol! Vegedol is an UTAU collective where UTAU is assigned a vegetable. I was proud of myself for this one. I had no idea what vegetable this chick represented. So I dragged her vegetable icon into the address bar. It said "renkon". So I did some searching, and this UTAU is based off of lotus roots! Not the lotus itself - just the root.

Anyway, I have a lot of samples to analyze, so let's nyoom.
