Forgotten Friday #46 - おさコレPoid / Osakorepoid

I beg of you. Please zip your voicebank's folder and not just the contents. Nothing is as mildly inconvenient as unzipping a voicebank and it flooding the folder it is in.

Forgotten Friday #46 - おさコレPoid / Osakorepoid

I Nancy Drew'd, and I think I found the voice provider of this UTAU. I think this is their Nicovideo page. The release video for Osakorepoid has been taken down, but the description with the download link still remains. 

Other than that, there is no information on this bank. There was a website for this bank, but sadly it has went offline and the Internet Archive never saw it. So... Well..

Who is Osakorepoid?

Wiki Wednesday #35 - 芽目めめこ / Memeko Meme

Sadly, her name is not pronounced as "meem", the way it is pronounced in English. It is, in fact, pronounced the way that lame grandparents pronounce meme. (Well, as opposed to their mei-mei, this is just meh-meh.) This is getting away from me.

Wiki Wednesday #35 - 芽目めめこ / Memeko Meme

So, the Twitter given in Memeko Meme's ReadMe has been set to private, but it has KuroNeko's new handle in the bio. That is really awesome and considerate! I don't really have much else to say, other than I can't wait until I can read Japanese so that I can understand what her tumblr bio means.

Who is Meme Memeko?

Illustration under the break. The girl has eyes all over her body and one cyclops eye on her head. I did this before with Maron-chan, because I don't know. I have no problem with a character only having one eye, but cyclops eyes freak me out. (Fun fact, it is believed that the legend of cyclops comes from people who found elephant skulls and confused the nasal cavity for an eye socket.)

Forgotten Friday #45 - Kiwi Fukane / 不可音キウイ

So, I'm not going to Internet Archive the voice provider, credited mononymously as Katie. Most of her stuff has been taken down, and I won't go search for it. The only thing that matters is that we have Kiwi!

Forgotten Friday #45 - Kiwi Fukane / 不可音キウイ

I clicked on one of this UTAU's samples because it was named oddly. I heard the sample and smiled. This bank was recorded on a very bad microphone and that's why I love it. I don't feel bad pointing it out, because her name literally means "bad sound".

Anyway, let's not mince words!

Hiatus Over!

Hey guys! I have a confession to make. I had no idea how long this hiatus had been going on for. I had been focusing on my YouTube channel so hard, I forgot to work on the blog. It was mostly because I knew I was safe until the end of November. I didn't realize that I literally had let this blog rot since mid-August.

whoops

That being said, my YouTube hiatus started just one month later.

I upped a video I made about tracing after this, but it doesn't really count

In general, I used this time to take a hiatus from life in general. I felt really frustrated in general that things weren't coming together as I had planned. I had a Patreon, I had a ko-fi. Nothing on the money front other than one friend feeling sorry for me. I had my English list and people promising to record it, but I still only had Cynpoids to play with. (And two banks that I recorded, but I'm not the biggest fan of my voice in UTAU.) As a note, one person promised to record, but got sick. I don't hold that against them, and I'm still vibrating over how happy I am that they are going to record tripitch English for me.

Wiki Wednesday #34 - 多紀音ういな / Uina Takine

So, in my last Wiki Wednesday, I ended with saying that maybe my mental disturbance was the warning shots of a migraine. Well, I'm still functional. I should go to bed to prevent it from getting bad, but maybe it will just pass over?? I hope.

Wiki Wednesday #34 - 多紀音ういな / Uina Takine

Uina's voice provider is called Planet. Planet got the Twitter handle of BroadConcept, and I'm over here like, that's really lucky that you could get that handle! That's really cool. So, yeah, let's get to the article.

Forgotten Friday #44 - 骨津アロン / Honedzu Aaron

So, thanks to my switch to Google Drive, I am now able to confidently say that I can run this blog for nine years without issue. According to a nightmare scenario of only ten percent of UTAUs on Ruto dot Yu qualifying for Forgotten Friday, I have enough content for nine years. At that point, any UTAU that has been released or will be released this year will be old enough to qualify if they fall off the map shortly. As far as Wiki Wednesday, it would take a complete 180 in how the fandom views releasing voicebanks for me to run out of content. There has been a lot of change since 2013 that worries me a tiny bit, but I don't think it's enough of a problem to worry about. One year is only 52 articles per series.

This is another article that I wouldn't write before my decision to just give up hopes on investigations. This UTAU is actually the sidekick to another UTAU that I will write about in the future. But, I'm just a mess and playing with seven banks is a little off the table. So, I'm going to write about this one pitch CV footnote!

Wiki Wednesday #33 - neku's Hughie / ヒューイ

Well, I'm going to feelings dump in the first section. I'd usually do it up here, but I'm really going to go on a little rant. I should just write about the UTAU, but you know, I'm not keeping a high standard here.

Wiki Wednesday #33 - neku's Hughie / ヒューイ

Being bipolar sucks. What just sucks the most is that sometimes it's impossible to read your own moods. Mixed states are a thing, and how do you even treat them? If I up my meds, I turn into a rage monster. If I lower them, I start shaking. Not even mentioning the mental feelings, but literally shaking. Granted, that's not always true. But I felt like my head was going to throw up. I don't know how to describe it other than that. So call me a Karen, but I just thought, maybe doing something that makes me happy will make my brain stop feeling like it will fly out of my skull. So far, it is helping. (Important note, last time I felt this way, it was just a warning for a migraine that kept me in bed for like five hours. Mental illness, guys!)

So, here's another UTAU that I would have saved for an investigation. There's almost no information on him. But, here we go.
