Forgotten Friday #91 - 病音ゼン / Zen Yamaine

I had been going on with Wiki Wednesday so far out, that I had not realized I skipped a week. To skip a week would throw off the alignment with Forgotten Friday articles. So, I said, "oh no." I then fixed the dates. Unfortunately, articles that say things like "First issue of 2021!" will be incorrect. I could fix that, but I must put ducks in a line before I criticize the line. And yes, I am so deeply tired at this moment. 

Forgotten Friday #91 - 病音ゼン / Zen Yamaine

Good news! This UTAU has several banks! (yay!) Bad news. Only one can be found. (no...) As opposed to linking to the banks in the videos, the creator of the banks, JoouChiyanmon, explicitly only posted links to the UTAU Fandom page. And the UTAU Fandom page only has the Act 1. This is sad, as I can tell the Act 2 was very loved, with updates to it as in 2+. I wish I could find it, but that's life I guess. There are many UTAU fish in the UTAU lake.

It's unwise to look everywhere for things that were not meant to be shared... Though I did.

Wiki Wednesday #80 - 桃李モン / Toori Mon

1/2. Whoo-hoo! I finally rolled a low number! Yesterday, I rolled extremely poorly and couldn't keep up. Today, I should be able to catch up... And I will show that computer dice who goes nyoom nyoom!

Wiki Wednesday #80 -  桃李モン / Toori Mon

Let me start by saying that I need to make an effort to write the articles almost immediately after downloading. Banks just sitting around don't make the issue - voice providers releasing new ones is the issue! I have to wait for a specific time to download the new banks, which means that UTAU, once again, doesn't get looked at. There was even one in my spreadsheet that I apparently never even downloaded one bank for. What's up with that?

This is another collective UTAU. By which I mean, this UTAU belongs to 森のほとり. However, she is so important, she gets her very own spot in the header that sits atop every page. Good for her! 

So anyway, here we go.

Forgotten Friday #90 - 黒い音ミツコ / Mitsuko Kuroine

It's unfortunate when someone falls on 9/11 when you don't mean for it to. This is being written in June. I'm not sure how reverent I'm supposed to be? I feel like I should be reverent. But, I'm just going to pretend that this article doesn't come out on that day. It has to for bookkeeping purposes, but ya know.

Forgotten Friday #90 - 黒い音ミツコ / Mitsuko Kuroine

I feel like I should recognize this UTAU, but I don't. She was updated until late 2011 and started off in 2010. 

So, uh... I guess let's go?

Wiki Wednesday #79 - kasiranelibrary's エリオ / Erio

3/5. I got so annoyed this morning when I rolled the dice. Five again?! I honestly thought about switching to a d3 die instead of a d6 die, because that's silly! That's one below the maximum two days in a row! And I rolled it twice each time and... Maybe, just maybe, Google has a wonky thing set up with their dice and stuff. Trying to make DnD players like it more? Or should I find a physical dice? Maybe in the future if this idea continues.

Wiki Wednesday #79 - kasiranelibrary's エリオ / Erio

Well, this is a strange backstory. I mean, I do kind of have to vamp for a bit because of the fact that the backstory does not go in this section. Oh my goodness, I am simultaneously so burning up and so freezing. I'm sick. My mental state can guard me from illness, but the moment it is gone, it is bye-bye feeling well. My throat is icky, my head is icky, my skin feels two extremes and neither is nice. If I turn off the heater, I become cold and sweaty. I leave the heater on... and I still feel chilled. This is no fun at all. I am writing this during Spring. As a child, I truly loved Spring. I loved just laying in the grass and braiding clovers.

But now? I spend nearly the entire time sick. Don't worry - it's not the virus. Just the same allergies I've lived with for years. I can't even say that it was better in Los Angeles, because when I was really sad, I got really sick. Never with a fever or vomiting, so some may take objection to label my severe seasonal allergies as a sickness. But I feel sick. Unwell and shaking. Why am I taking the time to do this in sickness? Because it makes me feel good to be uncomfortable doing something as opposed to being uncomfortable doing nothing.

Forgotten Friday #89 - 草音フキ / Fuki Kusane

If y'all wouldn't mind, would you post your favorite song from your mother language in the comments? I want to start making lists and videos with languages I am not familiar with, but I have no idea where to start looking for songs and such! You can also post your favorite songs from other languages, also if you like! For example, "Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko" is in Tagalog, but it's one of my favorite songs ever. 

Forgotten Friday #89 - 草音フキ / Fuki Kusane

So, I almost lost my dang mind over something silly. (I'm exaggerating!) This UTAU has one available bank, and it was made in 2012. Now, how in the heck you're going to tell me that this bank hasn't appeared on YouTube once, even after it was released?! The last video was from seven years ago!

But then I stopped and realized something. "2020 - 2012 = 8". Oh. I... Wow. That's insane. Once you get to adult age, years all mash together and you get shocked when like three years ago is actually eight years ago. Dang... I mean, seeing that 2010 was ten years ago doesn't bug me. But 2012 being eight years ago?! It's simple math, but it feels wrong.

Wiki Wednesday #78 - 秋葵ネリ / Okura Neri

2/5. Please don't make jokes about when September ends to the man who makes the lead vocals for the band Green Day, because it is a sad song written about a sad thing that makes him sad. If no one said anything about the first day of October, he would be very happy. Many people still say those things. It's not very nice, but people are human beings and I think he is resigned. That's not very fun and happy, which people assumed their jokes would be.

Wiki Wednesday #78 - 秋葵ネリ / Okura Neri

Okra!! This UTAU is based off of okra! So, my family actually did very poorly at introducing me to Southern foods. One side of the family was very prepackaged meals and canned food, and the other loved things like spaghetti and enchiladas. I've never eaten homemade fried chicken. However, there were Southern things that got slid in like fried okra. I love love love fried okra. The slime-y and the squishy and the seeds that go pop! pop!

Once I was having dinner with someone and they started saying that they knew a way too cook okra so that it wasn't slimy, and it took all of me to not tell them to shut their dumb mouth... the slime is the best part!! (If you dislike the slime, your mouth is not dumb. That person in particular said it as if hating the slime was a universal condition, when it is not.)

Forgotten Friday #88 - 水歌ナツ / Mizuka Natsu

Let me start by saying that AXFC is a freaking jerk. I use adblock, and the site doesn't limit me because of it. Which is great, because it had the worst ads to show up on a family computer years ago. Ya know, when there stopped being random popups of real people, but the anime characters made it even worse? No idea if that's gotten better. No, the reason it's a jerk is because you can try to download a file ten times, and then come back an hour later and it downloads the first time. And it's not that it's an old server or anything. They just recently added "ape" and "pepper". So, if anyone can explain why the files just randomly go to different servers that don't want to work... Like, it's a problem.

Forgotten Friday #88 - 水歌ナツ / Mizuka Natsu

Natsu has her own distribution page! Hurrah! And she has a biography that states more than her outfit!
