Wiki Wednesday #136 - 馳音ユト / Yuto Hasene

 I can't fully go one hundred percent in order because I somehow forgot to download one of the UTAUs... and now axfc just won't let me download. What is even with that site?

Wiki Wednesday #136 - usa-utau's 馳音ユト / Yuto Hasene

So, let me tell you what's what at this moment. I'm working on writing all the articles for the usa utau group. I can't post them all in a row because of my spamming single families rule. There's about nine more of these I think? These will just randomly go between other articles. So, other than these usa articles going in the order I wrote them, there's no continuity here. I might post two in one month. I might post one in two months. So, whatever feelings I say I have in them, it will be surrounded by something different. I kind of didn't fully think the situation through, still using these as a diary but having no logical thread of what starts where.

Anyways, there's nothing really to say about this guy.

 I wonder if they wanted him to be Rick.

See, part of the rule about not spamming families is so that we don’t run into a situation where I just have nothing to say because no one in the family has more than five lines of biography.  (I'm sorry about breaking that rule in this time of time crunch.)

Wiki Wednesday #135 - usa-utau's 謎人 / Meito

 I wonder if I made any jokes about tomatoes when I wrote the draft for this.

Wiki Wednesday #135 - usa-utau's 謎人 / Meito

Oh look, it's zombie virus KAITO.

So, since I break these up, and there's no telling when the last usa utau article was, usa utau is a collaborative effort with over one hundred collaborators. 

They are a mixed bag. Sometimes their art is stunning. Sometimes it is bad. Sometimes their characters are compelling. Sometimes they make no sense. You literally never know what you're going to get with them.

Most of the ones I have written about lately are "virtual bodies". They tend to be either viruses, junk data, or hacked copies of vocaloids. Because of that, they tend to be a bit flat as characters. But, you know, sometimes they end up being way more than you expected.

Forgotten Friday #145 - サオリ・ウラスジンスキー / Sao-kun

 The family name isn't romanized anywhere, and the title was looking way too long already.

In the last article I wrote here on Google Docs, I actually was so excited by the UTAU’s design, I typed so fast that I had written nearly a paragraph before it showed up on screen.

This isn’t one of those cases.

Wiki Wednesday #134 - 余音ジュン / Jun Amarine

 I'll probably know in a few articles if I'll be able to, at the very least, get Wiki Wednesday to 2022 before New Years. I have like ten days, I think. Maybe nine. I don't know how to count time.

Wiki Wednesday #134 - usa-utau's 余音ジュン / Jun Amarine

The last usa UTAU article I wrote was insane. There were so many questions, and so little answers. But it ended with me wanting to read a novel about it to learn all those answers in due time. I mean, the novel doesn't exist… but if it did! I'd even take the time to read it in Japanese!

Wait. Why did a woman created in a lab in the European Union, based off of a socialite from the UK, have a Japanese name?! You see the questions that needed answering?!

This isn't one of those cases. There's no questions.

Forgotten Friday #144 - しょぼんぬ。のU-vα / U-va

 I initially did the math to prove I could do this by saying I needed to do six articles a day. Well! I already did six today! But that's no reason to stop. Though, I might stop if I get sleepy after this article. 

Forgotten Friday #144 - しょぼんぬ。のU-vα / U-va

I am trying so hard to figure out how this name was based off of grapes. Well, the Visual Archive says that it’s based off of “ぶどう”. “ぶどう膜炎” means “Uveitis”. 

And… Because I’m allergic to just typing the right thing in to Google, the uvea of the eye is the part where the iris lives. It is named after uva, the Latin word for grape due to its grape like appearance.

My excuse is that my brain is broken. Half of the sentences I say out loud either have the wrong words or I just give up and slur out the last few words.

Hopefully by the time I process this I will be better.

Wiki Wednesday #133 - 灯音フミ / Fumi Tomoshine

 I hope I can be on a roll and get article after article done right now! I apologize for spamming usa-utau at this moment.

Wiki Wednesday #133 - 灯音フミ / Fumi Tomoshine

I first saw the design and thought, wow! I love her! But then I looked closer and I was so confused.

For those who don't know what Usa-utau is, it's a giant mess. A lot of the UTAUs are meant to be references to vocaloids. One is a copy of KAITO that got attacked by a virus. One is a copy of Rin that was given a book. I believe, for the most part, it is an attempt at a collaborative effort. 

This UTAU seems cohesive enough as it was only worked on by two people if the byline on the piapro page is correct. But then again, I see the pentagram and I'm wondering what's going on here.
