It's been a wonderful two years (going on three) for Xiao Meihua and it's about time that the members of JAE UTAU PROJECT gave her an update! If you'll recall, Xiao Meihua only had one voicebank for the Mandarin Chinese language. For her new update, she will be receiving two voicebanks: Natural and Sweet. Natural would resemble her original Mandarin voicebank while Sweet would resemble her original Japanese voicebank, and there's been improvements in clarity and pronunciation overall. This update is likely to be dubbed Xiao Meihua Mandarin 2.0, but is subject to change.
For now, we have one demo uploaded for her Sweet voicebank! "愛的物語" (also known as "Love Story") written by H+ was chosen to be her first demo for the new update. The cover was done by Tora Ouji, illustrated by glitchyprism, and our very own SlightlyShredded did the video editing! bajucy is credited as special thanks due to their work on developing Meihua's updated voicebanks and was originally the person meant to cover this song with her. However, as mentioned on their entry on the team pages, bajucy's last contribution to the JAE UTAU PROJECT was Meihua's Mandarin 2.0 updates. We could not have this without them and we are very grateful for their hard work! This demo can be seen on YouTube and on SoundCloud. It will be uploaded to bilibili later on.
We hope you like the outcome of Meihua's Sweet voicebank so far!
If you're curious to know if Meihua would also receive updates to her Japanese voicebanks, we are happy to say that we are planning to do that, however, details cannot be shared at the moment. We are still in the planning and development stage for that. For now, please look forward to more demos of Xiao Meihua Mandarin 2.0!

As you may have known, Xiao Meihua had a LipSync model that was once available on PRISMkidd's old DeviantART account. As their old account was deactivated due to moving to their current account, so was the download for her LipSync model. After asking PRISMkidd, we are happy to confirm that JAE UTAU PROJECT is allowed to host the download for the model! Not only that, PRISMkidd had also created a LipSync model for Ser0 by commission a few months ago. As there was no official upload at the time, we did not add it to the website. Now you can download this model from us as well. You can find Meihua's and Ser0's LipSync models on their character pages within the "Other Assets" section!
If you do plan to use these models, please follow PRISMkidd's rules and terms of use found in the read.me of each zipped folder. Don't forget to credit them properly! And of course, have fun! If you use them, please show us your work as we would all love to see it! The JAE UTAU PROJECT website has undergone another update. This update mainly focuses on consolidation and ease of access. Here's a breakdown of what's changed! 1. You may have noticed that we now have a "What is UTAU?" section on the home page at the bottom. We've included it just in case someone unfamiliar with UTAU happens to stumble upon the website. We find that it's an important inclusion for this matter. In addition, we've also removed the spacing in between the sections. 2. As you look at the navigation bar above, you'll notice that the "Downloads" and "Featured Works" pages are no longer there. In addition, "Contact" is renamed to "Contact and Links". All of the downloads have been moved to the respective character pages. Directly underneath the character information, you will find the section for voicebank downloads. They're styled exactly the same as they were from the old "Downloads" page. It's much less confusing now that the voicebanks are found on the corresponding character's webpage! As Xiao Meihua is currently the only one with public assets, we've also moved these to her character page underneath her voicebank downloads! You can now find both her MMD model by OSformula and LipSync model by PRISMkidd there. However, the LipSync model is currently not available for download. Whether or not the link would be available again remains to be seen so please consider it to be subject to change until further notice. 3. Lastly, the "Featured Works" page's content has been moved and combined with the "Contact" page. This has been renamed to "Contact and Links" respectively. All featured works are found on the left and contacts are found on the right. That's all for the website update! We hope you find this change to be easier and useful compared to the previous version!
You may remember one of Xiao Meihua's Japanese demos and original song "二重人格" (Split Personality) composed by the amazing Tora Ouji. This song was uploaded onto SoundCloud in November 2015 and was made available in his album "In One Million Years..."! This year, the song was given a PV version! The PV was illustrated by the wonderful Chai-spices and put together by our very own Purpled! You can watch the PV on YouTube and on bilibili. We hope you enjoy it! Check out the song's entry on UtauLyrics Wikia!
As you can see here, we've recently added a blog onto the website to serve as a newsletter! Here, you can read all of the latest updates that's been going on with JAE UTAU PROJECT from demos, some usages, new affiliates, new art, models, and more! Certain things might not be covered and may be posted onto twitter instead though, so it's recommended that you follow Meihua's twitter and subscribe to this blog! You can subscribe by submitting your email in the top right corner of the banner. The banner uses a lovely illustration by PoisonicPen! Aside from that, we've also added Canary in the character list! You can read all about him and view his character there! It's been mentioned before, but we've also added some new affiliates! JAE UTAU PROJECT is now affiliated with these lovely UTAUs: Pinku, Reicheru Nintone, the Rvelvoids, and the StarRise Project! Hover over the "Affiliates" tab for a dropdown list of each UTAU and their websites! Actually, Reicheru recently got her latest voicebank released a few days ago: Reicheru Nintone Switch!
