Today is Xiao Meihua's fifth anniversary! This year, we've uploaded a new cover of "Karakuri Pierrot", originally written by 40mP! The cover was handled by Mina Moonrise with illustrations by 02Kase-chan! This uses the VSQx by Mark LawX and the harmony vocals feature our affiliate from The StarRise Project: Seishi Starchaser! The cover is available on YouTube and bilibili! In the PV, you'll also notice cameos of Ser0, Xiao Shancha, JD, kEna, and Yu Junjie! Unfortunately, Canary couldn't make it, but we'll find a way to make it up to him for sure!
In addition, since it's June, all Xiao Meihua and Xiao Meiye keychains are on sale for the month! Please check out our official Ko-Fi shop if you're are interested in obtaining either character! Thank you very much for supporting Meihua after all these years! JAE VOCAL PROJECT has come a long way since then and we hope it shows!

A long while ago, Migi provided Miis of the JAE VOCAL PROJECT cast for the 3DS and WiiU. Now, with the new re-release of Miitopia for the Nintendo Switch, Migi provided updated Miis with the new wig and make-up styles available in this version! Like the previous versions, these are his own interpretations of the characters and is not meant to be the official canon. It is entirely optional to use them and everyone is entitled to creating their very own if they would like to! If you are interested in using any of them, use the following code to import them: 8GGJBT. To watch them in action, Migi has began streaming on Twitch and YouTube. All videos are archived on his new YouTube Channel that's dedicated strictly for streaming and non-vocal synthesis use. Check it out here!
Affiliate characters are also present in the game, but will not be accessible. Like JAE VOCAL PROJECT, these are only Migi's interpretations and are not official. There are some who are currently not available in the gameplay but will be in the future. The only affiliate who is distributed is Reicheru Nintone. Her owner actually made the Mii available on Twitter! We hope you like them and enjoy using them yourselves if you'd like! If you've been following the official twitter accounts lately, then you've probably noticed that a few new Xiao Meihua re-covers have been springing up on bilibili and YouTube. In addition, a VOCALOID cover of Tora☆Ouji's "Split Personality" (originally featuring Xiao Meihua) was also uploaded. These works were by Chinese UTAU and VOCALOID user Feng Quan (also known as Juoruky)! After some conversations and meeting the JAE VOCAL PROJECT crew, Feng Quan officially became one of our affiliates! The works mentioned earlier are listed below! Today, Migi uploaded a new cover and demo song for StarRise Project's DeepVocal character: Novallus Moondancer! Novallus is the second vocal entry of the series and would be released later in the year. The song was a cover of "Star Mate", which was originally written by 40mP. MinaKi was credited for the mixing, Parapa-kun handled the illustrations, and dzktd was the video editor. The UST was created by lanttu. This demo is available on YouTube, SoundCloud, and bilibili. In the PV and harmonies, Seishi Starchaser, Xiao Meiye, and a new character were featured (while X-Y-R-3-N was a visual cameo only). This new character is Xiao Naidong, Meiye's younger brother! This cover used DeepVocal voicebanks only, so Xiao Shancha and Meihua were both adjusted in the GEN parameters of the software to achieve "Naidong and Meiye's voices".
More information about Naidong is available on our website and on UTAU Wiki. Like the other characters, fans can also download his official Mii for the Nintendo systems. We hope you enjoy the video and Naidong! Until next time! JAE VOCAL PROJECT is excited to announce that we have a new affiliate after mutual discussion: Crusher and her vocal synth character Maki Watase! Maki was introduced as an UTAU character and later developed for DeepVocal! She's been available to the public for a very long time and made her debut in 2009, which was over 10 years ago!
We are very honored to have Crusher as an affiliate and looking to working with her in future! In the meantime, please feel free to view Maki's website, UTAU, and DeepVocal wikis for more information and usages!
A new update for Xiao Meihua's Chinese voicebank is in the works! Almost a year ago, we've released her CV+VV voicebank for UTAU, but with the arrival of DeepVocal, things needed to change. Her CV+VV voicebanks could not be ported to DeepVocal without facing potential issues, so it was decided that she would be using Risku's CVVChinese reclist instead!
Her first demo for this update features her Natural DeepVocal voicebank. It's a cover of "心上秋" by litterzy, with the lyrics written by 冉语优. The cover was done by Migi and the mixing was completed by Mina.Ki. The harmonies were sung by JAE VOCAL PROJECT's Canary and Xiao Shancha, in addition to affiliate Tora☆Ouji's Pinku and a guest vocal: Yi. Yi is a male Mandarin Chinese and Japanese DeepVocal from Dream Vocal Project, and was added as a needed Mandarin harmony track. The demo features the original video and the description lists the entire staff for the song, so please check it out when you can! It's available on YouTube, SoundCloud, and bilibili!
This update is expected to have four DeepVocal demos and two UTAU demos in all! We hope you are looking forward to them!
As for any other Chinese voicebanks, we hope to have Xiao Shancha and Yu Junjie use this reclist as well. Their original CV+VV voicebanks will be scrapped in the meantime. We have yet to record either vocalist. There are so many interesting projects coming up soon; many of which are JAE VOCAL PROJECT related! Please consider following the team members on their social medias and media platforms so you don't miss a thing! Yesterday, we uploaded a new video showing Canary's MMD model in action! The video uses Mina.Ki's cover of "Alien Alien" from last year, StarChaser-C had been so kind to help render the video for this demonstration! The proper MMD credits are all in the video description, so please view it if you wish to know who did what! That's all we have for now! Until next time!
Taking a small break from the excitement surrounding JD's upcoming release, a new video has surfaced!
NebulousViper covered "π" by Janus, and featured the vocals of Xiao Shancha, Canary, Seishi Starchaser, and Xiao Meihua! This cover uses their DeepVocal voicebanks, so this is considered an unofficial demo for Meihua and Shancha. The mixing was done by karasuhana, the art was done by Devsies, and the video editing was done by DIVINITY! The VSQx was supplied by Janus.
Shancha's DeepVocal voicebanks is a direct port of her UTAU voicebank. This means that it is CV Japanese. We are aware that there is risk by doing this, since DeepVocal does not tend to favor CV. The reason why we are releasing this voicebank is because we do not know when we would be working on Shancha again. We would rather release something for her now than wait a long time for something later.
This cover uses Meihua's Sweet voicebank. For DeepVocal and for her next update for her Japanese UTAU voicebank, she would be receiving two voicebanks: Natural and Sweet; just like her Mandarin and English packages. The voicebanks are CVVCV like Canary's. The DeepVocal version would be releasing first. The sisters are expected to release together, but we are unsure if they would be available in late 2019 or some time in early 2020. Please keep in mind that the designs in the "Pi" video are not meant to represent their final DeepVocal outfits. Those would be revealed upon release. The next time we'll see you all is on December 6 for JD's UTAU release! For now, we hope you enjoy this cover! See you on Friday! Rvelvoid, one of our affiliates, recently released Hirai Ike's DeepVocal voicebank for his 7th anniversary! The crossfade consists of three songs: an original by DystoP, a short cover of "lili." by ewe, and a cover of "7/8" by Yuyoyuppe. Both covers were done by RottenVelvet, the owner of Rvelvoid. His voicebank was developed by DystoP. Download for Ike's voicebank was made available in the description! The members of JAE VOCAL PROJECT would like to congratulate Ike and RottenVelvet for his release! His new design is so handsome and we are pleased to see new content for our affiliates!
The time has come to reveal the final design for Xiao Meihua English!
But first things first, JAE VOCAL PROJECT showed the third demo for her vocals. It's a cover of "Copycat" by CircusP and features her Natural voicebank. The cover and mixing was done by SlightlyShredded. The artwork was handled by Crispy6usiness and the video was done by DIVINITY. Special thanks were given to Pandora, who assisted with the video a little!
If you've seen the video, you may recognize or wonder about the ladies shown in the reflections of the mirror. Two of them are from the JAE VOCAL PROJECT cast: Ser0 and Xiao Shancha! The other two are affiliates: Nazo Eima from Rvelvoid in purple and Nintone Reicheru by StarGamer01 in yellow! If you are interested in these characters, please see Ser0 and Shancha's webpages as well as the "Affiliates" dropdown menu for Eima and Reicheru!
As you can see, the video acts as a design reveal for this voicebank! Meihua's English design draws inspiration from dawn and sunset for the color palette. It is a fancier style compared to her default Chinese design! The final illustration was done by Riisago! The concept was done by Purpled!
Meihua English still has one song left as a demo, but we'll be doing things a little differently this time. Rather than release the full song, we are planning to incorporate it into the crossfade video first as a preview! After that, we will release the full PV!
Right now, we don't really have a solid release date at the moment, but we are still hoping for Autumn 2019! Depending on the workload, we might be able to release her in late September! We encourage you to follow our twitter (@JaeVocalProject) so you don't miss out! We have so many projects to show you all and we're hoping to reveal them within this year! |
