Long time, no see! We've got a flurry of news to share here! While we are mostly active on our Twitter accounts, with how things have been going lately, if we don't post within 30 days of the previous post, our account could get shut down. We will try to make an effort to post major updates on our website as well to avoid potential loss of major news. First up, we have a new item in store: an acrylic standee featuring the entire JAE VOCAL PROJECT cast, made in celebration of our group's 5th Anniversary! It stands at around 2.5 inches and the width is around 6 inches. Each of the characters use their default outfits. This standee was designed by Mian; be sure to follow her for more amazing art! Unlike the other pieces of merchandise, this standee will only be available for a limited time and will not be restocked. The pre-order will run until July 1, 2023 at 12 AM USA Eastern Time. But as a special offer, here's what you'll get when you order a standee:
Next is in regards to the MMD models for Xiao Meihua, Ser0, Canary, and Xiao Shancha. We were aware that the download links for them were long broken. After speaking with Orahi, we were given permission to upload the models through our dropbox. That said, the links to the models have been updated on those characters' pages. Please be aware of any changes to his Terms of Use and to follow them accordingly! You also may have noticed that we've shared two new demos for Ser0 featuring her update known as "Ser02"! Ser02 will feature some new individual voicebanks, so we hope you look forward to those! Check out these two demos by Purpled! The first is a cover of "Chimera" by ATOLS, with the UST by half a head. The second is a cover of "Ponzi" by Kyoe. This uses Ser02's Appends "AWARE" and "PASSIVE". Hope you're looking forward to what we have in store for Ser0! Closing this out, May 15 is kEna's birthday! This year marks 3 years since he released on UTAU! We've commissioned Reishichi for his official illustration. Here he is among nature, looking as handsome as ever in this peaceful location! We hope that you enjoy everything we had to show lately! Things have been slowing down for a while now, but rest assured, we are still working on new stuff! Be sure to follow our Twitter to keep track of mini updates like anniversary artwork and songs!
Thank you for all your support! Until next time!

Today marks the 2nd anniversary of JD's original UTAU release! This year, we've created a new keychain in collaboration with faynatical and updated the current line up! It is based on his 1st anniversary outfit, much like how Ser0's is based on her 3rd anniversary. And because it's JD's birthday month, throughout December, you can get his keychains at a discounted price, so take advantage of it while you can! To get your very own and add to your collection, the item link is here! In other news, we regret to announce that the Twitter accounts for Xiao Meihua, Xiao Meiye, Xiao Shancha, and Yu Junjie have officially closed on December 1 this year. It was a difficult decision to make. We've had a lot of fun with the accounts, but as we have more projects to complete and not much time to work on them, it became difficult to manage the side accounts.
Thank you to everyone who supported them after all these years, especially for Meihua's account as it existed before our JAE account and even our website. Remember that she and Ser0 were both released long before it was decided that they and the rest of the cast would be part of a single group. That being said, the both of them carried a good portion of JAE VOCAL PROJECT's history. This concludes today's news. It's rather bittersweet, but we are very thankful for all the support and are always excited to brighten someone else's day! We're not sure if we will have any additional news for the rest of the year, so if not, from the bottom of our hearts, we wish you a wonderful holiday season and a fantastic new year! We hope you all stay safe! 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! It's still hard to believe that it's January and that the first week had already flown by! After January comes February, which means that Valentine's Day is coming up as well! With that in mind, JAE VOCAL PROJECT decided to create new merchandise to reflect the holiday: Love Confessions designed by nekocopicat! This line consists of nine keychains: the seven cast members (Meihua, Ser0, Canary, Shancha, JD, kEna, and Junjie) and the two officially recognized derivatives (Meiye and Naidong)! Each of them have a unique pose and expression while wearing their default clothes, except for Meihua and Canary. Meihua is wearing her Arpasing English outfit while Canary is wearing his Arpasing English Vivid Soft outfit (the voicebank is not released at this time). These acrylic keychains are also holographic, giving a shine at every angle you turn it! To add onto the theme, the clips are shaped as hearts. To order these keychains, visit the JAE VOCAL PROJECT Storenvy located in the navigation bar of our website! If you would like to see these as future stickers, buttons, and other goods via Redbubble, let us know and we'll see what we can do for that if possible!
Like with the previous keychains by Melody, only Meihua, Ser0, Canary, and Shancha will come with the free 25mm buttons by winter. If the seven main cast members (excluding Meiye and Naidong) were purchased, then the postcard by oweruru will be distributed. Both of these are available while supplies last: once they are gone, they will not be restocked! We hope that you like these new keychains! It's a wonder that we can finally add more to the shop compared to some years ago and we're genuinely pleased to share these cute ideas with you all!
As noted in the previous newsletter, a second original song for JD's 1st anniversary was still underway. Now, it's been completed! "Chartreuse" was written by Purpled and the lyrics are completely in a fictional language. Lyrics were provided in the description for the SoundCloud upload!
Like "Broken Mechanics", we are hoping to have a PV completed for "Chartreuse" as well. MinaKi and Purpled worked very hard on their originals and it shows!
In the next few weeks, we still have more content coming! Stay tuned for those!
Can you believe that one year ago, JD was released? We can hardly believe it ourselves! To celebrate, the team coordinated an original song just for him! "Broken Mechanics" was written by MinaKi and uses an illustration by Purpled as the thumbnail for SoundCloud. There is no video for it yet, but rest assured that we are in the process of creating one!
The song uses JD's CV Japanese voicebank, but the lyrics are in English. Check the SoundCloud description for them!
This isn't the only thing we've got planned... but you'll have to wait and see about that!
We hope that you enjoy the song! Thank you for supporting JD and JAE VOCAL PROJECT all these years! We hope to see you again soon! JAE VOCAL PROJECT has an official Redbubble shop now! There, purchased goods are produced by the vendor and directly ship to you! For now, you'll see the familiar designs by winter in addition to a few doodle samples from Migi! More designs are to come! As for our Storenvy, it was initially closed due to COVID-19. However, since Redbubble can produce buttons, we are retiring the ones that were available through Storenvy. Our Storenvy shop will only serve to offer products that cannot be produced by Redbubble (keychains, different shaped buttons, etc.). The shop will be reopened once we have new items available! To access Redbubble, hover over the "Shops" tab and it will appear in a dropdown menu!
Thank you for reading! We hope you enjoy the products available!
The full version of one of JD's demo songs, "Nemophila" is now released on YouTube, SoundCloud, and bilibili! The song was originally written by NanitozoP in 2013 and the official video distributed a UST for it, which we have used in this demo. The cover and mixing was done by MinaKi, the art was illustrated by Ouji, and the video was completed by Preuss!
This is the third song of JD's demos that have full versions available online! We hope that you enjoyed all three of them!
Please expect more things to come from JAE VOCAL PROJECT very soon! We have something special to show next Friday, May 15! We hope you would be looking forward to then! See you soon! The full version of "Yuragi", one of JD's demos, is now here! The cover, mixing, and video editing was handled by TraInspud while the official art from Purpled was presented in the video. "Yuragi" was written by niki in 2010! More works from JAE VOCAL PROJECT is to be expected soon! Please enjoy this cover in the meantime! We hope to see you again in April!
