Firstly, the members of JAE VOCAL PROJECT would like to wish a Happy New Year to everyone! 2020 is going to be exciting, and if you'll recall, Ser0's anniversary is on January 1! She was released three years ago on 2017! SlightlyShredded, Purpled, and OneThoughtRemains collaborated together to create "Shatter", an original just for Ser0! SlightlyShredded handled the composition and mixing, Purpled did the lyrics, tuning, and video, and OneThoughtRemains drew the illustration. The song could be viewed through YouTube, bilibili, and SoundCloud. The information and lyrics are available through UTAU Lyrics Wiki and VocaDB! Everyone worked tremendously hard and we hope it shows! The fun doesn't end there though! In addition to a new song, Purpled also illustrated a stunning anniversary outfit for Ser0! She's rocking a new style in a new dress, hairdo, and boots! As much as we didn't want to bring this up on her anniversary, this is relevant. We would only be able to host this image on this post and on UTAU Wiki. This is because, as of recently, we are no longer running on Weebly's starter plan. This will mean that the site may be seeing changes over time to accommodate this shift, but we will be doing our best to save as much content as we can and are considering other options!
Other than that, we still have many more things to come very soon! Be prepared for that! For now, please enjoy the new song and design, and we wish Ser0 a Happy Anniversary!

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! Official Miis of the JAE UTAU PROJECT characters have been created by Migi and are now added to the website! You can find the QR codes in the "Other Assets" sections of the character pages! These can be imported to the 3DS and WiiU systems, and you can use them for your own adventures! You'll notice that many of the characters do not have the correct hair or eye colors. These were done on Mii Maker, which only have a small number of colors for hair, eyebrows, and eyes. However, some games allow players to customize colors. Migi has Tomodachi Life and Miitopia, two games for the 3DS. Tomodachi Life allows the player to change the haircolor and Miitopia has custom colors for hair, eyebrows, and eyes. QR codes for these games can be distributed if there is a demand for it. On the note for the Nintendo Switch however, the characters would have to be made from scratch as there is currently no way to exchange Miis unless players are nearby each other or if a Mii was saved to an amiibo. If this changes in the future, these would certainly be added to the website!
For now, we hope you enjoy the Miis and bring them with you for delightful adventures! JAE UTAU PROJECT now has an official store open on Storenvy! You can find the link up in the navigation bar on the right. This will take you directly to our shop! As of today, you can purchase 25mm buttons of the first four JAE UTAU characters: Xiao Meihua, Ser0, Canary, and Xiao Shancha! These buttons were illustrated by winter (hyoujisama)! If you purchase all four, you can receive a free postcard illustrated by oweruru! We hope to present more merchandise of our UTAU some time soon, but we are truly pleased with these adorable buttons! We hope you like them if you choose to purchase them!
Thank you for your support in advance! If you've been a long-time follower of the JAE UTAU PROJECT, you may know that the cast consists of seven characters. Only six had their own pages on the website. Now, the missing UTAU finally has his own page: JD! As you can see in the example above, JD doesn't have a character image uploaded. This is because official art hasn't been finished for him yet. However, this doesn't mean that fans can't see him!
On the homepage, you'll notice Meihua and Ser0 along with a boy with brown hair and eyes, as well as a red and white top. This is JD! He has been on the website since the beginning. In fact, JD received many pieces of art through commissions over the years! He is just as old as Meihua and Ser0 are! But with many projects to come for the JAE UTAU PROJECT, it's undecided when he would be released. He, kEna, and Yu Junjie are the last vocals of the series to make their debut, but when they do, we hope you'll look forward to them! A new MMD model for Ser0 has been created and released! Like Xiao Meihua, this model was created by OSformula. Now you can use the model for illustrations and videos! You will be able to find the link to the model's webpage in the "Other Assets" section of Ser0's page. If you choose to use OSformula's Ser0 model, please follow the rules in the read.me!
We currently do not have a video of the model in action yet but it will be coming soon! For now, please enjoy and have fun with the model! 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! |
