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!

Happy 2022 everyone! It's been a little while since our last post and this is our first one of the year! This year, Ser0 already turned 5 on January 1, which gives us such a nostalgic feeling! However, we didn't have anything prepared for her this year. Instead, we began to change the profile picture of our Twitter account to represent each vocal in their own anniversary month (Canary will be February and Shancha will shift to March since they shared the same month), that way, they'll still have a little something even if no new songs or releases were uploaded. Speaking of Canary and Shancha, this month, their keychains (along with Xiao Naidong) are at a discounted price on our official Ko-Fi shop, so be sure to check it out if you were interested in adding them to your collection! Now for the main point of this post, we released a new cover song for Canary's anniversary, "Dancer in the Dark", which was originally written by fatmanP. The cover was done by Juoruky, the illustration was by Jelly, and the video editing was by neirina. Planning was done by Mina Moonrise and Migi. The cover is also available on our SoundCloud account and Migi's bilibili account. What's more, we are releasing a new CVVC Japanese voicebank for him known as "Voltage". This is a 4-pitch voicebank along with an optional falsetto pitch that was voiced by Mina Moonrise and oto'd by Juoruky, with sample cleaning by NEUTROGIC. This voicebank uses Kimchi-tan's reclist and Canary has a new illustration by Wakiobake! You'll be able to download it on Canary's webpage via Dropbox and Baidu Drive starting today! We hope you enjoy Canary's new content, and if you choose to use him, we hope he brings you great joy!
Thank you very much for all your support! Until next time! 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! Today marks kEna's first anniversary! This year, Feng Quan and Preuss collaborated together on a cover of Giga and Reol's "Hibikase" using KIRA's UST! Feng Quan handled the cover and mixing while Preuss did the illustrations and video editing. The videos are uploaded to Preuss's YouTube, Feng Quan's bilibili, and Migi's bilibili! As usual, since kEna's anniversary is in May, his Love Confessions keychain is discounted at our shop. We haven't written an updated status about our official store, but we are no longer using Storenvy due to issues with accessing it and checking out based on customers' responses. Instead, we have moved to Ko-Fi, which uses Migi's name. There, fans can still purchase the keychains by faynatical and Nekocopicat among other things that aren't related to UTAU or DeepVocal. This offer is only available this month, so if fans were looking to purchase kEna at a cheaper price, now is a good time to do so.
We hope that you enjoy the video! Thank you very much for supporting kEna and the rest of JAE VOCAL PROJECT! After a long wait, Xiao Meihua's CVVChinese voicebanks are now available for both UTAU and DeepVocal! Both are using Risku's voicebank and were voiced by Migi. Ryan-kun developed both versions with some alterations from Feng Quan in regards to the UTAU version. Check out the crossfade below! There's a total of two UTAU demos and four DeepVocal demos. For UTAU, the design remains as the very original by Purpled! However for DeepVocal, she has a whole new look! The design was created by Parapa-kun and the final illustration was done by KUREiiRO! You may have seen this design before a few months ago, but we won't say where from. That's for you to find out for yourself, but we will say that like the other designs, the theme colors are based on the sky. For Mandarin DeepVocal, it's volcanic sky!
After this release, we have no further plans for Meihua at the moment. While we are interested in expanding language capabilities or voicebank styles (formats, multipitching, vocal tones) for her, at the same time, we want to focus on other characters. In the meantime, we hope that you enjoy Meihua's voicebanks until we are ready to create more for her again! We hope you are looking forward to whatever future project we have in store for you! Until next time! There's so many things that are happening for February 2021! For starters, Canary and Xiao Shancha's 2nd anniversaries are taking place. Canary was released on February 2, 2019 and Shancha released on February 16, 2019. Because of this, throughout the whole month of February, customers can purchase Canary's and Shancha's keychains for 20%! If either character was someone you wanted to collect, now would be a good time to do so until the sale expires in March. For Canary, we haven't prepared an anniversary song for him. We do have some interesting plans coming, but they're not ready to be revealed just yet! Instead, we commissioned a piece from E.via and he came out stunning~! For Shancha, we do have something planned for her anniversary but it will not be revealed until February 16. In the meantime, her MMD model was just released by OSformula! The team collaborated with kimchi-tan (tuning) and Starchaser-C (video) in creating the MMD cover video to promote the model! MinaKi worked on the mixing! The song is "Gokuraku Jodo" which was originally performed by GARNiDELiA. Shancha's model is available for download now and the site can be accessed from her own webpage. If you plan to use her, please be sure to follow OSformula's terms of use. Remember that his rules may override our own (for example: if JAE VOCAL PROJECT allows NSFW, but OSformula does not, his rules are in effect, not ours). Lastly, we are sad to announce that Purpled, the manager and voice actress of Ser0 (JAE-02), as well as a longtime illustrator and designer of many of the cast members, has left JAE VOCAL PROJECT. She is interested in creating more of her own works, so she is still in touch with the voice synthesizer community, however, she ceased JAE VOCAL PROJECT activities. We strongly encourage that you continue to support her in her endeavors and we wish her luck! Due to this, the website has been updated to place Purpled under "Former Members" along with bajucy.
If you are curious, Ser0 is still part of JAE VOCAL PROJECT and will still receive merchandise if we come up with any new ones, but she will no longer be receiving any updates or new voicebanks. We hope you still like her as she is and look forward to any plans we may have in regard to songs or items! 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! 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! Within the last two weeks, we released two full cover songs: "Jougen no Tsuki" by Kurousa-P and "Wú Zhònglì Shàonǚ" by T-L-S and Yu Li. "Jougen no Tsuki" was one of Yu Junjie's demos and was covered by kimchi-tan using rifia's UST and was mixed by MinaKi. The song featured nikkeruu's illustration and the video was edited by Preuss. "Wú Zhònglì Shàonǚ" was covered by Migi and mixed by MinaKi. This song featured Xiao Meihua's DeepVocal Sweet vocal, in addition to her DeepVocal Natural vocal, Yi, and Pinku for the harmonies. This upload featured the original video and used the official VSQx. Both songs are also available on SoundCloud and bilibili. Yu Junjie CV Japanese was made available for download on November 13, 2020, so anyone can download and use him if they'd like!
As for Xiao Meihua CVVChinese, we are still expecting another demo before she is able to be released for public use! We hope you are looking forward to her in addition to any other project we have planned! Today is November 13, 2020, which means that we are releasing Yu Junjie! Like Xiao Shancha, he was meant to be a bilingual vocalist capable of singing in Japanese and Mandarin Chinese, however, the Chinese voicebank was halted due to DeepVocal's launch. We prefer that we rerecord him so he could be used in DeepVocal effectively. Junjie was voiced by Providence Polyglot and his character is managed by Migi. While you may know of his default design by Purpled, that is intended for his Chinese voicebank. Since we are releasing his Japanese, MinaKi gave him a new design and the final illustration was by Shi-Yin! For his alternative designs, we decided to base the color schemes on birds. For Japanese, his colors are based on crows and ravens. Without further ado, below is the crossfade for his voicebank release~! There are four songs in all and his voicebank was developed by Purpled! We hope that you like him and be sure to tag us if you decide to use him! We would love to see what people would do with him! As a reminder, be aware that Junjie has a stricter Terms of Use clause compared to the rest of the cast, so please abide by them. If you have any questions, feel free to ask us!
It's been a long four years, nearly five, since Xiao Meihua released and we finally made it to the last member of JAE VOCAL PROJECT~! We currently have no plans to add more, so for now, we hope you enjoy the seven's content! Thank you very much for supporting us all this time! Be sure to check in tomorrow for another video! |
