Clarifications On The New Vocaloid From AH-Software (Updated)
First of all I would like to apologize on the misinformation brought about by the article earlier regarding the new Vocaloid which will be released by AH-Software and any inconveniences resulting from that. I am sorry about that.
Update on Aug 21st: Further clarifications made, “Rio” is NOT the official name of the Vocaloid, her name is still not known currently.
An interview was recently carried out with a staff member from AHS in which the following information was corrected and listed as below.
1) The YouTube video showing the new Vocaloid’s song demos over at the Comiket 78 event is only an image, KEI’s kittyler Rio is NOT the official illustration for the new Vocaloid. Kittyler Rio is part of another collaboration known as “Kitty to Issho!”.
2) The new Vocaloid’s official illustration will NOT be done by KEI but by another illustrator who’s not yet announced at the moment.
3) The reason for the collaboration between Sanrio and AHS is simply due to Sanrio having its 50th anniversary and AHS choosing Sanrio in a random selection for the Vocaloid collaboration.
Additional information to add: The new Vocaloid’s public showing is officially set to be in September with the sales of the software starting in October.
Thanks so much to Aster for pointing out on the clarifications.
The original article has since been edited accordingly to reflect the corrections. >____<;;
Thank god! I don’t know what I would have done if we’d a hello kitty themed vocaloid! Of course, she’ll always have that link to hello kitty, like how Black Rock Shooter will always be linked to Miku.
what a rellief, that vocaloid looked terrible… >_<
Is her name still Rio, even if the Kitty'er named Rio isn't her character design?
I was afraid everyone was starting use KEI to illustrate just because they think their Vocaloid would sell more.
She looked cute… but yeah… glad we’re not getting a Hello Kittyloid.
I just read the post on VO about this.
Thank god.
Thank goodness, Rio looked exactly like Lily except with a different outfit… I was pretty pissed 0__0
i thought that Lily was the newest vocaloid who will be released in I think 5 days?
I was under the impression that Rio wasn’t even going to be her name, either.
How do you know it's going to be female?
I think everyone was a little confused about this one at first. Its good to have some definite information now.
Exactly; I don't think "Vocaloid Rio" exists; it's Vocaloid what's-the-name.
We would be waiting for more information as well as confirmation on that when the news arrives eventually.
I agree.
@Aster: Yes, you are right. Thanks so much for the enlightenment. All related articles have since been edited.
