#mirai komachi vocaloid

[t-w-i-l-l-e-r]

ok so this is probably the only non-reblog tumblr post i’ll ever make in the entirety of my natural life but if the world goes on w/o knowing anything about mirai komachi I will BURST.

Mirai Komachi is this vocaloid (see below) made for the VOCALOID4 engine by Bandai Namco Studios, a Japanese video game development company that is a subsidiary of Bandai Namco Entertainment which ITSELF is a subsidiary of Bandai Namco Holdings ANYWAY

from what i can gather she was kind of an accident? the vocaloid wiki describes her as an “experimental female vocal not originally meant for commercial release” which to me implies “accident”. either way they made this vocaloid n then just. released her. No announcement, no advertising, nothing. “come get y’all orange juice”, Bandai Namco said. And, unsurprisingly, very few people did. mirai komachi is a relatively obscure vocaloid, even (from what i can tell PLZ correct me if i’m wrong) in the jp community and ESPECIALLY in the english community. Minnemi’s “Every VOCALOID Described In One Word” video give mirai komachi the word “who?”. She’s not even mentioned on her parent company’s wikipedia page. only the most completionist of the completionist vocaloid nerds (me) even rly know of her existence, much less her lore. 

yeah thats right her lore. this girlie has lore!!! her origin is that this doctor guy named Hakase (yeah they have names n everything) was doing some kind of experiment that got fucked up so explosion BOOM mirai komachi appears (BTW "mirai komachi” is her name. Like, the whole thing. komachi is written in kanji while mirai is written in katakana which implies mirai is the given name and it’s just written in the western order but her website refers to her explicitly as Mirai Komachi and in an email Bandai Namco stated that mirai is neither her given or family name. Technically in most official english source material they refer to her as MiraiKomachi. weird). after she appeared in the explosion she became a researcher at Bandai Namco studios women in stem girlboss. anyway Hakase n these little robots he made r considered her sidekicks n they have a whole lil comic series of their misadventures that I CANNOT find any english translations of and it kills me. 

but either way my point is considering her lack of popularity its kind of wild how much content there is of her???? she has a youtube page w/ a bunch of original songs, almost all of which have official english subtitles and are on spotify (which is pretty rare for lesser known vocaloids n if they r there they r certainly hard 2 find). the official MiraiKomachi website is super well made and has a bunch of illustrations, an official mirai komachi 3d model, and the comics i mentioned earlier. she’s been on a bunch of japanese public transport stuff (which isnt that uncommon 4 jp vocaloids) n has this absurd but cute video collaboration with Jammu like. shes there!! shes got stuff!!!

(this whole post is rly just a manifestation of the fact that vocaloid is a very international multilingual community n the nature of very international multilingual communities is every once in a while u will stumble across an aspect of this community that u r theoretically “part of” that is completely in a language that u dont speak or in a physical location that u cannot access n ur just like “huh. there are entire aspects of this thing i care about that i will never fully understand and subcommunities that i will rarely ever interact with even if i spend actual years obsessing over that thing.” this has been existential fandom hour brought to you by staring too long at the vocaloid wikis)

uhhh anyway tl;dr mirai komachi is cute n i wish i could read japanese

Mirai Komachi is a japanese synth developed by bandi namco, and released on 24 may 2018. her voice provider has not been revealed but shes illustrated Hiroshi Ono (who is specifically listed as having drawn her "dot arts" on the vocaloid wikia ? im not sure what thats supposed to mean but theres no other illustrated listed). mirais character birthday is feb 22. she was originally created to showcase bandis "future-oriented technology research"(mirais official website) and game development. she has been announced to be in development for bandis "ELMIRAIVE VOX and Singer" engine, specifically the "vox" part, a speech synth (with her cousin IVE, and a synth called YUKITAN being in development for the singer part).

Bochi Munashine is an unreleased japanese synth, introduced in 2012. she is a vipperloid, so created by users of the japanese website 2Channel. i do not know who voiced or illustrated bochi

Skill retention is a lie and a scam--what do you mean there are things I was better at when I was 12 than I am now?

As a character, Mirai Komachi's main purpose is to act as a mascot to showcase Bandai Namco Studio's technological research. She was initially used for in-house demonstrations and conferences, and her VOCALOID4 voicebank was not originally intended for public, commercial release.

This may be a factor in why Mirai Komachi had no demo songs or announcement prior to her release.

Round 2, Match 40

[vocal android au]

ok people were asking for komachi so I chugged some caffeine and now I got all this

so in this au Mirai Komachi is a seemingly-normal lady that heads an organization called the Happiness and Peace of Mind Committee. she’s a friendly woman who just wants to spread happiness and ends up befriending Miku - but it turns out to be a trap and Komachi completely reprograms her into a perfect “happiness idol” and makes Miku use her influence to try and brainwash the city into becoming eternally happy - because what could be better than a world full of happiness?

which leaves Rin and Len in a pickle because crap, they really need to stop this but what are they going to do about Miku?? can they even beat Komachi without her??

 bochi is an utau vipperloid that never had a vb released, however a sample of her voice can be found online. she was first introduced in 2012, making her as old as her character age (11) 

 mirai is a Vocaloid released on may 24th 2018, but her character birthday is today. she was developed by bandi namco studio. her voice actor is unrevealed. she had almost no marketing and was only known to exist when she was released. she is the first Vocaloid from bandi 

 I had one other slide but it didn't fit </3 

 it's a bit late at night but I was busy today
