Time for the monthly features for April! Sorry I’m a good while late in posting this, but I’ve been quite busy with my job, among other things. But here we go…


Song Features


Dreaming Little Bird cover by akiharatsukisa

Strong in the Real Way cover by Purin

WILDFIRE!! cover by SCARYCHEWINGGUM

This seems to be Pukichan’s first use of UTAU! I’m really honored you chose to use Aiko, and welcome to the fandom! ;v;/

Another first-time UTAU user! It takes guts to jump right into a language other than Japanese, and you did a good job! Thanks for using Aiko!!

A rare use of Akiko! Thanks, Uta-D00d! 



Kokoro cover by Uta-D00d

Uta-D00d was very active in using Kikyuunes this past month. Thank you so much, I’m really happy you like Aiko and Akiko ;v; (but please keep in mind what I said about crediting for artwork, it’s important!)

One last track from Uta-D00d! Thanks again for using Aiko so much, I’m happy you like her ;o;

New Reference Sheet

by Leave a Comment

Last news post for the day I think: I forgot to mention I updated Aiko’s reference sheet!

This is one of 3 design references that will be included in her new voicebanks (the others being her alt/winter design, and Akio)

You may notice that the blue in her hair has changed a bit in this image and in her official arts uploaded to deviantART; while you can feel free to continue to draw her with any shade of blue hair (she’s quite open to interpretation really) I’m just trying out some different things in coloring her as of late. Website/banner artwork will be updated eventually to match the newer coloring!

March Features

by Leave a Comment

It’s time for another monthly feature roundup for March!

Aaaaaand: from now on, I’ll be including Soundcloud results! They apparently added a monthly search without me knowing with the latest design overhaul, go figure.

Song Features

OBEY cover by Choccoleit

Choccoleit is back with another awesome CrusherP cover and English UST release: “OBEY”! Thanks so much!!





Crystalline cover by MimsyCola

MimsyCola also has a CrusherP/CIRCRUSH English UST release this time around: Crystalline!



Crystalline (VIOLENT M4N6A REMIX) remix by Joshua Manga
In collaboration with MimsyCola, we also have an awesome heavy electro-rock remix of “Crystalline” by Joshua Manga!



Verticale original by DystoP/Adlez27

DystoP’s contribution to the STRATOSPHERE compilation album! They did such an amazing job, I ADORE their lyrics work~



Peony original by Zansatsu Ousatsu

Another original song for Aiko by Zansatsu Ousatsu, it’s pretty creepy sounding and I really love the spooky repeating part that starts around 1:55.

Idola Circus cover by Hikari Takahashi

Here’s a three-singer cover featuring Aiko, Camila and Mitzuki!



Bang Bang cover by annalrk
And another three-person cover with Aiko, Kumi and Mimi! Love this song so much~



ECHO chorus mix by Animedrawing_cute
Really interesting mix of a bunch of different Vocaloid/UTAU covers of ECHO into one video!



Alice in Musicland cover by SailorChiiMoon
What a whopper of a cover: Alice in Musicland by OSTER Project is such a long song to tackle, great work!! (Aiko plays MEIKO, as the Empress)


ECHO cover by VocaloidMaker
Another cover of ECHO using Aiko! Great work on the tuning!


Dancer in the Dark cover by fmccaddy12
I covered this with both Aiko and Chiyoko a while back, but here’s an Aiko-only version!

Youkai Taisou Daiichi cover by xwondera
Here’s a super-cute duet between Aiko and Mika Kaede!

en code original by Plus/Minus
Another track from STRATOSPHERE, here’s Plus/Minus’ original using Aiko’s beta CVVC Japanese!

Morning Glory original by Keygan Gwinn
Here’s a bit of a darker original song I found. I’m not certain if Keygan is a regular UTAU user based on their profile but if this was their first try using UTAU English, A+ work!

MMD Features


Toluthin Antennae by Tyler Valentine
An MMD video using Aiko’s SuminoChan model! I really love Ririri’s dance of this song in particular and I’m glad there’s motion for the choreography she used, so thank you!


Sollux Bi☣hazard by SJTK CG: Karkat
Aaaand it’s not an Aiko MMD thing necessarily, but here’s Sollux dancing to Biohazard! Unexpected, but kind of awesome.


Art Features

Happy (belated) birthday Teto (and Fuusenne)

by 1 Comment

I’m a bit late and incomplete in posting this, but April 1st was Teto’s 7th birthday and Fuusenne’s 3rd!

I managed to finish a cover using Teto’s new English bank in time at the very least:

Stay tuned, March’s monthly features post is coming up next!

STRATOSPHERE: Debut Kikyuune Family Album!

by Leave a Comment

Today’s a very special day: I’m extremely excited to announce the very first Kikyuune Family album!

STRATOSPHERE is a compilation album created under Empathy Studios (EmpathP’s VocUTAU label) in collaboration several talented producers from the UTAU community!

The second track, “Face2Face,” is actually my first completed original; it’s a duet between Namida and Aiko about internet or long-distance friendships. To be honest I’m a little embarrassed cause the lyrics are cheesier and cornier than cheddar grits, but I do hope you enjoy!

A few more notes: PlusMinus’ track features Aiko’s beta CVVC Japanese using presamp, and Breaking Point is sung by Aiko’s CVVC English!

Full credits and free download can be found on Bandcamp! Thanks again to everyone who participated!

Below is the crossfade video with previews of each song. I’ve included Face2Face’s lyrics on the Lyrics page, and a special high-rez wallpaper of the album art, drawn by Misha and edited by myself, can be found here.
