Just a brief update: I’ve recorded Cz’s new VCCV list for Aiko’s BalladSoft English! Eventually RockLoud will also be updated to the VCCV list, but as a BalladSoft update hadn’t happened in a while, I focused on it first.

Minor Update + February Features
Sorry for the inactivity lately! I’ve been to 2 conventions, been stranded by snow, come down with bronchitis and all sorts of other things over the past couple of weeks. Needless to say, I haven’t gotten much done in the way of finishing and releasing Aiko’s CVVC… I deeply apologize for how long it’s taking. However, I’d like to announce that the Kikyuune Family album project is reaching its final wrap-up, and I’ll be posting more information about that this next week!
Without further ado, here are February’s features! As always, if I’ve missed anything, please let me know; this is all from YouTube, deviantART and Pixiv by searching the Kikyuune tag. (I currently don’t include SoundCloud because its search system is a bit questionable and I’ve missed a LOT before)
Thunderstorm cover by Choccoleit
First, a cover of one of CIRCRUSH’s Cyber Diva demos, using Aiko English! This was Choccoleit’s first released UST, and they did an amazing job both in the cover and video~ Awesome work!

(Late) January Features
Admittedly, I’m VERY late on this, but in my defense a lot of things happened this month and seeing as I’m stuck in a hotel out of my home state due to snow, I might as well get this posted! These are all the videos and art I could find for the month of January that use Kikyuune voicebanks or characters, by searching the “kikyuune” tag on multiple sites.
Flickering Escape by DystoP (Adlez27)
First up is an original song! It’s a darker electronic-y tune by DystoP, one of the participating artists in a very exciting project that should finally be unveiled in the next month or so.

Retiring CV-VV Voicebanks Soon
Just a minor announcement. I’ve been testing my CVVC bank as straight CV, and seeing as it’s working quite well, I’ll be officially retiring CV-VV once I finish these voicebanks.
CV-VV PopMellow will not be recorded and will instead be pushed to the CVVC production queue.
(As usual, these old banks will remain on the site for download as archive links, but will no longer be updated.)
Aiko featured on EmpathP album!
I’m pleased to announce that Kikyuune Aiko BalladSoft made an appearance on the latest EmpathP (AkiGlancy) album! You can hear her duet with Namida in a new version of “Hello to My Today” below. If you like the song and other songs on the album, please support Aki by purchasing it on her Bandcamp! “A Certain Path” is available as a download for $8 or a physical CD for $12.
Monthly features!
Starting at the end of this month, I’m going to start doing a monthly feature post of videos (cover, original, talkloid, MMD, etc.) using Kikyuune family characters!
I really want to show my appreciation to people who have used my UTAU voicebanks, but I know I tend to be bad at posting every single time I find a video. So I’ll do my best to post a thanks at the end of the month for all the videos I find on YT and Nico for that time period!
(Once I finish updating the other UTAU XYZ core voicebanks and get the main utau.xyz website set up, I’ll transition over to including EVERYONE in the X and Y series!)
