I finished and posted one of those covers I mentioned in the last post! As usual, the USTs for this song can be found on my USTs + MIDIs page~

More Small Updates~
It’s summer break, and that means it’s recording time! 😀
I’ll be focusing mainly on CV BalladSoft and CVVC RockLoud English first, seeing as AkiGlancy requires the former, and I have plans to use the latter for Aiko’s birthday (which is coming up in July). But by July 10th, I should have those banks plus CV and VCV RockLoud complete and released. PopMellow’s tone is a bit more difficult for me to record so it’ll be the last bank I focus on.
Also, I’m participating in the Minna no UTAU overseas album collaboration project which will take up a lot of my time in the following 2 months. I also have a couple of large art projects related to UTAU and Vocaloid in the following months, as well as the Project UTAU XYZ website to develop, AND a summer job… so this summer I might be slow on posting videos while I focus on all this behind-the-scenes work. I have 3 cover videos I plan to post in the next week or so, but after that you can keep up with the voicebank progress and any small non-video demos on here, Aiko’s Facebook page, and my UTAU/Vocaloid Tumblr (polkaloid.tumblr.com)
Finally, I’d like to give a special thanks and shout-out to MewKwota. She decided that today, or “Mother’s Day” in the US, should also be known as “UTAU Mama Birds Day” or a special occasion to thank people who helped you get into UTAU and learn the software and such. I’m really flattered that she views Aiko as Tsux’s “Mama Bird” and I’d like to thank both Yesi-chan and SingingRobotStalker (as well as Camila Melodia and Zuii Takoe) for being my own UTAU Mama Birds ;u;/
Updates~!
Seems I also neglected to post this cover. Ah, well, better late than never! Here’s a cover of Kokoro no Fanfare from Pokémon Best Wishes:
Also, as I’ve apparently posted everywhere but here, MTAC was this past weekend and I had a BLAST! The UTAU panel was very well received, and I met up with a couple of other UTAU users and voicers! Nat kept disappearing (*stares at him*) but I did get a photo with everyone else. Please excuse my derpy Fourth Doctor cosplay:

And finally, Aki will be using Aiko in her upcoming UTAU-only album, entitled “Roots”! Here’s a sneak peek at the WIP album art:
Aiko featured on VocaloidBrasil Banner C:
Mini, admin of VocaloidBrasil, invited me to do this month’s site banner, featuring the site mascot VIBE and Aiko together! I had a lot of fun drawing it~
One Night Disco – Kikyuune Aiko
Nothing much to say about this one, just a random cover for fun. Thanks to Roamingpandas for doing the artwork!
Aiko Cosplay~
So last night, I was poking around on Google and inadvertently searched “kikyuune” under “Discussions” and ran into a post on a completely unrelated fan forum. Turns out it was emanic29, or Ginger, from Tumblr who had mentioned cosplaying Aiko before! I never knew she actually went through with the project, but here are the results:
That was super clever, using leggings for Aiko’s shorts/boots! I had no clue how anyone would ever manage to make her open-front leg-casing-boot-things in cosplay :’D
Also, last October, Sango312 surprised me by cosplaying as Aiko for Halloween, and she posted the following photos on Tumblr (which somehow I never ended up posting here before now):
This means a whole lot to me, I’m so excited that people have cosplayed her! Thank you so much!!
