Long time, no see! We've got a flurry of news to share here! While we are mostly active on our Twitter accounts, with how things have been going lately, if we don't post within 30 days of the previous post, our account could get shut down. We will try to make an effort to post major updates on our website as well to avoid potential loss of major news. First up, we have a new item in store: an acrylic standee featuring the entire JAE VOCAL PROJECT cast, made in celebration of our group's 5th Anniversary! It stands at around 2.5 inches and the width is around 6 inches. Each of the characters use their default outfits. This standee was designed by Mian; be sure to follow her for more amazing art! Unlike the other pieces of merchandise, this standee will only be available for a limited time and will not be restocked. The pre-order will run until July 1, 2023 at 12 AM USA Eastern Time. But as a special offer, here's what you'll get when you order a standee:
Next is in regards to the MMD models for Xiao Meihua, Ser0, Canary, and Xiao Shancha. We were aware that the download links for them were long broken. After speaking with Orahi, we were given permission to upload the models through our dropbox. That said, the links to the models have been updated on those characters' pages. Please be aware of any changes to his Terms of Use and to follow them accordingly! You also may have noticed that we've shared two new demos for Ser0 featuring her update known as "Ser02"! Ser02 will feature some new individual voicebanks, so we hope you look forward to those! Check out these two demos by Purpled! The first is a cover of "Chimera" by ATOLS, with the UST by half a head. The second is a cover of "Ponzi" by Kyoe. This uses Ser02's Appends "AWARE" and "PASSIVE". Hope you're looking forward to what we have in store for Ser0! Closing this out, May 15 is kEna's birthday! This year marks 3 years since he released on UTAU! We've commissioned Reishichi for his official illustration. Here he is among nature, looking as handsome as ever in this peaceful location! We hope that you enjoy everything we had to show lately! Things have been slowing down for a while now, but rest assured, we are still working on new stuff! Be sure to follow our Twitter to keep track of mini updates like anniversary artwork and songs!
Thank you for all your support! Until next time!

Today marks the 2nd anniversary of JD's original UTAU release! This year, we've created a new keychain in collaboration with faynatical and updated the current line up! It is based on his 1st anniversary outfit, much like how Ser0's is based on her 3rd anniversary. And because it's JD's birthday month, throughout December, you can get his keychains at a discounted price, so take advantage of it while you can! To get your very own and add to your collection, the item link is here! In other news, we regret to announce that the Twitter accounts for Xiao Meihua, Xiao Meiye, Xiao Shancha, and Yu Junjie have officially closed on December 1 this year. It was a difficult decision to make. We've had a lot of fun with the accounts, but as we have more projects to complete and not much time to work on them, it became difficult to manage the side accounts.
Thank you to everyone who supported them after all these years, especially for Meihua's account as it existed before our JAE account and even our website. Remember that she and Ser0 were both released long before it was decided that they and the rest of the cast would be part of a single group. That being said, the both of them carried a good portion of JAE VOCAL PROJECT's history. This concludes today's news. It's rather bittersweet, but we are very thankful for all the support and are always excited to brighten someone else's day! We're not sure if we will have any additional news for the rest of the year, so if not, from the bottom of our hearts, we wish you a wonderful holiday season and a fantastic new year! We hope you all stay safe! It's been a long time since we've last updated the website and a lot went on since then! We've had several new uploads, including full versions of older demos. We'll be showing all of them here, as well as get to the main course of this article: Junjie's birthday! Since the upload of the "Karakuri Pierrot" cover by Mina Moonrise featuring Xiao Meihua, not long after that, we've released the full version of one of the Shancha and Meihua Japanese DeepVocal demos, "Heart Chrome", which was originally written by HachiojiP and q*Left. The cover was by yakou using SeeU&KPOP's VSQx file, with illustrations by Chunnyeol and video editing by Cluemily. This was uploaded in June. In September, the full version of "Blind", which was originally written by JUSF, was uploaded and was one of Meihua's Chinese DeepVocal demos (also featuring the voice of Yi as harmonies). The cover was created by Migi and used Uryan's and Marukun's sequences. It was mixed by Mina Moonrise, illustrated by Jijiilong, and the video was edited by ame。. Finally, on November 13, for Yu Junjie's first anniversary, we released the full version of "Nenchaku-kei Danshi no 15-nen Nechinechi", originally written by Ie no Ura de Manbou ga ShinderuP. The cover was done and mixed by Mina Moonrise using nmasao1's UST. The illustration was done by HJ and video edits were by Preuss. This also used kimchi-tan's oto, so keep in mind that if you download Junjie's voice, it's not the same oto. By default, his oto is by Purpled. But this doesn't end here! In addition to the new PV upload, we've also updated faynatical's acrylic keychain line to include Junjie's Japanese UTAU outfit! This line was the very first set of keychains we've ever produced and released! Now, a matching Junjie could be added to your collection if you wish! To order, the shop link is here. Keep in mind, for the entire month of November, Junjie's keychains are discounted. This also applies to the new faynatical one, so take advantage of it while you can! That's all we have for the latest updates! Hopefully, we'll stay more on track in keeping the site running smoothly with future news. We hope you enjoy this new content! Thank you always for supporting JAE VOCAL PROJECT, its creators, and its line of vocalists! Until next time!
Today is Xiao Meihua's fifth anniversary! This year, we've uploaded a new cover of "Karakuri Pierrot", originally written by 40mP! The cover was handled by Mina Moonrise with illustrations by 02Kase-chan! This uses the VSQx by Mark LawX and the harmony vocals feature our affiliate from The StarRise Project: Seishi Starchaser! The cover is available on YouTube and bilibili! In the PV, you'll also notice cameos of Ser0, Xiao Shancha, JD, kEna, and Yu Junjie! Unfortunately, Canary couldn't make it, but we'll find a way to make it up to him for sure!
In addition, since it's June, all Xiao Meihua and Xiao Meiye keychains are on sale for the month! Please check out our official Ko-Fi shop if you're are interested in obtaining either character! Thank you very much for supporting Meihua after all these years! JAE VOCAL PROJECT has come a long way since then and we hope it shows! A long while ago, Migi provided Miis of the JAE VOCAL PROJECT cast for the 3DS and WiiU. Now, with the new re-release of Miitopia for the Nintendo Switch, Migi provided updated Miis with the new wig and make-up styles available in this version! Like the previous versions, these are his own interpretations of the characters and is not meant to be the official canon. It is entirely optional to use them and everyone is entitled to creating their very own if they would like to! If you are interested in using any of them, use the following code to import them: 8GGJBT. To watch them in action, Migi has began streaming on Twitch and YouTube. All videos are archived on his new YouTube Channel that's dedicated strictly for streaming and non-vocal synthesis use. Check it out here!
Affiliate characters are also present in the game, but will not be accessible. Like JAE VOCAL PROJECT, these are only Migi's interpretations and are not official. There are some who are currently not available in the gameplay but will be in the future. The only affiliate who is distributed is Reicheru Nintone. Her owner actually made the Mii available on Twitter! We hope you like them and enjoy using them yourselves if you'd like! After a long wait, Xiao Meihua's CVVChinese voicebanks are now available for both UTAU and DeepVocal! Both are using Risku's voicebank and were voiced by Migi. Ryan-kun developed both versions with some alterations from Feng Quan in regards to the UTAU version. Check out the crossfade below! There's a total of two UTAU demos and four DeepVocal demos. For UTAU, the design remains as the very original by Purpled! However for DeepVocal, she has a whole new look! The design was created by Parapa-kun and the final illustration was done by KUREiiRO! You may have seen this design before a few months ago, but we won't say where from. That's for you to find out for yourself, but we will say that like the other designs, the theme colors are based on the sky. For Mandarin DeepVocal, it's volcanic sky!
After this release, we have no further plans for Meihua at the moment. While we are interested in expanding language capabilities or voicebank styles (formats, multipitching, vocal tones) for her, at the same time, we want to focus on other characters. In the meantime, we hope that you enjoy Meihua's voicebanks until we are ready to create more for her again! We hope you are looking forward to whatever future project we have in store for you! Until next time! It's still hard to believe that it's January and that the first week had already flown by! After January comes February, which means that Valentine's Day is coming up as well! With that in mind, JAE VOCAL PROJECT decided to create new merchandise to reflect the holiday: Love Confessions designed by nekocopicat! This line consists of nine keychains: the seven cast members (Meihua, Ser0, Canary, Shancha, JD, kEna, and Junjie) and the two officially recognized derivatives (Meiye and Naidong)! Each of them have a unique pose and expression while wearing their default clothes, except for Meihua and Canary. Meihua is wearing her Arpasing English outfit while Canary is wearing his Arpasing English Vivid Soft outfit (the voicebank is not released at this time). These acrylic keychains are also holographic, giving a shine at every angle you turn it! To add onto the theme, the clips are shaped as hearts. To order these keychains, visit the JAE VOCAL PROJECT Storenvy located in the navigation bar of our website! If you would like to see these as future stickers, buttons, and other goods via Redbubble, let us know and we'll see what we can do for that if possible!
Like with the previous keychains by Melody, only Meihua, Ser0, Canary, and Shancha will come with the free 25mm buttons by winter. If the seven main cast members (excluding Meiye and Naidong) were purchased, then the postcard by oweruru will be distributed. Both of these are available while supplies last: once they are gone, they will not be restocked! We hope that you like these new keychains! It's a wonder that we can finally add more to the shop compared to some years ago and we're genuinely pleased to share these cute ideas with you all! If you've been following the official twitter accounts lately, then you've probably noticed that a few new Xiao Meihua re-covers have been springing up on bilibili and YouTube. In addition, a VOCALOID cover of Tora☆Ouji's "Split Personality" (originally featuring Xiao Meihua) was also uploaded. These works were by Chinese UTAU and VOCALOID user Feng Quan (also known as Juoruky)! After some conversations and meeting the JAE VOCAL PROJECT crew, Feng Quan officially became one of our affiliates! The works mentioned earlier are listed below! Today, we have released the full version of one of Yu Junjie's demos: "SNOBBISM" by Neru and z'5! This song also features Xiao Meihua Sweet! The cover and mixing was done by karasuhana, with illustrations done by cakesdown and video editing by Cluemily. The UST was by Landy25N. It's also available on SoundCloud and bilibili~! Only one of Junjie's demos doesn't have a PV yet, but it's well in the works! We hope you are looking forward to it!
Next week, we have another upload to show, however, it may not be a video. Stay tuned for that! Until then! Within the last two weeks, we released two full cover songs: "Jougen no Tsuki" by Kurousa-P and "Wú Zhònglì Shàonǚ" by T-L-S and Yu Li. "Jougen no Tsuki" was one of Yu Junjie's demos and was covered by kimchi-tan using rifia's UST and was mixed by MinaKi. The song featured nikkeruu's illustration and the video was edited by Preuss. "Wú Zhònglì Shàonǚ" was covered by Migi and mixed by MinaKi. This song featured Xiao Meihua's DeepVocal Sweet vocal, in addition to her DeepVocal Natural vocal, Yi, and Pinku for the harmonies. This upload featured the original video and used the official VSQx. Both songs are also available on SoundCloud and bilibili. Yu Junjie CV Japanese was made available for download on November 13, 2020, so anyone can download and use him if they'd like!
As for Xiao Meihua CVVChinese, we are still expecting another demo before she is able to be released for public use! We hope you are looking forward to her in addition to any other project we have planned! |
