Internet Co - Tumblr Posts
It doesn't look like the results are going to change much in the next half-hour, so thanks for your input!
As a bonus, since I'm registered as a user on Internet Co.'s website, I can get her for almost 50% off. The power of brand loyalty, I guess.
So...
AI Otomachi Una is a thing.
I'm debating over whether or not to get her.
Pros:
She's cute. She sparks joy.
Her updated Sugar voicebank honestly sounds really good.
Since she has two cross-lingual voicebanks, I might be more motivated to practice using XSyn. I love GUMI V4, but copy/pasting Japanese syllables from Wikipedia to make song lyrics is painful. (Is there any way to make this process quicker?)
GUMI will have a friend that isn't one of the standard Yamaha voices.
She'd be the first non-adult voice in my (admittedly very small) arsenal, adding a bit of variety to the lineup.
This will show Internet Co. that their products are wanted. With enough interest in/purchases of their V6 voicebanks, maybe more of their characters will get updates. That's a big maybe, but never say never.
Cons:
She's freaking expensive ($138 US before tax).
Her updated Spicy voicebank is kind of underwhelming.
I love playing around with tuning/making covers privately, but I haven't had the courage to actually upload anything to the internet; in this sense, it might just seem like an expensive waste of time.
The whole "interest in Internet Co.'s stuff" thing outlined above isn't guaranteed to work.
So with all that said, I'm tossing this decision to a third party since I'm super indecisive.
I'm scrolling through Gackpo's official Twitter right now, and oh my gosh, the social media team behind this whole thing is made of geniuses. It's only GUMI, Gackpo, and Una for now, but it's still great. They all have their own little character quirks, and it's so cute!!
Una uses a lot of cutesy emoticons in addition to emojis, whereas the other two gravitate more toward emojis.
Gackpo calls Una "U-chan" and doesn't use any honorifics for GUMI. He's also a little goofy and refers to himself in the third person sometimes.
GUMI calls Gackpo "Gakunii-chan" and Una (or her hat? Google Translate can only do so much) "Otomachan." She also tweets in English the most frequently of the three.
Oh, and we're getting GUMI and Gackpo bath salts I guess???
Okay, I figured it out! Otoma-chan is the hat. GUMI uses U-chan for Una, just like Gackpo.

A new upcoming internet loid just got announced. Now we have to build a whole new bedroom in our house
Here's the demo video, for anyone who wants to hear her voice!
I love her! She has that same low, powerful kind of voice as Iroha, and since there aren't many female Vocaloids in this category, it makes her stand out. Her color scheme is also gorgeous in my opinion. :)
I can't wait to see what producers do with her once she officially releases!
Welcome to the Internet family Hibiki Koto! (I accidentally spilled honey on the banner)
Tall Ryuto scares me.
Mystery Inc-ernet
Where do you fall on the Silly Scale
Awwww yeeeeaaaaaah.
Murica GUMI, coming out on 🎆Freedom Day🎆
She didn't sound too different from standard GUMI V6/SV, but now I'm contractually obligated to get her as a 🇺🇲🇺🇸Murican🇺🇲🇺🇸
But in all seriousness, I like her. She doesn't read as a "Power" voicebank, but she has firmer consonants and a slightly deeper, more mature tone to her voice. Makes sense for a "Solid" voicebank. Could she be improved? Probably. But she's GUMI, so I'll love her even with her imperfections.
This is so freaking cute. The Internet 'loids really are family. 😭

GUMI, Gackpo, and Una may be the only ones present on-screen, but they acknowledged Hibiki Koto and galaco!!!
Waiting for Internet Co. to email me after struggling way too hard to register AI Megpoid Solid. I had to act like I forgot my User ID since certain information on my account was un-editable and incompatible with the registration form.
Even though I didn't have any issues with registering both of Una's voicebanks last year.
Yay.
Let's hope they don't perma-ban me for "attempting to make multiple accounts" or something. I'm just a Japanese-illiterate idiot trying to have fun with the silly singing robots and ensure backup download links for emergencies. You know, like when I fried my laptop this spring and didn't have time to deactivate all my Vocaloid stuff since that's generally not the first thing that comes to mind in this situation.
Update: Registering GUMI V6 SOLID worked!!!
I'm so happy and relieved!!
HOLY CRAP GALACO'S GETTING A V6 UPDATE!!!
