VOCALOID2’s Kagamine Rin
The next girl to be featured in Crypton Future Media’s VOCALOID2 software has been revealed. (Check out my previous post if you don’t know what is VOCALOID2.)
Kagamine Rin (鏡音リン) is a loli-looking character voiced by Asami Shimoda (下田麻美), yet another semi-obscure seiyuu who has very few titles under her name. She is most well-known for her role(s) as Ami and Mami Futami in the IDOLM@STER game. I bet it won’t be long now before we have a new IDOLM@STER game that utilizes VOCALOID technology.
By the way, here’s a YouTube video of the song “Agent Yoru wo Yuku” from IDOLM@STER as performed by Asami Shimoda.
I think I still prefer Miku…
The expansion (sequel?) will go on sale in the second half of December. Pricing is to be confirmed.

The lolita character is the one with this kind of voice?

They need to switch the character designs to match the voices.

@Lss: Talent agencies would probably gain more from singers/seiyuu not making their voices synthesized.

Would there be a problem of “shi” sounding like “chi”? :/
