Happy 7th anniversary, Yuri!
This year, there's no special surprise (well, none that's actually finished lol). It's just a cover of a song that I really like, and that's enough for me! This cover could have been done with Quasar, but it's way out of range for Core. That's the other reason why I chose this song: to show proof of concept for a core voicebank that can hit high notes without being a messy bundle VB... no offense, Quasar. (Quasar is singing the harmony. Eclipse also has a small part!)
This VB doesn't sound like "Yuri," and I keep bouncing between liking this new sound and hating that it's so different. I hope it can still appeal to someone out there, though ^^;
That said, I don't even know if I'll finish it. It currently has 4 pitches. I planned for 10 pitches total (2 tones w/5 pitches each), more consistent pronunciation than Yuri's past VBs, more extra strings and alternative pronunciations, full CVVC compatibility, llsm cleanup... But I haven't felt motivated lately. I'm still physically and mentally recovering from my brush with death earlier this year. So for now, I just hope you enjoy this cover. Originally, I was going to skip this anniversary.
Thank you to Nobooru for the absolutely gorgeous art! It's so full of life, I love it! I feel like it conveys the emotions of the song well. The full body is my drawing, so that's why it's just a silhouette; I can't and won't imitate another person's style, but I wanted to give the video editor extra stuff to work with if she wanted to ^^; On that note, thank you to Lat for making the video! I appreciate all the effort that you put into battling your video editor, and I'm sorry for putting you through all that. The video looks wonderful to me~ never forget the Oblong placeholder...
Last but not least: thank you (yes, you!) for 7 years of happiness ♡

P.S. Here's some dev lore as your reward for reading this far! The VB's tentative name is Orbit. Yuri and her fans orbit each other, and I seem to always come back to vocal synths despite everything, as if I orbit them ;) so I have hope that future me can finish this project one day...
