There is so many more things we can add to this video. The outfit is a marching band outfit from "tetopettenson" which is the song le Beau Tambour. She's a French drummer girl. Crypton made a teto vocaloid in 2017 however it lost what made her special and they never released it. The character design was completely random. It was a shitpost thread on 2chan in which the attributes were selected by a dice roll. She's my favorite little drunk screwball. Her biggest new original song "babel" has so much deeper meaning than appears on the surface. "The upside-down tower of the future Resembles you"

Also, Sen wasn't actually a single user, they were multiple anonymous illustrators working on her image. The name literally means "line of users". Teto was also lucky to have a unique voice among the fake vocaloids of her time (Boukaloids, as they were labeled aka pseudo-vocaloid), because UTAU was released a couple of months after April 2007, which is why on her iconic parody song Kasane Territory she says she has the "Boukaloid monopoly". She was possibly the third complete chraracter for the engine after Momone Momo, which is why the default voicebank, Momo and her, are still referred to as the "Three UTAU sisters". (Momo was released before her, but she wasn't considered a Boukaloid; she was the first user-made Utauloid).

IIRC Crypton never made Teto into a vocaloid, or ever made the attempt at it, since TwinDrill has a pretty long history of keeping the rights to Teto away from Crypton, which is why Crypton is only allowed to include Teto in Project Diva as an appearance, but isn't allowed to officially add Teto songs or use her voice. Piapro allows Teto uploads, but Crypton cannot make any official Teto merchandise. It would have likely ended up, legally, bad for Crypton to create a Teto Vocaloid VB, considering TwinDrill never would have allowed them. You may be thinking of the multiple attempts by fans to compile Teto's UTAU voice samples into a Vocaloid-compatible VB, which has happened, and usually it ends up not very good, hence why you rarely see people distribute them.

If you don't mind me posting a link here is a short sample they released of teto vocaloid at 2:45. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dqB129amk5SvmKQ.html Crypton assisted in a small part with teto's release. This was all detailed in the j-cast interview and the AHS livestream which contains a lot more information.

i don't agree that Teto is a blank slate, she's always had her own personality contrary to how vocaloids are. She's often described as a tsundere and even has her own catchphrase, "you really are stupid aren't you?" pulled from doraemon. most UTAUloids are like this too considering that they are basically people's OCs.

Heck yeah! I have been a long time fan of VOCALOID but never really researched it, it was really fun to broaden my horizons in a video like this!

A little correction. Akita Neru and Yowane Haku are NOT utau characters. They're what you would call a fanloid. Fanloids are basically fanmade derivatives of existing Vocaloids. Neru's design, for example, is clearly based off of Miku, and her voice is also either pitched up Miku, or pitched down Rin. So yes, although both utaus and Fanloids are fanmade in nature, they aren't the same, as utau characters have their own, original voicebanks, while fanloids don't, their voices are archived by messing around with parameters of a pre-existing Vocaloid voicebank. Other than that, nice video!

I do admit "fanmade" was probably not the best word to use, but really what I meant was that just anyone can make an utau, just like anyone can make a fanloid, except you know, fanloids are derivative of off pre-existing chararacters/VBs.

Kasane Teto really rose from just being a UTAU voicebank into a premium-grade voicebank designed for SynthesizerV program and it is a deserving treatment given her popularity in the community ever since the earlier days of Hatsune Miku or VOCALOID in general. Redesigning the face of the voicebank is a common thing and it should not come as a surprise as it is a standard to show that it's an upgrade or a different product just like how Miku grew so much hair (assuming it isn't a wig) in her NT design. The designer for her SynthV appearance, Sakauchi Waka, had really carefully thought out the outcome of her design and borrowed some inspirations referencing to her past design and few songs. There are some slight corrections here but the other comments had cleared it already so no need to repeat it. In any case, this is an interesting video worth learning about Kasane Teto!

You can still tune her to sound like her UTAU voicebank. That's the beauty of her synthv one: versatility.

It's really cool to see a design breakdown of Teto (I love you teto!!!!!!! I love you so much!!!!!!!!) I think you did a really good job analyzing the outfits. Despite Teto's UTAU outfit, which is still always going to be my favorite, being essentially a mirror to Miku's, it was usually regarded as a "military"-ish outfit. With the re-design they felt it was important to retain this -- so it did become more on-the-nose. I think the most notable changes though are in her voice, as her UTAU voice is *incredibly* powerful, and can easily overpower other singers, or can be heard during intense instrumentals. While the SynthV voice still has power, it is much less than the UTAU voice. As such, there's different use cases for each voice; a more typical song, which you usually would hear from a vocaloid producer, or songs in English or any other language that isn't Japanese works really well with SynthV Teto. While a more traditional "Teto Song" works exceptionally well with the UTAU voice. Common examples of a traditional Teto song would be like "A sardine grows from the soil" or any Hario song ("UFO", "Typewriter", "Peach-Meat Pie"). A more recent example (I definitely recommend checking this one out) is "退廃的人生讃歌" or "Hymn to a Decadent Life" : Incredible song, feels like a classic teto song, but released after SynthV Teto.

Omg yes u are aso right

A few things to add: - The very first bits of 'Voice' released were heavily edited bits produced with either Hatsune Miku or 'Defoko' the Default Voice of the UTAU Software (UTAU was publically released at a later date, but members of the VIPPERs had access to an early build.) Later Oyamano Mayo would join to lend her voice, but for the joke she was credited as Nobuyo Ōyama, the Voice of Doraemon (thus the many Fanart of Teto as Doraemon) When Teto was officially made into an UTAUloid, she returned to produce the Voicebank again and even became one of the main artists for Teto. - UTAUloids aren't technically 'Fanmade Voicebanks'. UTAU started out as a Hobby Project of it's creator and they started developing the software before the VOCALOID Software started development. But since VOCALOID was created by a bigger company and UTAU was a niche project of a single person, obviously UTAU was less known. So UTAUloids are as much 'Fanmade Voicebanks' as your Skyrim Character is a Fanmade Character. Yes most of them came to UTAU due to Teto and being Vocaloid Fans. However UTAU is an independant Program that would exist even if VOCALOID never was made, it would just be way less popular. - Teto was produced as the Fake 3rd Vocaloid. The joke wasn't just a 'Spoof Vocaloid', the intend was an AFD Joke which was that Kasane Teto was the new VOCALOID with the number 03. It just so happened that the early teasers for Megurine Luka fell around AFD so the VIPPERs decided to take that chance. - Her Gender being Chimera is actually a joke within the UTAU Fanbase as Teto's gender was never truly given at the start therefore people said her Gender is Chimera. It's actually her Race that is Chimera because UTAUloids are, within the Fanbase, are not considered Androids at all. They're a wide variety of creatures both human, robot and even mythical creatures. Teto is a Chimera, in her case she's a half-human, half-dragon. Due to being a Chimera she's 31 years old in Chimera years, which translates to 15.5 in Human years. This simply means she ages only half as fast as a human would due to her Chimera-lineage. Her Lore in that regard is confusing but the official consensus is that while she's technically 31 years old, but for all sense and purposes she's 15(.5) so she's still a Teen. - TWINDRILL, the group that manages Teto has said that they made sure to retain full rights to Teto, The Concerts and the Avatar in the Project Diva games are a contract between the relevant parties and TWINDRILL that either side can terminate at any point which would result in Teto not being featured in Concerts anymore and the Avatar to be removed from sale. In this way, TWINDRILL still calls the shots. It also helped immensely that the Company behind Synth V AI has experience with Voice Synthesizers both with their own product as well as VOCALOID Voicebanks such as Yuzuki Yukari, Nekomura Iroha, SF-A2 Miki, etc. - Synth V hasn't 'aquired' Teto. From my understanding it's a Contract similiar to the one with SEGA and Project Diva. Teto is there, the Voicebank is produced by AHS and is sold by AHS. However Teto STILL belongs to TWINDRILL properly and they can, at any time, terminate the contract and cease working with AHS. Proof of that is that the Livestream where Teto was announced to be getting the Synth V AI Voicebank, also mentioned that her UTAU-Voicebank will recieve updates for the forseeable Future as well. Therefore Teto is now a Synth V AI Voicebank BUT still remains an UTAUloid. - Teto's Uniform was only slightly intended to mirror the Miku-Meta. It's actually a Feminine Military Uniform. So there wasn't really a change in what her Outfit is... It's still a Military Uniform :) - Teto has a LOT of characterization from official sources. TWINDRILL did release a lot of Lore for Teto if you're able to find it, as the stuff tends to disappear and the dude that was put in charge of her Wiki Article has been inactive for long, so new things weren't really added after the VOCALOID and UTAU craze slowly died down. IMHO UTAUloids have way more personality than ANY Vocaloid will ever have. To me Teto has been Official since she became an UTAUloid and grew out of the BS that she needed to become a VOCALOID. Her journey of AFD Joke to a beloved Character that is 'friends' with the VOCALOIDs but has her own Group is way more important to me than her becoming a 'commercial voicebank' I've alway taken her seriously, especially after UTAU was updated so much, it could actually sound BETTER than VOCALOID3 at the time. Personally i find it very disrespectful to her to brand her as a "Joke character" and "Spoof" just because she wasn't a Commercial Voicebank and her voicebank has been rough around the edges.

Thank you for educating me while i expand my horizons into different territories! I actually mostly make videos on VTubers but I figured I would change things up this month because I would like to expand my horizons on what character designs I talk about! I have been a casual vocaloid enjoyer since the 2010s but I was solely enjoying Vocaloid and UTAU music on KZread and in the Project Diva/Project Sekai video games. I appreciate you taking the time to add your insight!

TwinDrill's association with AHSoft/Dreamtronics is a lot deeper than the surface-level contracts with Crypton. It's unlikely either would terminate since it gets a new SynthV product out there, and TwinDrill earns money they can funnel towards more Teto-related events, like merchandise or actual events. And as a side note, because this is often misunderstood -- Teto, officially, is 31 years old, this is the "official stance" of TwinDrill (although to be clear, like any other loid, stats are malleable, and arbitrary from producer to producer, so any interpretation of Teto's age is equally valid, but I'm strictly talking in an official sense.) TwinDrill doesn't ever make any acknowledgement of "chimera years" or the idea that 1 human year is .5 chimera years. It's a mostly western fanbase idea that, from my best guess, sprung from Teto Territory, as the most viewed re-upload of Teto Territory on KZread is 13 years old, and has English subtitles (Although it is worth pointing out -- many of the subtitles in this video are not translated very well, which is why also western fans incorrectly cite chimera years as 1 chimera year as equal to .5 human years; I.E. 31 chimera years = 15.5 human years, when the original Japanese lyrics actually say the exact opposite, 1 human year = .5 chimera years; I.E 31 in human years is 15.5 in chimera years. )

@@Dedprotectr Her age is actually debatable. While many people point out the mistranslation, there was a time early on (2008-2009) where her UTAU-Wiki page was made read-only with the only person allowed to edit it being a representative of TWIN-DRILL. The Page at that point actually did read "31 (15.5 in human years)" So it was reasonable to assume that it's TWIN-DRILL approved. They have however since taken a more 'distant' stance on the age, simply saying that she is indeed 31, but her 'human age' is up to anyone to decide.

@@MikayaAkyo I was really only thinking about their *current* stance at the time. On a realistic note, theres very little incentive to marketing a voicebank if you attach fixed stats to it, since it could potentially be percieved as a creative limitation. (I.E. if CFM was currently pitching Rin and Len as brother and sister, like at launch, producers looking for a male-female voice for romantic songs would probably skip over Rin/Len, losing potential sales for CFM.) Twindrill follows suit with this sort of logic, making a voice/character as versitile as possible, by stepping back. And saying "this is what we think about Teto from an official perspective, but you should change this how you see fit". Which, probably, is why they dropped mention of human years -- to allow artists more space. That being said, technically one can make a song or art or whatever where teto is 16 feet tall, weighs 3000 pounds, and hates french bread, and it would be just as valid as any other interpretation.

Жыл бұрын

interesting! thanks for the comment!

its good to see teto kasane get the attention she deserved after so long of being a utauloid.

Teto is absolutely epic and the best vocal synth ever. I am now going to proceed to nitpick everything you say :) but jokes aside thx for the video Teto is so underrated, ok nitpicks go: 1:38 This note is going to break the chronological aspect of these timestamps immediately (otherwise i just typed stuff as i went and didn't correct previous statements, just kind of stating present thoughts) and acknowledge a point that you bring up throughout the video. Your explanation of UTAU is faulty, which is fine given your preface of being a Vocaloid fan. UTAU is its own vocal synth program with characters like Defoko (AKA Uta Utane) and Momo Momone, as well as some other Vipperloids (Collective title for fake Vocaloids made by Vipper) such as Sukone Tei and Ruko Yokune. Neru and Haku are Fanloids/Derivatives primarily, which is why Neru doesn't even sing in Triple Baka. While it is possible to make your own interpretation of a voicebank for Neru and Haku using UTAU, since UTAU allows you to make custom voicebanks, (See Sans UTAU, Spongebob UTAU, etc.), they do not have official voices (though Neru and Haku are usually characterized as a high pitch and low pitch miku respectively, since Neru is incredibly similar to Miku and Haku is a fan-character who is supposed to embody Hatsune Miku songs with poor tuning, which both just use Vocaloid, also in one Project Diva game according to a wiki Neru is characterized as having a low-pitched Miku voice apparently) and are not primarily considered UTAU like Defoko, Sukone Tei, Ruko Yokune, and Momo Momone are. Though to be fair in terms of official UTAU I'm not even sure if there's anyone other than Defoko, the default UTAU voicebank, though she's usually grouped up with Momo Momone and Kasane Teto since together they were the first 3 voicebanks (As a reply in the pinned comment also describes, of course. But past that pinned thread I'm not checking if I'm repeating information sry lol) 2:04 Wait how is the first one a joke? Her gender being chimera aligns with the real status of Chimerism which is essentially Interce, having the physical traits of multiple genders, and also with her species as Chimera, a hybrid of animals, which to my knowledge was adapted by Twin Drill to essentially mean that Teto is xenogender, having a gender that is beyond human comprehension that is up to the user's interpretation in how it works. Her age IS a joke even if it's commonly accepted that her doubled age is a result of her being a chimera (the animal-hybrid one) 2:12 FRENCH Bread. ONLY French Bread. Also referred to as Baguettes and "Crostans" (As the Baguette-like bread in Peach-Meat Pie is referred to as) 5:35 ew what a gross thing to call a colour. Anyway it's more like Fuchsia, though through fan works it ranges all the way from just Pink to just Red with Project Diva specifically choosing to change Miku's hair to a more direct aqua without the green tint and Teto's hair to just a vibrant red. It's just like Sega to change interesting colours into more standard ones (Sonic going from Azure to Blue and Knuckles going from Fuchsia to Red stand out) 6:17 Interesting thing about the belt is that depending on the media this or a standard devil's tail is characterized as her Chimera tail, with semi-official media having used both at different times. Unless I'm misreading the art (maybe it's supposed to be connected to the front of the dress but I don't understand why that would be) the tail is actually curled in a way that defies gravity, further supporting the idea that it is a part of her body. Also the belt is only half pink, the rest being Fuchsia. OK I'm gonna stop nitpicking colours now, most people don't even treat fuchsia as its own colour to be fair and yet ORANGE gets to be its own colour smh smh Yeah, I think that while something is slightly off about the hue in your quick mock-up that it's just such a really good thing that didn't REALLY need to be changed. That dark aqua (not nitpicking colour just... also not calling it blue because it isn't) is great. Probably the main issue is that it doesn't suit the music sheet aesthetic as well, so I guess it kinda goes either way. 8:40 Relative to other vocal synths Teto has a lot of official characterization. I guess you could argue the Project Diva cutscenes, and maybe I need to give those a re-watch to properly judge them, but I feel like the main thing I take away from those character-wise is that Rin and Miku are the closest thing to a canon ship that vocal synths have. Then again maybe I'm just the most familiar with Teto's characterization in comparison to others because I'm more of a fan of hers than others on account of her simply being better. I kinda wish you mentioned her Mesai Sweet Jacket outfit from Project Diva. That really felt like the first time she stepped out of Miku's shadow in an official manner design-wise. 9:30 It's hard to think of this as the point where she's to be taken seriously since she's sounded good for such a long time. OK nitpicking over, time to answer your questions at the end I 100% prefer the sound of UTAU Teto. SynthV Teto is getting to a point where if the right person tunes her I can appreciate her as a nice alternative to Teto who fills a different niche and can sound great doing it but considering UTAU Teto was already the best vocal synth ever, especially in large part to her powerful voice that works well with the synthetic sound that UTAU has which SynthV largely avoids for a more realistic-sounding timbre, I really can't fault SynthV Teto at all. And hey, the more Teto the merrier! Meanwhile, the designs are both great but I think this is another point for UTAU Teto because the contrast of dark aqua with fuchsia compliments a deriviative but great design and her Mesai Sweet Jacket outfit gives her a strong design that is less derivative. But SynthV Teto really doesn't have much that's WRONG with her, it's really just steep competition. Again, thanks for discussing this omega-underrated legend! Very epic!

Wow thank you for taking the time to type all of this out. Honestly as a casual vocaloid fan who just wanted to talk about Teto’s redesign, this video was a very hard one to research since there’s so much history surrounding Utaus, vocaloids, fanloids, and vipperloids. I knew I wouldn’t be able to give a totally proper overview of Teto’s rich 15 year history or fully understand the design choices made, but I did want to take a crack at it because I didn’t see anyone doing a comparison of the two designs specifically. Thanks for your understanding on that :) (Also I can’t believe I didn’t think of the word fuchsia the entire time I was writing the script! 😭)

Yeah ive thoroughly enjoyed the UTAU Teto and Synth V Teto duets that have been happening! Thanks for sharing

This is a good video but a few corrections(I'm sure you've gotten a few...) Vocaloids are almost never their characters. It's mostly the reverse to what you said, the characters accompany the Voicebank, they're only there to make the box pretty. (This is not a well known thing but I feel like it's important) Also the company that owns Synth V is Dreamtonics. Additionally, it would rather be Twindrill, who would be reaching out to Dreamtonics/Kanru Hua to add Teto not the other way around. Also Haku and Neru are only Fanloids and are meant to only be edits of Vocaloid Voicebanks. Overall pretty good video, it's nice to see people make videos like this!

I agree that I prefer the navy/dull blue for her outfit

But besides the first comment i placed teto truly deserves to be a real idol now, comes to show that dreams do indeed come true as she wanted to be a "real" vocaloid. I love teto so much and as i said i do feel bad for clinging onto her first design and i wish they couldve kept more of her colours, they could've made the gray into her navy blue for example but thats just me complaining for a bit, all in all teto will always remain in my heart in any shape or form, aslong as she has her cute voice and dangerous twin drills il be satisfied plenty >:D

I think the new design looks AMAZING The synth v version still sound like teto but teto HD I love everything about this, it's like a character arc

6:45 - SODAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

As a user of kasane teto (both synthv and utau) i find it a bit unfair that you only showcased her 2r6 cv voicebank, which was her oldest and lowest quality. You should have showcased newer ones as I feel that they are higher quality than her SynthV (not as realistic, but still)
