June 19th, 2017 – Fellow electronic music creators, are you searching for the perfect interpretation of your original songs? Akatsuki Virtual Artists (AVA), a subsidiary of Akatsuki Inc. in Japan, upholds the idea of promoting “innovation” and wishes to revitalize everyone’s childhood passion of creation in order to establish a society that is inspired by and respects “innovation”. A few days ago, AVA revealed a new vocal sound source, LUMi, a virtual artist who brings a brand new audio feast. To celebrate this, the Japanese official website is offering a free trial of VOCALOID4 Library LUMi for a limited time and is holding the first LUMi DTM Creator Competition (LUMi Con). Creators can submit their music created with the voice of LUMi. Qualifiers get a chance to have their songs aired on Japanese radio shows, and the winner’s song will even be played on LUMi’s debut concert in Japan!
Shrine Maiden from the Ocean, LUMi
Swaying in the water like a fluffy jellyfish drifting at will, LUMi, the shrine maiden from the ocean, comes to the mortal realm to offer a trial to exchange the seed of hope for the seed of people’s troubles. LUMi is gentle and tender, but tends to meddle too much in others’ business. She is overly empathetic for the exchanged troubles, which hurt her heart and paralyzed her, becoming a lonely shrine maiden… Voiced by Sayaka Ohara and designed by Fugin Fukayama, can LUMi overcome this trial and become a goddess?
