Vocaloid Wiki:Sandbox/Zing

Zing is an upcoming VOCALOID to be developed by EXIT TUNES in collaboration with aquatrax for the VOCALOID4 engine. She was announced to be bilingual in Japanese and Mandarin Chinese.

History
Zing made her debut in 2015 as the mascot for the mobile rhythm game, Zyon. She has since made appearances as the spokesperson of the game’s social media accounts and aquatrax’s visits to many different convention centers throughout China.

2016
On July 16, 2016, aquatrax posted that during their visit to Firefly ACG Festival 2016 with Shanghai HENIAN, fans had asked questions regarding if Zing would become a VOCALOID. Their response was a post with Zing saying, “See you next time”.

2017
On April 1, 2017, the official Zyon Facebook page posted an announcement that Zing would become a trilingual VOCALOID. It was later posted that she would be bilingual VOCALOID to be developed by EXIT TUNES and was expected to release in 2018. A beta version would be available in the future for participating artists.

Concept
Zing was originally the mascot of the mobile rhythm game Zyon and was featured in the game as an original character created by aquatrax. Her VOCALOID version was born for music games.

According to her Zyon biography, she is an emotional AI program that was built by the human race. From time to time, she complained about her boredom in the universe. She accidentally found the way of connecting with her lost human emotions and memories through the ZYON spacecraft and became much more positive afterwards.

Etymology
According to her light novel hosted on Zyon, her name was described to be an onomatopoeia as it is “some kind of sound”.

Marketing
Zing is the mascot and one of the available character skins of the Zyon rhythm game produced by aquatrax. She is usually the spokesperson of their official social media accounts.

LINE stickers were created for Zing and fellow Zyon original character, Memu, as a gift for reaching 100,000 downloads for the game on Google Play.
