YANHE (VOCALOID3)


 * This is an article about the YANHE software for the VOCALOID3 engine.

History
YANHE's voice had been recorded prior to the choosing of an avatar. On March 25th, 2013, a competition was carried out to have a selection of avatars to choose from. The characters were designed based on the small demo provided, a feminine sounding vocal singing a well known Chinese classic, Mo Li Hua (Jasmine Flower). Fans could select and vote on the design they liked best. The second contest functioned similarly to VOCALOID CHINA's first contest in 2012, with the winner being Luo Tianyi. The first round finished at the end of April.

On May 13th, out of 666 entries for the design contest, only 15 were selected as finalists. On June 6th, the 4 runner ups were announced, with YANHE as the grand winner and thus, she became a VOCALOID.

After some time since the winning announcement, YANHE's design was readjusted, but not as drastically as the VOCALOID CHINA characters before her. An album called The Stage 1 was revealed in June, featuring early use of YANHE's vocals. Within two months time since the contest ended, she was officially released on July 11th, 2013.
