Project 575 is a crossmedia VOCALOID-powered franchise by SEGA.

History[]

Concept[]

Go go 575 crew

→ Koume, Matcha, Azuki, and Yuzu

The idea behind Project 575 was to create a way of forming songs to share online.[1]

Campaign[]

As part of the promotional campaign, it was revealed several people related with the VOCALOID stage participated in the project. Aside the participation of the illustrator and trance producer, Hiro Kanzaki, various producers participated, composing the songs included in the game.

Setting[]

The franchise is set in Kamakura , a city which was said to be the unofficial capital of Japan a long time ago. The plot behind the series is described as: A group of schoolgirls, bored of the daily routine, decide to perform songs in a haiku-esque format; and share them across the net (the concept itself being similar to the utaite and odorite fandoms).

Characters[]

The franchise consists of two main characters, Matcha and Azuki, and two side characters Koume and Yuzu.

The voicebanks of Azuki and Matcha were originally exclusive to video games released as part of the franchise, and were utilized in different features that needed VOCALOID's realtime synthesis.

Updated voicebanks of Azuki and Matcha were commercially released for the VOCALOID4 engine in July 2017, with no prior public announcement.

The side characters introduced in the series, Yuzu and Koume, do not have voicebanks, and no announcement has been made specifying a future release.
