Concept[]

Etymology[]

Her name, "Sachiko", was taken from her voice provider, Sachiko Kobayashi.

Appearance[]

Her design was done in collaboration with YAMAHA and Sachiko Kobayashi to create a singer who represents Japan.[1]

The calligraphy kanji 幸 (sachi) on the fan was written by Sachiko Kobayashi herself.

Her Obi is worn backwards. This was a style of clothing made popular with the Oiran courtesans.

According to her product page on the VOCALOID Shop, Midori Fuu said that Sachiko's kimono and headdress is based off the Yukitsubaki (snow camellia): the official flower of Niigata Prefecture which is Sachiko Kobayashi's hometown. It also references the title of one of Sachiko Kobayashi's hit songs.

History[]

Marketing[]

Two interviews with Sachiko's voice provider were uploaded on the YAMAHA's VOCALOID channel to promote her launch.[2][3]

A campaign between VOCALOID NET and YAMAHA called "Let's share your Sachiko song!" (あなたのSachiko楽曲をシェアしよう!) was published on VOCALOID NET's website to promote works with Sachiko via twitter.[4]

Her vocal also was exhibited at Hamamatsu Station in its exhibition space.[5]

Voicebanks[]

Sachiko
Sachiko is a voicebank designed for enka. It is a professional and specialized tool and was an example of YAMAHA's ability to capture the traits of a vocalist. It was able to take jerky vibrato results and is able to pitchbend easy, a trait not all VOCALOIDs can handle so easily for the same genre of music. She was intended to be a professional vocal for professional producers.
