Template:Infobox Vocaloid

Tone Rion (兎眠りおん) is the name of a Japanese-language female Vocaloid3 developed by MoeJapan. She is noted for her cute, "nasal" voice. The name comes from the Kanji 兎 (Usagi, or Bunny) and 眠 (Nemuri, or Sleep).[1][2]

History

She was first seen in silhouette during October 14, 2011 and was revealed in a poster on October 21. Later during the Vocanama event, more of her official art, her demo and her website has been revealed, along with her twitter. Her release date was the 16th of December in 2011.[3]

Her small backstory states that she is 16 years old and was born in 2095, she is good at singing and dancing. Rion performs on the "Dear Stage" (ディアステージ / Dia Suteizu) located in future Akihabara set 100 years from the current time.

Demo Songs

Marketing

Rion Tone is the first Vocaloid to specifically be sold as "Moe" and first to focus on the Vocaloid Otaku based culture. Rion is the first to target this particular classification directly and her avatar mascot design and vocal are designed around the common considered moe traits of Japanese manga and anime characters.

VOCAFARRE 2011

On the 15th-16th of December Gumi , VY1v3 , Akikoroid-chan, Rion Tone, and Lapis Aoki appeared in a 3D concert at VOCAFARRE 2011

Vocaloid 3

Rion Tone

Template:Infobox voicebank

Template:Strengths

Her voice has been labelled Loli during the Vocanama. Since she is aimed to be a Moe-centered voicebank, her voice has a natural "nasal" undertone to it to match vocals commonly used for this genre in Japanese manga, animation and song. Primarily, she is a Vocaloid who is meant to sound cute. Her voice is "slightly robotic" and is "not focused on realism," but otherwise it is of a standard quality and is focused on maintaining its cute, innocent sound as it goes up and down the octaves more.

Template:Weakness

Much like other Vocaloids such as Hatsune Miku whose focus is not on the singer results, Rion Tone has a voice centred around maintaining its cute voice, but "does not naturally sound like a professional singer." It also has a raspy quality to it that may or may not suit all Vocaloid users. Overall this has "proven" to render Rion as one of the "lesser" quality new vocals for Vocaloid 3, because her singing results are the weakest of the releases that came out at the approximate time of her release. Some users find her vocal "hard to listen to" and "not attractive" due to its sound, likening it to the issues that also came with the Gachapoid software.

Demo Version

A trial version of this software was featured in VOCALOIDをたのしもう Vol.8 alongside a a trial version of the Vocaloid2 Hatsune Miku vocal.[5]

Popularity

Rion Tone was popular upon release with the Vocaloid Otaku crowd, although was not the most popular of the Vocaloids released in 2011. On 08/04/2012, research shows her as the least popular release for Vocaloid 3, having just 170 Nico Nico Douga hits, 63 Pixiv hits and 28 Piapro hits. Tone Rion also failed to get any songs in the Nico Nico Douga rankings in the week of her release and has stayed mostly off the ranking since release.

Trivia

  • The design has the distinct appearance of a 'cooking' maid. However, based upon her background, the design is meant to portray an Akibamaid (秋葉原 メイド / Akibameido), a cosplay girl whose role is that of waitress rather than a cook.

Notable for...

  • First MOEJAPAN Vocaloid released
  • First female Vocaloid released from MOEJAPAN
