Template:Infobox Vocaloid

VY1 (acronym for "Vocaloid Yamaha 1" [1], also codenamed "MIZKI" during development [2] ) is the first of the VY series developed by Yamaha and produced by Bplats,Inc. It was released in deluxe and standard editions on September 1st, 2010.

Concept

Unlike past Japanese Vocaloids, VY1, along with the voicebank's partner VY2, have never had an official avatar established for them, with the aim of allowing for creative freedom that other Vocaloids do not.

The refined version of the character "Kiku Kobushi" from the VesFes contest has been used as a concept for VY1, but has not been established as her official avatar.

Etymology

The original VY1 codename for "Mizki" is a reference to hanamizuki

Album VocaloidSP-CD

VY1 album cover

The standard version of the software has just the Vocaloid software included. The Deluxe edition comes with a free CD featuring a number of tracks by different producers, along with the configuration they used for the song and their own interpretation of the Vocaloid. This also provides users examples of how the voicebank could be used as well as offering ideas and suggestions for their own songs. The producers used were already known producers gathered from Nico Nico Douga and Youtube to help demonstrate the new standard Yamaha hoped to set with VY1.[3]

Due to the professional design of VY1, the vocal often appears in use for apps and equipment that involves derivative products produced by Yamaha, either on its own or with VY2.

VOCALO Revolution

VY1 was used as the voice for VOCALO Revolution's "CUL" mascot character. The voicebank featured in the shows introduction, the PV "白の季節" and the closing credits of the show.

VocaFes Winners

At VocaFes 2011, two winners were announced whose images will be used for VY1 and VY2. However VY1's redefined version was not presented alongside the original artwork like VY2's was because of an error. Previously, it was announced they would host a competition for everyone to design mascots for the characters as a method of perceiving what the fandom thought of VY1 and VY2.[4]

Rimiko won for VY1's design which can be found in her pixiv account. Manbou no Ane won for VY2's design.

Additional information

Popularity

VY1 was first announced during the time when the focus was on Lily, and comparisons between the reaction in Japan towards Lily and VY1 have been noted and often brought up. Whereas Lily had many songs upon her release, VY1 was apparently slow to gain popularity. However over time, VY1's biggest hits in Nico Nico Douga were to come from 'new' producers who had never uploaded a work using 'Vocaloid' before.

A independent Vocaloid search on Nico Nico Douga revealed that most Vocaloids had less then 1,000 videos uploaded on Nico Nico Douga in between July 1 and December 15 2011 with VY1 falling into that category as well.[6]

Trivia

  • VY1 voiced VOCALO Revolution's introduction and credits, with CUL being the mascot character. Consequently, many fans have confused VY1 and CUL as being the same Vocaloid; as later CUL herself was announced to be a Vocaloid3. VY1 and CUL (Vocaloid) have no relation whatsoever for VY1 only voices VOCALO Revolution's videos.
