Kirune (機流⾳), also stylized as KIRUNE, is a Japanese Song Voice developed and distributed by Techno-Speech, Inc., and was released for VoiSona in December 2022.[1]
Kirune's voice is provided by Sho Kiryuin (鬼龍院翔), the lead singer from the Japanese band Golden Bomber (ゴールデンボンバー).[2].
Concept[]
Kirune was conceptualized as a 21-year-old android equipped with the singing AI voice of Sho Kiryuin, the lead singer of the Japanese band Golden Bomber. Unlike typical androids, Kirune is known for his passionate singing, and as a result, becomes overheated easily. Using vents throughout his carefully designed body, he is able to dissipate heat.[3]
Etymology[]
His name likely stems from Sho Kiryuin's last name.
Appearance[]
Kirune has pale plum skin, choppy purple hair with a yellow streak and light blue frosted tips. He has bright yellow eyes. He wears a black blazer-style jacket. The back of the jacket is see-through. Underneath this, he wears a white, tight fitting shirt with black quarter-length sleeves. The front of his shirt is cut out, leaving his abdomen exposed, partially covered by a thin purple mesh. On his chest is his name printed in purple, and a black strip that resembles a tie. On his back is a golden fan. Four smaller fans appear on his calves and heels. His black, tight-like pants are cut out in the back just below the buttocks, leaving the back of his legs exposed. The front of his lower legs are covered in blue futuristic designs. On his right thigh is a thick golden band with two large fans attached to it. A thick purple belt is tied around his waist, and attaches to a band just above his left knee. In his left hand is a gold microphone with same fan on it as the one on his back.
Kirune was illustrated by Japanese freelance illustrator TERU.
