History[]

2020[]

Throughout 2020, Hiroto-P had been composing tweets in regards to CUL and the many parts of her project. He revealed that REV was meant to become a VOCALOID, but his project fell through, and later revealed that CUL had conceptual sisters themed around the following colors: blue, white, yellow, and red. It was also confirmed that she had a twin sister known as BLACKCUL (Wet Crow). In response to a fan, Hiroto-P also expressed interest in updating CUL but did not give further details.[1]

2021[]

On March 20, 2021, HirotoP confirmed that ROSA, CUL's younger 15-year-old sister with a pink theme, was in production for a new AI singing and talk synthesizer developed by ZAN-SHIN Co., Ltd.,[2] seeming to suggest that VOCALO Revolution would no longer be producing any vocals for the VOCALOID software.

It was mentioned that ROSA's voice actress would be chosen via an audition taking place in April.[3] HirotoP also discussed the time when Eri Kitamura recorded for CUL and that she was directed to make a voice that was completely different to other VOCALOIDs, which resulted in a strong voice. The voice direction for ROSA's actress would be treated the same, though it depended on the results of the audition.[4] He expressed an interest in creating ROSA's singing voice database for Synthesizer V AI or CeVIO AI and a speech voicebank for A.I.VOICE or CeVIO AI, but the final decision would not be announced until April.[5][6] In addition, due to an unexpectedly high interest from western fans, HirotoP was also considering possible English singing and speech voicebanks for ROSA.[7]

On March 26, ROSA's illustrator was selected and would be announced once her final artwork was ready.[8] On March 27, ROSA's singing voice database was confirmed to be developed for Synthesizer V. This was chosen due to the synthesizer's ease of use and ability to use VSQx files.[9] On April 2, a recruitment post for users interested in creating songs and talk segments with ROSA was launched.[10] On April 3, HirotoP mentioned that the company was interested in collaborating with Internet Co., Ltd. in distributing ROSA since they distributed CUL's VOCALOID3 packages in 2011.[11]

On April 2, a recruitment post for users interested in creating songs and talk segments with ROSA was launched.[12] On April 3, HirotoP mentioned that the company was interested in collaborating with Internet Co., Ltd. in distributing ROSA since they distributed CUL's VOCALOID3 packages in 2011.[13] On April 3, HirotoP announced that ROSA's speech voicebank would be released for CeVIO AI.[14]

ROSA's audition was launched on April 17. The illustration was confirmed to be released soon.[15] Details and scheduling for the audition were noted on ZAN-SHIN Co., Ltd.'s official website for ROSA.[16] A preview of ROSA's face was shown on April 20.[17][18] On April 28, results of the first audition screening were revealed to be China Kitahara, Shirayuki, Juudenki, Minori Ninomiya, and Yuka Hiyamizu.[19][20][21] ROSA's lineart for both Synthesizer V and CeVIO AI were revealed on May 1 and the colored sketches (rough illustrations) were released on May 4.[22][23]

On May 8, Shirayuki was confirmed to be the chosen voice actress.[24][25] Recording sessions for ROSA began on May 14.[26] On May 15, Yoshida Iyo was confirmed to be the illustrator and the final artwork was shown.[27] Information about ROSA's crowdfunding campaign in collaboration with SSS LLC. was revealed and was confirmed to run from June 1 to June 30 on GREEN FUNDING[28]. The production project for ROSA's CeVIO AI talk voicebank would begin afterwards and the project's page would be published as soon as it was ready. At that time, ZAN-SHIN was considering a system that would allow overseas fans to participate. The release order was confirmed to be the following: Japanese CeVIO AI Talk, Japanese Synthesizer V AI, English CeVIO AI Talk, and English Synthesizer V AI.[29][30]

The start date for the crowdfund campaign was later changed to June 3 and procedures for overseas investors were being worked upon, but was confirmed that this may be delayed.[31] The goal was set to 7 million yen.[32] The crowdfund for ROSA's CeVIO AI Talk voice began on June 3 with six tiers for Japanese supporters and three tiers for overseas supporters. A sample of Shirayuki voiceacting as ROSA was made available in the campaign to give supporters an idea of what ROSA may sound like prior to creating her voicebank.[33] She was fully funded on June 30, a few hours before the campaign's end, with 112% funded.[34] Shirayuki began test recordings for the CeVIO AI's Talk library on July 22.[35]

On December 1, it was announced that ROSA was expected to release as physical packages and digital downloads on December 17. There were options to purchase her on her own or as a starter pack, and she was confirmed to obtainable through Internet Co., Ltd.[36][37] She released on December 17 as intended.[38]
