Yuzuki Yukari Mฮผ Project Announced by Chihiro Ishiguro

**Rivision History**

December 23, 2019: The crowdfunding campaign has reached 100% completion, and in less than a day after starting! Congratulations to Ishiguro-san and all who contributed! Ishiguro-san is now coming up with stretch goals which we will report on once they are announced.

December 29, 2019: The first stretch goal has been announced! See the ‘Stretch Goals’ section below for more information!

January 11, 2020: The first stretch goal has been fulfilled!

January 21, 2020: A second stretch goal has just been announced! See the ‘Stretch Goals’ section to learn about it!

January 29, 2020: Ishiguro-san’s birthday livestream content now revealed!

February 4, 2020: Videos of the new design and 3D model for Yukari Mฮผ from the livestream now shared on Twitter!


Prior to the Yuzuki Yukari & Kizuna Akari birthday livestream on December 22, 2019, Chihiro Ishiguro has been teasing fans about a big new announcement concerning CHIHILAB! that she will make during the livestream.

And towards the end of the stream, she made good on her promise, announcing what she calls the 2.5D Yuzuki Yukari Mฮผ Project!

The term 2.5D refers to a character that this not completely 2D (like a fictional anime or video game character), but not full-on 3D (a real person) either. 2.5D is instead used to refer to a fictional character who is manifested in the real world in a more substantial way than simply drawn on paper or animated in a cartoon. Fans of VOCALOID concerts or Vtuber videos – where the fictional character’s persona, voice, image, personalities and more are manifested to make them seem almost real – perhaps understand this concept the best.

And now, Ishiguro is creating her own in-house developed version of Yuzuki Yukari to use in a variety of media like livestreams, VR concerts, and more in real time (as in nothing pre-recorded); all of her spoken sentences and movements would be done fully live and on-the-spot by Ishiguro herself. Again, think Vtubers. To this end, she has started a crowdfunding campaign called Chihiro Ishiguro x Yuzuki Yukari! Let’s make the 2.5D character ‘Yuzuki Yukari Mฮผ’ together on CAMPFIRE!

Project Overview

Letter to Fans

Readers may remember how Ishiguro retired from her agency earlier this year in June, and formed a new independent company called CHIHILAB! As has been her way of making announcements recently, she penned a letter to fans that can be read on the crowdfunding site:

Long time no see, everyone! This is Chihiro Ishiguro.

I’m writing to inform everyone that CHIHILAB! is taking on a brand new project that we’ve never done before. It’s the 2.5D Yuzuki Yukari Project!

This is something that I’ve been preparing for tirelessly ever since becoming independent this summer. I’ve consulted with VOCALOMAKETS, and received backing from so many different creators! I have been practicing my singing and my dancing a ton for this day.

I’ll be working hard in order to give fans who love Yuzuki Yukari many more fun activities for us to all enjoy together! I appreciate your continued support!

Chihiro Ishiguro

Creation of Yuzuki Yukari Mฮผ

Illustrator: LAM

LAM designed Yuzuki Yukari Mฮผ to be suitable for live performances, which will be her key function. LAM is known for designing for VR fashion shows like FAVRIC, for VR mystery adventure games like Tokyo Chronos, and even the Vtuber Kujo Ringo, making them the ideal designer for Yukari Mฮผ. LAM even got input for cute accessories to add from Ishiguro herself!

Theme song producer: ๆกœๆ‘ ็œž / Shin Oumura, a.k.a. ็”บๅฑ‹ / Machiya

Hokkaido native Machiya will be writing and playing the guitar for Yukari Mฮผ’s theme song.

VR tech support and 3D modeling: Masafumi Mikami and Yakuya Ikarashi of Gugenka

Other Collaborating Artists

Here are the VOCALOID producers whom Ishiguro will be collaborating with and lending their support for song-writing:

If the Project Hadn’t Been Started

Although Ishiguro has laid all the groundwork for the project by herself, it won’t be successful without the necessary funds. So now that the project has begun, donations are appreciated!

Stretch Goals

If the crowdfunding campaign reaches 100% completion, stretch goals will be considered. Besides the obvious like new outfits and other improvements for Yukari Mฮผ, Ishiguro promises to think up many other uses for the extra funds that will please fans.

**UPDATE ON DECEMBER 23, 2019**

In a new update, Ishiguro-san thanks her supporters with the following message:

To all supporters…!

Thank you all for making the Chihiro Ishiguro x Yuzuki Yukari! Let’s make the 2.5D character ‘Yuzuki Yukari Mฮผ’ together project garner such amazing support.

In not even 24 hours since the crowdfunder launched, it managed to raise the targeted ๏ฟฅ2,5000,000 JPY, which means that the project can now officially begin.

This makes me so happy that I still feel like I’m dreaming…

I’m also truly grateful for all the people who have shown their warm support and encouragement through Twitter…!

This project has been one that I’ve been wanting to make happen for such a long time, and which I take as a serious challenge. Like many of you, I love Yukari dearly, and as a single user of hers, I will do my utmost best to make this an even more enjoyable project for fellow users and lovers of VOCALOID and VOICEROID as we take this challenge on together.

We’ve managed to raise ๏ฟฅ2,500,000 JPY for this project, but given how large-scale it is and how little time we have, I would like to humbly ask the creators for more of their generous help and cooperation with it. Even this new stretch goal is one that I’ve decided on after only a short amount of consideration time!…

I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to all the creators who have lent me their strength…!

Thank you all so much!

And with that, Ishiguro-san has announced the new stretch goal of ๏ฟฅ5,000,000 and what she will do if it is reached!

โ‘  Request the producer ใชใใ‚ƒใ‚€ใ‚Šใ‚ƒ / Nakyamurya to create a new song for Yukari Mฮผ

โ‘ก Have LAM create a new illustration for Yukari Mฮผ

โ‘ข Use said illustration for a new outfit and 3D model for Yukari Mฮผ

Ishiguro-san even asks fans to express what kind of Yukari Mฮผ they would like to see, asking that they tweet their thoughts on Twitter with the hashtag #็ตๆœˆใ‚†ใ‹ใ‚ŠMฮผ!

**UPDATE ON JANUARY 11, 2020**

The first stretch goal of ๏ฟฅ5,000,000 JPY has been reached, and now the new song and illustration from Nakyamurya and LAM will be made!

**UPDATE ON JANUARY 21, 2020**

Now a second stretch goal has been announced! Ishiguro-san explains the new goal and even the new donation options below:

Thanks to everyone’s ever growing support, we’ve reached our stretch goal on January 11, 2020! Thank you all so, so much!

The aims of this stretch goal were:
ใƒปHave LAM design a new illustration and 3D outfit for Yuzuki Yukari ฮœฮผ
ใƒปHave Nakyamurya create a new song for Yuzuki Yukari ฮœฮผ

And now the above goals will definitely happen!

I can’t wait to show everyone the new outfit! Thank you to all who submitted your suggestions on Twitter!

Taking everyone’s opinion into account, we will be creating all sorts of variations to Yukari ฮœฮผ’s concert outfit. Our concert preparations have been proceeding smoothly, and I look forward to the day when we can present it to everyone.

Now that we are 300 supporters strong and have just over a month remaining in the crowdfunding campaign, I’m now adding a second stretch goal! And this will probably be the last one, too…!

Second stretch goal: ๏ฟฅ7,500,000 JPY
โ‘  ๆกœๆ‘็œž / Shin Oumura to create a 30-second anime music video for Yuzuki Yukari ฮœฮผ’s theme song
โ‘ก ใ‚ใ˜ใฟ / Ajimi to create a song for VR use, and ใƒใ‚งใƒชๅญ / Cherico to serve as the illustrator for the song’s music video

If the stretch goal is reached, we’ll improve on the illustrations being used for the music video, and make many more videos with them.

Closing Remark

To everyone…

Thank you for reading up to this point. This is Chihiro Ishiguro.

I have been a voice actress for 10 years now. Among all the different roles that I have played, Yuzuki Yukari is especially precious to me.

What I would like is for more people to know about Yukari, and want to work together with creators who use her! That’s is the dream that I wish to fulfill!

In order to accomplish this goal, I’ve stopped being a voice actress who plays many different roles, and have founded CHIHILAB! in order to walk my future path alongside Yukari alone, a drastic change in my life.

This new project that I’ve formed is like a culmination of all my wishes.

I’ve utilized everything that I have learned and all my strengths developed as a voice actress, as well as all the physical endurance that I’ve developed from exercises like dancing and swimming, in order to get this project set up.

This is also the first time that I’ve reached out to so many people in this line of business for help and assistance. I’ve had many talks with people who run platforms for VR shows, worked together with many real-time live show specialists, and perform checks on all the equipment!

All of this has been a completely new experience for me, and it would give me great pleasure if I could work together with all of you and make the process a truly enjoyable and exciting one for all of us.

I absolutely love Yuzuki Yukari!! Do you all love your own version of Yukari as well?

From here on out, I wish to accomplish all sorts of goals along with anyone else who also loves Yukari!

This may just be one small step, but it could turn out to be an important first step towards an amazing future! In order to make that happen, I need everyone’s support. So, will you take my hand in yours, and let us walk this path together?

Looking forward to working with you all!

-Chihirose (Chihiro ishiguro)


We at VocaSphere want to commend Ishiguro-san for her tremendous courage and equally tremendous effort to start this new undertaking in her life, all inspired by her deep and heartfelt love for Yukari. It is our hope that she finds nothing but success in this endeavor, and meets many like-minded fans along the way to support her in all her goals.

Wishing Ishiguro-san all the best, and wishing for anyone reading this who feels inspired by her to lend her some of your support!

Yuzuki Yukari x eyemirror Collaboration Announced

During the Yuzuki Yukari & Kizuna Akari birthday livestream, one of the new announcements made was for the collaboration with butler glasses designer, eyemirror!

To explain the collaboration, Eiji Tsuneda of eyemirror came on the livestream show to mention how eyemirror – which often does collaboration with anime characters – has been interested in doing a collab with Yukari for quite a while, and have talked privately with AHS president and CEO, Tomohide Ogata, and with Yukari’s voice provider, Chihiro Ishiguro. And now, they finally decided to make it happen!

Images of the glasses were then shown, revealing that will come in three colors: purple (Jun), sakura pink (Onn), and navy blue (Lin), each representing a different V4 voice bank for Yukari. They are all under-rim glasses that have been proven to be quite popular among eyemirror customers. Their sides are adorned with Yukari’s rabbit mark and a moon icon while their front rims have an equalizer design around the frames. As for the tips of each each pair of glasses, they were designed to look like Yukari’s shoes for each of their respective versions of her.

After explaining their designs, Ishiguro, Madoka Yonezawa, and Tsuneda himself even tried on each of the glasses to show off how they look!

The glasses will make their debut during the Kono Koe Todoke, Tsuki Made Mo (a.k.a. Koetsuki) doujin event to take place on February 11. eyemirror is in talks with other major glasses retailers like Washin Opticals to get them available elsewhere afterwards. At Koetsuki, they will be sold with frames only, but lens of any kind (such as for sunglasses or PC glasses) can be added in.

During the livestream, a life-size panel of the main visual of Yukari for the collaboration was revealed, as was a work-in-progress illustration by Juu Ayakura. Tsuneda explained that illustrations will be used for goods such as clear file folders. Another piece of merch in the works revealed was the glasses cases bearing all three of the Yukari rabbit marks!

Tsuneda announced that a single pair of glasses with goods bearing the design by Juu Ayakura will cost ๏ฟฅ15,400 JPY. He also gave some estimated prices for additional parts and services that buyers maybe be interested in:

Shipping costs for online orders: ๏ฟฅ550 JPY
Lens: ๏ฟฅ6,000 JPY

An official site has also been set up for the collaboration goods, so be sure to check it for updates!
