Stardust’s official Bilibili channel now has Shian’s second demo song uploaded and available for listening! It has also been confirmed to be part of an upcoming album featuring Shian!

Full version here: https://www.bilibili.com/video/av54688174

Title: “寓言预见遇见你的那刻 / Yùyán Yùjiàn Yùjiàn Nǐ de Nà Kè (The Moment I Envisioned Meeting You in a Fable)”

Music, Arrangement: 小野道 / ONO
Lyrics: 赭柚奶 / Zhěyòu Nǎi

This song was actually revealed twice before to serve as voice samples for Shian, in which she only sang “pa pa pa”:

Please note that in an official post on Quadimension’s Weibo page, it is again mentioned that this song is not indicative of what her complete voice bank is capable of. This suggests that the song was also made while Shian is still under development, just like her first demo song.

Still, if you like what you hear, then you can pre-order Shian’s Synthesizer V voice bank here!

Next come the Dioramansion 150: Racing Miku 2019 Pit D and Pit E! From the product page:

“Displaying figures with a special display often makes a collection look more appealing, but at the same time preparing a special display case is a huge amount of effort. We heard the cries for an easier display option and created this Dioramansion series of display backgrounds! They are simple to use and can be used as a photography kit or simply as a complete display background! There are various different ways to connect the plates together allowing you to easily create your own customized display space for your figures! These new additions to the Dioramansion series are 150mm x 150mm in size which works great with Nendoroid figures! These Racing Miku 2019 designs capture the look of the actual Good Smile Racing Pit! The 2019 D/E versions feature cute Racing Miku designs by illustrator Annindoufu!“
