If you’re a fan of ใใฅใผใใชใ / NeutrinoP and the GUMI songs that they produce, the you’ll glad to hear that VOCALOTRACKS is now distributing four new songs written by the producer in honor of GUMI’s 10th anniversary!
Today we’ve been blessed with updates regarding AHS‘s tenth anniversary celebrations – in the form of new merchandise! One of the first items announced was for Gumi…
One hoodie : ยฅ10,000 (with tax ยฅ11,000) Set of two hoodies and can badges : ยฅ20,000 (with tax ยฅ22,000)
…and it’s these cool hoodies! As well as the two hoodies, there is a set of two Gumi can badges available . The design is from October Beast, who has done various collaborations with bands and series from Japan already, including with AHS.
**UPDATE ON DECEMBER 18, 2019**
The parkas are now available on the official GUMI 10th Anniversary Goods store as well!
[You may be wondering why Gumi merchandise would be included on the AHS store (Gumi is actually from a different company!). But it turns out that AHS has actually been able to use her character as part of their “Kyaramin Studio” software, which allows you to easily make MMD-style characters dance when you input music. Definitely go and check out their website if you’re interested in making MMD videos yourself!]
Anyway, back to the new merchandise! As well as this, we have lots of Yuzuki Yukari, Kizuna Akari, Tsurumaki Maki and Tohoku sisters stuff which has been announced too:
It all looks so cool! I definitely want to get some for myself sometime. Preorders for the Gumi merchandise are open until 31st December 2020, while the rest are all available to buy from the website now.
That’s everything for the moment! Make sure an eye on our blog for more merchandise releases for your favourite characters!
GUMI’s 10th Anniversary merchandise page has updated today, announcing that more goods will soon be available on August 7! These products are open for pre-order on Amazon starting today.

A few months ago, Lorenly made an announcement on her Facebook page inviting various artists within the Hispanic VOCALOID fandom to be a part of the creation of an LP or EP, all in celebration of Megpoid GUMI’s 10th anniversary!
At first, the total number of tracks for this project wasnโt expected to be this much. But so many producers, musicians, illustrators and voice tuners answered Lorenlyโs call that the album went from being an EP to an LP, with a total of 12 original songs.
In addition, a new logo for what would later be the collaborative project โVocaloP Hispanos Colaboracionesโ was revealed. The following is the video premiere of the new collaboration from its Facebook page.
A few weeks later and near the albumโs release date, an update was made adding one more song, making for a grand total of 13.
The languages of several song from the album were revealed. What’s interesting to note is that although this is an Hispanic VOCALOID community collaboration and most of the songs are in Spanish, there are also English and even Quechua songs, which gives it much more diversity.
Participating Artists
Besides the songs, the album download also features a brief bio for each participating artist, even one that didnโt explicitly participate but did have one of his illustrations used.
You can access these bios by clicking on their respective Facebook posts, which include music producers, illustrators and voice tuners.
On June 26, 2019, the Ikebukuro VOCALOID Club will be putting on a DJ show called the “Ikebukuro VocaClub R Plan” (ๆฑ ่ขใใซใฏใฉRไผ็ป) in honor of GUMI’s 10th anniversary!
Ikebukuro VocaClub R Plan is a VOCALOID-only club event formed by SHO-, who wishes for more people to know about VOCALOID. One thing that makes this event unique is how it will be featuring mainly original songs rather than remixes. Add to that the fact that will be taking place on GUMI’s 10th anniversary, and it will for sure be a night to remember for attendees!
Date & Time
Wednesday, June 26, 2019 at 6:00 PM (JST)
Doors open at 5:30 PM to cosplayers, and 5:45 PM to everyone else
You can follow the event’s official Twitter account here, and its TwinPla page here for signing up. You can also search the hashtag #ใใซR to check out what people are tweeting about it!
