At the awards, LanCee performed an original song called 我筆下的世界 / Wǒ bǐxià de shìjiè (I Draw a Whole World), created just for the occasion. In addition to singing and dancing, LanCee even got to interact with the show’s MC! The performance was even aired on Taiwan Television at 5:00 PM (CST) on October 12.

Interfered Dummies feat. Xia Yu Yao Now Available for Pre-order

In celebration of Xia Yu Yao’s upcoming 5th anniversary, Voicemith will be releasing a new single called Interfered Dummies on vinyl record!

Why vinyl record? Voicemith has noted that compared to CDs, vinyl records create a more delicate, exquisite type of sound that one can almost describe as “warm” feeling. Furthermore, sales of CDs has dropped while vinyl record sales have been on the rise the world over, especially among a young demographics. So Interfered Dummies is being released as part of the Voicemith Vinyl Series, but only 200 of them will be available for pre-order, so Xia Yu Yao fans mustn’t hesitate!

Voicemith Confirms OSCAR neo

Voicemith fans, rejoice! OSCAR neo has been confirmed to be in development!

The confirmation comes from a post on Voicemith’s Facebook page. OSCAR neo’s existence was previously teased with a cover photo update a few days earlier.

In their confirmation post, Voicemith promises fans of Oscar’s current voice bank that they will not make any big changes with his neo bank, mainly just improve his singing and speech capabilities. His current voice bank will even still be kept available for anyone to download for free, with the possibility of further development for it if better voice synth technology presents itself.

神子 / Jinko will be in charge of character design for OSCAR neo, and his 3D model is being created by the MMD modeler 椛暗.

As for those who love Joan as well, fret not. Voicemith promises that they will also make a JOAN neo in due time!

Voicemith also mentions that there have been quite a few people asking about the 3D model for Xia Yu Yao as well. They assure fans that Yu Yao’s 3D model is actually already complete, but they are currently planning out her big debut, and will be letting fans know before long!

Finally, Voicemith thanks all their fans for their support, which these projects would not be possible without!

Updates on LanCee: Social Media Activity and First Music Video

If you have been following any of her social media accounts, you’ll know that LanCee has been quite busy this past month! When we last wrote about her, her debut video had just been uploaded online, but she has been up to much more since then. Here’s a recap of what you may have missed!

Following her debut video in Chinese, we soon got another one entirely in English! This may have been many people’s first exposure to her English voice, but to those who have played her Decrypt Game Round 2 and/or listened to her Mother’s Day message, the fact that she speaks English so well should not come as a surprise.

Through some social media posts on Twitter and Facebook, though, we started to learn more about her. For instance, few people probably knew that she has a spaceship until she tweeted about it!

It wasn’t just still photos of herself, though. She soon began tweeting and posting videos of herself doing dance and other rehearsals for a then unknown purpose. The activity paid off, too, because she quickly surpassed 100 followers on Twitter!

But still the question remained. Who is LanCee, and what will she be about?

The answers finally came when her creation history video was uploaded! Through it, we got to learn LanCee’s biography, personality, creation process, and much more!

We then got to see some of the topics that she would be making videos for as a VTuber in her follow up topics video! These topics include DJ-ing her favorite music (as DJ LanCee), giving us health tips (as Doctor LanCee?), playing video games, and more, showing us many facets of hers. We even got a video of her playing cmplt like a real VTuber already. She’s always taking suggestions, so be sure to leave comments on the videos!

But then her most exciting video yet came with her debut original song, Cosmos Dreams! In it, LanCee again demonstrates her multi-lingual abilities, as well as her singing and dancing skills. Watch the full video with credits below!
