The previously reported collaboration between Luo Tianyi and Shumen is in full swing, and there have been some exciting announcements for players!
Login Game
A login game is now playable on your web browser here. It can also be played on your mobile phone by scanning the QR code above.
The game is available until October 10, and it lets players roll a dice once a day to move around a grid and let Tianyi collect prizes for them. Please note that you will need an 11-digit Chinese cell phone number in order to play the game, however.
New Outfit and Contest
Tianyi now has a new design with fox ears and a tail by Catcan! Below, you can even find wallpapers featuring the design, which all come from here.
Furthermore, a contest is currently being held that makes use of the new outfit!
Between now, and October 16, fans are challenged to create something themed around “Sichuan Cuisine” and using Tianyi’s new design.
Acceptable entries include but are not limited to: illustrations, comic strips, chibi manga, clay sculpture, MMD model, etc., as long as it uses Tianyi in her new design and is themed around “Sichuan Cuisine.”
The Summer round of WonFes 2019 was in full swing last night if you’re in the western hemisphere and this morning if you’re farther east. We saw lots of VOCALOID related figures, although many we already knew about. There were also some previously announced figures possibly missing from the line up.
Unfortunately, a typhoon did dampen the excitement of WonFes and soaked many WonFes goers. So Twitter wasn’t as full of pictures from WonFes attendees as usual. But this is what we found from following Twitter throughout the event!
Miku Figures
Miku took up a good chunk of the VOCALOID related figures this time around. Surprisingly, there weren’t any new Nendoroids on display. But we did get to see progress on several scales as well as some new scale figure announcements and a new prize figure!
At Winter WonFes 2019, this 1/7 scale Snow Miku figure was announced. And now we have a painted prototype! There’s currently no news on a release date or pricing but we should have that information very soon.
Also announced at Winter WonFes 2019 was the Racing Miku 2019 scale! She’s now a fully painted prototype. Unfortunately, there’s no news on her release date or price either.
1/7 Scale Racing Miku 2013 Rd. 4 SUGO Support Ver.
And the last scale figure to be teased in the Winter and see some progress in the Summer is the 1/7 scale Racing Miku 2013 Rd. 4 SUGO Support Ver. figure by Aquamarine. Both the Racing Miku 2019 Thailand Ver. and Racing Miku 2018 scale figures do not have prototypes yet as confirmed by booth photos.
This figure is a bit of an odd one as the colored prototype was previously revealed at Shanghai WonFes. However it’s not the only one to not make an appearance at Summer WonFes 2019. Luo Tianyi Lemon Ver. was also missing.
Many fans were worried this figure may have been cancelled after not making an appearance at Winter WonFes 2019. Thankfully it’s still in production and even has a prototype now! We even have a video with a view from several angles.
The colored version of the much anticipated Luo Tianyi Yellow Version scale also first appeared at Shanghai WonFes earlier this year. Unfortunately, she didn’t seem to show up at Summer WonFes 2019. Hopefully this doesn’t mean a limited release to only China.
No HaiYi?
Another surprise was no update on the HaiYi figure previously teased by Quadimension. With the teasers coming so close to WonFes, many fans thought that the company would surely reveal the figure during the event. But that doesn’t seem to be the case. Hopefully we’ll see the figure soon!
That’s All For Now
Stay tuned to VocaSphere for more updates! Summer WonFes may have ended but there’s always more figure news as well as other vocal synth news and events! Be sure to keep an eye on our website, Facebook, and Twitter for updates.

Each year, Luo Tianyi’s anniversaries on July 12 are always a big deal with new songs, exciting announcements, birthday parties that fans can participate in, and more. 2019 proved to be no different! Here’s an roundup of what fans were able to enjoy this year for the Vsinger’s 7th anniversary.
New Song “Starlight”
The theme song to Tianyi’s 7th anniversary was revealed early on to be Starlight by PoKeR! With a beautiful new outfit and Tianyi with her playful dancing, the song is sure to be another crowd-pleaser at concerts.
Be sure to listen to the song here on Bilibili, and read up about it here in our previous report.
“If Tianyi Shrunk” Birthday Video
A rather unexpected but cute video called “ๅฆๆๅคฉไพๅๅฐไบ(If Tianyi Shrunk)” was uploaded next on her official Bilibili channel. In this video, Tianyi wakes up one morning to find herself tiny! It then shows how she spends the day with Mr. V in her smaller form, and how she eventually returns to normal.
The whole video can be watched here. In it, we’re treated to another rendition of Starlight, as well as another new song that was entirely in Japanese.

In fact, Tianyi’s official Twitter account – which caters to a Japanese audience – was dropping hints about the new song just the day prior to her 7th anniversary. She teased that she would sing it during her birthday party.

Then on her birthday, Tianyi’s Twitter reveals the credits for the song: Takeshi Ueda composing the music, and Seiko Oomori writing the lyrics. She then later revealed during her birthday concert that the song is called “Pink Blue,” and will be performed at this year’s Bilibili Macro Link VR concert! Now there’s something to get fans excited for! Stay tuned as more information on the song and its full release are revealed.
Towards the end of the “If Tianyi Shrunk” video, you may have noticed some adorable little Tianyi gashapon figures. These six figures are actually now available for pre-order from ACTOYS!

They feature Tianyi in her outfit from the Lost in Tianyi album, which you can review coverage of from last year.
Fans should know well the many collaborations that Tianyi has had with Mirinda. On her birthday, the soda company extended their birthday sentiments to her through a Weibo post that you can find here! The post even has an accompanying illustration of Tianyi in another new litchi-themed outfit, and the remark about how they are looking forward to her performance at Bilibili Macro Link VR next weekend. We already know that Tianyi and Mirinda have something up their sleeve for the concert, so stay tuned to find out exactly what they have in store!
Pizza Hut Collaboration Dress
Mirinda wasn’t the only company sending their well wishes. Before her birthday party started, Tianyi revealed on her Weibo the dress that she wore during her collaboration, now made into an actual, physical dress! You can see the post here, showing photos of the dress for all visitors to see.
You can see below for a recap of Tianyi’s collaboration with Pizza Hut last year, and what makes this dress so special!
Birthday Party Livestream
Finally, at exactly 7:12 PM on 7/12, Tianyi’s birthday concert and night of activities began! The party was also streamed online here (now just showing a montage loop). During the party, Tianyi performed several of her classic songs like I LOVE U, as well as the above-mentioned Starlight and Pink Blue!
Here are some screenshots from the big night:
300 Glamorous Heroes Collaboration
As you may catch sight of in the above screenshots, one of the videos played during the night was for the upcoming 300 Glamorous Heroes 2.0 and Tianyi’s character in it!

Today, July 11, the hit Chinese MOBA game, 300 Glamorous Heroes, entered its open beta testing phase for ver. 2.0. What should excite fans of VOCALOID is the amount of representation that the four Vsinger characters in the game will be getting in the update.
Trailer
The trailer reveals a new Tianyi unit, and suggests that she will play a prominent role in the game’s new story. It then goes on to reveal gameplay for YANHE’s new unit as well, plus other exciting game features and events.
And it’s no coincidence that July 11, 2019 also happens to be YANHE’s 6th anniversary! To celebrate, she has been added to the game, joining Luo Tianyi, Yuezheng Ling, and Mo Qingxian. Like the others, she was given an introduction video explaining her abilities.
