Stardust’s 2020 Birthday Celebrations + Stardust Minus Revealed
Stardust’s 5th anniversary has arrived at last, and Quadimension has prepared a lot of surprises in order to celebrate this special day! Let’s take a look at each of them.
New song, “零和Zero-Sum”
Let’s start with probably the most important news so far: Stardust has received a brand-new song entitled 零和Zero-Sum!
You can listen to it here!
But that wasn’t the only version of the song that was uploaded today.
On the new MEDIUM⁵ Bilibili channel, another version of the song was also uploaded, serving as the demo song for a new Synthesiver V voice bank called Stardust Minus, voiced by Sawako碎花子!
You can listen to this version here!
Music, Arrangement: KIDE
Synthesizer V Studio Tuning:瑞安Ryan
Character Design: xiao葉有囍
Minus is a new spin-off character created for for MEDIUM⁵ universe. This artwork features her in-game design, so her final voicebank artwork may actually look quite different from it.
Some people may have noticed already that Quadimension teased us with things about Minus since the end of July. At the time, all we saw was a silhouette, so we had no chance of guessing that it would actually be a brand-new character.
What are your thoughts about Minus so far? Do you like her voice?
