As we eagerly await the release of CeVIO AI, the software’s creator, Techno-Speech, Inc., continues to roll out entertaining voice synth project for fans. For instance, the “A・NA・TA for DREAM” song generator for the HELLO NEW DREAM. PROJECT has been made available for fans to try out online, creating songs out of synthesized voices for members of Arashi! Read on to learn how to try it out for yourself!
Background
The HELLO NEW DREAM. PROJECT is a project sponsored by no less than 13 different companies to encourage people to follow their dreams, or create brand new ones to fulfill. Their theme is “夢だけ持ったっていいでしょ？ (It’s okay if we only have our dreams, right?)” which comes from the song A・RA・SHI, the debut single of the Japanese idol group, 嵐 / Arashi.
Below, you can watch the Arashi members talk about their childhood dreams, and introduce the new project!
You can also follow the HELLO NEW DREAM. PROJECT by visiting their official website, following their Twitter account, subscribing to their YouTube channel, and by searching the hashtags #夢だけ持ったっていいでしょ and #HELLONEWDREAM on Twitter!
How to Use A・NA・TA for DREAM
A・NA・TA for DREAM is the name of the new song generator developed by Techno-Speech that recreates Arashi’s singing voices in order to sing your own created lyrics, and even your name!
