Vocarnival is excited to announce its first anniversary celebration of the year. Or, should we say, SeeUbration?
For SeeU’s 10th anniversary, we have a lot planned and are excited to share the love for the first Korean VOCALOID with the world!
Just like with our previous events, our celebration of SeeU will have lots to do; you can expect a charm design contest, an art zine, and even song composition events, so hopefully all fans of SeeU can find a fun way to get involved.
Although, unlike previous events, we’re going to attempt to make SeeUbration even better by having it go international! When we first teased the design for our event, the amount of support from Korean fans was overwhelming. We never expected such a modest event from overseas to attract the attention of SeeU’s Korean fan base. But since we did, we want to make sure this event is accessible to everyone! We plan to make all major announcements in Korean so that everyone who’s shown interest in the event can have access to all of the information.
We’ll be announcing event timelines soon but for the moment, we’d like to introduce ourselves to everyone new to Vocarnival!
What is Vocarnival?
Vocarnival is a non-profit fan-run event aiming to celebrate our love of vocal synths by celebrating their 5th, 10th, and 15th (and eventually 20th) anniversaries. While we don’t celebrate every vocal synth character, we do try our hardest to celebrate as many lesser-loved characters as possible.
Our goal is to spread the love of these vocal synth characters and give fans of them the chance to own merchandise of their favorite characters, thereby promoting creativity and unity within the vocal synth community.
About SeeUbration
SeeUbration is Vocarnival’s event to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the first Korean VOCALOID. Originally the intention was to celebrate her on our normal scale but after receiving so much support from Korean SeeU fans, we’ve decided we have to make sure this is an event of international proportions!
About The Design
For each Vocarnival celebration, we create a special, unique outfit design just for the event. This idea, inspired by the work of Vocafest, makes the event unique and memorable, and almost replicates the hype which often comes from the release of new voicebank character designs.
For SeeU’s design, our key concept was “How would SeeU look 10 years after her original debut?” When she first debuted, the idea behind her was that of a young, mysterious girl. But it’s been 10 years and she’s definitely no longer a mystery! Her fans have gotten to know her since then and she’s had a chance to discover herself over time.
We thought that, in ten years, she’d still be an idol but would also have become a fashion icon! She’d surely be on the pulse in regards to fashion trends, and we all agreed she’s probably updated her outfit and wardrobe quite a bit compared to the trademark look she was first revealed in. However, she is still SeeU and we made sure to keep many design elements that made SeeU recognizable as herself in our own design.
Her design and reference art is by the ever talented Kvro who’s done all of our Vocarnival designs since Dex and Daina Bash. We’re also going to be bringing back Hikus for our “official” event charm and Celestrai for the logo as they’re both incredibly skilled and we love their work! Then for the main attraction – the “official” full body art – we’ve commissioned the wonderful shg! We’re so excited to be working with all of these artists to bring you this event, and we hope you’ll enjoy the future merchandise created through such a brilliant collaborative event.
Planned Merchandise
Same as with the previous Vocarnival events we’ve hosted, we plan to have an “official” acrylic stand featuring the full body art as well as an “official” keychain/charm featuring a chibi version of the event design.
We’ll also be hosting a charm contest where the winning design will be voted for by fans. The winner will have their design made into a charm for the event and will receive royalties from the sales of the charm.
There are also a few more surprises we’re looking into for the event, seeing as everyone has shown so much support for it so far, so stay tuned for future announcements!
Oh, and no worries, we do ship internationally! So long as the United States is able to ship post to your country, we’ll be able to get the merchandise to you!
Planned Events
Here are the following events confirmed for SeeUbration. However, we may add more depending on our projected budget.
Charm Contest
Design a charm/keychain using the SeeUbration event design! Enter for your chance to win a merch set as well as royalties from each sale of your design.
Art Zine
Our collection of SeeU art featuring the SeeUbration design. Draw SeeU in her event design in any style you’d like and we’ll add it to our digital art zine.
Song Event
Create an original song or a cover of a song, making sure that SeeU as the main vocalist!
Entry Information
We’ll have more information on how to enter in the coming weeks. Each event will have an entry form on the Vocarnival website and we’ll make announcements on social media when the forms are up.
