CUL’s 10th Anniversary Celebrations Underway
December 22, 2021 will be the 10th anniversary of CUL’s release!
While we are still waiting to see if there will be any official celebrations from Internet Co., there are already a bunch of fan-made events and activities – both online and offline – being planned in honor of the redhead VOCALOID, including those being organized by her creator, ヒロトP / HirotoP!
Read on for a summary of them all!
Projects from HirotoP
#CULNOZA2 Campaign
To get fans ready for CUL’s 10th anniversary, HirotoP has started a hashtag campaign on Twitter!
“We are cultivating young creators (and those not so young) for CUL’s the 10th anniversary and other projects!
“I feel like I’m doing exactly what I was doing 11 years ago! ^ ^
“By all means use the hashtag #CULNOZA2 with your tweets and express yourself!
“CUL supports the CULTURE made by creators!
“Looking forward to working with you!
To participate in HiritoP’s project, post your CUL fan art, song covers or original songs using CUL, CUL cosplays and anything that you think of with the hashtag #CULNOZA2 on Twitter. HirotoP will then review all submissions and share them on his weekly Saturday livestreams on his YouTube channel!
See below for his latest livestream:
Then look forward to the next one on March 20 at 6:00 PM (JST) and future ones which may feature your submissions!
New Company: ZAN-SHIN
Furthermore, HirotoP recently started a brand new company called ZAN-SHIN on March 3, 2021. The company is described as a music agency, a voice actor and talent agency, and a content creation company holding auditions, lessons and workshops for each sector. HirotoP will be ZAN-SHIN’s acting CCO, and expressed his desire to also someday create new voice synth software on the day that the company was founded! They will even be recruiting instructors, singers, voice actors, and musicians with the special mention of VOCALOID producers to their company!
A little more info about ZAN-SHIN can also be gleamed from HirotoP’s clubhouse page. On it, he adds that they will be producing live-action VR, projection mapping, 3DCG, motion capture and other digital contents. HirotoP also hints again on clubhouse he may be creating new voice synth software, and mentions that he has various projects planned for CUL’s 10th anniversary! How related those last two items are, we will have to wait and see!
Speaking of Clubhouse, the official VOCALOID CUL FANCLUB is also now up! It is of course run by HirotoP himself, and one look at the member list at the bottom of the page reveals that a certain CEO of a certain big-name voice synth company is among them.
With this in mind, it bears mentioning one look at HirotoP’s Twitter and Niconico account shows that he is now an avid user and supporter of Synthesizer V. What’s more, the last time a famed producer formed his own company with the goal of creating new digital entertainment, it resulted in the creation of a new voice synth character who is currently making headlines! Could we be seeing history repeat itself? Again, we’ll have to wait and see!
Make sure to follow HirotoP at @deecloud on Twitter and at ヒロトP （和泉ヒロト）on clubhouse for updates!
CUL 10th Anniversary ~CUL’s Party~ @ Osaka
HirotoP isn’t the only one with big plans for CUL’s 10th anniversary. 顧問P / KomonP is also planning a gettogether of CUL fans in Osaka called ~CUL’s Party~!
Official website: https://vassago2129.wixsite.com/mysite-8
Official Twitter hashtag: #CULパ
Organizer: 顧問P / KomonP
Main visual: 由杞 / Yoshiki
Advice: あきら / Akira
Special thanks: 春沢翔兎 / HALto2
The main visual by 由杞 / Yoshiki has been revealed in the above tweets, and merchandise made from it are expected to be sold at the VOCALOID STREET doujin fair later this month. One piece of merch is the CUL matchbox!
Why matches? It’s because the organizer associates CUL with fire due to her hair and character color, making a matchbox a pretty appropriate piece of CUL promotional material, when you think about it! One could say that it “matches” her well!
A venue for ~CUL’s Party~ is still being decided on, as is what kind of party it will even be. KomonP is thinking of making it a club or concert event, and is in search of a suitable location with a projector and screen.
To keep up with updates, follow KomonP at @YASUHIROFUJI, and search the hashtag #CULパ on Twitter!
**UPDATE ON MAY 3, 2021**
Part of the new song created for CUL’s Party has been revealed!
Title: 感情outburst / Kanjou outburst (Feelings Outburst)
- Music: DJ. BM
- Lyrics: 大天使ミコエル / Daitenshi Michoel
The lyrics were created with respect to the version of CUL created by the artist 春沢翔兎 / Harusawa Toto!
A summary of the above content can be found here on the website for 失いP / UshinaiP, an avid CUL supporter and provider of this article’s information to VocaSphere!
Make sure to give their latest original song a listen: Wonderful Revolution feat. CUL! Also give them a follow at @ushinai_p on Twitter and subscribe to their YouTube channel!
This year marks the tenth year of CUL, and we’re super excited to see how the preparations for the above projects and announcements will go! Make sure to support everyone involved in making these celebrations great, and feel free to join in with the fun yourself if you want.
