History[]

2014[]

Naoki was originally released as Uchuu on June 22nd, 2014 with a Japanese CV voicebank.[4] An update to this voicebank with limited VC support was released a month later on July 22nd.[5] A new voicebank, a multi-expression VCV recorded with a new microphone was released on September 23rd.[6] A further VCV voicebank with improved pronunciation was released on December 22nd,[7] and Naoki's first multipitch and first full CVVC voicebank was released on December 31st.[8]

2015[]

There was a notable lack of updates in 2015, though multiple voicebanks were recorded due to an upgrade in microphones. Eventually, a multiexpression CVVC voicebank called ORION was released on December 22nd.[9] This voicebank featured Core, Power and Soft voicebanks.

2016[]

A new multipitch CVVC voicebank was recorded and released on June 22nd, called bancha.[10] This voicebank also featured a new outfit and design for Naoki. During the summer of 2016 many potential append voicebanks were recorded,[11] and a multipitch VCV, matcha, was released in beta form on September 9th.[12] This voicebank was later taken down. A further update to this voicebank, matcha++, was demonstrated but never released.[13] Multiple append voicebanks, such as a VCV called espresso,[14] two CVVC appends,[15] and a 9-pitch CVVC voicebank were also demonstrated but not released.[16]

2017[]

An English Arpasing library was recorded to assist in improving the system, but never released.[17] In December, a new multipitch VCV voicebank, reimei, was previewed and later released on December 22nd.[18]

2018[]

A new strong VCV voicebank called meigetsu was recorded in August and eventually released on December 30th with a new design and illustrations by Rikitoka and Jailbird.[19] All voicebanks other than reimei and meigetsu were no longer officially supported as of this point.

2019[]

Beginning in 2019, voicebanks were recorded in a studio environment. On April 2nd, Naoki was announced as a first generation member of the kemono idol group kemonomichi44 alongside other UTAU and original characters.[20] On April 21st it was announced that he would join the official unit Stylish☆Star, alongside other UTAU such as Shishido Leo.[21] It was announced that the unit would receive a song called WHITE OATH.[22] A new Naoki voicebank was tested in November, and it was announced that the UTAU voicebank would no longer be known as Uchuu formally.[23] On December 21st it was announced that all previous voicebanks were discontinued.[24] The voicebank tested in November was released as Amano Naoki -quarter- on December 22nd.[25]

2021[]

On December 16th, xuu mentioned that he wanted to do something special for Naoki's 8th anniversary. He felt that an AI voicebank would be "cool" but was uncertain about how high the quality would be.[26] On December 25, xuu announced that he was recording a NNSVS voicebank for Naoki, which would be compatible with ENUNU.[27] On the next day, he mentioned that he'd recorded 13 songs out of the planned 40 for reference for his AI database.[28] A early sample of Naoki AI was released on December 29. So far the database has only seven songs, or about 20 minutes of data programmed. Namine Ritsu's AI Singing Database Ver.2 was used as a reference.[29]
