I think it's gonna be another Miku/Teto year but if not then the likely answer is Una
No.849
Honestly hope it's not Miku or Teto again. Miku has always been #1 and has a shit ton of songs already, and Teto has become #2 ever since her SV voicebank came out. But I'll take Teto over Miku just because she hasn't been in the spotlight until very recently.

All jokes aside i think Hibiki Koto has the biggest chance this year. There's been a lot of JP producers making songs with her, none of them has blown up yet but it doesn't seem unlikely to happen in a near future. Like
>>854 i'd kill for an Engloid revival but let's be honest that's impossible these days. All the companies who made those original EN voicebanks have left the scene a long time ago and ever since SynthV no one cares about the original english voicebanks, especially when popular ones like Teto can already sing in english.
No.1025
>>1023oh yeah, i'm not counting on it… but with neru's sudden rise in popularity, nothing's impossible! especially considering merli actually has a voicebank. it might just take someone meme-ing her into relevancy. though, i'm not sure what that would look like… merli was never all that culturally significant in the first place.
No.1029
>>1025Neru resurgence happened because of memes. People memed her into Mesmerizer for some reason and it took off in Japan as well. And it was further fueled by Caststation and 32ki themselves acknowledging the meme with the Triple Ryuunen art and Obsolete Meat.

No.1170
>>1169i mean, some vps aren't even singers, like kaai yuki's and a lot of the seiyuus (who technically sing but i don't believe they're as skilled as an actual professional singer)
No.1171
>>1168Prominent and famous voice providers are probably really expensive to hire, this is probably why we haven’t seen a REDCUL revival even though Hiroto and Zan-Shin are interested in it + Crypton keeps reusing samples
Had no idea Masuda left the music industry but that probably plays a part as well (at the same time, if you don’t sing any longer wouldn’t that just make it easier to release a singing synth?)

>>1171So this is why WHITECUL and ROSA exist? Never been a fan of those and the fact that they randomly decided to canonize them as CUL's siblings about 12 whole years after her release.

>>1172Not entirely sure but it would make sense! Rev was always supposed to get a VB but I never saw Hiroto or Zan-shin say anything about wanting to give the sisters banks prior to like the 2020s.
No.1177
>>1176I'm pretty sure the answer to that is just… Miku is who gets the views. Think about it; she's the one in the car commercials, the one opening for Lady Gaga… Everyone mistook Momo's cover of nyanyanya as a Miku song when Nyan cat got insanely popular. I'm pretty sure the thought process is "Miku is popular, why use money on other Voice Banks when my best chance at hitting it big is with Miku?" …or something like that.
It's kinda depressing tho tbh

>>1176Full write-up in picrel, but
>TL;DRWhile some producers sadly probably use only Miku because they "have" to and won't be able to get enough money or recognition to put food on their table if they don't, the Japanese side of the fandom is mostly waifufags who are using Miku because they genuinely want to.
>Are our favorite wholoids doomed to fade into obscurity?Lmao yes. I don't mean this with malice by the way, I'm a gigantic wholoidfag myself I just like being realistic.Don't let the lack of content discourage you anon! Let it motivate you to learn new skills and make content for your favorites, that's what I do. The amount of talented Yi Xi and Vimalion artists popping up lately are really inspiring to me. One of the main reasons I'm learning art and music production is so I can give my favorite wholoids some love
and Rule 34. With things like the popularity of Kafu, Yuki, Flower, Zundamon and VOICEVOX, and SynthesizerV even on the Eastern side I think Japanese VocaPs are becoming more open to using loids that aren't Miku.
No.1230
>>1226Oh, I feel better about it knowing they (well most of them ig?) just genuinely love her.
It kinda gives me hope one day someone will love one of my favorite wholoids enough to make a banger with 'em. (I don't have enough confidence in any of my skills to think I could do it myself, but I can still try, too.)
