Who, or what, is Hanabi Spark?
花火 (hanabi) = fireworkThis highly experimental project is made of a passion for music, dance, art, and camaraderie, rolled into one big firework.
The goal of the project is to share that passion in a big explosion of shining sparks for all to enjoy, like a firework show.The program “UTAU” will be utilized to give Hanabi a voice.
The dancer @nekoscratchfever will provide the voice and portrayal.All are welcome in this space. Sparks will fly, and you’re invited to catch them.
What is UTAU? What is an UTAUloid?
UTAU is a Japanese voice synthesizer program, created by Ayame/Ameya. It is very similar in function and purpose to the traditional VOCALOID software. Unlike VOCALOID, UTAU is free for anyone to download and use.An UTAUloid refers to a voice bank made specifically for use with UTAU. These often come with an avatar and personality, designed by their voice providers, to represent them. There are many established UTAUloids, the first and most well known being Kasane Teto. Anyone with a microphone can record a voice bank of their own.Other examples of well known UTAUloids include Defoko (aka Utane Uta, the default voice bank included with UTAU) as well as Momone Momo, Sukone Tei, and Namine Ritsu.
What do idols have to do with this project?
Hanabi is not only an avatar for a voice bank, but also an idolsona. The voice provider's intention is to portray Hanabi as a character in order to entertain and share similar passions with like minded people.As of now, the progression of this project is divided into phases. Please see the schedule for more details!

All art of Hanabi featured on my page is drawn by me unless specified otherwise.I started off as a very casual user of the program UTAU off and on since 2013, mainly just experimenting with recording my own voice banks and plugging them into my favorite songs.I've been (mostly) active in the cosplay community since 2013 as well -- a hobby so near and dear to me not even the pandemic could pry it away from me.Feel free to follow my cosplay instagram alongside this one -- especially if you like role playing games or One Piece (;Disclaimer: I'm extremely shy and kind of awkward.
