Aiko has always been one of my favorites, especially for her english...its freaking amazing *is using her as my english reclist reference* And her design fits her, something that doesnt often happen with UTAU's (really soft voice+ really outgoing, strong look/personality.... it never seems to fit) but Aiko is a great UTAU.

AIKO~~~ xD

I haven't seen that picture of her before; is it new?

If you wanted to put her Kanji name up there, here you go: 気球音アイコ

@Rave
I think many UTAU suffer from major differences between voice and image because the voicers (conciously or unconciously) try to make the UTAU look and act like the kind of person the voicer wishes they could be.

I'm possibly guilty of this very same thing, though I did come up with the idea before I knew I would be voicing the character. ^^;

Aiko got lucky in a weird way then xD;

I designed her at first to match her voice in "Melt" which turned out to be her voice pitched up by 15... >_> *didn't know flags then*

So her name (hot-air balloon sound... supposed to be helium balloon but I used the wrong kanji) was meant to reflect that, and her design was originally more cutesy Miku-ish.

She evolved as I realized "hey... so she isn't a chipmunk after all o.o"

And yeah, that pic is pretty new. My style is a weird hybrid of anime and American cartoon so I felt like drawing an alternate official art for her in my own style c:

Hooray for American/Japanese hybrid styles!

Almost as awesome as Disney/Anime hybrid styles ;D Almost.
