Incredible how this 51 year old athlete, made a furor in the social networks.
Mindblowing.

Didn't need any fancy kit, just a sharp eye and a steady hand is all it took to get that silver medal. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside as a Turk.

    Context: On August 2019, Crypton Future Media decided to switch from using the VOCALOID engine to their own Piapro Studio engine, meaning among other things that Hatsune Miku was no longer a VOCALOID starting from the Hatsune Miku (NT) voicebank onwards. Ever since then, the Piapro engine has been criticized by users and listeners for various faults and deficiencies.

    Meanwhile, on October 12, 2022, the next iteration of VOCALOID, VOCALOID6, was announced. And to everyone's surprise GUMI was also revealed alongside that announcement to be the first non-standard V6 voicebank, GUMI (AI Megpoid). She hadn't received any news or updates for years until that point so it felt very out-of-nowhere.

    Finally, after five years of no major updates to the Piapro engine, at the start of this month (August 1st, 2024) Crypton announced that they would be returning to VOCALOID for Miku's next voicebank, Hatsune Miku (V6 AI). (Though they also announced a new version of Hatsune Miku NT so they may not have given up on Piapro completely.)

    Sure. If there's anything left after rolling for Ibuki and Avalon, they're all yours.

    Update: Got 2 Ibukis in 14 summons, Avalon in 145 summons, and didn't get Skadi in 178 summons (just multiply by 3 to know how many SQ I used).

    Reisen: Wait, Tewi! Stop right now!
    Tewi's sign: Prank successful!
    Tewi: I'm not stopping, usa!
    Reisen: I'm getting mad!
    Tewi: So what, usa?

    "Usa" is an abbreviation of "usagi" (兎), which means "rabbit" in Japanese. Tewi, being a youkai rabbit, uses this expression as a kind of verbal tic or catchphrase that reflects her rabbit nature. It's similar to how some characters in media have a distinctive speech style that highlights their identity.
