Product Developer Summary
Koharu Rikka TOKYO6 ENTERTAINMENT

Koharu Rikka is a Japanese female voicebank (VP: Yoshino Aoyama) developed by TOKYO6 ENTERTAINMENT. A crowdfunded vocal, she was originally announced as a new VOICEROID2 project, to which a stretch goal including a singing synthesis database was added, which was reached on June 7, 2020.[34] It was confirmed in the press release by AHS that she would be receiving a Synthesizer V voice database.[35] Her VOICEROID2 bank was cancelled in favor of a CeVIO AI Talk Voice.[36]

Assumed cancelled vocals[]

This section contains unreleased voicebanks that are likely or assumed to be cancelled in the absence of further information.

Product Developer Summary
Tohoku Zunko English SSS LLC.

On November 22nd, 2019, during a VOICEROID 10th Anniversary livestream, an English version of VOICEROID was announced by AH-Software, with Zunko being the first announced voice that would be funded via a new crowdfunding campaign.[37][38] On January 1st, 2020, Zunko's Twitter revealed that their current goals for the year were to crowdfund for her English voicebank.[39] On March 26th, Zunko's Twitter announced that the beginning of the campaign was delayed due to Zunko's English voice provider having too busy of a schedule to work around, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic making scheduling difficult.[40]

On December 25th, it was revealed by some producers that VOICEROID development had silently ceased due to conflicts between AH-Software Co. Ltd. and AI, Inc., developer of the AITalk software which VOICEROID was based on (and which also powers AI's new A.I.VOICE program, which AHS did not adopt).[41][42][43] This brought development of Zunko English to a halt, with no indication of whether it would be cancelled or moved to a different text-to-speech engine like CeVIO AI. With AHS announcing VOICEPEAK Zunko two years later, there is a chance for Zunko English's development to be revived on the new engine, but so far no news have been published.
