ROSA (ロサ) is a Japanese vocal developed by ZAN-SHIN Co., Ltd. in collaboration with AH-Software Co. Ltd. and distributed by Internet Co., Ltd., and released as an AI voice database for Synthesizer V Studio in June 2024.[4][5] She was previously released as a CeVIO AI Talk Voice speech voicebank in December 2021.[6] There was an interest in the possibility of creating singing and speaking voice libraries in English for both engines;[7] although it may still be a possibility for the case of her CeVIO AI Talk, the existence of Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis in Synthesizer V Studio makes a dedicated English voice database redundant.
Her voice provider is Shirayuki, a Japanese influencer and voice actress. She was the chosen candidate from ROSA's audition.
Concept[]
ROSA's theme color is pink and she is the youngest sister of the VOCALOID3 CUL.[8] She is a cheerful and mischievous person.[9]
ROSA was born in the Shinobi No Sato Ninja Village (忍びの里) with her older sisters which was under constant threat by hostile forces[10] and as such, was separated from her sisters for a long period of time.[11] Unbeknownst to her, she was entrusted to an old little church on a small hill where she lived together with the nuns to keep her safe. ROSA, who was actually the heir to CUL, had her name changed so that her relationship with her sisters was unknown.[12] For much of her life, she had believed she was alone and often questioned who she was and what her purpose in life is. One day CUL appeared to her and told her that she was ROSA's older sister.[13]
Etymology[]
"ROSA", a Spanish word, can mean "rose" (as in the flower), but was selected mainly for its relation to the color pink (which in languages like German and Spanish is also called rosa).
Appearance[]
ROSA wears a robe similar to a traditional Japanese Kimono, consisting of a black and pink top and a short pleated maroon colored skirt. The sleeves are decorated with soft pink roses and a curly white pattern. Around her waist is a black Obi (traditional Japanese belt worn around the waist.) laced together in the front. A red bow is tied in the back. The skirt of her top is adorned with the same wavy pattern as the sleeves. Her shoes are tall black lace-up boots reaching her knee. The heels are a deep red. She wears a black choker with silver detailing. Her hair is cut at an angle, stylized in a high braid to one side of her head. The color is a cotton candy pink with a crimson intertwined in the braid. She has many hair accessories, such as a red bow, rose hair pins, and a black ribbon. ROSA has reddish-pink eyes, and rosy cheeks.
