ROSE (ローズ) is a Japanese vocal developed and distributed by Bushiroad Inc. in collaboration with AH-Software Co. Ltd., and released as an AI voice database for Synthesizer V Studio in December 2023. She was originally released as a singing voicebank for the CeVIO AI engine in December 2022. She is the second vocal to be released as a part of Bushiroad Inc.'s BanG Dream! AI Singing Synthesizer project, Yumenokessho (夢ノ結唱, English; "A Dream Duet").
She is voiced by Aina Aiba, a Japanese singer.
Concept[]
ROSE is a representation of Minato Yukina, a character of the BanG Dream! franchise, originally developed for CeVIO AI. She was a third-year student at Haneoka Girls' High School at the time of her debut, however, as of the events of the BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! video game, she is currently listed as a first-year at the Yotsuba Women's University and is the leader and vocalist of Roselia.
On her official profile, Yukina is noted to be a powerful vocalist who sparks the admiration of the other Roselia members. She has a strong-willed and stubborn personality and doesn't smile much in public. She pursues her beliefs with reckless devotion, causing her to be blind to everything else around her.[1]
Bandori Project producer, Nemoto Yuki (根本雄貴), explained during the "BanG Dream! Summer Grand Presentation 2022" (バンドリ!夏の大発表会 2022) live broadcast that while the character is based on Minato Yukina, the Song Voice library is meant to capture the sounds of Roselia and was named ROSE as a result, short for the band name.[2]
Etymology[]
ROSE's name comes from Minato Yukina's band name Roselia.
Appearance[]
ROSE's appearance is based off of Minato Yukina. As such, they share many similarities, such as long, wavy, light grey hair with thick bangs, and fierce, pale yellow eyes. Her hair is adorned with a lacy off-white, translucent veil and three diamond-shaped spots of color. On her left cheek is a light blue and purple marking. ROSE wears a short dark grey sleeveless dress with a black rose print. Tied around the collar of her dress is a large, skinny black ribbon and a blue bow tied behind her neck. She wears black detached sleeves with frilly blue hems and thin thorn-like straps around her shoulders. Metal clamps with blue, futuristic detailing fasten over the sleeves and around the bend of her arm. A black ruffled corset with yellow strings and black buttons is fastened around her abdomen with a detachable blue and black-tiered skirt with the fabric being stylized to look like rose petals. She wears a pair of long, thigh-high black and purple high-heeled boots with black rings encircling her thighs adorned with orange, blue, white, and purple lights.
ROSE's illustration was designed and illustrated by yonemuro (米室), a Japanese illustrator.
