Even the notoriously anti-Korean inhabitants of 2ch are praising Korea’s new Vocaloid design for her excellent design – behold See-U:
The music:
More art by the designer, Kkuem:
Supposedly she is an awesomely cute cosplayer as well (although the usual cautionary statements about cosplayers, idols, women and Koreans all apply):
Vocaloid fans also cannot help but notice how superior her efforts are to the latest Japanese Vocaloid…

She sounds nice but miku is still and forever will be number 1 for me =)
just draw miku with better style than this one .. and tada ~ miku looks better than anyone, miku FTW
im sure 2chan only means korean guys.... im began to feel sorry for 2chan...those guys r just anti-social
Actually, 2chan is becoming a huge social player in Japan these days, and is no more a forum only for otakus as it used to be back in 6~7 years ago... Many politicians appear on Nico Nico Douga including President of the LDP etc, most of the well read-blog sites in Japan are based on 2ch sources...
get out here
now.
seriously
GTFO.
Very nice! Can't understand a word of Korean though. From all the Vocaloid music I've heard, I'm pretty sure that none of them were able to sing to this kind of music very well. I wonder how much of her I'll be seeing.
lol korean word r hard to catch, lol, korean lack of fidelity ?
korean making music with crap equipment .. haha .. that's it
Not too bad actually, sounds pretty decent aside from the fact that there's just too much... "computer" in her voice unlike Miku where you can actually hear a more human voice which is best.
Nice artwork too and not too bad of a RL look either, not a bad start at all :)
I speak Korean and Japanese, and I think that Japanese language is just better suited to Vocaloids. She sounds "good" but the computer in her voice is to disguise the syllable separation. Although Korean does have distinct Syllable groups, like Japanese, it also has terminal consonants. (Japanese only has one: N) That basically means that the Korean pronunciation sounds about as good as her pronunciation of "Fantasy". Anyway, I do like this vocaloid, and I hope they produce more Vocaloid K-pop.
I dono, the opening part of the song sounds a lot more human than most I've heard. Though as you get further into it you certainly can her the computerized effects coming through. Though, "she" still sounds pretty awesome. The song is great.
lol the song is that great ? or your ears just a fakes ?
I'm actually rather impressed.
A great addition to the vocaloid family.
SeeU N.T.
:D
I see what U did there.
It's pretty awesome and I like the more computerized sounding voice of Vocaloids. It's cool that they are getting more and more human sounding, but at the same time, there was that bit of computerized sound that drew me into Vocaloids in the first place.
The only problem I have is, the voice doesn't seem to match up with the excessively cute face.
I agree, the voice and face don't exactly match.
THIS! The voice is way too.. uhm.. mature-ish? Too not- IT JUST DOESN'T FIT. OKAY? :I
lol korean and chinese quality = die
I'm unsure why all you people are complaining she is voiced by an actual 17 year old.
If you want voices that don't match the characters then look at Nekomura Iroha, I think SeeU is a perfect match.
i dont care if her is 17, her voice just not match
i'm fine with the voice-character matchups, it's just that the one pic of SeeU up here makes her look pretty young. in a different pose perhaps?
wait until the fanart comes out, people will be changing their tune.
>watches video...
>*jaw drops in awe*
face aside, this is a vocaloid O_O!?!?!?!??! impossible!!!!!!!!!!! i might just fall in love with k-pop at this rate.. let alone the voice of this new vocaloid...@_@
I hope you know how much Autotune is used in K-Pop songs so it is pretty easy to make her sound like the 'real' thing...
yeah seriously i understand this is a digitized vocal program but it sounds like they added an extra layer of auto tune on top of it :/
yeah i kinda feel some barrier/layer that makes weird sounds .. sounds feels restricted
Oh good, it would suck to know that K-pop singers sound robotic.
I look forward to listening to their classical or anything non-pop.
Too bad Koreans don't do full nudity, sex engrossed artworks.
They just make concept arts for mmorpgs with ridiculous tease.
Pro:
-Awesome design
Cons:
-Sounds like a 28~35 year old woman, on contrast with 17 "pichi pichi" year old Miku-sama.
A side note: Even when Korea implements as much english words in their regular vocabulary as japs do nowadays(or else introduce none, I dont like it half-assed), still wont get enough fame to rival crypton vocaloid. For now its a "nice try" only.
Whatever, Korean designs are my cup of tea and its easier to learn Korean than to learn Japanese so I support this!
You still get more benefit out of learning Japanese, then korean ~ if you're otaku
Of course Japanese will always be better, but even knowing Korean opens up a whole lot of anime world. Getting anime stuff in Korea is hella easier than getting it shipped to US or virtually any other country.
it's not about easier getting the stuff lol ! it's about the quality .. old hag .. bwahahaha
okay design soo cute but i think many ppl in this world can surpass that design, about the voice .. old hag ?
i dont really get the people complaining about the voice...
since she is actually voiced by a 17 year-old (unlike miku and the others who were voiced by older seiyuus) i think the problem you have is with the fact that she doesn't sound like "cute" or "young" in the anime-ish way? because despite what most people seem to think, most teenagers don't sound like Miku, Yui and the like but more like this...
Love that art style, and quite a looker IRL.
But those dumplings... THOSE DUMPLINGS....
At first I was like "meh" about her design, but it grew on me really quickly. I'm still not sure about the kitty ears and "nyaa~" mouth, though.
The voice sample was rather impressive, IMO.
the songs dont grow in me, i prefer nanahira then~
Nice song, and she looks good too.
lol only looks good, autotune spams ?
Sounds better than Japanese vocaloids, but then again, I don't speak Korean.
lol autotune
I'm shocked it was a g-g-g-girl!
I like it! Korea deserves more love!
they deserve a china invasion
agree ! korean quality closer to china than jp
I thought that youtube link was a real person singing >_< wow
hmm didnt find it rly clean =/
yup that's chinese/korean quality, they add a bunch of make-up making those songs explode
Love the art work especially pic #4, 7 & 9. My kind of 2D girl. Really cute!
The music is really good too but as somebody here already mentioned, the synthesized voice and the artwork doesn't match up well.
If they could "sweeten" the voice up by taking some of the "machine" out of it they'd have a big winner IMHO.
Oh my god, she draws so many blonds, and she draws them so well... *_*
If she was my wife I'd just tell her to get back to the drawing desk; screw the kitchen!
Food's on me! Just keep feeding my soul! <_<
Ahem... haha...
Auto-tune! *salutes*
God bless you!
