# BSUP01 Keine Tashi
## Introduction
KEINE Tashi is a character and set of vocal libraries developed for
the shareware [UTAU](http://utau2008.web.fc2.com/), a singing voice
synthesizer. I developed KEINE Tashi over the course of several years,
from 2012 to 2015. Three vocal libraries have been released to the
public, the most used one being his **JPN Power Extend** one. On March
10th, 2017, I announced I would cease any kind of activity related to
UTAU.

Id like to also announce that from now on I am
dropping my previous UTAU projects other than covers and wont develop
any new UTAU library

## Character and vocal libraries
Here's a copy and paste of some old pages describing KEINE Tashi:
### Presentation

- **Codename**: BSUP01 恵音བཀྲ་ཤིས་ KEINE Tashi
- **First name**: Tashi (བཀྲ་ཤིས་), Tibetan name meaning "auspicious"
- **Last name**: Keine (恵音), Japanese name meaning "Blessing sound". It reads as "keine", although its regular reading should be "megumine".
- **Model**: BSUP (Bödkay Shetang UTAU Project)
- **Number**: 01
- **Gender**: male
- **Birthday (lore)**: June 28th, 1991
- **Birthday (first release)**: October 14th, 2012

Region (Chinese: 安多 Ānduō), colored in blue. He also wears some
turquoise jeweleries.

- **Character item**: a Tibetan manuscript
- **Voice and creator**: [Phundrak](https://phundrak.com) (me)
- **Likes**: to meditate, calligraphy, old books, manuscripts
- **Dislikes**: selfishness, lies, arrogance
- **Personality**: Tashi is somebody very calm, sweet. He really
enjoys old books and manuscripts, and he LOVES meditate! Hes
never hungry, so, he can stay meditating for 2 to 3 days meditating,
just like that, until he realizes that he should eat something.
And he always keeps quiet, its really hard to make him angry.
But when he is, his anger becomes wrath. Anyone who experienced it
can attest how complex and difficult it is to calm him down.
Strangely enough, shortly after being confronted by Tashi, the
victims of this wrath see their quality of life greatly improve.
Maybe these people needed to hear some truths they refused to face
before?

Lama, the Venerable Shamar Rinpoche, and Tai Situ Rinpoche. If you
have any question or if you are unsure, please [email me](/contact).
