KEINE Tashi is a character and set of vocal libraries developed for the
shareware [[http://utau2008.web.fc2.com/ ][UTAU ]], 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.

stay meditating for 2~3 days meditating, just like that, until he realizes
that he should eat something. And he always keep quiet, it's really hard to
make him angry.
But, when he is, be careful! He can use very rude words against the person
who made him angry, and it's very hard to calm him. But, for an unexplained
reason, his "victim"'s life become a lot better after that. Some people
think it's because he knew he had to use rude words to help his "victims"
in their life.

Although I cannot add anything to this legal notice, I would also like if you
followed the following rules of thumb regarding this character: any religious
use of this character and its vocal libraries is forbidden, with the exception
of folk music, and Buddhist and Bön songs. However, due to the current
controversy, any song of long life to the Karmapa is strictly forbidden until
said controversy has been officially resolved. This is also applicable to
Shamar Rinpoche and to Tai Situ Rinpoche. If you have any question or if you
are unsure, please shoot me an email.
