On my UTAU, KEINE Tashi
Introduction
KEINE Tashi is a character and set of vocal libraries developed for the shareware 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.
I'd like to also announce that from now on I am dropping my previous UTAU projects other than covers and won't develop any new UTAU library

- Personality
- Tashi is somebody very calm, sweet… He really enjoy old books and manuscripts, and he LOVES meditate! He's never hungry, so, he can 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.
