Another VOCALOID has hit the double digits! VOCALOID 2 Sonika by Zero-G Ltd is now 10 years old! To celebrate, VNN member celestrai organized Sonikafest! Since late May, over 60 people have shown their love for Sonika by participating in events including tuning events, a zine, creating original songs and much, much more.
Both an official charm and – after a contest, a fan produced charm – were available for pre-order! This contest received 16 entries, of which nico (Pumpkin Head / galacticism) won.
