Xin Hua fans may have noticed that she’s been rather inactive lately. She fell off the radar minus a few cameos in other promotions from her parent companies here and there. However, she’s now making quite the comeback! The V3 Chinese VOCALOID has received a makeover, and is getting both a V4 Chinese voice bank update as well as a brand new V4 Japanese voice bank!
Xin Hua V4 Update
Xin Hua has received a V4 update for her Chinese voice bank with a new illustration! Illustrated by ZARD, the redesign features a more magical-girl-esque design.

About VOCALOID 4 Xin Hua Japanese Version
Recommended Tempo: 80 ~ 200BPM
Recommended Range: G#2 ~ E4
This voice bank features the same artwork by VOFAN that is used for her V3 Chinese voice bank, but with a different color scheme. While Xin Hua is usually clad in pink and blue, this alternative design isn’t completely new. It’s been featured on her Cubase AI bundled version.
The Japanese bank comes with growl, as is standard for most V4 banks. However, it will also come with two voice banks that are capable of cross synthesis: Xin Hua Japanese Natural and Xin Hua Japanese Power!
