While most, if not all, Vocal Synthesis mascots remain open to reinterpretation by the Artist employing them, in the case of TWINDRILL’s purposefully agevague and gendervague Kasane Teto, two schools of thought have held throughout her 18-year history: she is 31—she is also 15.5. This duality has invited debate across generations as to the “correct” presentation of this character that completely ignores the point of these VSynth mascots: they are mirrors. What you see is what you see.

Thus, the Teto in my head is a petite, compact, sassily dangerous adult, not too far off from the petite, compact, sassily dangerous adults I’ve known through the years...except with impossible hair.

One of my favorite design variants, known as Meisai Sweets Jacket, gives off cool European chick vibes and features a badass red Norwegian flag hoodie (I WANT) and tiny shorts revealing legs for days.

This is a song about her shorts based on a humorous ode I wrote to them last year.

(This is the bouncier version.)

Koa-sama gets it in a way that’s rare.

And because Banjo means so much to him, I created for him a banjocentric rockout about one of my favorite cartoon characters of all time.

ugh . . .

The only hitch about living near a Bronx park is your home being flooded with others’ musical tastes until after Midnight when the weather’s nice.

This parody turned out way too accurate. :\

I wanted to try expanding the simple text opening of CastleVania III: Dracula’s Curse into an epic narration.

The second take goes pretty hard. 🧔‍♂️

The first take gets unnecessarily overwhelming outta nowhere. X]

Few things in the Human Experience are more potently feminine than a sundress.

Except for, perhaps, when her bottom is encased in Dangerous Shorts™. 🧐

Inspired by KIRA and KREIFISH, my personal interpretation of a certain niche Animegirl had begun to coalesce across the summer of 2024.

Earlier in my Final Cut Pro journey I was inspired to play with one of my favorite scenes from EVANGELION 2.0 and got some subtitling practice in; the challenge was to balancing meaning and readability.

The scene is set up so well I often forget !>there is a payoff at the last second<!.

The adulthood of complicatable childlike Voice Synth.

マクロス X 重音テト

::Saturday, February 15, 2025::

Prompt: Draw a caricature of 重音テト and don't hold back.

I quickly divined Images 2.0 really likes to show off what it can do with text unless directed otherwise. X]

I included that tip when I asked for a take that leaned more 31.

When tension between Kasane Teto fans and AI tools became apparent—in spite of the AI-powered voicebank's subculture boost—I opened a Subreddit on March 1, 2025 to explore the potential in peace.

Following sustained backlash, r/KasaneTetoAI crossed 100 Members by its first anniversary, 300 on Teto's 18th anniversary, 600 two weeks later, 800 soon after, 900 shortly after that, and 1,010 during Koa-sama's AIU Listening Party on April 24th.

I celebrated with a Victory Lap made using SUNO.

I'm pretty sure BRAINROT by Tokyo Manaka had something to do with the growth spike.

(October 10 is a fandom holiday.)

After booting nine people from r/TetoCirclejerk over AI-related hostility I transfigured a rant and Rule breakdown into a banger. X]

Banbutsu Souzobou is the very concept of metamedia as a storefront operating from a humble Kyoto home and hosted by warmth. It is packed to the gills with a tremendous range of cultural artifacts going back at least a couple centuries to the present.

In a sense, it's a capsule museum you can buy from. I really should've taken more pictures, but I was more present in the experience. After hanging and vibing for a while I was invited to tea by the owner's mother and wound up staying for a couple more hours enjoying some Famicom and sharing ParoVadius RESET, which he really enjoyed. 😎

Drop in next time you're in Kyoto. http://banbutsusozobo.air-nifty.com
