Has been very mature for years since looking after both her younger siblings. She is pacifically protective of her younger sister Aimi. Unlike her siblings, Masami isn't sociable and is extremely quiet, to the extent that she will rarely talk at all. She is known to have a strong voice. She might seem intimidating but she has a heart of gold. She is also very focused and organised. She denies the constant sibling rivalry her younger brother, Hiroki tries to impose on her.

Future ACT Releases
Having just been released with her ACT1. Masami is going to be updated to ACT2 sometime in the future. A VCV voicebank may be planned for Masami in the distant future.

An APPEND has been planned for Masami and goes by the name CONFIDENCE.

More information on the confidence Append can be found below.

ACT1 Release
Masami's ACT 1 was released 03/07/2012.

Her oto.ini had been altered and constructed by Mira Tsutsuma's Creator, Stre-chan who also went on to release the first NEWCOMER video for Masami performing a duet with Mira. The link to the cover can be seen in the Song Covers.

Masami is lined up to have another ACT as her voice samples are raw compared to that of other UTAU created and voiced by DarkBox-V2K.

Her signature song, Coward Montblanc can be viewed here.

Download Masami's ACT1 voicebank here.

ACT1-REdone Information
Masami has been planned for an ACT1-REdone as an upgrade from her ACT1, it is also known as her ACT0.1.

Due to close similarities to Pengu Penginoid's voicebank, Masami's voice is to be completely re-done to sound less raw and less like the other UTAU voiced by the same creator.

A link to the finished voicebank will later be distributed. You can find samples of this new voice in the Covers section.

Confidence Append
Masami Akane has been planned a Confidence Append.

Her confirmed design can be seen on the right.

In her design, Masami's hair is tied back and she wears a volleyball attire that was inspired by one of her creator's favorite childhood characters, Natsu a female volleyball player from the Capcom Arcade game Rival Schools.

Her personality somewhat differs from her original, she is more upbeat, approachable and genuinely more confident, hence the title of the append. The Append was also inspired by the fact Masami likes volleyball. Her family name is written on both the front of her jacket and on the back. In her alternate design, her jacket is removed showing the shirt she wears under it. 'AKANE 01' is also printed on its back as well as the 01 on her shoulders.

Her Model number =CERI-01= can be seen on her right forearm.

It is evident that Masami might have injured her left ankle as she wears a bandage which is just visable above her sock.

Her character item for her Append is a volleyball.

Her Confidence Append is currently in the making and is not yet up for download.

<span style="font-size:18.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Voice Configuration
Voicebank ACT1 was released 03/07/12.

<p style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2">Masami's current voicebank only support Japanese. She is encoded for both Hiragana and romanji USTs and it is not yet known how well she performs in Engrish terms. She is still missing a couple of sounds and her samples are raw compared to that of Pengu Penginoid who has been released for two months.

<p style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2">She will have more sounds and hopefully sound more smooth in her ACT2 voicebank.

<p style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2">Using the flags C20E6Y0g+6 will allow Masami to sound 'less' raw.

<p style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal;mso-outline-level:2">She also works with both freesamp. and resamp.
