thank you batikky for the incredible model, it is by far the best and most on-model tone rion model i've seen... you did her so much justice!! i'm still floored every time i look at her... i think this is the closest thing we'll ever have to a release of her official model (T_T)
thank you bb1200 for the amazing cover (sm27805668) and なつき for the motion and camera! (sm25722006)
i seriously cannot for the life of me find the stage i used here q_q apologies... i'll try to find it soon!

now a love letter...
rion means a lot to me. i discovered her around 10 years ago and she's been my favorite vocaloid since... i can't believe it's been 14 years since her release! i remember listening to thousand regrets and pokkan color on loop in the school computer lab, and getting in trouble cuz i was playing it so loud that it could be heard thru my headphones (இ௰இ)

tone rion v3 design has by far one of if not my fav designs in vocaloid and vocal synths as a whole. (watanabe akio is one of my fav illustrators so i may be a bit biased...) i used to dislike v4 cuz it completely discarded her v3 design but it's definitely grown on me! i love nemu's design especially and i think rion v4 compliments it well.

i'm really happy to see she has been getting some more traction again especially with younger fans it seems! i think pokkan color gaining popularity awhile ago brought attention to her... i hope she continues to gain fans for many years to come!!! she deserves it (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

my ultimate wish is to see her get an updated voicebank some day with an updated design more akin to her v3... this is absolutely a pipe dream but seeing some other old vocaloids being revived gives me hope...!!! please make it happen somehow... (praying)

i'm very excited to see what the future has in store for her, whether that be fanart and media discoveries or official releases. she deserves the world forever!
happy birthday, rion-chan!
