**Kizuna’s incarnation #KZN returns to the stage Are you willing to support this singing AI? **
On February 26 this year, as the final concert came to an end, VTuber ancestor Kizuna Ai announced his dormancy (indefinite suspension of activities). However, in addition to Kizuna’s announcement of hibernation, the official announced a new AI, that is #KZN.
#KZN is a singing-specific AI based on the voice of Kizuna Ai, developed based on CeVIO technology. It’s not so much Kizuna Ai, it’s better to say that her existence is actually closer to VOCALOID.
In June of this year, Kizuna officially announced that #KZN will start a limited-time pre-sale on August 8, but this news did not seem to attract the attention of fans, and everyone still lacks interest in this AI.
But yesterday, a statement officially released by Kizuna Ai brought this AI to everyone’s eyes. The statement stated that the official will restart the Kannai SNS account headed by YouTube on August 8. Domestically, Kizuna’s Bilibili and Weibo accounts will also resume operations. This restarted account will be primarily used to post content related to #KZN. In addition to promoting the #KZN second-generation works produced by creators, fan participation activities such as competitions may be held in the future.
According to the official statement, #KZN was developed to continue Kizuna’s desire to connect with the world. Even though the original Kizuna Ai has fallen into dormancy, through KZN’s follow-up activities, the image of Kizuna Ai can continue to be active in front of everyone.
Many fans are looking forward to the release of #KZN. But at the same time, there are many disturbed voices. Looking back at the time when Kang Ai hadn’t hibernated, there was a time when the character set collapsed due to the problems of the people in it. #KZN, who has now lost the person in the middle, has become a real AI. Whether her existence will further damage Kizuna’s image in the future has also become a point of concern for fans.
In addition, some netizens questioned: Isn’t this practice really cutting leeks?
