Our main cast of characters has been revealed! 🎊

But... two illustrators per character... means we've only shown 14 drawings...? 🤔

Weren't there supposed to be 18 illustrators? Are there still performers hiding in the shadows? 👀

#vocaloid #midwestmirai
A mysterious image teasing two more vocal synth characters to the performer line-up... Text on the green silhouette reads "One conjures under the moon..." Text on the purple silhouette reads "The other is guided by the stars..."
