Who is kagamine rin and len

Shimoda has said that she sang within her chest for Len's voice and sang at the top of her head for Rin's voice. Following Crypton's concept and direction, Rin's design was the first to be illustrated, followed shortly thereafter by Len. The software was released on December 27, and sold around 20, copies. Due to numerous complaints about how difficult it was for producers to compose music using the twins, an independently package "ACT2" was released.

Their given names of Rin and Len were said to be based on " ri ght" and " le ft" according to Asami Shimoda. She later confirmed in an interview after the Append release that the names were based on Ken and Rin from Hokuto no Ken , derived from a discussion about names that were familiar from her childhood. This refers to an " echo ", which is a sound being bounced back to the user from a different direction caused by soundwaves hitting a surface at a direction that reflects it back the way it came.

KEI was given a concept by Crypton that included Rin and Len's approximate ages as well as the idea of them being 'mirror images' and, like Hatsune Miku, androids.

KEI was not given any further direction as he had already drawn the art for Miku, the first release in the Character Vocal Series. Rin was the first of the Kagamines to be illustrated and, following Crypton's concept, Len was made to match her.

Their leg features were designed to mimic speakers. Also, each Kagamine has a particular musical clef symbol associated to their design. In their Append redesigns, they are found on chokers rather than their shirts. Unlike Hatsune Miku, they were not an immediate hit, failing to meet marketing expectations despite receiving the same level of promotion Miku received at the time of their release. After the release of their "Act2" voicebanks, sales picked up steadily and the Kagamines eventually became one of the more heavily marketed VOCALOIDs though have never met the marketing strength Miku gained before them.

Rin's top was changed in the introductory image between versions around the armpit area. Frills were added to the bottom of her top in Act2. In Rin's original artwork, her left knee was thicker and her right leg was too short. KEI corrected this in her Act2 version. Her right leg and left foot positions changed. The cyber-on-normal clothing design on her detached sleeves was changed from a green bar to a blue one. The cyber-on-normal clothing design on the detached sleeves were changed from a green bar to a blue one.

Kagamine Rin's leg position was changed in the boxart so it was lifted off the ground. The only way the previous position would have worked was if her leg were deformed or broken. Rin's body itself compared to the length of her legs is shorter than in the original boxart, where the legs were longer.

For their appends, Wat wanted them to have a sense of transparency with their design. Continuing the tradition of the Item War Internet Meme, many items were proposed for the pair. In the end, Len's item was a banana because his hair was commented to resemble a bunch of them, while Rin's item was an orange since her bow gave the impression of orange leaves.

Before her release, Rin had the road roller assigned to her by accident in a video that suddenly received many views on December 1, Len had yet to be revealed at the time of the road roller meme.

Though the romanized version of the words could be either, the English version was confirmed as "Rin and Len".

Since there is no dubbed version to contend with, the names remain the only official names in existence for the vocals.

This is also backed up by the origins of their names as "R" Rin " and "L" Len. Edit source History Talk 0. Vocal traits as noted: She handles faster paced songs better than Len. Harmonizes with Kagamine Len better than most other vocals.

Rin's pronunciations are sharp compared to Kagamine Len's. Phonetic notes as noted: Her vowel sounds are choppy and overall lack smoothness but can connect with workarounds.

A number of vowel related sounds are absent. She hardly pronounces her consonants. Software issues as noted: Her "[t a]" sound can produce a loud "spike" in volume if the BRI parameter is turned down. There are some tonal issues, for example the "[j o]" vowel in her recording is very muted, but the default "[a]" is basically a shout at some ranges.

According to Asami Shimoda, some say Rin's voice echoes within their head and makes them feel dizzy. Vocal traits as noted: His voice has a slight "lisp" sound which separates his vocals overall from Rin's. His vocal range capabilities are also slightly larger than Rin.

Compared to the Rin vocal, Len is often weaker on higher notes Len is often considered more difficult to work with than his counterpart, Rin. Phonetic notes as noted: His vowel sounds are choppy and overall lacked smoothness with a number of vowel related sounds being absent.

Thus he only has actual natural transitions between the vowels "u" and "i". Software issues as noted: A particular noted weakness of Len's voicebank is that he is limited in his authenticity to produce masculine vocal tones, owed to his voice provider being female.
