“Chinmoku (沈黙 / Silence)”
— For when everything just gets too loud.
Kyuuyou Chuudoku (休養中毒) is a voicebank for the UTAU program.
Profile/Background[]
A pauper addicted to silence.
Kyuuyou ran away from home at a rather young age. Ever since she left her origins, she began roaming the streets to get through each following day of her life on her own. Traveling from shelter to shelter she meets a lot of very different people, who share their stories with her. Mostly they do this through singing, as playing music together next to a fire can seems to be one of the best ways to get others to open up about themselves. The voluntary pauper collects these stories to learn from them, so maybe one day she will recognize what holds the world together at its core. While doing so, she reveals close to nothing about herself. Leaving others unaware and puzzled about her plans and motivations. Probably, because she doesn’t have any.
Besides that, she doesn’t really sing for any particular reason.

"Addiction to Rest"

Character details[]
- Description: A tall, slender and pale woman with long grayish light brown hair, bound to two twintails – her right one being a lot shorter. She has dark green, emerald-like eyes, which turned from clear to muddy over the years. KY makes an over-strained and unhealthy appearance, as depicted by her dark eye bags, tired-looking skin and below average thin stature. Living on the streets, she can also appear to be quite dirty/lacking some hygiene.
- Outfit: Kyuuyou's most iconic piece of clothing is her green knitting hat. She has grown a liking towards it, as it resembles the colour of her eyes. She likes it so much that she is pretty much never seen without it, but still wasn’t willing to sacrifice her hairstyle just to wear it. Therefore she poked two holes on the opposing sides of the beanie, to lead her twintails through it. Besides that, KY prefers to dress rather loosely, as she gets hot very quickly and therefore does not like thick clothing, making her outfit choices often quite revealing. Her usual garments consist of a top covering her breast, leaving her stomach, shoulders and arms exposed, combined with a skirt covering parts of her upper thighs, but pretty much never reaching her knees. For footwear she prefers combat boots, as they are robust and therefore assist her greatly on her expeditions throughout the world. Another part of KY’s main garderobe is her long, dark and over-sized coat, with a collar which leans up to her head. This is neither necessarily her favourite piece of clothing, nor does she dislike it. The deep pockets can come in quite handy most of the time, especially as KY does not carry around a bag with her anymore as she used to, but is the real reason for her wearing the coat quite ridiculous. She noticed that she looks “more dangerous” towards others with it, resulting in less people trying to mess with her. KY values peace and quiet over most things, so she just deals with this silly fact.
>For more details regarding KY’s appearance, please take a look at her reference sheet linked below (Gallery).
- Likes: smoking, drinking (to some extent), reading, sleeping, silence
- Dislikes: luxurious environments, being pampered, most people, crowds, being exhausted, energetic characters – as they exhaust her, arousal – and therefore: caffeine supplements (coffee, energy drinks…), privileged brats, stupidity, adorableness/cuteness – makes her cringe, divas/popstars, mother
- Item: Cigarettes
- Biggest Dream: That no one has to suffer.
Relationships[]
- Kishin Ao Mugen – fellow KATAloid and older brother
- Eli – who was once her / fellow KATAloid
Voicebank details[]
General information/description of KY's voice
Kyuuyou Chuudoku is a female, neutral and clear voice, with boyish tendencies.
Deeper songs blend better with her, but she is also capable of sounding good with higher melodies –
both resulting in different moods
(deep: shadowy/ tough, high: clear, innocent, melancholic).
KY’s voice generally gives a “wannabe tough” vibe, given by the voice’s “weak-esque” nature.
Therefore: great for slower, jazzy, sad, philosophical, lascivious songs.
Not so much for: scream for your life, powerhouse chants (which may be fixed by some kind of “power voicebank” in the future –
but keep in mind – KY as an UTAU is generally a softer one by her nature).
But beyond this description, you are of course free to test her out and experiment with all sorts of melodies. Maybe you’ll find some new discoveries/something that works while tuning her, that I haven’t figured out yet.
If you wanna, you can even make her sing the bee movie script at B9 – but she might hate you afterwards.

Trivia[]
- KY is the kind of person to not squash a cockroach when she finds one, but to catch it and carry it outside.
- Although KY could be considered a “tramp”, she reacts discontented and disapproving to being called such. She finds this term to be discriminatory.
- KY found all of her clothes in the trash. You would be surprised what people throw away.
- KY lost most of her other twintail due to an accident where she got stuck.
- Ever since her release in “Panda Hero”, KY kept the baseball bat…just in case.
- Although KY likes drinking vegetable juice, she has zero desire to sing “PoPiPo”.
- It is said, whoever makes KY sing “Melt”, is getting cursed.
