Susumu Abe (進む安部) has had two voicebanks for the UTAU program, only one is current and distributed.
History[]
On August 13, 2017, Susumu was released as a monopitch CV bank. He was recorded on a Snowball Ice microphone. This voicebank has since ceased public distribution and updating.
Susumu's ACT 2 was released on September 16, 2018, having been updated as a tripitch CVVC. He was recorded on a Samsung G-Track Pro microphone.
In the future, it's hoped that Susumu will receive a full English voicebank.
Concept[]
Susumu was born to highly conservative Christian parents in the suburbs of California. Susumu had many restrictions growing up, and he fought to bypass them all the time. He found solace in programs on VH1 and MTV, and music that his friends introduced him to. When Susumu was 16, he discovered his own repressed homosexuality when he began having a crush on his childhood friend. Hoping his parents would not judge lest they be judged, he told his parents over dinner as heartfelt as he could. His parents reacted violently, his father dragging him out of the house and telling him he was no longer welcome in their house. Heartbroken, Susumu left with the clothes on his back and went into the city. He attempted to live with friends but would often get kicked out of theirs as well due to his smoking habit. He learned all he could on the streets, and became excellent at backdoor surgery, sewing, cooking, and swindling. He made the investment of a guitar and taught himself until he could confidently play on the streets for more money. He takes what he can to live, as well as taking odd jobs. When Susumu was 19, he came upon an ad for a diabetic person requesting an in-home nurse. Being low on cash and kind of desperate, he responded to the ad by showing up at the poster's house. The man was revealed to be Keith (who belongs to @soopjoy on Instagram), a complex, moody, and yet adorable young man. Susumu fell for him as soon as he saw him, and vowed to care for Keith til his final breath (Keith called this extreme and a waste of time). Susumu is glad to have his break and have a roof over his head, as well as a doting boyfriend he can connect with and relate to. Susumu does all he can for the both of them, and he hopes to one day become the next big rockstar.
