Hello everyone,

I’m writing to inform you all that I’ve decided that asking for permission for commercial use is no longer necessary for any of my voicebanks. I keep getting emails about this and honestly, it just gets a bit tiring to reply with “yes” every single time! Because truth be told, I don’t care at all about commercial use and haven’t for a long time now. (Don’t misunderstand; I’m not mad at people for asking! Because it’s understandable. I’m merely clarifying my current stance.)

I’m aware that my UTAU voicebanks still have “permission required” in their readmes and whatnot, same with the UTAU wikis. But truth be told I’ve mostly retired from UTAU development (I’ve shifted focus to DiffSinger) so I can’t be bothered to update any of that anymore. My DiffSinger voicebanks have explicitly stated that permission isn’t necessary from the very beginning.

So in short, I’d kindly ask to not send me any emails regarding this anymore because I don’t care and the answer is always “yes”.

That is all for now! I actually plan to eventually update all my character pages on here with more recent information, but I’ll do that once I have more time. More info about this in the next post.
