Editor's note

Kagamine Rin, the Vocaloid voice that sings hundreds of songs

A virtual singer whose voice has powered everything from pop anthems to experimental tracks since 2007.

For a sense of her reach, listen to "World Is Mine" and then something like "Rin No Uta." They're made by different people using the same tool.

Rin's voicebank, provided by Asami Shimoda, became a tool for creators rather than a traditional performer. Songs like "World Is Mine" show how producers could shape her youthful tone into everything from dance-pop to darker electronic work. Her discography is essentially a collective project by hundreds of independent musicians using the same synthesized vocals.

Released in 2007 by Crypton Future Media, Rin started as a Vocaloid voicebank for producers to program. Over time, tracks like "Antichlorobenzene" and "Abstract Nonsense" showed the range of genres her voice could handle. She remains a virtual character appearing in games and media, not a person with a conventional career path.

Archive material and source history

Kagamine Rin is a Vocaloid voicebank released in 2007 by Crypton Future Media, with the voice provided by Japanese voice actress Asami Shimoda. She's a virtual singer, not a person, so her "career" consists of songs created by various producers using her synthesized vocals. Some of the tracks that have become associated with her include "World Is Mine," "Tokyo Teddy Bear," and "Antichlorobenzene."

Her voice is often described as youthful and expressive, which has made it a popular tool for creators across different genres, from pop to rock to electronic music. The Vocaloid software allows producers to program melodies and lyrics, with Rin's voicebank handling the singing. This means her discography is essentially a collective work by hundreds of independent musicians rather than a traditional artist's output.

In 2018, there was some discussion among fans about whether her voice had been digitally altered in newer releases, but Crypton Future Media stated that no significant changes had been made to the core voicebank. As a virtual character, she doesn't have band members or live performances in the conventional sense, but she appears in various media like games and promotional material alongside her counterpart Kagamine Len.
