Our main cast of characters has been revealed! 🎊 But... two illustrators per character... means we've only shown 14 drawings...? 🤔 Weren't there supposed to be 18 illustrators? Are there still performers hiding in the shadows? 👀 #vocaloid #midwestmirai

A mysterious image teasing two more vocal synth characters to the performer line-up...

Text on the green silhouette reads "One conjures under the moon..."

Text on the purple silhouette reads "The other is guided by the stars..."
