So everyone, VO likely has been talking about this forever and everyone probably knows but me since I only found out today, but YOHIOloid's design was leaked alongside a voice demo. Here it is:

Opinions? Good, bad, anything?
My opinion (Don't open unless you're okay with slight ranting and opinions):
Ah, I ranted and raved. Everyone else?

My opinion (Don't open unless you're okay with slight ranting and opinions):
Mine so far...I think I really like him from what we've seen, which is only one song so I can't judge 100% yet (Like how Kaito V3 had some fantastic demos but the final product wasn't as great IN MY OPINION don't kill me). He's the first V3 I've looked forward too since...well, I liked every other language one (SeeU, Luo Tianyi, Bruno, Clara, and Oliver), but I haven't really cared for a single Japanese one in all of V3, new AND remakes.
Everyone knows the spiel of how most of the females sound the same, so I won't say that, but I've been disappointed with V3 males for a few reasons I guess? First off is that they've all been remakes, so I guess YOHIO has a benefit in that we don't already have expectations, which I had for VY2, Gakupo, and Kaito. And all three of them (VY2 to a miniscule amount) don't sound like themselves. I really had a beef with Kaito and Gakupo, who before sounded like MEN, were now reduced to...teenager/young adult? I prefer their old versions immensely.
But yeah, so YOHIO is new so I don't have that disappointment to feel (and probably I would have really liked Gakupo and Kaito V3 if their V2s hadn't existed). And I'm liking it so far. Only thing that's odd to me are his Ts, but whatever, accent pickyness.
With his English...it's hard to tell? This song wasn't a good demo for that. Unless they get a demo out for that I can't make a solid judgement, and if there was way more english in this song than I thought there was, then it feels pretty Luka-level. ;;
And if people are really into the compare voices thing...I've seen people compare him to Piko and Lily? I can't see Piko too much aside from possibly vocal inflection, but I do see the Lilyness, though how much of that may be mixing/V3 engine overall is unclear. Whatever, he's a guy, we don't have enough, and he found a niche that doesn't have a voice yet.
(Hopefully ZOLA follows YOHIO in interestingness, seeing as how they're a trio of guys and illustrated by freaking Yoshitaka Amano, the guy who does Final Fantasy... Though I insanely hope at least one of them is V2 Gakupo deep because I'm sick of high V3 males...)
...And now that I think about it, it isn't even just the males, ALL V3 banks have that high, airy, lack of fullness...is it the engine or something? I do miss the full nasalness of V1 and V2 even if the voices weren't as technically HQ.
i should stop bemoaning the end of a generation that happened two years ago orz
