The Castle of Sand -Sweet Ann-

[FragmentAngelus]

omg, this person can actually use her voice. I'm crying tears of joy, I thought I would never see the day. <3

[MrBlizzetta]

You face isnt very sweet to my eyes

[InuKagndWolfsRaingrl]

It's.... GLaDOS!!!!!!! XD

[emicat97]

@lillykitty96 yeah me too!!!!

[Theich33]

@Jpcake Got this info on Vocaloid Wiki "Sweet ANN is a Vocaloid released by PowerFX. She was the first vocaloid created using Yamaha’s Vocaloid2 upgraded software. Her name is a pun based on her origins, meaning that Sweet-Ann = Swe-den and she was sold under as a 'space lounge robo-vocalist sensation'.

She is voiced by "an Australian singer whose artist name is "'Jody'". .__.

[Jpcake]

@Theich33 Thanks for the obvious...

[dooliedoode11]

@Jpcake She was made in Sweden.

[MrTungtarung]

GLaDOS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IShouldLikeTo]

Sounds more like GLaDOS than Vocaloid.

[AMVGFan]

Love it! ^-^

[Clarus92]

Whaaaat is she from sweden? O.o

[PinkSprinkleElefant]

She's from sweden! OwO

[iiinicka]

omg she is so NOT swedish XD

it sound so weird

but she is ok

[mynameishannahpoo]

AH'M SWEET ANN AN' I COME FROM SWAYDEN

[aryllia]

@mynameishannahpoo Oh dear I really really HOPE that my English is better than hers XD

Makes you wonder what kind of dialect she would have in Swedish... 'Swayden' makes me think of... Göteborg? Somewhere on the border to Norway, or possibly on a god-forgotten farm somewhere southwards.

[RealWizardClown]

20-28 dango dango dango dango, yay Clannad :D

[lillykitty96]

@RealWizardClown XD i was sitting there thinking"wait a minute....CLANNAD!!!"

[MpBloodElf]

How come Sweet Ann sometimes has tanned skin and other times have lighter skin? (I personally prefer her with tanned skin cuz it makes her different from all the vocaloids o_o She = only darkened skinned one?

[NekuThat1DeadKid]

WHERE IS SWEET ANN? WHERE IS MY ZOMBIE VOCALOID? No seriously, what the hell? Taht person barely looks like Sweet Ann

[Twilightgirl2812]

I like her new look but I like her old cone too =D

[Litameena4chan]

The song however is something to be amazed with! This is an absolute wonder to listen to! I'm addicted to this song! <3

[Litameena4chan]

I really don't see what you all are so excited about. =/ This is one of the mediocre anime versions of Sweet Ann. Look at the Get Love Back video or the SEVENTH MOON video. Those are much better anime versions of Sweet Ann. I have no idea why every vocaloid or voca-spinoff has to have those detached sleeves. =/ it's way overdone.

[MihariofMabinogi]

*looks at original art (0:09) and then looks at Anime-style sweet ann* ...HORRAY FOR REVAMPS! \(.w.)/

[KirbyMasterChief]

miku is hiding by sweet ann ^.^

[TheRulerOfAllPokemon]

beggining sounds like dango daikazoku :D

[Purufufuru]

Her voice is based of an Australian singer, and they say she's from Sweden because PowerFX is Swedish. Big Al is based of a Swedish singer, though...

[Cloudsknight123]

the music before the songs start is Nagisa ~ Farewell At the Foot..lols

[19AnniAngel92]

the first pic scares me xD

[Meeriea]

Actually her voice sounds better than what i've heard on youtube. Just like Miku, some don't know how to use her voice and it comes out crappy when it can sound pretty good...

[Meeriea]

Poor Sweet Ann. She could have been given a better voice and cover. This voice should be that "Haku" character.

[TVMaple]

0:09 OMG shes ugly in real life...

[YusukeUrameshi15]

I agree lol

[jerickdilla]

Lol. I guess it's only fictional depiction not real but.. yeah I agree with you.

[0Nikeenarutolover0]

@TVMaple no. Shes ugly in her Box art. Thats the only thing Sweet Ann fans hate about her.

[AngelEmfrbl]

@0Nikeenarutolover0 And yet theres a good chance she'll have new art, check out around the wikia or Vocaloid Otaku forum... Searching a little she'll find refs to it happening in the future.

[eggshapedcarrot]

@TVMaple Real life? SHE'S REAL?

tsk tsk...

[CookieLoveAngel13]

@eggshapedcarrot nope! its just painted!! but the person with her voice exists!!!

[eggshapedcarrot]

@CookieLoveAngel13 I know. Did you not see that I was responding to TVMaple 's comment about her being ugly in real life? Note the 'tsk tsk' on my comment. She is not real.

[AtashiKat]

Sounds like she has 2% of len's voice O.O

[LordessDrakezul]

I spy Miku!

[0CottenCandie0]

Oh god...When I saw something that said "Sweet Ann...Sweden..Say Sweet Ann fast and you get Sweden" it made me feel kinda bad for her that she had that name. I was just like "Aw...Poor thing.." But, that picture of her..with..fire or something all around her was scary, Dx Why is it that NO ONE knows what she looks like!?

[muffinwifblueberries]

I know. And she has an okay voice. It's kinda... mean...

She needs better art. I think I'll draw her some, because she deserves it. Heck, after her mildly disturbing box art, I think she deserves just as many pictures as Miku.

[0CottenCandie0]

Of course, I think her voice is pretty, depending on the song. But she certainly needs better art, including one that doesn't make her head look like it's about to come off. -.-''

[mitsue24]

She doess... Sweet Ann is so judgedd. XD

[jerickdilla]

^ I think that "Fast Sweet Ann" is just an unproven rumor tho.

[0CottenCandie0]

D: I'm pretty sure it's a pun.

[SimbaKimbaKovu]

We think that the vowels sounded for Sweet Ann are sounded by a Swedish woman

[awdrifter3]

Too bad no one uses Sweet Ann to make more new song. Her voice is pretty good.

[MarinePearlVoice]

hi! im sweet ann! wtf?!

i like her voice but she can freak me out sometimes!

[Tamara2Day101]

that was scary.....

[suysanny]

why does she look swedish ?O.O with flags and stuff..*3*

[Decembirth]

@suyasanny

Sweet Ann is a pun for Sweden.

Which is her origin.. and explains her thick accent. lol

I grew to be a fan of Ann

[suysanny]

fancy x3

[s1korea]

lol the beginning pic O_o and the vocaloid look NOTHING like each other!!!!! seriusly...Sweet Ann looks more... 1970 old person. this is a 2009 chick. and this doesn't sound japanese :/ it may sound like a nasal japanese person though,

[3EternalSnow3]

That's 'cause Sweet Ann isn't Japanese... ^w^;;

[s1korea]

OH> is she real cause um... yeah..i think she's real... i have a feeling...

[Serganny]

nah, Sweet Ann's a vocaloid.. just... an English Vocaloid. 8D

[kagomeXokami]

shes not japp

[kagomeXokami]

plus thats not even how she looks the blue girl...

[gerelds4]

She's Swedish -_-

She even says it at the beginning XD

[xtoryxisxcoolx]

it also sounds like she said,"I'm Sweet Ann."

[CHiCKiNx33]

sweet ann looks sexy. o.o;;

at least the vocaloid form. n_n

[roninotakuknight]

ya i like this rendering of her reminds me of kiddy grade

[OjamajoDoremi09]

miku and sweet ann combined. o3o

[xxRitsukaxAoyagixx]

what is she saying in the beginning?

[xxRitsukaxAoyagixx]

all i can understand is "i am sweet ann and i come from sweden" and "dondake"

[tsubasaclow]

i love this song!! isn't the beginning song Dango Daikazoku in Clannad? it sounds like it...

[ShimaGenki]

The beginning sounds like Dango Daikazoku, I agree... lol xDD;;

But actually, Dango Daikazoku is the ending theme to Clannad, not the opening.

[tsubasaclow]

yeah i know that...

[ShimaGenki]

Ah~ you meant the beginning of this song, didn't you? It sounded like you were saying Dango Daikazoku was the opening of Clannad. ^_^;; lol, sorry.

[wereboyscout]

Yes.. It is =O

[azmariah94]

Sweet Ann was so cute when she was talked... :3

[Bossofsardine]

American distributers did or do sometimes very crazy things.

[AkaneXD]

I like her outfit here! I like Mariam, she's my fav English one.

[ilysabeth]

i do too! what were they thinking with sweet ann's picture on the box? it's scary o_o but big al's picture is way scarier *goes and hides*

[AkaneXD]

Who knows 0.0 and so are Big al's promo songs such a feel good. Sounded like a Wooky...

[MechPunk]

Song sounds awesome.

For the Japanese fan art for her, I would imagine Ann wearing a simple classy dress, rather than yet another rip-off of Miku's wear.

[HiroCascade]

But they want to make her appeal maybe as a cute and sweet person? At least they didn't give absurdly long green hair. xD

She sounds more mature than Miku too.

[GTO16]

どんだけ！うｗｗｗ

[awdrifter3]

The anime style Sweet Ann is much better. I don't know what they were thinking with the original image.

[Kaosusoshi]

@awdrifter3 I get what you mean- but they were going for a blue's type look for the original sweet ann.

[mewstrawberrie]

@awdrifter3 i agree! i mea..a moneky can draw better than tat...anime sweet ann i uc bette.

[ikkedoch]

@mewstrawberrie lol no when it comes to technique the ugly Ann is a lot better than the anime version.

[Keksiankka]

@awdrifter3 The VOCALOID is Swedish. Naturally the picture wasn't to everyone's liking. :P xD *don't take too seriously*

[awdrifter3]

@Keksiankka I made that comment 3 years ago. lol. I still stand by that though, they could've used an better image for Sweet Ann. That girl doesn't even looks like a Swedish girl.

[mugenmaster]

es horrible! parece el speack it ese! maaadre mia XP

[unico]

lol Ann is Swedish

she has a clear voice

[EGLchan]

She is?? 0.o Lol, wiki says she's english

[unico]

English doesnt mean "American" or "British" it just means English lol

[EGLchan]

aha kk ^^

Don't misunderstand, but how do you know she's a swede?

[unico]

PowerFX , based in Stockholm, Sweden has been producing music samples, loops and sound effects since 1995

Google : About PowerFX

[EmmileneRosalina]

Easier?

Her name is a play on words. Say "Sweet Ann" really fast and you get "Sweden". Plus she's blonde. It's kind of a joke.

[EGLchan]

Thanks!

[Rizahawk]

..She sounds so much better singing Japanese than English... >>

[singinkittyXD]

yyea and the avatar isnt creepy to

[Rizahawk]

XP Yep. The japanese drawing of her is actually very cute. xD

[SENGOKUMUSHOU]

北欧萌え。

[MeltyBloodShiki]

It almost sounds totally natural, very nice.

[btiensvold]

: 3

she pretty, also nice singing too!

[HatsuneMikuVocaloid2]

♪♫So musical!♫♪

[fushigiusagi]

発音をもっとくっきりさせれば神です！！

If you make the pronunciations better it would be perfect!

Good job!
