I noticed it only appeared in my review when I burnt it and not on the item page, but that definitely seemed like a new voice! Are there more from her? :o

I hope I’m not encouraging stalking here… { "url": "https://cdn.wanikani.com/audios/39919-subject-3447.mp3?1553791291", "metadata": { "gender": "female", "source_id": 27633, "pronunciation": "ちかぢか", "voice_actor_id": 1, "voice_…

I don’t think the female audio is “new” but nevertheless… :thinking: [image] WaniKani New Audio Update: Part 1 Announcements Hello again, my durtles! durtjovahs_witness For a while now we’ve been working hard to record, edit, and prepare brand new audio for all of the vo…

I noticed that as well. Bummer that I can’t access it due to the audio only showing up in reviews but I do remember that the audio doesn’t really sound like Mami, the person who did the female voices before.

I don’t remember hearing this voice before. If I were on my desktop at the time, I’d have checked the source file just for curiosity’s sake. Of course, I could be wrong! However, I did love the recording.

For some reason when I saw this thread title I thought 近々was an anime character

I remember seeing it reported in that thread that the new male voice recording was きんきん instead of ちかぢか , so I thought maybe they replaced it with a new version while they sort out this one, however when I went to the item page to listen to the audio, it properly said ちかぢか so now I’m confused …

Hmm :thinking: so it is a new audio file. I suspect that the “Kenichi” file is still there, and probably newly updated. I’m curious why the Kyoko file is played during reviews for this item while the Kenichi one is played for the rest… :thinking:

This soon page still has male voice. :thinking:

The update came right after 近々 was introduced to me, so in reviews before the update the audio was female voice, after the update it was the new male one and days after it was back to female.

I really hope they add a female voice soon. I hate this new male voice.

When I was in Japan I noticed I couldn’t understand men as well as I could understand women. I think this is partially because almost every learning resource has a female voice. I find this is the case for most languages. The male voice isn’t as clear but I think it makes for good practice. Ideally…

Who's the cute sounding new voice for 近々?
