Internationally popular cosplayer and singer LeChat has been chosen to act as a goodwill ambassador for Alys, a virtual singer developed in France who has been called the French version of Hatsune Miku.
The offer came from VoxWave, the company behind Alys, after LeChat stole their hearts. Joffrey Collignon of VoxWave had the following to say:
“Japan is a very popular country here in France. Even I wanted to visit the country when I was small. I studied abroad at Tokyo University and came into contact with Japanese culture and knew I absolutely wanted to work in Japan. We also came across LeChat. We thought the level of perfect in her cosplay was wonderful, and knew we could entrust Alys with her. She’s also active as a singer so having her collaborate with Alys was the absolute best.” (Translated from Japanese)
LeChat also commented on being appointed Ambassadrice Officielle D’Alys:
“I love France – even my [stage] name is French. I already knew I wanted to go to France, so it’s really an honour to be appointed to a position like this. I will work hard to become a bridge between France. I look forward to making an Alys outfit.” (Translated from Japanese)
LeChat loves beautiful things and the horror genre beyond all else and even works as an official cosplayer for the Cardfight!! Vanguard franchise of anime and games. She will also showcase her cosplay for the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress by DMM GAMES at this year’s Tokyo Game Show which is taking place at Makuhari Messe on September 22 and 23.
