The robot HRP-4C, developed by a Japanese research facility, is a humanoid robot that uses VOCALOID voicebanks Hatsune Miku and Megpoid for singing.
Additionally, she uses a third, prototype voicebank for speaking called CV-4Cβ (not to be confused with Crypton's presumed canceled voicebank CV04β) developed by Crypton Future Media, with the voice provided by Japanese voice actor Nakamura Eriko. Though this voicebank may have been originally intended for the Character Vocal series judging by its name, Crypton stated there were no plans to further develop or commercialize it, and HRP-4C contains the only known use of it.

Kirie sees spirals elsewhere, too, even in the way people dress and comport their bodies. When the curiosities turn to tragedies, Shuichi wants to escape to Tokyo, but Kirie is determined to stay and figure out what is going on."

Love you to PIECES!
"Body horror in the sense of cannibalism: forced to participate in cannibalism, unconsensual medical procedures, body parts literally being removed for food. You also see hunks of body parts in the movie, stored in a freezer."
