New design and the name change of Star

New design for photo pages

We introduced new designs to photo pages so that photos will be
displayed more beautifully and users can see lots of photos easily.
If you want to see all photos by a specific user, please visit a new
function "Photo List" tab. If you want to check each album, please
visit "Album List" tab.


Star has been changed to Like!

color "aqua" in the "Album Edit" page.

We hope you like our new design. Thank you!

Merger of titles in VOCALOID series

Thank you for using Cure!

We have decided to merge the three diferent titles, "VOCALOID",
"VOCALOID2", and "VOCALOID3" into "VOCALOID".

Until now VOCALOD characters were registered separately in "VOCALOID",
"VOCALOID2" or "VOCALOID3" but all characters in these titles will be
displayed as "VOCALOID".

From now on, characters such as Hatsune Miku or Kagamine Len, Rin will
appear in search results if you search for just "VOCALOID".

*『VOCALOID』【not changed】*

Oliver

If you wish, you are recommended to add 2 or 3 in the variation section
when you register the character that exists both in VOCALOID2 and VOCALOID3
(e.g. GUMI).


*◆VOCALOID song titles*

As we have informed before, please add the VOCALOID song title information
in the variation section, not in the title itself.

【Example】
*Title：VOCALOID
Character：Hatsune Miku
Variation：World Is Mine

Title：VOCALOID
Character：Kagamine Rin
Variation：Daughter of Evil*

*◆Spin-off or sub characters of VOCALOID*

When you want to register spin-off or sub characters that appear in music
videos of VOCALOID songs, please register them under the title
"otherVOCALOID".

【Example】
*Title：OtherVOCALOID
Character：Jack-o'-Lantern from "Mrs.Pumpkin no Kookkeina Yume"

Title：OtherVOCALOID
Character：Boy from "Just Be Friends"

Title：OtherVOCALOID
Character：Yowane Haku*

We hope this will make Cure more convenient and easier for you.
