Good day, folks!
So, with the sample of the English ED being shared just last week in the last update...
This week, we would like to share with you all a sample of the English ver. of the image song for VBHI, "Want more need less"!
Yep, just like with VBFI, we have made an English version of the insert song, which is a vocal track that is exclusive to the Official Soundtrack!
This song will, of course, be featured on the official soundtrack for anyone who ordered one, be it the digital or physical version!
The song was sung once again by the talented KOIKE JOANNA!
A talented singer born in Fukushima who loves fluffy animals and tragic, sad stories.
She did an amazing job on the original JP version of the image song, which will also be made available on the VBHI original soundtrack that is still available for pre-order on the pre-order store/backerkit store!
Speaking of fluffy animals, I feel she'd get along with someone introduced below.
---------
We would also like to introduce you to Ms. iyuna, who sang the Original Japanese version of the VBHI ED!
Koike Joanna is a trilingual singer who is fluent in English, Japanese and Tagalog (Phillipines).
Although singing is her main vocation, she is also an artist who does songwriting, translation, movie editing and production.
Thanks to SOLFA's cooperation, we have managed to secure her cooperation for the VBHI vocal tracks as well! She did an amazing job on the VBFI ones as well as the OP for VBHI, most definitely!
Koike Joanna does a ton of work for anime and games, so definitely make sure to check out her Youtube channel!
----------------------------------------------
We would also like to introduce you to the talented singer of the Japanese Opening for VBHI, Ms. Nao!
They have many composers and vocalists that breathe life into many different aspects of various works!
In the VenusBlood series, they've made a variety of music to fit the battles and stages, orchestral pieces and melancholy tunes...The music they produce is, in fact, a big part of the overall appeal of our games. We believe that the music fits perfectly with the situations portrayed in VenusBlood's stories and really enhances the player experience!
You can listen to some of these lovely tracks on their youtube channel, so be sure to check them out!

*Japanese Translation Below (日本語訳は下の方にあります)
Good day, folks!
And so, today, we will be revealing the long awaited WINNING SCENE for the 5 characters in the Tentacles of the Round vote!
Anora
"A child with Leon...? In the past, I would not have ever dreamed of such a happy ending...No, that didn't come out right. Our story is not yet at an end. Yes, the story of our happiness will continue...Forevermore."
Winning Scene (20% of votes for her scenes)
A02 The Black Maiden Becomes a Mother
Winning Scene Content (SFW): Having confessed to Leon that she wants to bear his child, he obliges and, happily, Anora finds out she is pregnant within a few days. The story of their happy life together continues on, forevermore...
For the NSFW version of the scene contents, do check out the list!
The above scene will be created by Ninetail based on the scene summary, so do look forward to it!
Now then, Anora in particular, of all the 5 characters, had the most votes concentrated on her! It was a voting battlefield, to be sure.
That said, we would like to share with you guys the runner-up scene, as well as 3rd, 4th and 5th places!
Runner-Ups (16% of the vote each)
A06 I'll Make You Remember Who's Your Number 1
A12 The Holy Outfit from Another Realm, The School Swimsuit
A15 Anora and her Beloved Descendants
5th Place Scenes (6% of the votes each)
A08 An Eternal Connection, The End of an Ambition
A13 Love & Desire
Just look at the amount of votes that have the same amount of vote %! So many ties...
But in the end, there can only be one winning scene!
Ah, the Black Maiden, our lovely Anora will be getting such a lovely scene. Just reading the content of the scene warms your heart, doesn't it?
Tsubaki
"Hahah! It looks like the results for mine are in! What a great day! ...Wait, but...The content of this scene...Huh, maybe I spoke too soon..."
Winning Scene (22% of votes for her scenes)
T11 Plaything Tsubaki and Soapland Play
Winning Scene Content (SFW): Having been abandoned by Leon, Tsubaki was carted off by some perverted old man who conditions her into a plaything to use as he pleases. She obediently follows his orders, such as wearing china dress cosplay while sporting a twintail hairstyle.
For the NSFW version of the scene contents, do check out the list!
The above scene will be created by Ninetail based on the scene summary, so do look forward to it!
Now then, Tsubaki. Surprisingly, not many votes came in for her, so when one big point dump came in, that basically took the winning scene all the way to the top!
We would like to share with you guys the runner-up scene, as well as 3rd, 4th and 5th places!
Runner-Up Scene (13% of the vote)
T04 An Ancient Oni Ritual
3rd Place Scenes (7% of the vote each)
T06 Memories of Old, a Human Tsubaki
T07 Princess Tsubaki
T14 Tsubaki vs 100 Tentacles
T17 In Search of Power
Man, that % difference.
Poor, poor Tsubaki. Unlike Anora, she isn't exactly getting treated very...well in her new scene, now, is she. I'm sure many of our more hardcore VB fans will love it, though!
Kaya
"I heard there was something important he wanted to tell me...I wonder what it is?"
Winning Scene (33% of the vote for her scenes)
K01 False Love
Winning Scene Content (SFW): Disguising himself as Shinra, Leon seduces Kaya. She is taken in but right as they were getting romantic and things were escalating, Leon reveals his cruel trick to Kaya! At the end, when she laments that she can no longer become a wife, Leon tells her to become his woman.
For the NSFW version of the scene contents, do check out the list!
The above scene will be created by Ninetail based on the scene summary, so do look forward to it!
Now then, Kaya. Man, I suppose you would expect as much for a girl who didn't get a scene in the original game, but she also had a rather fierce voting battle. But one scene emerged victorious!
We would like to share with you guys the runner-up scene, as well as 3rd, 4th and 5th places!
Runner-Up Scene (25% of the vote for her scenes)
K07 Confessing my true feelings
3rd Place Scene (10% of the vote for her scenes)
K09 The Slave Storyteller
4th Place Scene (8% of the vote for her scenes)
K02 For My Beloved
5th Place Scene (5% of the vote for her scenes)
K11 The Fate of the Slow
Ah...So close, she was so close to having a scene that one might say is the complete opposite in terms of atmosphere compared to what she is getting.
A loving scene with her childhood friend, Shinra...But alas, in the end, by a small margin, a scene with Leon won out instead. The voters hath spoken!
Fans who wanted a Shinra x Kaya scene will unfortunately have to stay disappointed.
But hey, she finally has a scene to herself after not getting one in Vanilla VBH, so that's cause for celebration, surely.
Nazuna
"As a Shinobi, it is my duty to see my mission through to the end...But, I...!"
Winning Scene (26% of the vote for her scenes)
N01 The Gap Between a Shinobi's Love and Her Duty
Winning Scene Content (SFW): Nazuna sneaks into Leon's room one night, attempting to bring an end to his life. However, as she was about to strike, she wavers, her heart being torn between her newfound love and adoration for the man and her duty as a Shinobi. Leon eventually got bored of pretending to sleep and asked if she was about to do anything, before proceeding to spend the night together with her, eventually 'convincing' her to serve him instead.
For the NSFW version of the scene contents, do check out the list!
The above scene will be created by Ninetail based on the scene summary, so do look forward to it!
Ah, Nazuna, the lovely Shinobi. Remember what we said in Update #14?
"Nazuna is giving you a meaningful look from the image above...!"?
Well, here we are. She won herself a scene, and the content of said scene has been decided!
Now then, we would like to share with you guys the runner-up scene, as well as 3rd, 4th and 5th places!
Runner-Up Scene (16% of the vote for her scenes)
N05 A Bunny Caught Behind Enemy Lines, Nazuna
3rd Place Scene (14% of the vote for her scenes)
N10 A Fallen Shinobi's Reward
4th Place Scene (12% of the vote for her scenes)
N12 Breaking the Fallen Ninja
5th Place Scene (8% of the vote for her scenes)
N09 The Summoned Beast Mate
Nazuna also had a bit of a tough voting fight! What a spectacular voting battle.
How exciting, a Shinobi who is torn between her sworn duty and her emotions. Try as she might, she simply cannot suppress her feelings, as a proper Shinobi should...!
Dorothy
"D-don't misunderstand me, okay? Even a slime can...Get pregnant."
Winning Scene (45% of the vote for her scenes)
D14 Maid Dorothy Wants a Child!
Winning Scene Content (SFW): One day, Dorothy's conditioning came undone. However, having spent a lot of time with Leon, she can't bring herself to see him as an enemy...Rather, she now sees him in a more romantic light. Wrestling with her own emotions, she visits him one night, dressed like a Maid...
For the NSFW version of the scene contents, do check out the list!
The above scene will be created by Ninetail based on the scene summary, so do look forward to it!
Dorothy, one-half of the Pirate Slime Sisters. Truly, she had many interesting scene ideas, but one still rose to take away first place!
Now then, we would like to share with you guys the runner-up scene, as well as 3rd, 4th and 5th places!
Runner-Up Scene (12% of the vote for her scenes)
D12 A Crying & Clingy Water Sprite
3rd Place Scenes (9% of the vote for her scenes each)
D01 Please Don't Throw Us Away!
D15 Staining You in My Colour
5th Place Scene (3% of the vote for her scenes)
D02 Black Whims
Interestingly, Dorothy probably saw the least amount of fighting in terms of votes. Like, one scene got a point dump, and it carried that lead all the way to the end.
Such is the power of a Knight Commander, one might say.
A maid slime? Cool stuff! Seeing a maid dress on a slime sounds amazing...Kinda like Colonia from VBB, no?
*Reminder:
The content of the5 winning scenes are subject to changes by Ninetail in the interest of helping it better fit into the existing story.We thank you for your understanding.
Loser's Bracket Guest Unit Winners
Ah yes, the Loser's Bracket Guest Unit Winners.
Considering that votes from the first Guest vote carried over, some already started off with an advantage.
Without further ado, here are the results!
Now then, in 1st place (8.6% of the vote):
FROM VBF, LOKI
VBF's protagonist Loki comes in 4 forms (VBF's Dark Lord Loki & Hvedrung(Sword) + VBR's Shota Loki & Conqueror Loki).
&
FROM VBB, ELEMIA
Elemia, the siscon yandere from VBB comes as herself!
That's right! There was a tie for first place.
3rd Place (8% of the vote):
FROMVBG, VANILLA
And in third place, we have VBG's Vanilla! She comes in 2 forms (Day & Night forms)
She carried over her points from the first vote, so it's no real surprise that she's in!
4th Place (6.5% of the vote):
FROMVBG, THEOFRAD
VBG's Protagonist Theofrad comes with 2 forms! (Normal & Awakened)
Following Hain & Loki, Theo also managed to get in as the 3rd male MC representative of another VB game! Not to mention they're basically all on the smart side of the brain vs brawn scale...I feel like they'd all get along quite well. Maybe. Probably.
5th Place (6% of the vote):
FROM VBB, YOUKI
VBB's Bwaka Representative, Youki! She comes as herself.
&
FROM VBR, FANA
VBR's New Generation's Warrior Goddess of Thunder comes in 3 forms! (Pure, Corrupted, Broken)
7th Place (4% of the vote):
FROM VBL, REVIA
The Icy Dark Dragon Princess comes in 1 form!
&
FROM VBR, NANNA
The new Chief God, Nanna, comes in 3 forms! (Pure, Corrupted, Broken)
&
FROM VBG, TITIE
Titie will come in 1 form!
Yes, that's right...THERE WAS A 3-WAY TIE FOR 7th PLACE!
So you know what that means...
What? Saying goodbye to 2 of them?
No, of course not! What a waste. In fact, all 3 will make it in as the 7th place Guests!
And that about does it for the Results of the Vote.
We would like to thank every member of the Round Table for joining in the vote, and we hope you all had fun on this rather wild ride!
Do look forward to seeing all of this implemented into the final game!

Good day, folks!
First thing is first, the Tentacles of the Round Scene Vote coting period has ended, and we will be calculating the votes received.
As stated before in the voting schedule, the results will be announced on December 18th, so do look forward to it!
Now then, onto the next part of this update.
Some perhaps...Unexpected news.
Yes, there will be a new item, new goods for sale on the Add-on Section of Backerkit and the Pre-Order Store!
Presenting...The QUATTRO PILLOW!
In Honour of Sheila and Lo...Er, Chibi Yilan winning a spot in the VBHI Guest Vote, this pillow will come in 2 varieties!
Sheila Version:
Chibi Yilan Version:
Ah, but wait, what exactly is a QUATTRO PILLOW, you ask?
It's made out of Smoothtron...Better known, perhaps, as 'Interlocked Fabric'? 100% Polyester.
It has a Width of 250 mm and a Height of 800mm, so 250mmx800mm.
So...Imagine a Dakimakura but like, half the size.
Oh but the best(?) part? It's not a cover, so you don't have to buy a pillow to fill it separately! Because it comes as a full pillow already.
What do we mean by that? Well basically, it comes to you already filled with cotton stuffing.
*Note: It will be flattened when it is sent to you. Remove it from the plastic wrap and it should inflate itself over the course of 2 to 3 days.
One of these Quattro Pillows will set you back 7260 Yen (Approx. $68), and the shipping cost is the same as what is listed on the Kickstarter (1210 yen for those in Japan, 2420 yen for those overseas).
If you are an existing backer and have already ordered physical goods and paid the shipping fee already, you will not be charged extra.
Now then, if you wish to purchase these Quattro Pillows, Either purchase them via your Backerkit's add-on function or via the pre-order store!
*Theseitems are only for sale for a very limited time! Please order them by January 25th 2021 before they are removed from the store!
Youki Dakimakura Cover(LIMITED QUANTITIES)
Wut? VBB's Youki? What does she have to do with VBHI? Unlike Sheila and Chibi Yilan, she hasn't won a guest spot...Has she?
Well, the results for the vote are next week, but here is a sneak peek answer for you!
Yes, Youki has indeed won herself a spot as a guest unit in VBHI in the loser's bracket poll!
Now then, unlike the above mentioned Sheila & Chibi Yilan Quattros, Youki comes in the form of a DAKIMAKURA COVER.
However, we only have very, very limited stock. Remember, the early bird gets the worm!
*As a result of the limited amounts, we have unlocked everyone's orders, so everyone has a chance to add it to their cart as an add-on, or purchase it via the pre-order store!
