Abstract(in English) In this paper, we investigated relationship between subjective individuality distance and vibrato-feature distortion. Our research uses the vibrato-synthetic singing that includes the target singer's vibrato whose magnitudes of fluctuation are various. We calculated vibrato-feature distortion using vibrato feature which reflects magnitude of fluctuation of fundamental frequency. First, we performed subjective experiment so that listeners remember target singer's vibrato. This result indicates that listeners feel deformation to increase individuality. Moreover, result of vibrato-feature distortion indicates that impressionists does deformation. Secondly, we performed subjective experiment so that listeners compare the vibrato-synthetic singing and the target singing with vibrato. This results indicates listeners feel the same or largish vibrato increase to individuality, when magnitude of fluctuation of target's vibrato is small. Furthermore, the vibrato rate barely affects increase of individuality, when magnitude of fluctuation of the vibrato-synthetic singing is small, the vibrato rate affects increase of individuality, when magnitude of fluctuation of the vibrato-synthetic singing is large.
