Regarding the syllable “Ryu” - the Japanese do not have “L” and they pronounce “R” which is very close to both “L” and “R”. That’s why it’s written everywhere correctly – Luka.

Tonio- a vocaloid on the V2 engine, singing in English and the second opera vocaloid. Released July 14, 2010, September 7, 2011 (for Taiwan) by Zero-G (England).
(Tonio - Una Furtiva Lagrima)
It is also unknown why Zero-G chose the name “Tonio”. After all, this name is one of several variant names that are derived from the name “Antonius” (the modern version of “Antonio”) which is taken from the old Greek word “Anthos” with the translation “Flower”. This name is also considered an alternative to variations with the name "Tony" (which also comes from the same origin).
There is an official mascot - a guy in a tuxedo named Stanislav Jakuschevskij, who portrays a young opera singer.
But in fact, this is all fiction, since the example for the mascot was a work called "Portrait of a young man wearing a black and white tuxedo". Illustrator: Alija.

But besides this, there are various fan images.
GACHAPOID (Ryuto)
Gachapoid- a vocaloid on the V2 engine, singing in Japanese. Released October 8, 2010 by Internet Co (Japan).
(Gachapoid V2 - PONPONPON)
Voiced by - Kuniko Amemiya
His name is "Gachapoid", based on the character "Gachapin". The suffix "Poid" at the end of the name is short for "like Vocaloid". Thus full name can be read - “Gachapin, like Vocaloid”.
A notable mistake in Western fandom is the labeling of Ryuto as "Gachapoid" or "Ryuto Gachapoid". The explanation for both of these errors is confusion in the designation of the vocaloid itself. The same thing happens with Kamui Gakupo and his Gackpoid software.
There is an official mascot. In general, he almost completely replicates the appearance of the “Gachapin” character. Illustrator – unknown.
NEKOMURA IROHA (Nekomura Iroha)

Nekomura Iroha was created in collaboration with Sanrio and Hello Kitty in Issho! Project.
The word "Iroha" is an old Japanese version of the notes "I, Ro, Ha" or, in the generally accepted manner - "A (A), B (B), C (Do)."
You can read a little about her character in this passage, but it's actually a vague idea of her character - http://vocaloid.wikia.com/wiki/How_Nekomura_Iroha_became_a_Platinum_Kitty
Her last name "Nekomura" means "Cat Village".
There is an official mascot. Illustrator – Okama.
On the body there is a Hello Kitty face - created for the Sanrio company.

Fandoms, Staff, Music, Anime, Manga, Games, etc. .
Users who LIKED this post.
1. Kagamine Rin & Len
The second singer from the Vocaloid series was created together with her brother Len. There is still debate about whether they are twins, that is, relatives or mirror copies. Rin is an optimist in life and never loses heart. He always does something together with his brother. For this, the Company punished them more than once. Kagamine supported Miku's idea and happily ran away. Later, an assassination attempt was made on him and his brother, almost killing him. After this, Rin’s character changes somewhat, as if she is intimidated in life. However, she has a brother whom she can always rely on.
On December 27, 2007, the second Kagamine Rin/Len Character Vocal Series pack was released, featuring twin characters: brother (Len) and sister (Rin). Their “last name” is a combination of the words “Kagami” (Japanese mirror), “ne” (Japanese sound), and their “names” are modified English words left (“left”) and right (“right”). Voice bases Rin and Len - based on voice actor Asami Shimoda. Even though there are 2 voices in the software package, the program is sold at the same price as Hatsune Miku. Officially they are 14 years old. Rin's favorite genres are electro-pop, rock, pop-enka; Len prefers j-pop, dance and rock-enka. In songs and fan art they are sometimes depicted as a couple. There is practically nothing to say about him, because his biography and characteristics are half of Rin’s biography. But, at the same time, Len is more calm and sober in his mind when it comes to supporting his sister, but when she is in danger, his mind seems to become clouded. The boy loves his sister very much and is ready to do anything for her.
-well, this is just beautiful art, the rest in the group...
2. Hatsune Miku
Hatsune Miku is the first voice character from the Vocaloid2 Character Vocal Series. The name was chosen by combining the words "hatsu" (first), "ne" (sound) and "miku" (future). The basis for Hatsune Miku's voice base was the voice of Japanese voice actor Saki Fujita. Unlike other speech synthesizers, the program is configured primarily to create J-pop songs usually played in anime, but it is also possible to create songs of other genres. An eccentric and agitated young tsundere girl. The pride of the Company and the first of the second generation Vocaloids. We can say that it was she who gave birth to the rest of the Vocaloids, because after Hatsune’s tremendous success in sales, the organization did not stop there. But happy life at the peak of her popularity did not last long: the company began to mercilessly exploit the girl, forcing her to sing as if she were wound up. The proud Vocaloid did not like this and she organized a group to escape along with the rest of the Vocaloids. I managed to escape from tyranny, but this, as you understand, did not begin a quiet life...
2. Kaito
Kaito is a Vocaloid DTM program created by Crypton Future Media. Uses the old Vocaloid engine, which predates the Vocaloid2 family. Like Meiko, his voice is entirely computer synthesized, making it sound rougher than other Vocaloids. Voice provided by Naoto Fuga. Kaito can sing anthems, pop and R&B, but his voice is more suited to pop ballads. A crazy and adventurous little bastard with his headphones. Mr. "Curious Long Nose", and also part-time boyfriend of Hatsune Miku. It may seem from the outside and it may seem that Shion is somewhat selfish and only cares about himself, but in moments of danger, when his participation is required, Kaito does everything possible to help his friends. He didn’t actively participate in the war with EVIL, but only until the moment when Hatsune’s voice was taken away and the guy rushed to the Company.
He is Meiko's younger brother, as well as the older brother of the entire Vocaloid group, and is 20 years old. Kaito often feels the brunt of dealing with his "family", usually resulting in the twins being road skating. Wears a white coat and a blue scarf. Part of his image is ice cream, which he loves very much. He is often depicted as Miku's lover in songs and fan art.
4 Meiko
Meiko is a Vocaloid DTM program made by Crypton Future Media. Uses the old Vocaloid engine, which predates the Vocaloid2 family. Her voice is completely computer synthesized, so it sounds rougher than other Vocaloids. The voice is based on Japanese singer Meiko Haigo, whose voice is suitable for different genres. Meiko can sing any songs of various genres from pop, rock, jazz, R&B to children's songs.
Her character is Kaito's older sister and she is the oldest Vocaloid at 21 years old. She dresses in red, uses a microphone with a stand, and has a particular penchant for drinking and gambling. She is considered Kaito's sister, although this is not entirely true. Forgive them, they were made from an older software core, because of this they are inferior to the younger Vocaloids. But this doesn’t bother Meiko much, because she is a strong and proud girl who doesn’t want to give in to anyone. At the same time, she can run away from responsibility; just remember the moment when she did not want to help the Vocaloids in the war with the Company. Sakine can control fire, which suits her "fiery nature" very well. She loves her roller skates and sports.
5. There are also other older Vocaloids. There is no information on them, as well as art (((
Leon: English male voice
* Lola: English female voice
* Miriam: English female voice
6. Megurine Luka
The first vocaloid that can sing not only in Japanese, but also in English! The one who could outshine even Sweet Ann! Here she is, the incomparable Megurine Luka! Her character is somewhat similar to Mika, who is both Luka’s best friend and worst enemy. Vocaloid character adult woman who knows exactly what she wants and what she can achieve in her life. At odds with Kaito, but for some reason no one knows the reason for this except Megu herself. Can completely control the water and even transform into an adorable chibi octopus. I slept with Gakupo, although... few people know about this!
7. Kamui Gakupo
Gakupo is a real macho and the object of affection of almost all female Vocaloids. After its creation, it quickly gained great popularity among Vocaloid fans.
8. Megpoid Gumi
Gumi is the real carrot queen. An enterprising and smart girl who can find a common language with absolutely anyone, unless of course he is going to kill her. Like all Vocaloids, Hatsune joined the initiative and ran away from the company. But she was never able to enjoy a normal life in freedom: first, a fight in a bar, during which she was almost killed by EVILoids, and then kidnapped by one of the EVILs. However, Gumi can look danger straight in the eye and will never back down from her intended goal even in the face of death.
9. Kaihatsu Miki
The newest Vocaloid of the second generation. Miki is an unusually charming person with red hair. Moderately shy, hysterical in the world. In short, she emanates an unbreakable kawaii, because of which the girl became a victim of harassment from Miku Hatsune. Well, here is the main character of Miki, she is moe, which means she is an always squeaky, always blushing person, not ready to stand up for herself, serving as a toy in the hands of those who have gained power over her (in this case, Hatsune). However, Kaihatsu simply melts when her most beloved is played in front of her nose. light sweetness - a cherry.

8. Test Post (at least five lines)
How long is it possible? It’s so hot... when will it rain?... this sweet, welcome rain..- Luka thought while walking through a deserted park at night. As usual, he walked at night in the park, next to the house.
It was terribly hot outside, it was impossible to breathe. The fans did not help, the air conditioners were breaking down. She could not sleep and sit at home on such a beautiful night. The moon shone with a huge halo over starry sky and She quickened her pace with a mysterious smile. Suddenly, someone rustled a candy wrapper from behind and followed her.
Luka quickened her pace even more so that she would not like to look for adventures on her butt.
But someone followed her example. He walked right behind her. Another kilometer until she came close to her house.
She stood near the entrance for a couple of minutes, waiting for sounds, but there were none.
Exhaling, she began to open the door.
But suddenly someone closed her eyes.
She had no words, no thoughts, no movements. She froze like a statue near the entrance, afraid to move, but then someone’s kiss on the cheek took her by surprise. Then there was laughter. Painfully familiar.
Laughter in a high octave. She recognized him immediately. There was so much relief in her heart that she wanted to kiss and kill Mika at the same time.
-Well, have you had your fill? Forgive me. You know me. I like to appear out of nowhere.
- Miku said with a cheerful smile. But she recoiled a little when she saw Luka’s eyes, which were truly scared.
-You know? - Luka began, but Miku covered her mouth with her finger.
“I know perfectly well what you want to say. We’ve known each other for too long for me not to know this. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I really couldn’t think that you’d be scared.”“Miku said this somehow more sluggishly, but tenderly - and now,” she added, “let’s go home, I’ll give you this green tea, which is why I left the house..
Luka didn’t say anything else. She knew Mika and could have assumed that it was her, but she was naive, believing that Miku was sleeping in such heat. They went upstairs to the apartment, and Luka simply hugged Mika out of love, who loved to “appear” so much from nowhere"..

(リリィ Ririi) is the official character of the Vocaloid2 singing simulator program developed by Yamaha. Its core data bank was developed by Yamaha in collaboration with
Almost every person who is interested in anime culture has at least once seen this girl with blue hair, who has become almost a symbol of the whole modern culture Japan. Her name is Hatsune Miku. And she is just one of a huge number of Vocaloids. Let's find out together in a little more detail who they are and listen to the most popular of them according to the Japanese.
The word "vocaloid" is formed from the combination of the words "vocal" and "android". Despite the fact that most often this word is used to understand characters (for example, the same Hatsune Miku), this is not entirely true. First of all, Vocaloid is a program. And to be even more precise - a voice bank. The character is just mascot one or another voice bank. So, for example, there are Vocaloids who do not have any mascot or official “incarnation” at all. However, the tradition of calling a mascot a vocaloid has long taken root, and therefore in this article we will also use this term for ease of understanding
These are not all mascots...
Total for this moment There are 63 official Vocaloids. And their number will only continue to grow! Paired vocaloids, like the Kagamine twins, are considered one, since they were released in one voice pack. Most Vocaloids have a specific official design and a short biography, which serve as a starting point for the producer (the name of the person who creates music using the Vocaloid program) for further modifications. There are four generations of Vocaloids. Each generation has become more technologically advanced than the previous one, which is quite logical: after all, the very first Vocaloid was released back in 2004, and technology, meanwhile, does not stand still.
Vocaloids have a huge fan base. Fans not only create personalities and stories for each character based on their voice, design, and brief descriptions from the creators, but also create their own Vocaloids using the official characters as a basis. Thus, for example, the three most famous “clones” of Hatsune Miku were born - Akita Neru, Yovane Haku and Kasane Teto, each of which enjoys a hefty dose of love among fans.
Kasane Teto, Akita Neru and Yowane Haku. Cute “clones” who have become independent “singers”.
Using the Vocaloid program is quite simple and at the same time quite difficult. When you open the program, you won’t see a bright, colorful interface, and a mascot won’t start running across your screen, singing songs and telling you what to do. Externally, the interface, although it has a unique design for each Vocaloid, resembles standard program for recording music. In principle, this is true.
Interface of the very first Vocaloid program
Do you have a specific set?instruments and the voice bank itself. In the most general form, the principle of working with the Vocaloid program can be described as follows: download music, enter the lyrics of the song, start endlessly customizing it all, dragging, cutting, pasting, changing, redoing. By trial and error, adjusting the key, length, and character of the voice at one point or another in the song, you will get... what you get. Making a Vocaloid's voice sound natural and not too synthesized is quite a challenge. Especially if you use old voice banks.
Mascots
Well, it's time to talk a little more about mascots. And we'll start with the alpha and omega of everything Vocaloid.
Hatsune Miku (初音ミク)
It's surprising, but in Japan many people believe that there is only one Vocaloid - Hatsune Miku. And the strangest thing is that there are such people even among seemingly FANS of Vocaloids. The turquoise-haired girl with two ponytails, a short skirt and a cute face was liked by Japanese otaku so much that in Japan you can find ANYTHING with images of Miku or elements of her design. From cars and trains to sex products. Released in August 2007, it won the hearts of people around the world. At the moment, she has no equal in popularity among other Vocaloids. Hatsune Miku has inspired many "classic" Vocaloid songs, as well as the origin of countless memes. What is noteworthy is that initially her voice was far from perfect - it was often criticized for being “squeaky”, but successful design and competent marketing did their job.
Mika is also surrounded by a certain set of misconceptions. We have already learned that Miku, to put it mildly, is far from the only Vocaloid. However, the biggest misconception is perhaps the idea that Hatsune Miku is the first Vocaloid. This is not true at all. The two very first Vocaloids were English-language. And their names were Leon (LE♂N) and Lola (L♀LA). They were released for sale in January 2004, marking the beginning of the first generation of Vocaloids. But then perhaps Hatsune Miku was the first Japanese Vocaloid? No, this is not true either. The first two Japanese Vocaloids were MEIKO (メイコ) and KAITO (カイト). They also became the final programs of the first generation. Well, this is where Miku probably comes into the picture? And again by. The first Vocaloid of the second generation is again an English-language program called Sweet ANN. And only after her, Hatsune Miku was born, becoming the first Japanese Vocaloid of the second generation, as indicated by the 01 marking on her shoulder. And only from there Vocaloids truly gained popularity. Miku has several additional voice banks that help expand her vocal capabilities. Initially, Miku only had a Japanese language pack, although during development it was planned that she would also be able to sing in English. In 2011, she finally received her coveted English language pack, like many other Japanese Vocaloids. It received its last update in 2016.
One of Hatsune Miku's most famous songs
But let's take a step back and look a little at those who came before Miku. We have arranged all the Vocaloids mentioned below in the order in which they were released for sale.
VOCALOID
LE♂N and L♀LA
The first two Vocaloids, released in January 2004. Male voice Leona and Lola's female voice were extremely far from perfect: the synthesized voices hit the ears hard, but there were craftsmen who managed to make them perform songs quite well.
Get Lucky performed by Leon
Fireflies performed by Lola
Both were withdrawn from sale on December 31, 2013 due to obsolescence. Lola and Leon do not have their own mascot, although in Japanese fandom Leon is often portrayed as a young blond guy. It is also noteworthy that they not only became the very first Vocaloids, but also the first Vocaloids whose voice actors remained unknown. The developers made do with only hints, saying that the basic voices of Leon and Lola are two black performers from Britain. That is why it was assumed that they would sing in the soul genre.
Miriam
Miriam and her genderbend version
Six months later, Zero-G, the company responsible for creating the first Vocaloids, released a new product with a female English voice bank under the name Miriam. It was slightly more improved in technical terms: Miriam’s phonetic capabilities were wider than those of her predecessors. She also became the first Vocaloid whose voice actor was known - British singer Miriam Stokely. The performer herself expressed interest in creating an updated voice bank for Miriam based on fourth-generation Vocaloid technologies, but the developers abandoned this idea. Miriam herself was discontinued along with Leon and Lola. Thus ended the story of the first three English-speaking Vocaloids.
Let it go performed by Miriam
MEIKO (メイコ) and KAITO (カイト)
On November 9, 2004, the world saw the first Japanese Vocaloid - Meiko, which was developed by Yamaha and directly sold by Crypton Future Media. They are separated from Kaito for two years - he was released only in February 2006. They also became the first Vocaloids to get their own mascot.
Meiko appeared before the audience as a young woman in red clothes, and her partner as a young man in the opposite blue color scheme. However, color and gender were not the only things that separated them. Meiko's sales were going well, but something went wrong with Kaito. Kaito was the only first generation Vocaloid to be declared a failure. Meiko sold more than 3,000 copies, while Kaito sold only 500. This failure led to the fact that for a long time the Vocaloid developers were developing only female voices.
Miku came to the aid of Kaito, like all other previously created Vocaloids, or rather her commercial success, which attracted a large number of new fans to the fandom. It was then that Kaito was truly appreciated. At the moment, he is considered one of the most popular and frequently used characters, while Meiko had and still has to seriously fight for her popularity. However, she, along with Kaito, received her own voice upgrades and an English language package. Popularity ranking: ninth And eighth place accordingly.
Total: the first generation of Vocaloids is the smallest, with only five characters. In June 2007, the second generation of Vocaloids was released, with an updated mechanism for using the voice, which made it possible to create a softer and smoother sound in songs.
VOCALOID2
Sweet Ann
The fourth English-language Vocaloid, the first Vocaloid released by PowerFX and the first Vocaloid created based on VOCALOID2. Her voice was provided by a certain Australian singer who wished to remain anonymous, indicating only the pseudonym “Jody”. Another breakthrough was the first official biography, which the developers indicated on the box. So, for example, it said that Sweet Ann is from Sweden, her height is 162 centimeters, her weight is 46 kilograms, and her age is 23 years. After this, most mascots began to receive at least the minimum short description personal data. It is also noteworthy that Sweet Ann became the first English-speaking Vocaloid to gain great popularity in Japan.
Sweet Ann and her story about her first visit to Japan!
We've already talked about Hatsune Miku, who was released next, above, so let's move on.
Kagamine Rin/Len (鏡音リン・レン)
Second Japanese Vocaloid. Kagamine Rin and Len are essentially one language pack released in December 2007, split into a "male" and "female" voice. Despite this, fans perceive them as two separate Vocaloids, which, in principle, was the goal of the developers. Their original idea was to create the voice bank of a teenage girl and her male mirror image. This is how they were initially sold - as mirror images of each other, which was later indicated by the hieroglyph 鏡 kagami “mirror” in the surname. Also, their names were invented based on the words “left” and “right” - Left and Right.
Beautiful and Touching story performed by the twins
However, later Crypton still declared them to be twins, sharing one soul between them. Which, however, does not prevent some video creators from depicting their relationship as something more than just brother and sister... The first image was created of Kagamine Rin, to which the image of Len was later adapted. Kagamine Rin is third Vocaloid in popularity, while her brother Len is ranked seventh place. However, both of them are perhaps one of the most frequently used characters in music videos.
Camui Gackpo (神威がくぽ)
The fifth Japanese Vocaloid, also known as Gackpoid (がくっぽいど). He is a beautiful samurai with long hair and is the brainchild of Miura Kentaro (author of the manga Berserk), who created his design, and the famous Japanese singer, actor, musician Gackt, who gave this vocaloid his voice. Actually, mainly thanks to Gakt, Gakpo was THE most expensive Vocaloid for a long time. However, despite Gackt's fame and popularity, Gakpo was rather slow to gain popularity in the Japanese fandom, as fans were much more interested in female Vocaloids. But a little later he still fired, receiving his share of fans’ attention.
Published in July 2008. He became the very first Vocaloid, to create a voice bank of which a very famous person was involved. Occupies tenth place in the popularity ranking of Vocaloids.
Megurine Luka (巡音ルカ)
The sixth Japanese Vocaloid. This pink-haired girl is notable for being the first Vocaloid to be given an official "aloof and mysterious" character, and for being the first bilingual Vocaloid, able to sing in both Japanese and English (albeit with strong accent). The mascot's clothing design was deliberately made asymmetrical to reflect her bilingualism. Her voice was given to her by the Japanese voice actor and singer Asakawa Yu. And the most interesting fact is that during the development of the entire Kryptonian line of three Vocaloids (Miku, Rin/Len and Luka), it was Luka who was planned to be given the name “Hatsune Miku”.
She also became the first Vocaloid to knock Hatsune Miku off her pedestal of fame. At the moment she is second by popularity Vocaloid.
GUMI (グミ)
The seventh Japanese Vocaloid, released in June 2009. Also known as Megpoid (メグッポイド). Her voice was given by Nakajima Megumi, a famous Japanese seiyuu, the design of one of whose voiced characters was adopted by Gumi herself. If Kamui Gakpo reflected the “past” with its samurai theme, then the futuristic image of Gumi was supposed to be the embodiment of the “future”.
Memetic video of Bad Apple performed by Gumi
Currently the Vocaloid with the most big amount voice banks - she has 17 of them. This is even more than Miku. And in general, Gumi is quite popular and occupies fifth place in the fan rankings.
VOCALOID3
Yuzuki Yukari (結月ゆかり)
Released in December 2011, Yuzuki was the first third-generation Vocaloid created by AH-Software. She also became the first Vocaloid whose voice bank became available for use in the Voiceroid speech synthesizer (it’s like Vocaloid, but not about singing, but about simple speech). Users liked its gentle design that is pleasing to the eye and its voice that is no less pleasing to the ear.
Her main theme was the idea of “unification,” which is reflected in her name. Her surname contains the character 結 musubu, which means “to bind.” Yukari became one of the most popular Vocaloids of the third generation, winning not only the general public, but the producers themselves. So, Yukari takes sixth place in the Vocaloids popularity ranking.
IA (イア)
This third-generation Vocaloid, released in 2012, was able to rise to fourth place in the Vocaloid popularity ranking, surpassing even the “oldies” from the classic line. Probably, this was largely due to the voice of the Japanese singer Lia, known for her song Tori no Uta, which was heard in the opening theme of the anime Air. The same song became the first performed by this new Vocaloid.
The same Tori no Uta
It is noteworthy that the performer herself knew nothing at all about Vocaloids when she was offered cooperation, and only had a rough idea of who Hatsune Miku was. The dreamy and gentle, somewhat cosmic image was liked by Japanese fans, who willingly showered Iya with their attention and love. Considered one of the most realistic sounding Japanese Vocaloids, if not the most realistic.

In addition to Japanese and English vocaloids in last years Vocaloids with Spanish, Chinese and Korean language banks were also released. With two last groups Vocaloids are associated with many scandals based on racial hostility, as they were subjected to very strong unfounded criticism among Japanese fans. For example, the Korean vocaloid SeeU received the largest portion of hatred from the Japanese fanbase. Despite her good voice and technical data, which allows her to create excellent compositions, her voice bank is practically not used in Japan. It’s good that Western fans were able to appreciate it.
Korean-language vocaloid SeeU
Probably, some may have a question: is there one among these 63 Vocaloids that can sing in Russian? Unfortunately, a Vocaloid with a Russian-language package has not appeared yet, but some craftsmen can make a Vocaloid sing quite well in Russian.

What can we say in conclusion? Vocaloid is, without a doubt, a phenomenon in history popular culture. Their number is growing every year. Moreover, Vocaloids have long gone beyond virtual world, collecting very real concert halls, speaking to the public in the form of a hologram. Hatsune Miku even managed to appear on Lady Gaga's tour, performing at 16 venues in several countries. Vocaloid has become a media titan, capable of launching other multimedia projects. For example, it was only thanks to Vocaloids that the Black★Rock Shooter anime was born. Remember, if there is any song in the world, then you can say with almost 100% probability that it already has a cover performed by a Vocaloid.
The world belongs to her!
22 0Here is specific information about some Vocaloids known from YAMAHA.
Hatsune Miku
Hatsune Miku is the first voice character from the Vocaloid2 Character Vocal Series, released on August 31, 2007. The basis for the “voice” of Hatsune Miku was the voice of the Japanese voice actor Saki Fujita). Unlike other speech synthesizers, the program is configured primarily to create J-pop songs usually played in anime, but it is also possible to create songs of other genres.
The popular Japanese video website Nico Nico Douga played a major role in popularizing the program. Shortly after the release of the software, Nico Nico Douga users began posting video clips of the songs they created. According to Crypton, a popular video of a comical version of Miku (fan mascot of Hatyune Miku) singing Eva's Polka (Ievan Polkka) and waving a leek (which later became an integral attribute of her and began to appear in many videos and images) to the beat of the song showed the possibilities of using software for creating entertaining multimedia content. As Vocaloids grew in popularity, Nico Nico Douga became a place for creative collaboration between users. Popular songs are illustrated and animated in 2D and 3D format by some users and remixed by others.
On October 18, 2007, the Internet BBS website reported that Hatsune Miku was a victim of censorship by the search engines Google and Yahoo! due to the fact that Miku's images did not appear in the first lines of their photo search. Google and Yahoo! disputed this accusation, citing an information defect - when searching for the request “Hatsune Miku”, it (the request) was split into its constituent words “Hatsune” and “Miku”. Both companies expressed their commitment to fix the problem as soon as possible. On October 19, images of Miku appeared on Yahoo!
On November 26, 2007, the Japanese manga magazine Comic Rush, published by Jive, began publishing a manga starring Hatsune Miku, Maker Hikoshiki Hatsune Mix. The manga artist was Kei, the original author of the character of Hatsune Miku. The second manga, Hachune Miku no Nichijo Roipara!, drawn by Ontama, began serialization by Kadokawa Shoten in the manga magazine Comp Ace on December 26, 2007.
Hatsune Miku's character was used in the anime (Zoku) Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, where she attempts to be the voice of Meru Otonashi. For the first time in computer games, Hatsune Miku appeared in the game 13-sai no Hello Work DS for the Nintendo DS, where she appears as one of the heroes. On May 22, 2008, in the Japanese version of the online multiplayer game PangYa, her image was also used as one of the heroes. Hatsune Miku will be the main character in Sega's PlayStation Portable video game Hatsune Miku: Project Diva, which was released in 2009. With the increase in popularity, Hatsune Miku has become a sought-after character for cosplay and action figures. In the Lucky Star OVA, Miku appears as a cosplay character in Kagami's dream.
The color scheme and image of Hatsune Miku were used on the BMW Z4 from Studie (a BMW tuning shop) that competed in the GT300 Super GT class for the 2008 season. The car was named "Hatsune Miku Studie Glad BMW Z4". On August 23, 2009, Hatsune Miku performed live at Animelo Summer Live and Anime Festival Asia (AFA) 2009 in Singapore.
Kagamine Rin Len
Released on December 27, 2007, Kagamine Rin/Len is the second in the Vocaloid2 Character Vocal Series. Their surname was chosen by combining Kagami (mirror), Ne (sound), with the first syllables of their names being a "parody" of "left" and "right". In fact, they are not brother and sister, but a reflection of a mirror. According to the official Vocaloid blog, the pack includes two voices: one for Rin and the other for Len, as provided by voice actor Asami Shimoda. Despite the two votes, the pack is still selling for the same price as Hatsune Miku. They also make a cameo appearance in the anime in Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, where the two and Miku try to be the voice of Meru Otonashi
On June 12, 2008, Krypton announced a remastered edition called "act2", which was released in early July 2008. Users who purchased old version received a disk extension for free. On June 18, 2008, the first songs using the new version appeared on the company's official blog. Disk expansion is a completely different piece of software and does not affect the original Vocaloid installation, giving the user the option of using either the old one or new voice or combine their use.
Megurine Luka 
Released on January 30, 2009, Megurine Luka became the third Vocaloid from the Vocaloid2 series released by CRYPTON. Her "last name" is made up of "Meguri" (Circulation) and "Ne" (Sound), and her name is a combination of the homonyms "nagare" (flow) and " ka" (song) or "kaori" (aroma). Yu Asakawa gave Luka a calm and husky voice that made her sound mysterious and mystical.
Peculiarities
Unlike previous Vocaloids, CRYPTON distributed Luka (with its 3 GB vocal database) as a bilingual program capable of understanding both Japanese and English languages. By choosing this name for it, they expressed the hope that it would be of interest to users outside of Japan. Luka was illustrated by mangaka KEI, like the other Vocaloids, but unlike them, Luka's costume is not based on school uniform. Her weapon of choice is frozen tuna.
Rise in popularity
Literally a few days after its release, many compositions were written. In the 70th weekly Vocaloid ranking (February 2, 2009), many of Luka's songs made it into the top 30, pushing the very popular "Miku Miku ni Shite Ageru" and songs written by Ryo (the only exception was "Melt") out of the top 30. And "RIP=RELEASE" took first place and has been viewed 1,126,436 times so far.
Kamui Gakupo 
Kamui Gakupo is the official Gakupoid character symbol of the new version of the Vocaloid2 program implemented by Internet Co., Ltd. Gakpoid includes the new OPUS Express program for mixing vocals with accompaniment and voice data.
Story
When creating a new version of Vocaloid, Yamaha wanted to use the voice of musician and actor Kamui Gackt, but had difficulty collaborating. They consulted with Dwango (the new owner and publisher of Vocaloid Internet Co. Ltd.), who had previously collaborated with Gackt (he had already provided his voice for the Dwango cellular service). Gackt gave his voice and stage name to the new Vocaloid - Kamui Gakupo Referred to as Gakupoid or Gackpoid, the latest release includes the new OPUS Express program for mixing vocals with accompaniment and audio data. The new software will be available for download for users with registered copies of previous Vocaloids. In addition to the new Gackpoid program. includes 2 Gackt songs and 2 demo songs.
Creating an image
Kamui Gakupo as one of the voice characters of Vocaloid had to be illustrated, so the program could not be released in June 2008. The popular mangaka Kentarō Miura, the author of the epic fantasy manga Berserk, was involved in the creation of the artistic image. Given his favor towards Nico Nico Douga, Kentaro Miura agreed to do the work for free. As a fan of the manga Berserk, Gackt was happy with this action and upon request received sketches by fax, although at that time he was filming the film “Guy Moshe's Bunraku”. The character is characterized by an eggplant color (purple), a fan and a katana as attributes of his clothing style. The voice is suitable for performing J-pop and rock. Gackpoid was released on July 31, 2008.
Meiko Sakine 
Character
In many fantasy clips (Daughter of Evil, Alice's sacrifices, and others) she is described as an "iron" woman with a strong character with a sword and sometimes in armor. Kaito appears as a girl in many videos and drawings. She practically never gets depressed, has little aggressiveness, and constantly has fun (singing, dancing, drinking, gambling, spending time with Kaito, etc.). Her image and color are red, which symbolizes passion, brightness, and a little aggression.
Voice
Meiko has a very wide range of voices and vocal capabilities, much more than the Vocaloids of the second series. Many fans consider her voice to be the most favorable among the series of second and first programs. Still, the voice is synthesized by a computer and has a mechanical tone. The voice itself is passionate, bright, and sometimes rude. It’s as if she’s throwing out all the music out of herself in the song. For example, if you compare the songs Love is war by Meiko and Miku, then in the same cry at the beginning, Meiko will have many different flowing shades, while Miku’s sound will differ little in different seconds.
Meiko in the anime
Japanese electropop artist Suzumi Hirasawa used Meiko in the musical anime Paprika by Satoshi Kon. It can be heard on most tracks on the film's original soundtrack. By the way, main character Looks like Meiko.
Kaito 
Kaito is the new voice of Vocaloid created by Crypton Future Media. It uses the old Vocaloid engine. Kaito's voice was provided by singer Naoto Fuuga (風雅なおと - Fuuga Naoto). The name of the product was proposed to the public and "KAITO" was chosen from among the candidates, which was Shu-tP's idea. Kaito can sing everything from hymns and children's songs to R&B and pop, but his best style is pop ballads.
Kaito initially sold only 500 CDs, and Crypton decided the project was a failure. However, after the release of Hatsune Miku, users of the program appreciated Kaito in a new way and now prefer his strong and gentle voice.
Fan art
According to the image on the box, Kaito often wears a coat and scarf in fan art.
Just like Meiko, Crypton did not establish his identity and character in advance, other than the image on the cover. This was extended to other Vocaloids to encourage creativity from independent people and expand the characters based on the needs of the users. While Kaito's personality and characteristics may vary and fans still disagree, he is often seen as the "big brother" to the entire Vocaloid group or as the love interest of the other Vocaloids. Kaito and Meiko are often referred to as "Nenchou-gumi" ("Elders") in comparison to the Vocaloid2 characters.
Love for ice cream
On September 16, 2008, Tatsunami uploaded a parody of the song from Higurashi no naku koro ni - "A Request From Hatsune" - to NicoNicoDouga. During this time, Miku was especially popular on NicoNicoDouga, while no one knew about Kaito or created songs using him. The video began with the words "please sometimes recall KAITO" and Miku saying "where are you and what are you doing now?" (“Where are you and what are you doing now?”) from the song Dear You.
About four hours later, "An Answer To Hatsune Miku" was uploaded by Ice-P. In this video, Kaito replied "yes? I was eating an ice cream" and then sang a cover of song The Ice Cream Song (originally sung by Saeko Shuu in 1960). Kaito's last words in this video are "Miku, let"s eat it together next time." It just so happens that Ice-P was creating a cover when he saw the video uploaded by Tatsunami .
Since then, everyone knows that Kaito's favorite item is ice cream.
SF-A2 miki 
SF-A2 miki (SF-A2 Miki) is a new Japanese Vocaloid voice released on December 4, 2009. Developed by AH Software. Two songs "Touyou no Noumiso" and "±" were presented for demonstration. A set of her Christmas songs was presented in December of the same year.
Voice new singer donated by Miki Furukawa (former bassist of the band Supercar and current singer) and illustrated by Yuusuke Kozaki.
Fans took note of Miki's strange markings on his arms, design, and hairstyle, saying that Miki probably isn't from Earth.
Gumi Megpoid 
Gumi is the official heroine of Megpoid(メグッポイド), a new version of the Vocaloid2 series program, which was implemented by Internet Co. Ltd. in June 2009. The release includes 3 VSQ demo files "Happy Birthday", "be MYSELF" and "Hitori Yurari", which are cover versions of songs by other Vocaloids.
The voice of the new singer and part of the name were given to the voice actor Megumi Nakajima, who also voiced Ranka Lee in the anime series Macross Frontier. Taking Ranka Lee's design as a basis, mangaka Masami Yuki drew the image of the new Megpoid.
Characteristics
Bright green hair, red glasses and “extraterrestrial” headphones, love for carrots.
Use in music
At the time of its release, Gumi had the most realistic sound among all Vocaloids, since it was based on the modified Vocaloid2 engine. Her vocal range is F2-A4 and her optimal tempo is 60-175 BPM, among all the female Vocaloids she has the largest vocal range and is considered to be easily customizable. However, it is difficult to get her to sing in English. As is often the case with native Japanese speakers, Gumi does not have the "z" and "Z" phonemes in the phonetic system; they were easily replaced by "dz" and "dZ", just like Gakupo.
Yuki Kaai 
Yuki Kaai - a new version Vocaloid program, released December 4, 2009. The developer is AH Software.
She is meant to portray an elementary school student and her voice was based on real elementary school students. Yuki's release included three demo songs - "±", "Vocaloid Grade School Student" and "Try again".
The author of her image is Yusuke Kozaki
