On 23 April 2015, it was announced that v flower would receive an update for the VOCALOID4 engine.

According to Miwasiba, Flower is female. The reason for the boy-ish design is because 'perfect flowers' have both pistil and stamen and this design is supposedly to be the 'stamen' and the v3 flower design is the 'pistil'.

Tweet source from Miwasiba
Miwasiba also posted Flower's concept art on twitter to clear up her gender drama. Here's the concept art:



V4 Flower is actually an update for Flower from Vocaloid 3. Flower, the mascot character of the software v flower, is a VOCALOID3 library. Her voice was described by HoneyWorks as a "a charming female vocal" with a powerful, androgynous-sounding voice. The vocal allows her to have the reserved female tone needed for slow rock songs yet have the heavy sound needed for faster and more upbeat rock. She has a sad tone of voice in her bass, this is designed to give her the impression of a kuudere in nature. Her treble has a boyish sound to it.

English

After that, many years have passed, and the scene has dimmed
Time is cruel, then kind
The town I live in with you, and the future we promised
Everything fades under the sunlight

The frozen clock hand begins to scratch away at our time
Despair relief and the washed away rain slowly fade away

That's strange, even so, an important place deep in my chest aches
And your voice that calls my name, is as vivid as always
The thorns that chould have disappeared are always piercing me, so I don't forget
These feelings are a new chain, we will carry them forever

I don't regret anything, I just suddenly think
Of a word where everything went well

After a different meeting, I would have a different love
And by now, it would have worked out well
Like the calm after a storm
My broken heart has been healed

but I wonder why every time the seasons change, you call out
To this irreplaceable, along with our memories

From now on, always, you probably will continue to live inside my heart
In that time which we can't return, our figures laugh without knowing pain
It's sad, witout means, we are separated like this
as long as these feeling are smoldered, we'll always, always just be friends

galaco's "RED" vocal is based on her original prize version. It fixes many flaws and general annoyances with the original vocal. It is designed to be a faithful recreation of her provider's voice. It has clearer results and "brighter" characterization than galaco "Blue".

Tempo: 60 ~ 175BPM
Range: F2 ~ G4 
galaco BLUE (calm and full-bodied)

Tempo: 90 ~ 195BPM
Range: E2 ~ F#4

Height: 167 cm
Weight: 55 kg
Voice provider: -
Illustrator: Noriko Hayashi
Pitch range: E2 ~ D4
Tempo range: 60 ~ 150 BPM

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MAIKA is a Spanish VOCALOID developed and distributed by Voctro Labs, S.L., and was released in December 2013 for the VOCALOID3 engine. On September 12, 2013, Voctro Labs revealed that ONA, their "private" VOCALOID, shared the same voice provider as MAIKA.

Maika's Voice
MAIKA has a powerful feminine voice. In the lower registers she has a softer, more airy voice, while in the higher registers she has a more intense timbre. She has an extraordinarily broad pitch range, which switches from a chest voice to a head voice in the highest registers. This makes her voice suited for a large range of musical genres and styles.

While MAIKA is a Spanish voice bank, she includes an extended range of phonemes which allow for great flexibility in pronunciation. You can check out some demos of MAIKA singing in other languages such as: Portuguese, Italian, Catalan, English and Japanese.

A girl from the village, lost deep, deep in the woods,
Arrives at a mansion of the night, faded letter in hand...

She knocks on the ominous manor's damaged door;

Villager: "Is anybody there?"
Butler: "My, do you need some help?"
Doll Girl: "WEL-come..."
Doll Boy: "To our WON-drous mansion..."
Maid: "Let me serve you tea! ♪"

Everyone gathers, and the guest is "appraised";

Master: "A meeting such as this, you know, must be fate!"
Doll Twins: "Then we will party! Party!!"

"Let us welcome you!"

Doll Boy: "Hurry, hurrY!!"
Butler: "Pour the wine!"
Maid: "Be merry, be festive! ♪"
Lady: "Let us give a toast!"
Doll Girl: "Are you readY??"
Mistress: "Are we, indeed?"

"Then let us begin!"

You are the lead actress in this Crazy nighT, all dressed up with a glass of wine
Once you're just drunk enough, won't you enjoy yourself so?

Sing, dance, make merry, forget what's sweet and bitter
'Til the point of madness, enjoy a Happy☆nighT!

The night after the banquet, something seemed amiss
She went to sleep and awoke, but morning never even came...

Doll Girl: "Shall WE..."
Doll Boy: "Tell you a SE-cret...?"
Doll Twins: "Take a look at the clock... ☆"

The girl became scared, and fled into a secret room
And opening the heavy door, she found...
"JesuS! JesuS!!"
A pile of coffins...

Mistress: "Oh, dear..."
Master: "So you saw it..."
Doll Boy: "DangeR!! DangeR!!
Maid: "Don't be scared, please? ♪"
Doll Girl: "Where are you goinG??"
Butler: "Where, indeed?"

"Please, wait! ♥"

You are the lead actress in this Crazy nighT - is all according to script?
What, then, of tonight? What EndinG? It's all up to you, you know...

Search, look hard for a Happy endinG, but mess up the order, and it's all over ♡
Does the True enD lie in the coffins? Ah, is it another Bad∞End∞Night?

Villager: "What can I do to get back home?"
Master/Mistress: "Once the play is over..."
Butler/Maid: "Then you shall return..."
Villager: "The key to the Happy endinG..."
Villager: "Where has it ended up?"
Villager: "That coldly-glinting key..."

Villager: "...I fooound it."

I am the lead actress in this Crazy nighT, plunging a knife into your skulls
And once I'd swung it just enough... I began to enjoy myself so... ♥♡

Run! Run! Run for your life! Forget the play and the lines!
'Til the point of madness, break apart this Bad∞End∞Night...

You are the lead actress in this Crazy nighT; the cast and the stage are all gone
And with the story over, now, shall we all leave together?

Sing, dance, make merry, forget what's sweet and bitter
'Til the point of madness, enjoy a Bad∞End∞Night!

In the now-silent room, a shadow gave a round of applause
"A good show you put on tonight..." And it picked up the letter, weeping...

Vocaloids and Their Mascots

VOCALOID, as you know, is a voice synthesizing application that have been sold commercially since 2004. And usually, the Vocaloid engine has a mascot/avatar/personna which is also called "VOCALOID(s)". Not all Vocaloids have a physical form. And some mascot of the vocaloid engine have a biography included with their package while others leave only vague hints or none at all. The mascot has no effect on the software itself and is done purely for decorative reasons.

For example, as you know Hatsune Miku has a masot of a girl with a turquoise hair, and Kagamine Rin has a mascot of 14 year old girl with short blonde hair wearing white headbands.

VY1 has a mascot, but it is not a person, unlike many other Vocaloid mascots. It is a hair pin and represents the Vocaloid2 package, and a more elaborate version for VY1v3. So, if you find a mascot of VY1 as a person or a girl, it is not offically true. It's probably just a fan made.

VY1's masot

And all the characters and vocaloid's biography told here is actually refered to mascots of Vocaloids. You can read their biography by searching on the searching box or just click some links provided.

"Run Miku Run" - Miku Games


Run Miku Run is a flash based typing game that has the player input letters that show up on the screen to make Miku run! The game was made by daniwell and features his own song “LET’S TYPE!“. The model used for Miku in this game is the well known LAT Miku MMD model. The objective of the game is to gather as many points as you can by typing as many letters as you can before the time is up. The Ranking also lets the player see how well they can type compared to others. As this game uses random letters instead of words, words per minute do not help as much as knowing where the keys are and the player’s reaction. See how far Miku can run by typing away!

Play this game here.

MEW - Vocaloid Character


Name: Mew (ミウ / Miu)
Gender: Female
Age: -
Height: -
Voice Provider: Miu Sakamoto
Illustrator: Ryuji Otani
Range: G2~G4

"Mew" is a singer library created based on artist Miu Sakamoto's voice.

In Japan, her vocals have been, for the most part, positively received, though few producers are currently using her. She is the second least popular Vocaloid 3 release for 2011. She's also the first YAMAHA Vocaloid to have an official avatar design.

Mew's tattoo shows her name written phonetically (how it's pronounced). The way how is written (with an that features the suprasegmental's long vowel) suggest it was used English phonetic notation, something curious considering Mew is a Japanese voicebank.

About MEW's voice provider, Miu Sakamoto:
Miu and her cat, Savami.

She was born on May 1, 1980. She grew up in Tokyo until she was nine years old her parents decided to move to New York to continue their music careers. In 1997 she sang for Ryuich Sakamoto's "The never ending story". In 2006 she released an album called "Harmonious". She has a contract with Yamaha Music.

The cat on the boxart was modeled after Miu Sakamoto's own cat "Savami".
