CRYPTON / Megurine Luka

A Vocaloid with a slightly mysterious character voice that is perfect for creating vocal parts for songs.

What is VOCALOID 2 ""Megurine Luka""?
The virtual singer Megurine Luka is a vocal android (VOCALOID) based on the cool and slightly mysterious character voice of voice actress Yu Asakawa.

This title features a first for the game, featuring two voice databases—one in Japanese and one in English—making her a bilingual female singer with a total capacity of over 3GB. This not only enables her to fluently handle modern pop music that blends Japanese and English, something previously difficult to achieve with vocal sound sources, but also makes her highly versatile, supporting worldwide music. Her cool voice, recorded with the concept of a ""moody and husky female voice,"" covers a wide range from mid- to high-range notes. She's suited to everything from classic dance genres like house to deep electronic music, as well as jazzy and bluesy, mature sounds.

What is VOCALOID 2?
VOCALOID 2 is the world's most advanced vocal sound source, offering ""extremely realistic singing voices synthesized from recorded human voices."" It accurately reproduces fortissimo, crescendo, and vibrato, and adapts singing style and vocal quality to match the lyrics.

The secret to VOCALOID 2's realism lies in ""Frequency-domain Singing Articulation Splicing and Shaping"" technology, developed over many years by Yamaha Corporation. By synthesizing high-quality recorded human voices using this technology, it produces fluent singing that sounds indistinguishable from a real person.

Furthermore, VOCALOID 2 offers even more realistic singing than previous versions. Breath components in particular sound more natural.
