| Crypton Future Media announced the third character VOCALOID "Megurune Luka (巡音ルカ)". Voice actress Asakawa Yuu provided the voice data. The software will be released on January 30th. Character features Age: 20 Height: 162cm Weight: 45kg Language: Japanese and English Voice type: Husky (D3~D5) Demo songs Amazing Grace (mp3) DEMO SONG01 (mp3) Source: Megurune Luka Official Website Additional Info from Crypton official Blog "Her name '巡音 (Megurine)' means 'the sounds that travel around (巡り伝わる音)'. CV03 will travel around and meet (巡り合う) with many possibilities. Japanese sounds meet English sounds and humans meet the machines. We expect CV03 will let different concepts, cultures, and languages meet with each other and she'll connect them together." "The key concept of the character design is 'a brass instrument'. Sounds travels (巡り伝わる) through the tract of the instrument. A "tract" is indispensable for humans to interact with the sounds." "Asakawa Yuu-san was already chosen in the early 2007. It was earlier than Hatsune Miku project. Unfortunately, we couldn't make it in scheduling the recording session." Source: Crypton Official Blog |

Xeranthemum said: Her outfit and design is really different compared to the other VOCALOIDs, I think. Yeah.. but looks awesome imo. |
| Her design looks like it came straight out of a fantasy anime/manga. That aside, she looks nice, and her voice is okay too. |
 |
| she kinda looks medieval, just give her a sword and a shield, w.e nice try crypton, but she cant top vocaloid's goddess, MIKU |

kupaziom said: why so old. She does look much older than stated age but i blame her outfit design for that. Voice was pretty good IMO. |
| OMG! Asakawa Yuu? Absolute love! |
 |
| You just cant beat Miku ^__^ |
| I love her outfit :D |
| Hmm, Vocaloids. Never did get the rage over characterized voice synthesis software. Although I may try it out someday, seeing as I have a tendency towards virtual *insert anything here* software. |

| Is it just or does Megurine looks rather underweight.. She appears to weigh much lesser than 45kg, more like half of that.. |

| I prefer Luka over Miku. That is, if they didn't include the extremely lightweight data O_o Hail for 3D characters. |

| Outfit design is very different, but still pretty awesome. Ive been waiting for this. Cant wait for the release. ENGLISH AND JAPANESE. ah, im loving it. |
     |
| my fave vocaloid so far ^_^ |
 |
| I think she is pretty! I am already itching to do some fan art :D |
| Like Shoujo? Visit: Emily's Random Shoujo Manga Page |
| megurine just beat Miku in my favor. o_O |
    |
| I don't know why you don't like luka, I like her very much! It's something different, Miku is just moe, but Luka looks pretty good to me In fact, I like her better xD but that's just my opinion. |
Neverender said: Pales in comparison to my wife. how good of you to say that lol ^-^;; I like the design. VOCALOIDs seem like they'd be fun to play with. |
  |
| This is interesting. |
| Hello! |
last.fm
| Once, I saw a random Japanese yonkoma comparing Miku and Rin to Kagami and Tsukasa from Lucky Star, which predicted that the next Vocaloid will look like Miyuki. |
| wait whats a vocaloid. i have an idea but i'm not pretty sure if its right |
| oooo I really like the design. Can't wait till a figure of her gets created. |
 |
| I'd be first in line to buy a PVC of her. :O |
|
| Pretty Vocaloid. :/ I wonder if she's gonna be in the Hatsune manga in the future. 8D |
 |
| Lovely design for a vocaloid, and it's at least different in comparison to the others like Gakupo. I love her voice, sounds clean, melodious, and a lot less electronic; but I suppose that breaks the vocaloid concept. Hahaha. I wonder what her "item" will be? Hatsune Miku = Leek Megurine Luka = ? |
| Megurine Luka's design is quite nice. I think either a harp or a musical instrument fashioned in the likeness of a sword would suit her. |
 |
| OMG i'd raep the hell out of that ginger loli any day.... |

If you wanna copy and paste the images (and songs) in PIAPRO to somewhere else (like your blog or uploaders), you must follow the rules: 1. Credit the creator's name (It's indicated at the top of the page next to the avatar "**さん") 2. Leave an appreciation comment in the box at the bottom of the page. The box locates below "この作品へメッセージを書く (Leave comments for the image)" You can post a message in English. #Choose a check button from "ご意見・感想 (General comments)", "使わせてもらいました (I borrowed your image)", and "その他 (Others)". #Write the text and click "入力内容を確認する (Confirm your message)". #Click "このメッセージを書き込む (Post this message)". I saw many non-Japanese PIAPRO users copy&pasting images without crediting the original creators. Please follow the rules. |
