About
They are the creators of VOCALOID Sweet Ann and Big Al. They were first introduced to the software after the introduction of first Vocaloids from Zero-G at the NAMM trade show (Lola and Leon) and were later recommended to Yamaha by Crypton Future Media.

Orginally they used an old 20th movie poster style of boxart for both Sweet Anne and Big-Al, but due to fan reaction later would switch Big-Al's artwork to a more western/anime style prior to his release. PowerFX's vocaloids are unique in that they are based on monsters of classic horror and science fiction (sometimes fans call their vocaloids "Monsteroids"). After Big-Al's release they noted they intend to continue this for future vocaloids and were considering even producing a virtaul boy band of vocaloids.

MusikMesse fair
The first song demo using Big-Al, “Make Me Feel”, was prepared by Alexei Ustinov for the Frankfurt MusikMesse 2007 fair.

My Space
Sweet Ann was orginally given a My Space page as part of promotion for her.

After the much welcomed improved artwork of Big-Al, there were talks of a competition to design a new artwork for Sweet Ann.
