MAYU

MAYU is an upcoming female Vocaloid3 vocal by Exit Tunes, who released Vocaloid related CDs and albums in the past for Crypton Future Media and INTERNET Co.,Ltd Vocaloids.

Her release is due in days on December the 5th 2012. 

History
Mayu was announced in early May 2012 at the live event "EXIT TUNES ACADEMY".

On 13th of May 2012, EXIT TUNES reported that she was 60% complete.

Later, it was announced that she is expected to be released on December 5, 2012.

Concept
Mayu is intended to be a yandere influenced Vocaloid, while her outfit is based on lolita fashion, notice in her boxart there is also an ax, emphasizing the yandere influence in her design.

The name of the rabbit she has is Usano Mimi (宇佐乃ミミ). It was first introduced in a April Fools' Day 2012 joke as a parody of the Crypton Future Media Character Vocal series website. There, it was listed as a new line of Vocaloids called "Animaloid".

Notes about her appearance:
 * Her hat has a speaker attached
 * Her earnings appear to be styled like the Bluetooth headsets (Best way to describe it.)
 * Her hair itself fades from simple blonde to rainbow
 * The buttons on her dress are amplifier buttons/knobs
 * The bottom of her dress is clearly a keyboard
 * The rabbit doll (Animaloid?) she holds has a microphone at the top of its head
 * She appears to be holding an axe, which may show her yandere influences
 * Her shoes have neon lighting flowing through them
 * Her stuffed rabbit's name in English is Bunny Ears.

Her birthday is on the 6th of May.

Mayu has a standard usage "terms of use".
