Kizuna Akari (VOCALOID4)


 * This is an article about the Kizuna Akari software for the VOCALOID4 engine.

History
While celebrating the 5th anniversary of Yuzuki Yukari, the subject of the next vocal was brought up. The team wanted to continue to develop on Yukari at the time. Having released all the planned vocals for Yukari both in Vocaloid and Voiceroid, the issue became a more serious one.

On November 30, 2017, Vocalomakets and AH-Software Co. Ltd. revealed a new character to be added to the VOICEROID2 line: Kizuna Akari. Her VOICEROID2 product was set to be released on December 22 that year. It was also mentioned that they were working diligently on her VOCALOID version at the time. Juu Ayakura was confirmed to be the illustrator for Akari, but her voice provider was not to be revealed until the VOCALOID package was released. Vocalomakets later tweeted that there is no information about Akari's relation to her predecessor, Yuzuki Yukari, and only confirmed parts of her biography.

On December 17, Vocalomakets hosted a livestream featuring new Yuzuki Yukari merchandise and three Akari VOCALOID demos. It was revealed that Akari also has exVOICE files and that she was expected to release in 2018.

On March 29, 2018, Akari's preorder period was launched. It was revealed that Akari would be available as an individual pack (physical and digital copies), a starter pack, and a dual pack with Yukari. Her release date was confirmed to be April 26, 2018.

On April 13, Akari's trial was made available.
