Lily

Lily (リリィ) is a Japanese VOCALOID developed and distributed by Internet Co., Ltd., done in collaboration with Avex Management Co., Ltd and YAMAHA Corporation, and was initially released in August 2010 for the VOCALOID2 engine. There has since been a second installment developed for the VOCALOID3 engine and dubbed V3 Lily. Her voice is provided by the Japanese female singer, Yuri Masuda (益田 祐里; Masuda Yuri).

Concept
She represents Yuri's anime-persona or avatar for anim.o.v.e.'s releases.

Lily is one of the few VOCALOIDs outside of those made by Crypton Future Media to have referenced the most popular Internet Memes. As part of her marketing, two figurines were made, one of them being her with a railway sign that referenced "Ievan Polkka" while the one was her with a bee.

Etymology
Early speculation on Lily's given name was that it was derived from the name of her voice provider Yuri Masuda, as "yuri" literally means "lily".

Examples of Usage

 * -|Lily=
 * -|V3 Lily=

Marketing
She herself was part of the promotion for Yuri of ANIM.O.V.E. and thus most of the merchandise isn't directed at her as a VOCALOID. Regardless, the level of promotion had not been seen outside of the Crypton Future Media VOCALOIDs prior to Lily's sale and although not aimed at the VOCALOID herself, still gave strong support for her software.

Trivia

 * Since she was not actually developed as part of Internet Co., Ltd's product line, her name does not follow Internet's naming scheme of using "poid" at the end of the software's title, despite being sold by them. Nor does she have a separate name for her mascot and software.
 * Kio's model is available by purchase of Windows 100% magazine and MMD Second Pack magazine.
 * Her height has never been clarified, however, in "Schwarzgazer" she was shown to be of average height.

Notable for...

 * First VOCALOID sold by Internet Co., Ltd, and not to be part of their main series
 * First VOCALOID that appeared in a commercial Music Video
 * First VOCALOID to be an already existing character
