SONiKA

Sonika (ソニカ　Sonika) is the 5th Vocaloid created by Zero-G. Released on 14th July 2009, she is the third English speaking Vocaloid to use the updated Vocaloid2 software. She has been specifically tailored to mimic the Japanese vocaloids in both appearance and sound, and is the first English speaking vocaloid to use an actual character illustration as part of the product. Though marketed to an English speaking audience, Sonika can potentially speak any language due to the fact that her vocal bank is not limited to syllables and phonetics, so she is able to produce any consonant and vowel combination imaginable. ==Sonika on Twitter== Following her release, Zero-G took a unique stance with her post-release development. Not only were her measurement details released on her official website but they have created and maintained a Twitter page for Sonika, something unheard of for any past vocaloid. Tweets have included pictures of herself with a different hair colour, announcing her favourite food is sashimi tuna and announcing upcoming interviews in media articles. She has even made direct reference to fans discussing what her character item should be. The most popular items are a golden ring (similar to those shown in Sonic the Hedgehog), a bell, and a pineapple. ==External links== Sonika Official Website Sonika on Twitter Petition for Golden Ring character item  ==References==
