History
On June 2012 Internet Co, Ltd tweeted that they had begun production of an English version of the Megpoid software, however they also confirmed it would take some time to produce. Recording for the data had finished in mid-2012 according to Noboru. Noboro also stated that the database for the English voicebank is 5 times the size of that of the Japanese voicebank, and that they are following the standard build set by Yamaha for English voicebanks. They hoped that the release of the voicebank would come in 2013. This was to be correct.

The English version was finally released on Feb 28, 2013, in conjunction with the "VOCALOID Trans-Pacific" with the aim to introduce Vocaloid to the United States.

Prior to the final release, Noboru had tweeted that they had released a small snippet of GUMI English singing "- I Love You"

In Jan 2013, over 4,000 phonetic connections were being checked on their pronunciation against tempo.

In relation to her release, those who brought products directly from Internet before were given a discount and sold at ¥ 5,985, making her the cheapest possible English vocal library plug-in upon her release.
