History
At the Nico Nico Douga Daikaigi 2010 Summer: Egao no Chikara event, YAMAHA, Fuji TV Kids, and the Internet Co. Ltd. music and software company announced that they would release a new voice pack for the Vocaloid2 singing simulation softare. The pack will be based on the Gachapin character from Hirake! Ponkikki, a popular Fuji TV kids' program which ran from 1973 to 1993. The "Gachapoid" Gachapin x Vocaloid voice pack CD will be released on October 8 with a special green case and a free six-month subscription to Nico Nico Douga's premium paid service.

Usage for Music
Gachapoid is intended to appeal to young audiences and is designed with young producers in mind. His voice is perky and significantly different to other voices before him. He is not intended to sound like a normal human at all since it was orginally designed for a cartoon character. Though he is significantly different to other Vocaloids, his voice is reported to be difficult to work with, though results need not be as perfect as with more human sounding Vocaloids.

Trivia

 * Gachapoid will be the first Vocaloid to be released based on a franchise, however he was the second to be anounced.
