About
Internet Co., Ltd. was established in 1988 as a music software developer in Osaka, Japan. Their Vocaloid products feature Gakupo Kamui (Gackpoid), released in Jul. 2008 and GUMI (Megpoid), released in Jun. 2009, Lily (who was jointly developed by Avex Management Co., Ltd), released in Aug. 2010, Ryuto Gachapoid, released in Oct. 2010, and CUL, released in Dec. 2011. Vocaloid had already become popular in the music trend when they started to develop the products and there was a demand for professional singing vocal's and has opted to produce "Vocaloid artist" voicebanks. By then, singers had less rejection of cloning their voices so professional singers like Gackt and Megumi Nakajima were adopted unlike Crypton Future Media Inc., which employed voice actresses and actors for their products. Since the Vocaloid2 engine was retired from sale, Internet began to update their Vocaloids to the latest Vocaloid engine, Vocaloid3 and retire their original voicebanks from sale. Gumi was first with Vocaloid 3 Megpoid (originally called Megpoid Extend) being released in Oct. 2011 and her formal updated voicebank, Megpoid Native, was released in Mar. 2012. Lily was next with her Vocaloid 3 voicebank being released in Apr. 2012. V3 Gackpoid Extend was released July 13, and Gachapoid will follow after him. Internet has also announced a English Megpoid Voicebank.
