History
IA was put up for pre-order and is set for release on the 27th of January, 2012. However, nothing is known about her.

A beta demo is now released, this song is a cover of one of Lia's original works.

Marketing
Information is being released much slower. Her promotions have taken the approach to make her seem more outterworldly and mysterious.

Usage for Music
From the demo, she has a light toned voice that is soft and relatively clear. Her voice is simailair to her provider's vocals, making her one of the more realistic Vocaloids. Some experienced users report in her demo she sounds flat and is badly tuned with a poor mid-range. Her high notes are also slightly muffled and unclear. However, as this is a beta demo there is still room for improvement.

Trivia

 * In her subtitle of "ARIA ON THE PLANETES" the words "Aria" and "Planetes" are latin for "open space" and "planet" giving the translation of "Open Space of the planet".
