Mew

Mew (ミウ / Miu) is a Vocaloid by Yamaha. Her voice provider is Miu Sakamoto and uses the Vocaloid 3 engine.

History
Mew is a female Vocaloid based on singer Miu Sakamoto. The Vocaloid will feature on the CD "THE VOCALOIDS". A demo of her song called "LINE" by Yuyoyuppe can be previewed on the official site

When the Japanese Yamaha Vocaloid website was updated, it was revealed that Mew was due to be released as a bundled package with the Vocaloid 3 software as a starter option alongside VY1 who was being released separately under the same bundle. Mew is also sold on her own without the software.

Her boxart was revealed on the 9/13/2011.

She was made available to purchase on pre-order on the official VOCALOID Site on 9/30/11, making her, Gumi Extend, and VY1v3 the very first Vocaloids of the 3rd generation.

Concept
The cat on the boxart was modeled after Miu Sakamoto's own cat "Savami".

Etymology
Her name is based on her providers name "Miu Sakamoto"

Mew's tattoo shows her name written phonetically (how it's pronounced). The way how is written (with an [uː] that features the suprasegmental's long vowel) suggest it was used English phonetic notation, something curious considering Mew is a Japanese voicebank.

Marketing
Mew's provider, Miu Sakamoto, was the subject of several interviews before the Vocaloids release and had more attention then Vocaloids such as VY1 and VY2.
