Vocaloid2 was also used for Project 575's initial related software, and was a base for IVOCALOID and VOCALOID first. Its technology is dated but decent enough and basic enough and was used for even post-Vocaloid3 related things despite V3 being the main engine. Whereas V3 is a much more advance software version and more complex, making itself a more restricted software version.

The software running V2 has a "lite" version of it, this was not actually sold to customers. ITs also why with some work you can get every vocal released for the V2 lite version to work on later engines, as they are still V2 on their core. Normally, however, they do not register and honestly? In many cases since V2 was a more lower quality engine with things like triphones missing, there is no real benefit to using any of these versions as their official released versions for V3 and V4 just did better results. These things were discovered when the software hackers broke into the software versions, which is how we know about all of this, they likewise were responsible for them being ported into V3 and V4.

Its strange to think of it, but V2 didn't die in 2010 and has continued to exist post its retirement until 2015.

This girl is not the only one to get such a release either way, as Aoki Lapis is also noted to have had a V2 version released for this reason, as she had a mobile release for the iVocaloid and Vocalowitter, both V2 tech.
