History
Utatane Piko was originally meant to be the partner vocal of SF-A2 miki but due to problems he was separated from his "sister" vocal.[1]
Piko was released on December 8, 2010, at a price of 15,750 yen (around $173.08). A free trial version was released on December 1. The same day his trial was released, Sony demanded that all content made with it be taken down.[2] Piko's artwork was designed by YukitA.
Final Retirement
At the end of 2015, it was announced that from March 31, 2016, VOCALOID2 was being retired and no new serial codes were be issued by Yamaha.[3]
In 2017, Yamaha noted that anyone who sent the proof of ownership could get a code to import Piko into VOCALOID4.[4]
In July 2020[5], it was noticed that Piko's voicebank was marked "out of stock" on Sony Music's store website.[6]
