History[]
On October 13, 2022, a DTM livestream was launched following the release of VOCALOID6. The livestream confirmed that a total of sixteen new vocals were upcoming at the time, all with their own color themes. Eight of the vocals (AYA, SAKURA, NAOKI, ASAHI, KENJI, SHION, YUKA, and HAYATO) had revealed designs, while four had revealed names (YUINA, KAZUYA, KANA, and TAKU) but no designs yet. The remaining four did not have a confirmed name or design and were simply represented as "???". It was confirmed that these products would be a variety of Japanese and English vocals that would be added as free updates.[1][2]
On October 9, 2024, upon the release of the VOCALOID6 version 6.4.3 update, two of the sixteen announced vocals were added to the engine: YUINA and NAOKI (a female and male pair of Japanese voicebanks respectively), with YUINA's design finally being revealed in the process.[3] They were also the newest additions to the VOCALO CHANGER standalone program version 1.2.1 update.[4]

Package details as noted: | |
The two vocals acted as "starter" vocals and were acquired upon the purchase of VOCALOID6 from Yamaha's VOCALOID Shop following the version 6.4.3 update. This is the fifth time since VOCALOID5 a release was only available with a major engine release, though the fourth ones to only be included with the need to buy the engine once. The vocals would not be available through VOCALOID6 starter packs featuring other vocalists, such as the Vocalo no Ci-chan starter pack. The package was split between a pair of male/female vocals. These vocals acted as a new "Standard" for VOCALOID. As AI voicebanks, they have a natural flexible expressive that could be used to create a variety of singing voices. | |
