History
Edit
When VOCALOID4 was released, Yukari was assigned an update. Chihiro Ishiguro, is part of the team behind Yukari, got involved with the project due to their experience with Voice acting to produce two new voicebanks for the voice of Yukari. The team wanted to development the Yukari vocal both in Vocaloid and Voiceroid before they started on any new vocal.[1]
Silhouettes for Yuzuki Yukari, along with the other VOCALOIDs by AH-Software, were revealed on a poster on November 6, 2014, however, it was unconfirmed what they were for at the time.[2] On November 20, it was revealed in the livestream for VOCALOID4 that they all would be receiving VOCALOID4 voicebanks with the exception of Tohoku Zunko.
Yukari was specifically announced to be receiving an "Onn" voicebank as well as her original voicebank.[3] This new voicebank was intended to sound calmer than her original, similar to the "Whisper" and "Soft" voicebanks produced by other companies.
On December 20, via a livestream, it was announced that Yukari would receive three V4 voicebanks: her "Onn" (穏) voicebank, a powerful "Lin" (凛) voicebank, and a natural "Jun" (純) voicebank that was intended to be similar to her original V3.[4][5] It was also revealed that Yukari's voicebanks could be purchased together in one package or separately.[6]
On January 28, 2015, a press release revealed the prices for the download and physical versions of her individual voicebanks, her complete package, and her starter pack. It was also mentioned that people who have purchased her VOCALOID3 version, or registered as one of AHS's users, would receive a discount on her VOCALOID4 update. She was set for release on March 18.[7][8]
On March 3, AH-Software and DTM magazine hosted a livestream showcasing all of Yukari's voicebanks individually as well as cross synthesis and growl capabilities.
On March 11, Yukari V4's trial was made available, which included all three of her voicebanks.[9]
