HistoryEdit

When VOCALOID4 was released, Yukari was assigned an update. Chihiro Ishiguro, who was part of the team behind Yukari, was involved with the project due to her experience in voice acting to produce two new voicebanks for the character. The team wanted to develop Yukari in both 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]

Product Information
Optimum
Optimum Range: D2 ~ F4  Optimum Tempo: 60 ~ 120 BPM   Total Tempo (min-max): 60 BPM  No. of Keys: W ~ 17, B ~ 11, Total ~ 28
Package details as noted:
Onn (Whisper) is a soft, whispery toned voicebank. It acts as a supporting vocal to the main "JUN" vocal. It works best for jazz, ballads and other calm genres. It is a result of applied voice acting techniques and was recorded from an entirely new set of recordings. [1]
Vocal traits as noted:
With a similar tempo and range to the "JUN" vocal, this acts as more of a natural tone change than "Lin". This is a more expressive vocal, which gives it the smooth, loose pronunciations for slow genres of music.

Product Information
Optimum
Optimum Range: G2 ~ A4  Optimum Tempo: 80 ~ 200 BPM   Total Tempo (min-max): 120 BPM  No. of Keys: W ~ 16, B ~ 11, Total ~ 27
Package details as noted:
Lin (Power) is a vocal with a stronger and solid tone. It acts as a supporting vocal to the main "JUN" vocal. It is best suited for heavier genres such as techno and rock. It is a result of applied voice acting techniques and was recorded from an entirely new set of recordings. [1]
Vocal traits as noted:
It is capable of sharper transitions between notes due to a strong treble range. Has the largest tempo of all 3 vocals, allowing it to cover the most types of genres. While "JUN" and "ONN" are geared towards more slow paced genres, Lin is geared towards faster, upbeat songs. It has greater clarity than "JUN" and "ONN". Gives more of an impact when used for XSY than "JUN" or "ONN". Some users noted that is quite different compared to the other two voicebanks and produces a more particular performance. The tempo range total is double that of the other two voicebanks in this release, allowing it to cover many more genres of music then either can cover.
Software issues as noted:
XSY this voice with "JUN" and "ONN" can have more unpredictability than "JUN" and "ONN" have with each other. The vocal could have some distortion issues on high notes, but not a lot.
