VOCALOID 4 LUMi Announced!

Today, a new female VOCALOID created by Akatsuki Virtual Artist (AVA) named LUMi was announced! She is voiced by the famous voice actress Ohara Sayaka, popular for her roles as Erza Scarlet (Fairy Tail) and Sailor Neptune (Sailormoon Crystal). The character design is illustrated by Fugin Miyama, a well-known illustrator for the Overlord and Eureka Seven series. LUMi is confirmed to be a VOCALOID 4.

Currently, we don’t have much information on her, other than that a trial version of her voice bank will be released on June 3rd, 2017. No demo song or voice sample has been released, either. Her announcement is available on AVA’s official website, as well as a tweet from Ohara Sayaka’s Twitter account.
