===Appearance===
As part of the VY series, CYBER SONGMAN follows similar ideals to past VY vocals VY1 and VY2. These VOCALOIDs were designed with the intention of being able to freely manipulate the VOCALOID to how a producer wants.
It is speculated that because YAMAHA was aiming for the Western audience and looking for a more professional look, they opted to use a simple photo as an avatar without a character concept behind it (similar to Zero-G's Prima and Tonio). The sunglasses the model features are the KTZ model by Linda Farrow.
There are a few editing errors within the image of his boxart, such as a black triangle in his hair, while other components are mirrored edits such as the arms.

;CYBER SONGMAN
:The CYBER SONGMAN voicebank was created as a high quality English voicebank, it is a demonstration of improvements between old and new English YAMAHA scripts. CYBER SONGMAN resolves the issue that its counter-partner CYBER DIVA had with a lack of expression within the vocal. The result is that he actually sounds like he is singing.
