===Voicebanks===
;Sachiko
:Sachiko is a voicebank designed for enka. It is a professional and specialized tool and was an example of YAMAHA's ability to capture the traits of a vocalist. It was able to take jerky vibrato results and is able to pitchbend easy, a trait not all VOCALOIDs can handle so easily for the same genre of music. She was intended to be a professional vocal for professional producers.
