;Chika
:Chika is the first commercially released vocal to demonstrate the new style of recording technique introduced with VOCALOID4. The technique was created by Noboru Murakami and introduce more triphones to smooth out the vocal and act as a means to capture more vocal traits. The new technique resulted in more vocal traits being captured for use within the VOCALOID engine, and even though Chika can sound like past VOCALOIDs, she does not behave like them. She ends up being the divider between the older recording techniques of VOCALOID3 and newer ones that followed in VOCALOID4.
