* CeVIO AI
* VOICEPEAK

**HARU** (羽(ハ)累(ル)) is a vocal synthesizer character derived from the Japanese Virtual Singer, Harusaruhi. She was released as a Japanese singing voicebank for *CeVIO AI*, developed by KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO as a part of the *ARTIFICIAL SINGING SYNTHESIZER* series in November 2023.

On January 13, 2024, it was announced that HARU would be released as a text-to-speech library for *VOICEPEAK* and was expected to release in 2024. Pre-order reservations were announced to be opening on January 29.

HARU's voice is provided by the virtual singer, Harusaruhi.

## Concept

HARU is advertised as a "ARTIFICIAL SINGING SYNTHESIZER" (音楽的同位体) of her voice provider Harusaruhi, similar to that of KAFU, SEKAI, RIME & COKO. In her official debut trailer, her concept phrase is: *"Your "music" emerges. What you love, what you hate; bring it together in your "lyrics.""* (あなたの「音楽」 が羽化する。好きも嫌いも「詞」に累ねて。) Her signature color is green, specifically hex code #3CD705.

### Etymology

HARU's name is a stylized version of her voice provider Harusaruhi's name.

Her name takes from the verbs of her concept phrase; from 羽化する (emerge) and 累ねて (piled-up) to form 羽累 (HARU). Together, it translates literally to "piled-up/accumulated wings".

Additionally, the name "HARU" shares its romanization with Harusaruhi's character "Asanushi Haru" (朝主派流) from KAMITSUBAKI CITY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. (神椿市建設中。)

### Appearance

HARU has long straight white hair with choppy angular bangs and a braided strand on the right side of her head. Her pupils are teal and purple, her eyeshadow and lipstick are yellow. She wears a short, white, high-necked jacket with puffy sleeves. A black and teal diamond pattern decorates the sleeves. She wears a black coat with white triangles on the hem over a white minidress. Her leggings are black with a white triangles on the upper thigh, and a white line down the center. Her shoes are black loafer-like short boots with teal tongues, and rims. Her black headset has one red cup and one teal.

HARU was illustrated by Japanese illustrator Isshiki.
