▼What is “KARENT” https://karent.jp/ A Vocaloid music label operated by Crypton Future Media, Inc. It distributes music to major global streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and LINE MUSIC, social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, and download stores such as the iTunes Store and Amazon Music. The label is also popular for releasing songs used at official Crypton events and streaming specials held on the anniversaries of virtual singers. ▼What is “MEIKO”?https://piapro.net/ Released by Crypton Future Media, Inc. on November 5, 2004, as the first VOCALOID*a capable of singing in Japanese. It was also a pioneer in using a character on the packaging for this type of software. MEIKO’s singing voice was developed based on that of singer-songwriter Meiko Haigo, and the character depicted on the packaging features short chestnut-colored bob hair and a short, red top and miniskirt. The software has also been updated, with MEIKO V3 released in 2014 and the Piapro Characters Super Pack released in 2024. Now, as a part of Crypton’s “Piapro Characters”*b, she is active on the world stage as a virtual singer, appearing on merchandise and in 3DCG live shows. *a) The original definition was the name and name of the singing voice synthesis technology and application software developed by Yamaha Corporation in 2003, which allows users to create vocal parts for songs simply by entering lyrics and melody (musical score information). It is now sometimes used as a genre in the music scene, and songs using singing voice synthesis software in general (including similar software using technologies other than VOCALOID) are sometimes referred to as “VOCALOID songs.” *b) “Piapro” is a coined word derived from “Peer Production,” a chain of creation, and expresses the hope that it will be an entity that supports the chain of creation. It is the collective term for “MEIKO” and its subsequent software, “KAITO,” “Hatsune Miku,” “Kagamine Rin,” “Kagamine Len,” and “Megurine Luka.” All of these are singing voice synthesis software planned and developed by Crypton Future Media, Inc., and are popular virtual singer characters. *”VOCALOID” and “VOCALOID” are registered trademarks of Yamaha Corporation.
