Vocaloid Corner: Megurine Luka

After Hatsune Miku and the Kagamine twins, Megurine Luka (巡音ルカ) is Crypton Future Media, Inc.'s third Vocaloid listed under its Character Voice series.

Voiced by singer/voice actress Yu Asakawa (浅川悠), Megurine Luka was originally going to be called Hatsune Miku, prior to the change of concept plans for the Character Vocal series. The definitive name roughly comes from a literal translation of the sentence "songs to all around the world as scent spreads", as this is the very first Vocaloid to have a bilingual voice bank for a more accurate rendition of both Japanese and English sentences. Ranked 7th in 2014 in an overall Vocaloid popularity poll, she received an updated voice bank in March 2015 for the VOCALOID4 generation.

Despite appearing as a regular character for Taiko no Tatsujin songs starring Hatsume Miku custom dancers, Megurine Luka had to wait an arcade generation later for the inception of some Vocaloid tracks starring her voice.
