The first two Vocaloids were Leon, Lola. Released on the 3rd of March in 2004. These are sometimes known as "Engaloids" cause they're English. The one after that was also English, Miriam, released July 26th 2004. All 3 produced by Zero-G
First Japanese Vocaliod was Meiko, who was released on the 5th of November 2004. Then Kaito was released 2 years later, February 17th 2006.
These are Vocaloid 1s.
From the internet (I don't suggest this) or buy it in Japan
In terms of Vocaloid software: no. The Vocaloid software was developed in Spain at Pompeu Fabra University, though the research team which created it was led by a Japanese man, Kenmochi Hideki. In terms of Vocaloid characters: the first two were Leon (LE♂N) and Lola (L♀la), though they did not have "avatars" and only sang in English. They were developed and marketed by the Japanese company Yamaha, so in a sense Japan can be considered the first country to have Vocaloids.
The initial idea for Vocaloid began in 2000. If we don't count prototype versions of the software, the first commercially available Vocaloid was released in January of 2004.
Oliver is the first English Vocaloid he was voiced by a young Brittish boy
Actually the first vocaloid was launched with another one at the same time so the first Vocaloids are Leon and Lola. The English Vocaloids. In the series of Japanese Vocaloid however, Meiko is first.
Vocaloid is not an anime because, well, vocaloid is a program made in Japan where you buy the characters and the sets and you can make your own videos. Sometimes they're fan-made and other times they're made by the actual people. So, to answer your question, Vocaloid is a program, not an anime or manga. Vocaloid isn't an anime, but they have made a manga of it. It's called Hatsune Mix, and you can read it on onemanga.com.
LEON and LOLA created by Zero-G ltd. in 2004. They belong in the VOCALOID 1.
In Japan. It cost a lot of yen, though. Or you can get it on ebay, amazon or somewhere.
Vocaloid is not an Anime. So Lucky Star. If you're going to ask which was created first, it is unknown. What I do know is that Vocaloid was created before Lucky Star's Games, Light Novels, Animes, and the second Manga series...the first Manga series of Lucky Star and Vocaloid both were released in January of 2004. Answer 2: VOCALOID was anounced in 2003, and the first VOCALOIDs (LEON and LOLA) were shown at the NAMM Show in Janurary 2004. LEON and LOLA were later released at March 2004.
Yes, Ai is a vocaloid. A vocaloid 3 to be exact.
Because Vocaloid is a licensed technology, there are many products that use it. Zero-G's first generation Vocaloids (all English voice libraries) have demo versions available for download. Google the following: zero-g vocaloid trial Should be the first search hit.
If you do not count prototypes (that would be Yamaha themselves) then the first commercially available Vocaloid product, Leon and Lola, were created by Zero-G, a UK based company, in 2004.
