Piapro has set up a special site for the 20th anniversary of Meiko, a Vocaloid that Yamaha Corporation developed and Crypton Future Media distributed. She first came out in November 2004.
The site includes information on some of the commemorative merchandise you’ll be able to purchase. As well, you can check out Meiko’s biography and past designs. Wasshi, who designed her V1 look, sent in the concept art, which you can check out on the website as well. As for goods that are part of the Meiko 20th anniversary celebrations, you’ll be able to get figures like Nendoroids, as well as food items like sake and macarons.
As one of Piapro’s Vocaloids, Meiko often appears in games like Project Diva. Some of the songs that appear in these games include “Mellow Yellow” and “Nostalgic.” She also appears in ensemble tracks, or in duets with other Vocaloids like Kaito.
Singer-songwriter Meiko Haigo provides the vocal samples for Meiko. You can check out her YouTube channel and website for more information on her musical activities. Haigo is still holding live performances, and her most recent one was on November 3, 2024. Her next one will be on December 8, 2024.
The Meiko site will continue to update whenever there are new campaigns or projects that are part of the 20th anniversary for the Vocaloid.
