Her VOCALOID2 software and promotions therefore were restricted for a long time to within Japan and not even software support was offered in English.Ĭrypton Future Media applied for trademark for Luka on January 29, 2015. Instead, she was focused primarily at Japanese producers. History Marketingĭespite the inclusion of English, Megurine Luka was not aimed at a worldwide audience. The blue jewel near her throat represents moisture in the air and water drops. The gold curl design on her chest mimics brass instruments and a circulatory organ. Her design incorporates woodwind and brass instruments. As a form of contrast, the "∞" on her neck area represents "sound around". Her dress was designed to look old-fashioned to make her represent the past. Unlike previous mascots in the series, her costume is not based on a school uniform. Her codename of "CV03" means "Character Vocal 03".Īccording to KEI, who was asked by Crypton to illustrate her, her design was made to be asymmetrical due to her bilingual software so she would look different in various angles.
Her name is based on her concept, which is "travelling sound", meaning words which are translated from one language to another. Her surname combines "Meguri" (巡, circulate or around) and "Ne" (音, sound), while the name "Luka" invokes the Japanese homonyms "nagare" (流, flow) and "ka" (歌, song) or "ka" (香, scent), thus making: "songs to all around the world as scent spreads."
Luka's original concept was that of a bilingual VOCALOID and according to Crypton Future Media, Luka was originally going to be called "Hatsune Miku", prior to the change of concept plans for the Character Vocal series.
