| PESME: https://vocaloid.serbianforum.info/f56-gumi-pesme-songsGender: ♀ -------------------- Company: Internet Co. , Ltd Distributor: Internet Co. Ltd Voice provider: Megumi Nakajima Illustrator: Masami Yuuki (Original/2009) (V3 Megpoid/2012) (Megpoid English/2013) Reduced no.: VA-M01 Affilation: YAMAHA, ParaPhray
GUMI (グミ) is the official mascot character of Megpoid (メグッポイド / Meguppoido) which is singing synthesizer application software powered by Yamaha's Vocaloid2. Megpoid was published by INTERNET Co.,Ltd. The original avatar character of the software was drawn by the illustrator Masami Yuuki (ゆうきまさみ Yuuki Masami) Concept Gumi was the next Vocaloid to be released by Internet Co., Ltd and had a more retro-futuristic approach than Gakupo had. Appearance
Her design is often said to be influenced by Ranka Lee's character (one of the first roles done by Megumi Nakajima as seiyuu). Ranka Lee's most main outfit (which she wears for the notable song Seikan Hikou) had the colors green, yellow, and orange. This has never been confirmed as anything more than coincidence, but still is a popular assumption with both Japanese and overseas Vocaloid fans. Character Traits
The name GUMI is the voice provider Megumi Nakajima's nickname from her childhood.[1] The software name, "Megpoid", was taken from the provider's name "Megumi." The second half, the "poid", is short for "like Vocaloid," the full implied name of this product is a "Megumi-like Vocaloid." Marketing Gumi originally did not have much marketing, but has since gained enough popularity for further possibilities. She is Internet co, Ltd's most successful Vocaloid and since the launch of Vocaloid 3, has seen a increase in merchandise.
Originally, Gumi songs were not allowed to be sold on Karen-T, this was later changed and INTERNET Co., gave permission for both her and Gakupo in 2009.
Her English version is aimed more at the English speaking market. This is the first actual English capable vocal to be purchasable from the Vocaloid shop itself, as well as the the developer's own website. Her vocal can be bought by anyone in the USA or the UK, however other English speaking countries still cannot purchase it directly. Popularity Gumi has seen a faster growth of usage within the Japanese fandom, gaining popularity faster than her predecessor Gakupo. She has quickly become a fan favorite in both Japanese and Western fandoms and arguably has been the most commonly used non-Crypton Future Media Vocaloid.
By 2010, Gumi's popularity was on par with Crypton Future Media's voicebanks and had also out sold her predessor Kamui Gakupo, becoming the most popular and well known non-Crypton Vocaloid. In 2011, her usage grew and in a number of weeks she would have even more songs in the top 100 rankings then some of the Crypton Future Media Vocaloids.
In 2011 a independent report was made into the popularity of Vocaloid and revealed that most Vocaloids had less then 1,000 videos uploaded to Nico Nico Douga in between July 1 and December 15, 2011. Gumi had managed to succeed in grabbing more attention then most Vocaloid, and at 2,107 uploads, had the third highest video upload count relating to a Vocaloid. At 9,538,464 views and 929,810 Mylists, Gumi was the Vocaloid to receive the second highest number of views overall. Based on average views, she managed to come out on top with 4,527.04 views (and 441.3 mylists) on average per video. When the mean count was performed on the Vocaloid results, Gumi remained on top with 485 views and 34 mylists per video, and was the only one besides the Kagamine's to successfully be on all lists performed in the report.
