MEIKO TRIVIA


  • A Japanese electropop-artist Susumu Hirasawa announced that he used a female vocaloid in the original soundtrack of "Paprika" by Satoshi Kon on his blog. Since Susumu Hirasawa did not reveal which Vocaloid he used for a quite some time, except the fact it was a female vocaloid, many fans speculated it was Meiko. However, later he mentioned in a magazine interview that it was Lola.[12]
  • Meiko and Kaito are often referred to as "Nenchou-gumi" (年長組, The Seniors) compared to Vocaloid 2.[13]
  • One Cup Ozeki (a sake widely available through vending machines) often serves as her character item in some videos.
  • Because Meiko's boxart hides the front of her jacket, it is difficult to tell what design she has and the result is even in official artwork, there is variation.[14]
  • Her age was never given. In Maker Hikōshiki Hatsune Mix she is usually portrayed as a middle aged woman by KEI, however, as he mentioned in a magazine interview, what he depicts in the comic is not official settings.[15]
  • In Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Meiko look-a-likes are seen in the waiting queue during the auditions of the role of Meru Meru, however they do not have Meiko's known colours. Miku (though played by Fujita Saki) is also seen actually speaking in the auditions themselves.[16][17]
  • It is unknown how many units were sold, but as Kaito was the only commercial Vocaloid failure reported, it is safe to say she sold at least 1,000 units.[18]
