Trivia
There are at least two ways to read her sub-title of "Aria of the planetes";

• In her subtitle of "ARIA ON THE PLANETES" the words "Aria" and "Planetes" are latin for "open space" and "planet" giving the translation of "Open Space of the planet".
• "Aria", is also the Italian word for "air" and was used as a term in opera for expressive pieces usually sung by a single singer.

Marketing
Information is being released much slower. Her promotions have taken the approach to make her seem more outterworldly and mysterious.

Usage for Music
From the demo, she has a light toned voice that is soft and relatively clear. Her voice is similar to her provider's vocals, making her one of the more realistic Vocaloids. Some experienced users report in her demo she sounds flat and is badly tuned with a poor mid-range. Her high notes are also slightly muffled and unclear. However, as this is a beta demo there is still room for improvement.
