However, unlike VY1, VY2 is often added as an additional vocal or an alternative one and has yet to head a product using their vocals.

While VY1 had a standard and Deluxe edition, VY2 did not offer such a choice nor did it have a CD released for it.ĭue to the professional design of VY2, the vocal often appears in use for apps and equipment that involves derivative products produced by YAMAHA, either on its own or with VY1.

Thus, opting for the Wakizashi made the VOCALOID's appearance ambiguous. However, it was felt that these items were too personal and would only end up portraying too much of a design concept. VY2 was originally going to have other items for its boxart such as clothing. The Wakizashi was by Nagimiso, the illustration on the inside sleeve was by Kazeno, which was Japanese and SF styled with Tenshukaku (天守閣, Japanese castle tower) and two moons. Nagimiso (なぎみそ) and Kazeno (風乃) undertook the illustration for VY2's package. As with VY1 and its codename of "Mizki", "Yuma" is often used as the name of the VOCALOID or mascot by fans, usually done in error. The code name used for the original VY2 package, 勇馬 ("Yūma" Yuuma), means "Brave Horse".
