Chika, is a Japanese female vocal for Vocaloid 3. Her vocal is sampled from Chiaki Ito, Japanese model and member of the Japanese pop band AAA. [1]

Development

The vocal itself contains twice the number of phonetic recordings as conventional vocals, resulting in a more natural sounding vocal. This was later confirmed to be caused by the addition of approx 200 triphonemic sounds. [2] Noboru confirmed that she has the most triphones out of their Japanese vocals. She can cover rock songs due to her solid and stable bass. [3]
