Rin and Len Kagamine

This is another set of well known Vocaloids, Rin and Len Kagamine. The development of the Kagamines started when Crypton formulated the idea of making a pair female and male voicebanks. The first idea was to make two voices of a girl and her mirror image of the opposite gender, like twins. Crypton had the intention to distribute them as twins but this was not fulfilled. After seeing many works that depict their relationships differently, he announced in a magazine interview that those would meet their ideal. However, Crypton's final announcment was that they were neither twins or lovers. During Append Production, Wataru Sasaki described them as having one soul between them. Rin was the first one to be illustrated and Len was made to match her. Their leg features were designed to mimic speakers. Their main design, of which is most noticeable on their boots, uses the YAMAHA EOS as a design base. They are known for having 02 on their left shoulders. Rin's item is a orange, Len's item is a banana, and together their item is a road roller which had been assighned to them by accident on a meme. These two are my most favorite Vocaloids, especially Len-chan. He's such a cute shota boy and oh how I wish he were real. I think Rin-chan is really cute and I love to pair them as twins. I'd rather go for Len x Miku and Rin x Kaito.

Hatsune Miku

This is the well known Hatsune Miku. Crypton had the idea to release Miku as, "An android diva in the near future world where songs are lost." Her name even means sound from the future. Miku-chan was originally intended to have a different hairstyle, but after trying twin-tails, KEI(the illustrator of Miku) thought they suited her best. Her twin-tails even earned her the title of the best twin-tails of the 2000's. The digital design on Miku-chans skirt and boots is based off of synthesizer program colours, and the bars represent actual bars within the program. The thin squares around her twin-tails are futurastic ribbons that float, magically holding the hair in place without touching it. After an internet meme involving Hachune Miku, Miku-chan was associated with a spring onion which is often mistakened as a leek. This, along with KAITO's association with ice cream, started the item war within the Vocaloid fandom where each Vocaloid was paired with a special item. She is known for having the number 01 on her left shoulder and her colour theme is blue/green.
