History

On October 16, AUDIOLOGIE Co., Ltd. showcased their first English Synthesizer V AI voice database, ANRI, to the public. ANRI made her debut with her first original song "PROGRAMMED 2 LOVE", and information about her character was made available on AUDIOLOGIE's website. She was illustrated by Hieihirai and her concepts were designed by 7mora. Her voice provider was revealed to be kurapichu.

Airi was confirmed to be made available as digital and limited physical copies with an expected release date of December 11. The physical copies also came with a variety of merchandise: an acrylic stand, a metal can badge, a secret acrylic charm, and a rubber strap. VOLOR also announced that bundle packs for Airi, which includes her with the Synthesizer V Studio Pro editor and/or Eleanor Forte AI, as well as a physical add-on, were made available through ANiCUTE. Lite versions were confirmed to be released on December 18.

Regarding further voice databases for Airi, AUDIOLOGIE confirmed that there were no plans for a Standard version, but they planned to make more databases for her in the future with no indication of what these could be.

On October 24, it was confirmed that AUDIOLOGIE opened a Taobao shop which supplied Airi's digital copies.

Marketing

On the day of her reveal, Airi was given a variety of merchandise. Her limited physical copies came with a bonus of an acrylic stand, metal can badge, a secret acrylic charm, and a rubber strap. There were other acrylic keychains, a keychain standee, a pillow with Chachamaru, a wall scroll, and a poster available on the official store as well.

Airi was made available on AUDIOLOGIE's website and VOLOR's ANiCUTE store. For ANiCUTE, she was distributed as bundle packs (either paired with the Synthesizer V Studio Pro editor, Eleanor Forte AI, or both) or add-ons to existing Eleanor Forte AI pre-orders. On VOLOR's banners and tweets, Airi was labelled to be Eleanor's friend, and on one of their store banners, the bundle was called the "Best Friend Bundle Bag", which AUDIOLOGIE also promoted later on Twitter.

Reputation

Reaction

Upon her reveal people speculated that she was derived from a certain leaked and cancelled VOCALOID4. The designs of the characters are nearly identical and both of which share the illustrator Hieihirai, but no one at AUDIOLOGIE or involved with Airi has acknowledged this.
