A few hours ago, while one of their live events, dubbed EXIT TUNES ACADEMY, was in session, EXIT TUNES announced their own VOCALOID character, MAYU. The official Twitter account for the event also linked to the official homepage, which currently only has a character image as well as usage guidelines. No information is available about who is going to voice her. There is also an official Twitter account associated with this project, @exittunesstaff. As for the usage guidelines, individuals and doujin circles can, without prior approval from EXIT TUNES, freely use the name MAYU, illustrations based on the character design as well as her voice created through the software as long as distribution is limited in scope or is one of the “noted distribution methods”, regardless of whether money changes hands in doing so or not. Furthermore, commercial entities can freely use the voice without prior approval from EXIT TUNES. However, the official logo and illustration is not included in this license. The noted list of ways one could use the character consists of: decal cars (itasha), playing cards, candy, key chains, plastic protectors, cases, games, cosplay clothing, cosplay photographs, coasters, stickers, (cell-phone, etc.) straps, towels, tumblers, leaflets, T-shirts, doujinshi, stuffed toys, computers, music sheets, figures, hats, posters, mice (the electronic kind), mouse pads, mugs, robots, CDs, DVDs, augmented reality, virtual reality, and MikuMikuDance models.

You can see her better here, or in the spoilers below:

Notice, it DOES say VOCALOID 3 in the top right hand corner.

Notes about her appearance:

• Her hat has a vinyl/speaker attatched
  
• Her earings appear to be styled like the Blutooth headsets (Best way to describe it)
  
• Her hair itself fades from simple blonde to rainbow
  
• The buttons on her dress are amplifier buttons/knobs
  
• The bottom of her dress is clearly a keyboard
  
• The rabbit doll (Animaloid?) she holds has a microphone at the top of it's head, indicating this'll be her character item? (Miku has leek/welsh onion etc.)
  
• She appears to be holding an axe...
  
• Her shoes have neon lighting flowing through them

*facepalm* you mean a vinyl?

But atm, i'm really not that interested... It looks like she's gonna have another cutesymoekawaiidesu<3 voice, which frankly i'm tired of. But I'll wait until a voice sample before I really decide how much i care. I really like the design though.

[Miumau]

So would she ba a new Vocaloid?
Anyway..
Her hair <3 Gosh, really those rainbow colors...
Her eyes <3 The color reminds me of a cat
Her dress <3 Especially the keyboard
Her bunny <3 It has a hat! *edit* ops it's a microphone? Well, that's a funny idea xD
But another bunny-girl? I mean Yukari is already so..
BUT SHE IS LOLITA!!!!

BTW, it would be great if someone could translate this. It was in her website

YES.
Sorry, I'm not fully awake yet.
That is what I mean.
/edits.

[Maple]

She's in gothic lolita with grey hair and she's yandere, due to the fact that she's holding an axe behind her back...

phew, ok. As long as you didn't actually think it was a CD, cuz then i would've been really worried.

[Valkyrja]

Oh she's really cute! And that bunny... Her and Yukari would look adorable together.

[Cluemily]

Well, that's the axe explained.
Not too fond of this because gradient hair to another gradient? Though I do like gothic lolita.
Just it needs more frill until it's covered in it. A lot more frill until it's nothing but gorgeous frills.
Though I hope for a medium-tone voice. Not too cute, nor too mature. Just right.
