In October 2013, Luka's Vocaloid2 software disappeared off the top 10 products charts as the Hatsune Miku V3 and its bundle package disrupted the chart rankings. In 2010, Luka was ranked as the 3rd most popular VOCALOID product they sold. Luka can be heard in the original musical score "Arisen Anew" from a Homestuck album called AlterniaBound.Though the romanized version of the word could be either, the English version has been confirmed as "Luka" and since there is no dubbed version to content with, this remains the only official name in existence for the VOCALOID. Some call her "Ruka" or "Luca", however this is incorrect.

Her codename of "CV03" means "Character Voice 03".Īccording to KEI, who was asked to illustrate her by Crypton, due to her bilingual software her design was made to be asymmetrical, so from different angles she would look different. Her surname combines Meguri (巡, circulate or around) and Ne (音, sound), while the name Luka invokes the Japanese homonyms "nagare" (流, flow) and "ka" (歌, song) or "ka" (香, scent), thus making: "songs to all around the world as scent spreads." Luka's original concept was that of a bilingual VOCALOID and according to Crypton Future Media, Luka was originally going to be called " Hatsune Miku", prior to the change of concept plans for the Character Vocal series.
