Silhouettes of the AH-Software VOCALOIDs were revealed on a poster on November 6, 2014, but it was unconfirmed what they were for at the time. On November 20, it was confirmed in the livestream for Vocaloid 4 that they all, with the exception of Tohoku Zunko, would receive Vocaloid 4 updates. It was later confirmed that due to Yuki's original voice provider maturing, possible growl samples would be recorded from a new voice provider. On September 30, Yuki was confirmed to only receive a Natural voicebank, which could be purchased on its own or in a starter package. Her release date was announced to be October 29, 2015.In an interview, Tomohide Ogata expressed a desire to produce English versions of their Vocals, however, the project is too complex. He went on to explain that because all of their providers are Japanese, they would rather seek English speakers of a similar voice to the Japanese versions from the United States and United Kingdom.
On August 23, 2016, 'Song Love Snow' is a Vocaloid voice library released as an in app purchase project for Mobile Vocaloid Editor.
