Taiyoukei Erika (太陽系エリカ, Taiyoukei Erika),[1] a virtual singer from the UTAU community, known for her unique appearance and two-sided personality, shown in both her voice and design. She has long silver hair in twin braids and bright teal, droopy-shaped eyes. Erika usually wears a sleeveless black cropped top with a semicircle cutout, black shorts with gold and brown details, and a black tie. She also wears knee-high stockings, thigh-high brown boots, and sometimes a blue and gold cape hanging from her belt. This look highlights both the soft, cute side and the harder, rock-inspired side of her character. Erika loves Ramune soda, starfish, and storms, but dislikes being neglected.
Erika's voice was created by talking vocal samples from music producer Applesauce666.
Additional software
[edit]Erika was originally not intended to have a soft voicebank, as her character was designed with a more edgy and bold aesthetic in mind. However, as the development process unfolded, the creator of Taiyoukei felt that her initial voice did not fully align with the multifaceted nature of the character. To better capture Erika’s softer, more delicate side, the creator decided to introduce a soft voicebank, allowing her to express a wider range of emotions and better reflect the duality of her personality, both cute and calm, as well as strong and bold.
In addition to her voicebanks, Applesauce666 contributed to Erika’s development by creating a MikuMikuDance model. This model allows users to animate Erika in 3D, bringing her to life visually alongside her vocal performances. By providing both voicebanks and a MMD model, fans have the tools to fully engage with Erika’s character, whether through music, animation, or fan content. This collaboration between voice and visuals further cemented Erika’s appeal within the UTAU community, giving users the ability to explore the full range of her personality.
Marketing

Characteristics
[edit]According to Applesauce666, Erika reflects a complex and multifaceted persona that blends both soft and edgy traits. Her appearance features long silver hair styled in twin plaits and droopy, bright teal eyes, giving her a gentle, almost melancholic expression. Erika’s design incorporates a duality, with her clothing and overall aesthetic highlighting both her "default" soft side and her "rock" side. She wears a sleeveless black cropped top with a semicircle cutout, paired with shorts and thigh-high boots, creating a bold, confident look, while her softer side is expressed through her voice, which can be cute and calming.
This duality extends to her personality and interests. Erika enjoys Ramune soda, starfish, and storms, reflecting her connection to both sweet and intense experiences. However, she strongly dislikes being neglected, hinting at her desire for attention and care. Erika’s ability to embody contrasting traits makes her a versatile virtual singer, appealing to fans who appreciate her depth and complexity.
