Internet Co., Ltd. (株式会社インターネット? Kabushikigaisha Intānetto), or Internet, is a software company based in Osaka, Japan. It is best known for the music sequencer Singer Song Writer and Niconico Movie Maker for Nico Nico Douga, a video sharing website. It also develops singing synthesizers using the Vocaloid 4 engine developed by Yamaha Corporation. In 2014, they were the second leading company in sound related software in Japan, boasting a 14.0% share of the market.
Internet started their Vocaloid development with the first Vocaloid 2 singing synthesizer Gackpoid on July 31, 2008, whose voice was provided by Japanese international singer Gackt. Gackpoid includes OPUS Express for mixing vocal parts with accompaniment or phoneme data.
The second product, Megpoid, was released on June 25, 2009 and is voiced by Megumi Nakajima. Due to the success of Crypton Future Media's "Append" series, Internet announced they will be working on an updated version of Megpoid called Megpoid Extend in 2011.
