The first ever full-length VOCALOID demo was released on the CD "HISTORY OF LOGIC SYSTEM." It was a cover of Kato Kazuhiko's "Ano Subarashii Ai wo Mou Ichido" (That Wonderful Love Once More) featuring the prototype voicebanks of MEIKO and KAITO. It was released in July 2003, about one year before MEIKO's release and three years before KAITO's, and about half a year before the first VOCALOID editor was released.

Each of the original VOCALOID vocals was released bundled with the editor. However, this editor only had an English interface; a Japanese translation was never completed. While MEIKO and KAITO still used Japanese phonetics, their usability was limited to users who could work with the English interface.

In a manual for VOCALOID1, there is a screenshot showing three voicebank names: TARO, HANAKO and JODIE. "Taro" and "Hanako" are common, archetypal Japanese given names, and are similar to the English "John Doe" and "Jane Doe"; these are the codenames used for KAITO and MEIKO during development.

JODIE was the codename of Sweet ANN, based on her voice provider's stage name Jody. This screenshot shows that a prototype of Sweet ANN was made for VOCALOID1 and was likely a planned release.

In a VOCALOID2 manual, the voicebank "JODIE2" is listed; this is likely the code name for what would become Sweet ANN's final VOCALOID2 release.

An advertisement for VOCALOID1 and its three other voicebanks at the time was included with MEIKO.

The box shown for MEIKO is simply a white outline with the text "NOW PRINTING," indicating the ad was likely made before her box art was finalized.
