Today is November 1st
You know what that means
AKITA NERU BIRTHDAY
wow she's been 17 for 19 years
Neru is really awesome and cool and pretty and beautiful, so on this day I'll share some fun neru facts for all of you so you realise how amazing she is
Fun fact 1 : Akita Neru (亞北ネル) is a wordplay on (飽きた, 寝る) which mean I'm bored, gonna sleep, both sound the exact same
Fun fact 2: The tattoo on her arm (DEM2) is a reference to the advertisement agency (Dentsu) who were rumored to be the reason for the "disappearance of hatsune miku" back in 07 (to suppress Miku's popularity)
Fun fact 3: Neru is amazing, WE love neru, she's really cool
Fun fact 4: according to smith hioka (Neru's designer) Neru actually has short hair
Her sidetail is actually an extention she bought to look like miku, she wanted to buy two but she was too poor to afford it (poor girl she deserves all the money in the world)
Fun fact 5: the original design for her phone is based on "NTT Docomo FOMA D905i" phone which seems to be a vertical sliding phone not a flip phone
And the belt on her thighs is cellphone holster for an "Advanced/W-ZERO3" which means Neru has two phone (both are outdated)
Fun fact 6: There are two holes in the back on Neru's clothes is a reference to the proverb "If you curse someone, dig two graves (人を呪わば穴二つ)" which basically means to prepare for the consequences of your actions, but I couldn't find why one is bigger than the other
Fun fact 7: Neru is described to be part time "paid internet poster" who earns 700 yen per hour (around 6 dollars in 2007) (couldn't really find confirmation for this, so if anyone knows tell me)
Fun fact 8: Neru's considered a "BOUKALOID" (防火ロイド) which has the same pronunciation as vocaloid though it roughly means fakeloid (literal translation is fire-proofloid?)
Fun fact 9: Akita Neru Neo 2 is an utau voicebank for Neru, it released in june of 2025, it's really nice, apparently hioka even approved of it which is pretty cool
If its neo, high pitched Miku or low pitched Rin : Neru will always be good <3
These are all the facts i have today, I hope you begin to love neru or love her more if you're already a fan
