YUKI TERAI is a vivacious 17-year-old who lives just outside Tokyo. In most ways she is every bit the typical teen - except she doesn't exist.
The invention of acclaimed computer animator Kenichi Kutsugi, Yuki Terai is Japan's No.1 Virtual Star. Capable of unprecedented life-like expressions and movement, she inhabits many worlds: real-life, science fiction and music. And now she can inhabit yours.
In Secrets, the multi-faceted Yuki is showcased in six irresistible short stories. In Fly Away Alone, she plays a sensuous songbird; Dos/Chin, which also happens to be the name of her mischievous robotic dog, finds Yuki exploring her artistic side; A Life is a meditative piece where Yuki reflects on happier times; in fully-fledged Matrix mode, Comet The Thief stars our idol as a mischievous martial-arts bandit; The Mirror explores the darker side of Yuki as she is mysteriously followed by images of herself that seem to emerge from mirrors; and in Lazy Gui, our scantily-clad heroine embarks on a race against time as her Space Freighter is set for self-destruct.
Includes two awesome bonuses: the music video of Yuki's smash hit, My Dearest You, and the incredible World War II air attack recreation, Project BB-11. Additional extras include The Making Of..., which explains the techniques and tricks used to create the state-of-the-art animation that gives life to this virtual megastar.
Welcome to the worlds of Yuki Terai. Enter.. and your world will never be the same.

Where it came from
Yuki Terai emerged in 2000 as one of Japan's earliest and most recognizable virtual idols. Created by the studio Team TillDawn, she was designed to challenge the boundaries between traditional animation and 3D computer-generated imagery. The project was conceived during a period of rapid technological advancement in digital character design, positioning Yuki as a forward-thinking avatar intended to represent the potential of high-fidelity CG in media.
The character was developed with a meticulous focus on a realistic aesthetic that set her apart from the stylized anime tropes common to the era. As a virtual personality, she was featured in various promotional capacities, including an OVA that showcased her integration into live-action environments. While the project was met with intrigue regarding its technical achievements, it remains a historical touchstone for the early efforts to establish fully realized synthetic performers in popular culture.
