She was released 8 years ago so your a bit late to the guessing game.

Actually it was vocals like VY1 that caused some Vocaloid fans to get picky on those saying "X vocal sounds like y vocal". There was an old theory that she was purposely suppose to sound Miku-ish and a lot of fans back in the day felt she wouldn't sound out of place if you stated she was a Miku Append vocal.

These days, the vocal comparisons is not so dire as now studios have turned around and confirmed that vocals sounding alike is a issue. It was caused by the vocals being recorded for ease of use, in Vocaloid4 many of the newer vocals are recorded using the new style which captures the traits of the vocalist. It makes vocals harder to use/tune but you get more uniqueness, even with similar vocals. The way the newer recorded vocals are, they behave differently to the older style and this is reacted as they go up and down the octaves. Meaning if two vocals who sound alike, say Rion and Nemu for example, they won't sound the same to a tee. Sure, flat out singing straight notes, Rion and Nemu sound similar enough, but if you get a song into them that pushes both to the limits, there will be cracks in their similarities around the edges.
