They are Mandarin Chinese. It's not harder to tune for Mandarin because that's the dialect they're built for. And tone doesn't even matter in singing, just speaking and lyrics. Like if you threw in "tian" in the VOCALOID or UTAU program, it's just the same exact one, no accents or tones or anything.

No, there's not too many Cantonese VOCALOID songs as it's more a pain to make one, sort of. Or they usually don't use it to tell certain stories, like this one, they used Cantonese because the song took place in Guangzhou, a place where Cantonese is kind of common. If anything, Japanese VOCALOIDs can kind of produce better Cantonese since some of the sounds are the same, like the word for "water" sounds the same or similar in Japanese and Cantonese.

Keep in mind that Mandarin is the main dialect of Chinese, so that's what the VOCALOIDs are built for. Not the sub ones, unless there is a sort of demand for it or something... which is kind of unlikely. O_O Shanghai He Nian = Located in Shanghai = Mainly speak Mandarin dialect. Taiwan = Mandarin and Mingnan, but mostly Mandarin = Xin Hua having Mandarin dialect. :) Voice providers: Shan Xin, Liu Seira, QI Inory, Gui Shen Ren, and Wang Wenyi = All from a place where Mandarin is used more than the other dialects.
