@Eevee; I honestly don't expect even veterans to memorize every Vocaloid and its release date... Thats why this wikia exists... We "memorize" it for them. :-D

I don't know why anyone would say the Japanese vocaloids are better then others. The other languages in the world have merits. E.g. (since I know this off the top of my head from the V2 era), English language has much greater phonetic array and Japanese has limited phonetics, but the phonetics are precise and accurate to the sound.

You can't say one language is superior to another, because there are disadvantages and advantages to all of them, and while the English ones need some tuning still, they've been on hold since 2007 since the Japanese Vocaloids took off suddenly without warning leaving them behind. :-/

But back in the V1 era, there is overall per vocal very little difference in quality and both Japanese and English vocals as as many flaws per inch of samples as each other. And when it comes to the crunch, Miku isn't a realistic singer, whereas Sweet Ann was meant to be, and despite both vocals flaws Ann was the overall better vocal then Miku. But Miku was simple to use...

Then again, how many folks who "love and adore" Miku and the other CFM vocaloids actually don't knowledge when they claim that they sound more realistic that the point of all the 4 CV vocals was their weren't realistic... Their Character Vocals... They were meant to follow a direction such as "cute", "moody", "contrasting". :-/
