Ahaha, Way (the entry for the chinese Vocaloid competition you mentioned) was actually designed before Merli was revealed, so copying would have been impossible. c;

By the way, where does SeeU come into this? You're going to have to elaborate that connection for me. orz

Now the waist speakers and Yukari, that's a possibility but not a big deal. It may hurt the design if it doesn't stand out enough, but it's not enough to cause copyright issues. We already had Miku Append with the waist speakers too, which if anything would have had more influence on Way than Yukari.

Although this may confuse me after the above paragraphs, I do actually dislike Way's design quite a bit. Beneath the high quality art, she is little more than a cookie cutter Vocaloid outfit with added butterflies. Her outfit is not just average for Vocaloid, but average for animesque girl designs in all media. She brings to mind fancharacters rather than a whole new Vocaloid. If Miku modules (outfits made for the same character) can use different ideas to each other, why can't an entirely different Vocaloid's design. orz Of course, Way did not win.

Tianyi's original outfit was a little uninspired as well. Of course, you can grow to love both of these outfits for their other reasons, despite being in terms of originality rather at a disadvantage.
