User blog comment:Serza5/Vocaloid - Not enough experimental Vocals?/@comment-53539-20140805145345/@comment-3076833-20140805165424

My point of this blog is not so much to condem the fact that "ugh, we need more male vocals" but more along the lines of "this trend of females are better than males is going to break fairly soon, I beleive".

You've said yourself that Oliver is a break through in English vocals and that KAITO is doing much better than what MEIKO's doing, proof enough that there's already a shift in the change (while not of a large degree but it exists so it's worth pointing out). Right enough in both cases it mostly boils down to luck but it could be argued that this is the main reason why Miku has done so well.

I'm also going to bring up the fact again that a fair number of female vocals are struggling to make an impact, the only new V3 female vocal to do so being IA. Right enough the likes of VY1 is being used more often than male counterpart VY2 but that's taking away the fact that VY1 is barely popular in the first place. Likewise Miki and Yuki aren't used much, nor are any of the AHS vocals for that matter, with only Yukari having any sort of notable popularity.

I do get the fact that males still aren't doing well for themselves, but with females slowly declining as well maybe it's time for some company to shake things up a bit with something fairly fresh.
