^Unfortunately, this is an issue that struck the Ring and Lui group too. It is unprofessional to promise something and then back out of it, as it creates a PR nightmare for a company.

This is also why normally a lot of business are reluctant to give out information and in some cases, supplying info without permission is considered a reason for firing the person behind the leak. This is for legal reasons as well as hype reasons... You can actually be fined or sued for false information if your not careful as its considered an attempt to mislead. :-/

This is why you kinda ended up disappointing everyone and came off as unprofessional, its not you made a mistake, you made it and ended up disappointing people. When disappointment happens, this often harder to shake off because it is a issue of "trust" or "faith" in you and its something I've kinda seen before, even as recently as Greenlight games on Steam. Hell, even big companies can loose faith from their consumers... See Coka Cola and their "Dasani" product in the UK.

I'm sorry this is happening and maybe some of us such as myself aren't helping. Unfortunately, rumours and speculation get spawned because people want to get blood for their pain. Even I'm likely guilty of this by now, but not via making stuff up but by repeating these. And believe me, within this fandom it doesn't take long for hearsay to become taken as gospel. :-/

All I'm going to say on the matter is, that perhaps next time don't announce anything at all until you are in a position to have solid things behind it. So saying you were going to make a French vocaloid a year before it was going to happen, then announcing Alys and calling Alys a vocaloid, running promo stuff... Somewhere along the lines, you should have held things back, at least not have gone and called Alys a vocaloid until you were ready to call her a Vocaloid. Hell, we should have had a image or name until the vocal was halfway through production... Which is basically the mistake Ring and Lui had done with them and why its now hard for some to let the pair go.
