I was busy today but now I have time to write.

And I was kinda confused but now I cleared my mind. I'm picky about Len. I can count him as a favorite only when he's used in a low range. Example : Giga-P is really good at tuning, I won't say otherwise, but his Len is too high for me. And he doesn't sound like a teenage boy at all. He sounds way too young or feminine (to me at least). It's not that I can't listen to his songs, it's just not to my taste.

And about him sounding feminine or not, it depends of the tuning. Nem's Len or Hitoshizuku-P's don't sound feminine to me (even if Hitoshizuku can make him hit high notes), while Giga-P's do. There again I mean overall, and I agree that he doesn't sound like the "others" male VOCALOIDs since he is voiced by a female.

About whether or not counting him as a male VOCALOID, I personally count him as one because it's what his meant to be, but I take him apart too since he doesn't have a male voice provider. I totally understand why you count him as a female vocal, though.

I hope I don't sound too stubborn.

Len's best range is in the high range, this is what "optimum range" indicates. So he doesn't sound so well down low.

Interestingly enough, pre-puberty boys and girls sound almost alike, see Oliver who many felt was "feminine" despite his provider being confirmed "male". Its media that makes us think "boys must sound like boys and girls must sound like girls". see cartoons... Boys at 8 years old, an age where male and female are almost impossible to tell apart definitely by voice, are clearly "male" and "female" when portrayed by voice actors.
