She does sound a lot like Gumi though...she has the same vocal type and almost identical range as her. But Chika's not as raspy as Gumi in terms of timbre, and she has a powerscale/kire type quality to her voice so she's not too similar to Gumi. The reason not a lot of people are using her is because there's really no point to choosing to buy her instead of Gumi. Gumi's voicebanks are more extensive, and Chika has only one voicebank that doesn't offer anything new other than more triphones. If maybe Chika had growl, a secondary voicebank, and was released as a V4 she would probably be more popular. It doesn't really matter that she sounds nice when most of the others also do (though this is subjective) and Gumi can sing a wider variety of songs due to having more voicebanks.
