I would drop the idea of someone else picking him up, Sony doesn't do that.

Also, there are 8 English vocaloid who are the same level as Piko, he is a MQ vocal at best and there are now several males who can do the same roles he did. Yes its a loss, but its not a complete travesty. In comparison to the Engloids, we do not have replacements for Prima, Tonio, Big Al or Sweet Ann. We have several who can replace Sonika, making her not such a big loss and putting her on par with Piko, but the software isn't leaning to the more mature toned vocals right now too often.
