Exactly. There's another reason right there, the FUNDINGS. It's more expensive to update a VOCALOID than to make a new one.

And I just don't like the reasoning behind the Japanese vbs for them. If they were a true fan of them, they probably wouldn't want to change a thing about them, except a better quality vocal. The new language would just be an extra, it's not necessary, you know?
