Considering Akari's been the only native Japanese released this year, she hasn't got much competition overall. These two are the only releases so far this year, she is lucky as it means the odds are in her favour due to the lack of competition. The last Japanese voicebank was Xinhua in fact last September and LUMi just before her in August. So the period of drought and the lack of current releases is good.

Still you can see why some like me believe V5 is on the way because of this drought. I'm concerned because when you don't know when the next engine is due, this can get bad. One of the things that impacts late engine vocals is if the release comes too soon for some, like Chika with Vocaloid4's release. For me, this is the only thing that could spoil the situation she has right now.
