Akari will likely get re-released in V5 with additional vocals, they likely did this intentionally. Yukari also had a similar thing with V3. In this case, while it may have been better to have released her a year ago, I don't think its 100% going to hold her back.

Since they were working on her voiceroid alongside her vocaloid, its likely just this is an overhanging project that is one of those too close to the end of being completed not to release. Considering Vocieroid is very popular in Japan in addition to Vocaloid, I don't see the problem especially as Akari is still being released into the AHS XSY group.

Even if the Vocaloid doesn't get the sales, Voiceroid 2 is still fairly fresh as an engine and she'll be able to benefit from this, further validating any further updates to her in V5.

I think VY2v4 id going to be either an extremely late V4 (its happened before) or just not coming... VY1 is just a lot more popular and VY2 not so much popular. VY1 can reach within the top 10 Vocaloids at times, while VY2 the top 20. Being in the top 10 at times, is overall better then the top 20. Its the curse of being a male Japanese vocaloid who isn't Kaito, Len or Gackpo. :-(

VY1 heads far more products too... Saying that, bare in mind his most recent addition is Vocaloid for Education, meaning he isn't forgotten, just side lined. The other possibility is because he has XSY, they are not rushing to expand him until V5, in which case we may see a VY2v5 instead. Its so hard to know whats going on.

@Pink, I think "'s" doesn't seem right, as normally the cover song in music is "Yesterday as sung by..." sort of introduced and not "...'s cover of Yesterday". Sorry first song that came to mind, since its one of the most covered songs apparently.
