Crypton Also ran a contest involving Kagamine Len Append, where the winner recieved exclusive information on Kaito's update.

Kaito's Whisper voicebank went through many processes even before it was completed, and adjustments were constantly being made to improve it.

Later tweets note that the differences between Kaito's approach to the additional voices they are working on produce too different results ot the Miku and Kagamine Appends and Wat questioned if "Append" was the right term for it. For Miku and the Kagamine's, the extra vocals were done as if a series of colours to give expression to her vocal performance, but Kaito's new vocals are focused on being a complete update from his Vocaloid era. Therefore, they were natural singing tones rather then vocal expression. They are also still in the process of making him sound more masculine.

Crypton initially reacted to the possibility of an English voicebank, however they have reported it as "complicated". Nevertheless, they are reported to be testing and will be releasing a Kaito Append song into America to see the reaction. They have noted that they feel females will sell better than male voicebanks.

This wasn't referenced, I'll search for the references for this stuff over the course of tomorrow.
