Lately it seems like they're starting to hire lesser-known singers or fresh faces to provide samples for a VOCALOID. Does anyone remember when they were going to make a VOCALOID-flex voicebank out Eriko? They ended up dropping the project since Eriko was already on tour for THE iDOLM@STER 4th Anniversary and because she only did two well-known roles (Haruka from THE iDOLM@STER & Belgium from Hetalia)

And the bilingual VOCALOIDs thing started with Crypton's Luka, but it's only because Crypton want to start appealing to the fans by updating their VOCALOIDs by making them include English voicebanks & Appends
