I ended up ranting on Facebook about this.

"So, Crypton is releasing Luka the day after Yukari

Douche move since Yukari is just starting to get more popular to qualify a decent fight against Big 8 VOCALOIDs, so this is a hit or miss for her.

Unless of course, there's a small chance of her flopping and Crypton pulled a move that was supposed to steal Yukari's sales into hurting their own product. Either way, Crypton just gained another reason why they're one of my least favorite companies. I get people will buy Luka regardless because she's a waifu to handful, but I'm siding with Yukari. Sorry, let someone new shine for once. Yukari deserved the popularity she earned and it's a shit move to take it all for someone who is all ready super popular."
