It's possible they will pull an ARSLOID and release them after the fandom express desire for it. I asked a bunch of people on QQ about it and they all were like "we don't care because we refuse to acknowledge them as vocaloids" they be savage Wow, harsh! Now is that because they're private, or because Ren Li's involved? Cause I can kinda see where they're coming from either way...

I still don't understand why companies bother with private Vocaloids, outside of cases like hide or Ueki-loid. A big part of what made Vocaloid so popular was that anyone could use it and make their own content (provided they can afford it of course). And yeah I guess there are people who don't care about that and are just into the "virtual celebrity" aspect, but let's not pretend that those people care about anyone besides the Cryptonloids, or Vsinger on the Chinese-speaking side of things. You think anyone cares about Akikoloid or Anri Rune? They didn't care about them being private because of Ren Li
