User blog comment:Bunai82/0January-12-13 - Either I'm losing interest or feeling overwhelmed Japanese Vocaloids/@comment-1523675-20130228061209/@comment-53539-20130228162319

I know that Yamaha was not the ones who contributed towards Japans Vocaloid success. I stated that in the west Yamaha's website was the only information source that the west had with the language barrier in place and the fact it was out of date and we had nothing else was one of our problems. Its not big enough to worry about, but English vocaloid was late to take on regardless and a lack of common resources on vocaloid and how to use the software wasn't as ready to use.

From what Zero-G has stated, they cannot do much advertisement on their budgets nor does their company have any business or interest in doing things like CFM are doing with their vocaloids. Their priory is on other software. PowerFX had no money for it either and lacking resources can't do much either.

I don't know what much to say beyond that. These things are slowly fixing themselves over time, we're getting more information as time goes by and therefore within the next few years I doubt this will be a problem anymore. The remaining problem will be the fans themselves whose mindsets are bent against loving anything else not Japanese vocaloids. I'd like at least to convince them there is room in their hearts for all vocaloids, even if they don't necessary like them. As I said to someone on Kaito's page, the release of English Kaito does not mean that someone has to stop loving Big Al, Oliver, Tonio, etc.

If newer releases were a prevention of loving past ones, then there would have been no hope for vocaloids like Kaito in the first place, and Miku would already have lost her popularity to every new V3 vocaloid. Sometimes I wonder why people make up excuses like this therefore... :-/
