Things I want:

1) A better balance between genders

2) More genre specialized VOCALOIDs or more variety of voices types/timbres

3) A better update system and better programming (I know VOCALOID NEO it's totally glitchy)

4) More professional focused voices. I'm pretty split with this one because for the most part yes I do agree with all of this. However that would mean YAMAHA would be super strict on what other companies should do in terms of voicebanks which is the part I don't agree with as such strict policies on voicebanks will most likely steer companies away from producing Vocaloid voicebanks as a whole. In that sense I think this is more an issue for the individual companies over YAMAHA's doing, although there is plenty stuff yamaha should be doing in terms of marketing which especially includes better Western Vocaloid promotion.
