Just a note guys, if her vocals go over to Synth V, then she will have to leave Vocaloid. I already discussed the implications of this. Long story short, Yamaha doesn't allow you to have a voicebank on another software if they own the copyright on Vocaloid already. The reason IA was able to do this is because its only the talk and English vocal on there, likewise the voiceroids are talk vocals not singing. Nana, Dex, Daina and Ruby had to retire their previous versions before releasing as Vocaloids. For all of them that was UTAU voicebanks, for Nana it also meant her G.Band versions. I may write up something about this on CC page this week.

Due to some issues we shall not discuss here from the group behind her, it could be that the group may just try and getaway with it. we should not react as this would be up to Yamaha to react not us, all reacting fans ever do in this fandom is make things worst or misinterpret things like they did with Ruby and PowerFX. But if it happens, at the very least we should expect this to be the end of sales of her Chinese vocal, at the very least it means she will never release again on VOCALOID. The Chinese Vocaloids aren't our domain, just as the Japanese ones aren't, so we have no reason to react. And quite frank... I don't think many weaboo western fans care about any version outside of Japanese and the odd occasionally English one. So stuff like this tends to not have many reactions. =_=

Thinking about the whole situation, I wonder if their want to move to Synth V is to save money? Of the 3 software, we yet to know much information on this one such as licensing. Yamaha and Sony charge quite a bit, with Sony actually charging apparently more to go onto CeVIO.
