Because without LEON and LOLA (This could also extend to MIRIAM, MEIKO & KAITO), we wouldn't have Miku, anyways. Let alone Vocaloid at all.

Both Japanese and English were developed at the same time, in fact if you read Vocaloid, CFM were the first company on board. They found Zero-G, who attracted PowerFX. The vocaloids were sold to two different markets and had no success influence on each other until Miku came along. In fact for a few years, the Japanese Vocaloids cause the Engloids to get shunned a little in the fandom and its taken a few years to make a full recovery. Now they are selling a lot better then they used to. :-/

However, Leon and Lola did bring PowerFX along, so they ARE reasonable for every PFX Vocaloid existing.
