I would more lean on sandbox for VOCALOIDs coming from new companies. I mean, surely if they have Yamaha plastered on the page somewhere, it should be okay? Unless, they basically just take the logo, slap it on there to try to trick people into thinking a character is a VOCALOID. But as soon as Yamaha announced Rana's existence on Facebook, then she was deemed official and could have her page open for the more public.

Ling was done due to the fear of mistranslation, despite being from a company that already had two VOCALOIDs.
