I have to disagree with the "using phonetics familiar to the user".... People were using Japanese vocaloids for English in V2's era, not because it was easier for them but just because they would prefer to use Miku over Ann. Which leads to my other comment; they were prepared to learn an entirely new phonetic system just to have Miku sing a song... Ergo, I see logic in using Maika for English is one is familiar for spanish, but if she had an actual English vocal that wouldn't stop English speakers using her for English. Nor will it halt claims of "Spanish Maika being better at English then English Vocaloids", because hey it never stopped English Miku entirely. :-D

Ironically in regards to English Miku, I expect more of the reason for some to continue to use Miku Japanese for English to be about the change of tone; but the thing they fix on is how English Miku Englishes... So they use Japanese Miku for English still in some cases because English Miku can't English well... Yet Japanese Miku Englishes worst... :-/

If someone likes a vocal, they'll learn how to use it regardless of Language barrier.

As I said, in the situation with Wat mentioning that even Wat acknowledges that a HQ English can only come from a English built vocal library, is that it doesn't seem to change the opinions of some. Sorry Adapt, I just have experience too much BS from the fandom. It makes the situation with the professional producers worst because their the ones who often speak more logic, yet the fandom goes against them.

Its like when a non-Japanese person at VO comments about Japanese vocaloids, I tend to take their comments with a pinch of salt sometimes because 9/10 of the time ti turns out they got something wrong. I saw plenty comment on Lily's consonants, but not on her pitching issue, for example. Yet it existed. I kinda think if VY1 and VY2 weren't sold as HQ vocals... No one would even know their quality.

The whole situation spoils bonuses like Maika's phonetics... :-/
