So we shouldn't be shocked if English was produced for her and they did that again.

Its not a shocker it happened in Japanese... As I said to someone, knowing its not going to be an exact match is expected. Its unlikely to, however, be overall voice changing. The odd sample here and there to correct pronunciation barely notices since 40% of a voicebank makes up the overall sound. According to Miku English develop, at 60% you have all the pronunciations… The remaining 40% is quality and smoothness. Inshort, you'd likely not even notice. This is why we can say what we did about it on the Japanese voicebank, because its true and you won't get the exact sound, but its not a major problem that will break the voice... It will just be the odd sound here and there.

Wouldn't be either the first studio to do it... There is a theory that Luka got used for the Kagamines' English vocals, this is noticed at VO forums. Some others dismissed it, but CFM is known to cheat. In fact... Its pretty common for studios to take samples from elsewhere (existing recordings for the provider elsewhere or a similar source) to the point it was notable when LUMi declared this hadn't happened at all. Her voicebanks samples were only for the voicebank. CFM is one studio we know at least cheats. The fact others do means when you learn of such cheating, you really shouldn't be surprised at all.
