A comment-er on the vocaloid.blog states sales of the program Vocaloid by English speaking fans are low compared to Japanese. And while s/he makes some good points, the obvious being that the fanbase for English is largely young adults and teens. And also Japanese characters being viewed for a child demographics by default (I guess). The situation with low sales is similar to the previous Vocaloid 2s and 3s Japanese voice banks. The advantage with CFM is otaku. These can be a dependable group of (mainly) men who don't mind spending money on merchandise and the Vocaloid program itself.

And when it comes to promoting anything in America it is tricky, and the most obvious way to promote an overseas act are large cities and using word of mouth. If you don't stay on top and offer reasons why what your promoting is good, then you will be lost. If their focus with this is starting with Asian communities in America, then it might build a decent platform. But they will still be with the anime-fan crowd, rather than the Western producer crowd.
