Well, 1st Place isn't a strictly VOCALOID company, so it makes sense that they would try to get some of their products into new areas and such. (In fact, they are more of a production/marketing business, as they have a few record labels, IA PROJECT being among them.) In fact, really, the majority of companies that have created VOCALOIDs aren't strictly VOCALOID related, either. So none are confined to only using it as their sole means of making sales.

As for OИE's singing capabilities, they announced during the broadcast she will not initially be able to sing. I'm not sure if they plan on making the singing bank later, but it's something to test the waters with.

(*I'm also trying to get used to putting the backwards N with her name... that's the only way I'm going to remember not to read it as "1" by accident. IA's was more straight-forward for me since they put the katakana beside her name on the official VOCALOID page, but doggone it if I call OИE "one" for the sake of having the word drilled into my brain for almost nine-tenths of my life...)
