No, its been expecting for a while CFM was slowly departing from Vocaloid.

There was the introduction of Piapro Studio and ceasing of distribution of Miku with Vocaloid included... Trademarking of the CFM names... And CFM has been starting since V3 to use "Vocaloid" less and less. In a way you can also include the introduce of EVEC as an ideas testing ground for synth.

Her departure is troublesome as we risk loosing 20,000-40,000 Japanese producers. But it may at last give some other Vocaloids a chance. Who knows.

You can import the vocals from V3 and V4 into V5... One thing to note is not much has changed since V3 in terms of Vocaloid Japanese voicebanks. Their almost the same expect the new recording style Internet introduced in V4. In a way, Vocaloid is basically a dead end until major changes to the way voicebanks are handled.
