Someone on VO had the same hunch as I did, that originally they wanted to make their vocals on piapro only. However, unless there are vocals on Vocaloid, they cannot say"the Vocaloid Miku" so seemingly backed out. This was backed up with a version of the English piapro site wherein the entire CFM cast was introduced as "Piapro characters".

My theory was they were either trying to cheapen the expense of putting in extra vocals or only included HARD, SOFT, etc to make Luka a Vocaloid and may some day abandon Vocaloid altogether. This worried me myself. I know English isn't profitable and they wanted to include English appends...

Either way, CFM hasn't screwed up yet as per say... But they did a Nintendo-style mistake by trying to innovate their characters they may have turned off potential lovers of what could be, certainly. Though part of me wonders if a Luka Append V4 is due later this generation, as they way this is done the door is open.
