What I meant was... There's no Chinese male vocaloids yet, that's why they use Yanhe as a boy for love songs and such. In China most people know that Yanhe is a girl, but since there are no better substitudes for a boy character (needed for some love songs) Yanhe's always used instead. And when Yanhe's demo came out there were a lot of people saying "this voice is more boyish than mine"(as in those people being males). A lot of times her actual voice gets tuned into a boyish-er voice, and some other times her voice gets tuned to make it more girlish so it doesn't sound odd(when used in a very girly song). Her appearance - at least the official version doesn't look like a boy more than a girl (I think?), but in songs where she plays as a boy the illustrations show her as a boy. We have Longya coming out soon(actually he might not... he was supposed to come out this summer, but Henian had been dealing with "things") and when he does, there'll be tons of LongYan ship songs where Yanhe will most definitely be a girl.
