So some word has come in about the Chineses fandom's reaction. Unfortunately, it appears to be much the same as the West, with an added sadness towards the continued lack of male CHN Vocaloids. While I think there is definitely an imminent need to release a male Mandarin voicebank, I gave Xing a free pass because she is the first V4, where there is not female competition for her yet.

I do think the Chinese companies would be insane to release another female after Xing, though. At this point a male would probably be less risky than a female voice, due to having no competition in the market.
