I think one of the problems with the whole concept was also displayed with Macne Nana. People got so used to calling Nana a "UTAUloid" (which was wrong until her second update occurred) that it was hard on her.


 * 1) people didn't always believe it at first and it proved problematic to get people on board.
 * 2) Unlike a new character, people knew Nana and what she was about. Ergo, if you weren't a Nana fan before, you were already put off her as a vocaloid 9 times out of ten.
 * 3) People had gotten used to her original vocal converted into UTAU and didn't want/expect a high pitch vocal - despite her original vocal in G.Band and Reason was high pitched. So those a fan of her from the past wanted something really close to what they had already, which was a lower pitched vocal then they got.

This all basically missed out that Nana waas actually a decent quality vocal in itself. I mean if you base it on amateur versus professional, hey, Miku herself is actually a worst singer in V2 then Nana when it boils down to it. And plus, with Nana we had a brand new English vocal to boot that no one expected to happen and we basically ended up with double the amount of english vocals in V3 as to any other past version. On that much, I'm not mad nor disappointed. :-/

I will say I don't see Teto as having quite the level of problems. She is more famous then Nana and has more fans. There are plenty of fans who want her as a vocaloid, or believe she is one already (no comment) that her becoming a vocaloid might get more mixed results in favour of both sides, rather then "meh" on both sides like Nana got.
