just as much as saying there are no stars visible when it is day time

Just noting they are still there, you can "see" them, it just their over powered by the brighter sunlight so appear invisible to our eyes.

sorry, just had to point this out... Its like people who say "thunder only happens when its raining", which is also not true or "lighting doesn't strike twice".

On the subject of all 5 languages, well... My only concern is length of development time. Macne Nana got set back a year and a half because of English inclusion. Even if the studio is working on all 5 at once equally, the other issues include making sure all 5 language match in tone, as well as other issues. You also need to consider, to make the best match with the pronunciations, the speakers need to know all 5 languages or at least have linguistics lessons to get the best out of the vocalist.

Things that, sadly, many UTAU users who make multiple lingual VBs don't consider about their vocals and you end up with a vocal that can have very different tones.

Basically, the reason why we've only had bilinguals so far, with SeeU English collapsing completely in production... Is it is difficult right now just to do two. And with each vocal the cost of the vb goes up, and the profit goes down... If you think making a English vocal is low profit, this one has a lot of potential to be very low profit.

Its possible, but complex. Recently we were told the trouble is if we have too many samples in a single voicebank, Vocaloid can't handle it. On the other hand... Not enough proves too LQ. I fear that working on a Vocaloid with 5 vocals at once, would result in corners being cut. :-/
