Actually, most Japanese Vocaloid s serve only a few genres as well of music, though can do some similair genres to what they are intended for. When Zero-G says "soul" for example, they mean blue, reggae, RnB, pretty much every genre around that "soul" image. When it boils down to it, Leon and Lola end up with most possiblities then some of the J-loids wee built for.

HOWEVER.

Many P's in Japan have managed to make Miku sing any kind of genre with varying success. Even though Miku herself has only a few genres she is good at (CFM lists just "Pop and Pop dance" as her best genres). If you have the skills pratically any Vocaloid can be forced to sing any style, though tones are impossible to escape (Prima ALWAYS sounds like she is trying to do opera). Its because at the end of the day, they are based on pre-recorded samples.

As for Engloids, Sweet Ann has a varity of usages and the Japanese fandom was quoted as saying (in Japanese) when they first got hold of Big Al; "almost as if he came out of the same factory as Miku...". Because he had a lot of traits about his vocal that made him really versitile. Oliver was originally suppose to be a Zero-G Vocaloids (they had a choir Vocaloid planned) so his the exception for PowerFx's norm. standards.

Zero-G only serves professional producers thus their Vocaloids always have a specific direction to them. some producers prefer them because they know EXACTLY what their going to do and ALWAYS have this quality singing results (even though they aren't ness. quality vocals), in other words you know Prima will always sound like a opera singer.

Zero-G goes for specific Vocaloids for specific jobs, while powerFX Vocaloids tend to be slightly more open to various task.

PowerFX were the smallest studio in vocaloid 2, I doubt thats changed. If not for the lack of funding, we'd prop. see more then 1 vocaloid every 2 years. Sure, their Vocaloids are overall usually better, but its the wait.... :-(

English and Japanese Vocaloids were worked upon at the same time, dspite the differences between proto-type and releases. So CFM and Zero-G most likely started making their Vocaloids at the same time as each other.

Those two proto-type vocals of Meiko and Kaito have some serious pre-vocaloid issues with them. :-/
