"understanding" what a vocaloid says because its hard to hear and "better" is two different things, despite being hard to hear her english vocal has all the sounds to sing in english. Half the trouble is Luka is a weak bank, she is soft and is hard to hear, she is still better then any Japanese voicebank singing in English at English with her english voicebank. No Japanese voicebank, not even Luka's own, has the ability to mimick the english language as good as any English vocaloid, not even SeeU and her handful of random english sounds.

And clarity is a producer related problem, not a vocaloids, sure some vocaloids are mumbly and quiet, but thats still up to the produce to make the most of things.

Ask Adept-x to explain this, for I can only explain this so far.

Thats like saying Big Al can do better Spanish then Bruno or Clara, or even Miku's bettr at spanish. Sure their close in certain Japanese vocaloid cases, but its no subitute for the real spanish built Vocaloids and its when you put the two side by side it noitces. You can get close to the sounds, but nothing I've heard from a vocaloid singing a language it wasn't built for, sounds as good as the vocals built for that language, not without some textra help to make sounds sound closer, like the aid of another piece of software. Even when it sounds close to the intended language, the more you push the voclaoid the more it fluffs up.

So "understandable" is not the sign of a bad attempt at english, its just down to lack of skill.
