Being voiced by a popular utaite could definitely be an asset to a Vocaloid, but it can be scuppered by the company. Utaite could likely create some very unique vocals considering a lot of them, such as 96neko and viptenchou, are loved because of the uniqueness of their voices It would be awesome to have some Vocaloid voiced by Utaite, left unchanged. (As... much as the company would allow.) If they have fans already it could help market appeal, plus it'd be interesting because most are voiced by voice actors/professional singers currently. I wonder if it'd bring a more unique feel to the Vocaloid they'd voice.
