Talk:Merli (VOCALOID3)/@comment-99.184.252.213-20150107054707/@comment-53539-20160106190548

See OP, we had at the time of Merli's release a wave of this kinda of post. People loving Merli for finally being dark skinned, to the point where in some cases it was their ONLY reason they liked her. You know... Sod the voice, she has dark skin!

In a serious note, we've had dark or "black" skin since Leon and Lola, as their providers were "black singers". And the Japanese vocaloids were never pale like "white" or europeon style skin is meant to be, their were pale Japanese skinned singers. Its quite common for people to forget that the characters in anime are meant to be Japanese most of the time and not representative of the rest of the world. :-/
