Yamaha also has branches. All comply with the mother company, but are focused on different markets and have slightly different approaches. It allows Yamaha to work by essentially having a dozen sets of hands doing a dozen different things.

So its not safe to presume what goes on in one branch will mean another will comply, they have different goals and reasons for doing what they do. Hell they don't always handle the same properties, products and services.

I imagine, quite honestly, that Bplats role in her original chinese development was just to oversea how things went and establish things so another could take over. Which is what happened.

The thing is with Japan is once its cornered its own market, it has to look to other markets to expand itself. The two BIGGEST markets it can then go to are China and America, while its nearest market is Korea, and its why many Japanese businesses focus on Korea also next. This is why the current 4 of the 5 languages Vocaloid is tossing out vocals for are the 5 most logical, and Spanish is more or less a result of Vocaloid being core-developed in Spain.

But each market works differently and this goes back to why Yamaha as branches and why Bplats would need to oversea development.

So in addition to all the things eevee is saying, consider that there may have been no intention to release the Japanese voice. Macne Nana also gives us an example of a chinese vocal being produced that has never been released. In short, we've only seen a small fraction of the number of voices that have been developed be released for sale. CFM alone has Project if.... If one voicebank doesn't get released, so be it. You have about 100 voices to choose from at this point in time.
