Actually she has only the phonetics for Japanese, everything else is done through painstaking phonetic manipulation.

For example "Za" is often used because the Japanese vocaloids don't have the ability to get closer to "the". Their missing the "th" sound and the "e" sound, as well as the "th-e" diaphonetic and possibly a triphonetic for "the" for the smoothest result (it depends on how advance a comparison to English voicebanks you want to go). And every Japanese doing English will have the same issue.

Ghost's actually not that hot at Japanese -> English, there are better and his attempts are some of the most robotic.
