I'm kinda bummed Hai isn't being made for Vocaloid. I'm guessing there was some other company that reached out to them for this new synth and whatnot, but it feels like a missed opportunity; Stardust's so popular, you'd think they'd take full advantage of their abilities with vocaloid. Putting Hai on another engine is gonna hurt her popularity/success.

ONE was smth I recall tons of people were hyped for, but when she was announced for Cevio a lot of ppl just dropped her. If it weren't for 1st Place doing all the promotion with her and IA through the last couple years, she no doubt would've faded into oblivion. I really don't want that to happen for Haiyi...

On another note, I was wondering if anyone could clarify this; I saw a tweet (reliable source, I know lol)

And it said that Vocamerica is funded with 20k while the first live miku concert, the 39's Giving Day was funded with a 9k budget?

The tweet was essentially asking why Vocamerica has such shoddy animations for a 20k budget while Crypton could do what they did with less than half of that.

I can pick apart some of it; Crypton's a big company, has connections, has more skilled workers, while Vocamerica's made by amateurs essentially. That and it's made for the Engloids, who are faaaar less known and therefore probably won't be filling up a concert venue any time soon.

I just can't get over that...20k is a lot of cash. And the guy's right; the dances for the English songs (where they don't just download superior MMD motion for some Mitchie M song and slap an UTAU on it), are bad. It's always bugged me.

Most of the songs are just Dex or Daina or Ruby swaying side to side with awkward movements. I caught Yohioloid's debut, and it's just so awkward to watch...it doesn't even look like they used motion capture...

and they had 20k to do it, too//// wheeze/////
