Just a note, internet co are one of the higher quality vocal providers, their making a english vocal for the first time, that is significant. And, notably, we've heard nothing yet on the results. On top of that, Internet are not a english company and like Luka, Gumi MIGHT have other issues we can't be certain of. However, I don't see Gumi being another Luka... ^_-

Sadly, we often hear of vocals months before news, and its rare that a vocal gets less then a month notice before release and VY2 is the only one we've had with this in a very long time. Its mostly to hype up release. However, while Bunai's stating the truth, they have slowly been stirring up from modest releases and letting things plod along at a nice pace. We usually get demos literally a few weeks before the release, although we know Oliver's release got a few Yamaha issues that held it back a month or two. Noteworthy as well, Yamaha might do it again for timings sake, since we're expecting the big introduction into America next year.

English vocals also have not only the issues of being expensive to make (especially for overseas producers like PowerFX and Zero-G), but take 5x as long to produce. Meanwhile, the fandom itself has had to fight all sorts of different misconceptions to give the english version half a chance. I posted a URL on Luka's page to an old article released for Luka's unveiling which was a typical classic "We only know Miku, the Kagamines and Luka" from 2009 before everyone released anyone else actually existed (including Meiko and Kaito). :-/
