 * IA gets a lot of usage I don't know if tagging contributes to the popularity of a Vocaloid but there's 202,000 videos with the tag "Vocaloid IA" while KAITO (Vocaloid KAITO) has 364,000, MEIKO (Vocaloid MEIKO) has 210,000, Megurine Luka (Vocaloid Megurine Luka) has 211,000, Kagamine Len (Vocaloid Kagamine Len) has 369,000, and Kagamine Rin (Vocaloid Kagamine Rin) has 389,000. Which is better than the VOCALOID3's released around her, Mew (Vocaloid Mew) has 42,100, SeeU (Vocaloid SeeU) has 102,000, Tone Rion (Vocaloid Tone Rion) has 12,600, OLIVER (Vocaloid OLIVER) has 49,800, Yuzuki Yukari (Vocaloid Yuzuki Yukari) has 61,000, CUL (Vocaloid CUL) has 52,000, Bruno (Vocaloid Bruno) has 43,200, Clara (Vocaloid Clara) has 38,800, and Aoki Lapis (Vocaloid Aoki Lapis) has 45,600.

Maybe part of the reason 1st PLACE hasn't announced that they may be considering an English voice bank for IA is because not many people want ;_; she falls in the top 10 Vocaloids and her with Yukari I barely see have peolple saying they want an IA English? 1. 1st place doesn't have as much vocaloid money as crypton 2. Gumi english, unlike the other jap>usa, WAS aimed at the western audience. Did not sell as much as they wanted. Soooo, probably not  a wise choice.
