They can't register as only a mailing adress within Japan allows them to register Rana. This is why its pointless getting her. Some of the westerner producers have lied and claimed they are doing this, when they just have the illegal version.

The thing is, Rana is a newbies vocaloid, which means she has a limited target audience. The veteran producers won't be hyped because they have better.

Also I don't see any evidence yet of her being a commercial failure like Kaito was. If she was a complete failure, they wouldn't have continued selling her magazine after more then a few issues. :-/

Also outside of Japan, Vocalods besides Miku don't get much attention. The idea that they buy it due to a "moe blob" isn't 100% true. If this was the case, SeeU would be as strong as day 1 release and Tone Rion (who was VERY much made to be "moe") would be more popular.
