She was on their top products of a year, 13th place... She was not by any means a commercial failure.

There were a lot of things into play at the time of Sonika, mostly, there was a Vocaloid craze and they wanted in on it. Sonika herself, her voice was a type which didn't give much leyway into the vocaloid software itself. Take note too, it was confirmed she had been edited to get the right sound also, and that a lot of the issue steams from her RAW audios not being that good.

The only thing Zero-G can do is to re-record her provider, whose voice may have changed from their desired sound as it has been 4 years. True females voices don't change like males during puberty, but voices change every year.

Sonika was a experiment... Zero-G learnt from it, but honestly... I'd want a Leon/Lola update before Sonika. Sonika still works on V3, with improvements to the voice, whereas Leon, Lola and Miriam are lost to version history. :-/
