Shu-tP's one of the few who can use V1 generally well. Other Producers leave me to question how good their usage of them is, they tend to get one right and not anyone else. As a Engloid fan, I've been long disappointed in the lack of even attempts by people to learn to use the English V1's well, making Shu-tP a refuge in the past for songs from the English V1 trio.

Meiko is the one of the V1 5 I have the most trouble liking in general. V1 leaves vocals sounding like their straining when they go high, and Meiko and Meiko's not one of the best going high (neither is Miriam, but Miriam is saved by the fact since she is high enough sounding lower octaves people don't seem to push her high).

The issue within the fandom of over praising vocals has been around for some time. CFM vocaloids in general get over praised for their capabilities, this makes things only worst with dealing with Meiko, because as well as this... Well. Meiko and Kaito are the two in general that I've grown to know as the two Japanese vocals that, as a Engloid fan, were given off as oh too often as examples to why "Engloids suck".

Especially with V1, all the issues of clarity, language capablities, they were at their worst overall with the V1 engine. Yet... To explain this to some, they don't seem to believe you, especially with Engloid V1's, so the V1 engine does Meiko and Kaito's no favours... In the eyes of a Engloid fan like me at least. Its also why I wannt to love Meiko, as a Vocaloid, but while I've managed to pull it off for Kaito I'm not feeling it for Meiko. :-/
