Although technologies seem to imply to have something more so to do with the engine as opposed to the voicebanks, but I have no real problem either way. I'm really hoping either way this is truly going to be a great reveal, whether it's AVANNA's counterpart or the proposed "American-accented"* VOCALOIDs, future planned updates for the software or voicebanks, or even if its something like a collab with some company that aims to bring more attention to VOCALOID on US music industry front. Whichever one it is, I'm looking forward to the news from that day when it happens. :-3

(*=quotes, because I always find that term funny, seeing as there are so many dialects. It'd be funny for that rare off-chance that this one came with a heavy New York or Massachusetts accent... or surprise us with a southern drawl... but yeah, all jokes aside, it's just so broad when there's so many dialects. That goes with any given language.) :-D

@Eevee: Lol, I know what you mean there... you already have what you want either coming or already there, and you just don't know what else you need or want. That spare cash is definitely going to come in handy later, though, sometimes when you least expect it to. ;-)

Personally I've been requesting gift cards in lieu of random gifts when it comes to presents now days. (More specifically, Amazon GCs... at least I can stock up and have some back-up funding that never expires when I absolutely need to grab something from there I can't get anywhere else in my area. Stockpiling for da win.) Knowing me, if I have physical bills, I don't hold onto them for long... I don't like holding onto paper money like talking about, so I have to get rid of it somehow. XD
