"The minimum amount we will ask will correspond to the amount needed for renting a recording studio and paying the voice provider of our VOCALOID™. Indeed, developing a VOCALOID™ implies numerous costs: buying the licence from Yamaha Corporation, renting a recording studio, paying the voice provider and the winner of the design contest, but also costs to distribute it." I read that page I can't believe I skipped over that thank you Serza :)
