As Sir Vancelot said on his Yukari V4 video: "There's going to be broke,  broke  people this coming spring".

So we have CYBER DIVA, Xin Hua, and possibly Yukari (should she land in Feb - April).... with the additional possibility of Ling since her voicebank is finished (and is speculated after studying the behavior of the past ones, to be released in somewhere around March - May).

I have no idea how the Chinese fandom exactly... reacts to Xin Hua, I guess. I will ask Louis if she can quickly scan the fandom based on the biggest community sites. I'm slightly worried since Taiwan and Mainland China doesn't exactly get along very well. Maybe she'll do very well in Taiwan, but bad in China (since targetting China too can bring business)? But, I'll ask. That, and I believe she'll be way easier for overseas fans to buy her as well, not like the SHN VOCALOIDs who are practically stored behind a spiked wall with a flamethrower sticking out (Taobao can be very pissy on overseas and using an agent can burn holes since they add on shipping and fees for their service) >n>

If Luka is gonna be like MEIKO last year, she's definitely going to be overshadowing VOCALOIDs before, around, and after her. MEIKO overshadowed Nana, kokone, anon and kanon.... Even though I love MEIKO so much, she killed off potential buyers of the others around her, and they're good VOCALOIDs too. :(  That said, Luka can potentially steal away CYBER DIVA, Xin Hua (Chinese fans really liked Luka and Miku, back before they had Chinese VOCALOIDs), Yukari, and IF Ling ever happens in Q1.  Plus VY1v4, as stated here, people shoved off VY1 to save up for Luka instead.

I'm still going to hang on a little hope that CYBER DIVA does well here, because I think she has potential. ;w;
