Luka V4x was just what some didn't expect. But Japanese fans still are buying her, so it doesn't matter. If the product is bad but still gets sales, then the critics haven't won.

And seriously... Compared to Luka V2, the quality lept up a lot and so for Luka fans this was important. It wasn't about how "good" she was compared to other Vocaloids, it was how good she was as "Luka". And with the EVEC feature, the producers got so much varity out of the Luka voice anyway... I think the sheer varity of quantity in Luka's voice won over any doubts in quality for them.

So despite how much of there is a complaint service on Luka... Overall she ended up a good buy for those who wanted her. And she has waited over 5 years for her update, including being redone twice.

Though I'm not sure why the overseas fans are causing more fuss over all the vocaloids then most other fandoms. If the fans don't like something in the other fandoms, they just don't buy the product. Simple really. There are complaints, sure... But they have a pretty good response to vocaloids. I mean you can make the HQ vocaloid, there is never a certainty it will sell anyway. These days VY1 is selling well, but in the past she was a miss. Though to be fair, youpractically get her with every version ofVocaloid... sooner or later you'll come across her just because of how muchshe is on offer.

I feel though, poor Star has had the most negative response of all from overseas based on avatar alone. Its going to be worst on youtube.... A lot of fans have a habbit of downpointing/raging first before they read. :-/
