When you give someone too much wiggle room with wanting to trust them, even after all the false hopes and controversial things they've done in the recent past... this is what happens. (Not in all cases, but clearly in those who have repeated the same mistakes in different situations like this one has.) We all fell for it. Like I said on dA, don't worry too much on this. You guys really went through with what you felt was the right thing to do, and it's nothing serious enough to warrant us losing trust in you all. You guys weren't the ones behind the hoax, and most folks don't believe in shooting the messengers, so you're still good! (^-^)

But really, though, I'm feeling all sorts of rubbed wrong, because I think my fear of that "XSY Fauxcaloid" I was talking about when that hack came out has come true in this case. Just like folks were claiming she sounds like certain VOCALOIDs, if you listen close enough, it really does sound like different vocals are layered, and I can clearly hear certain VOCALOIDs' ennunciations of phonemes. Not that he'd come out and admit it now, since he's jetted out... but really, if that does happen to be the case, to think he would have been selling an album under false pretenses. (Especially if he was going to hide them under a blanket name and not properly credit the vocals used... that's more trouble than what it's worth.)

One thing you can bet as a result of this, though... things are definitely going to be a lot rougher for newer potential VOCALOIDs in terms of background checks and folks contacting Yamaha more often to confirm legitimacy, though. It's something like this that's a hype killer for a lot of folks... ╮( -_- )╭
