In case anyone is mad I'm arguing with your posts, I set this up to be a discussion, so people, not just me, are free to make an argument. VY2 isn't much of a popular vocaloid (compared to the big eight or nine and plus most of Japanese wouldn't who who he is) but YAMAHA gave him an append voicebank, they still updated Galaco gave her a new voicebank (since her prize voicebank was crap) and a talking/voiceroid bank.

So I wouldn't see Mew getting an English voicebank impossible. Plus Yamaha could make the voicebank for the trans-pacific thing that they planned and basically nothing has really happened from it except Gumi English.

Mew is more popular is over sea's because the fact that the population outside of Japan and the West likes mature voicebanks then cutesy one, i.e Crypton with Miku English they made her mature instead of cute to sell to the West. But seriously how many western singers do you see on TV, Youtube or hear on the radio that have cutesy voices? How many in Japan? A lot. This is a reason why mature female voicebanks aren't so popular in Japan.

Although there isn't many originals with Mew, but the fact that there are a lot of covers posted on youtube, soundcloud and other websites.

Yamaha has even booted her to the NEO engine while Tone Rion hasn't, so I wouldn't say Yamaha has given up on her, plus I think Yamaha would update her to the V4 engine, if they did that with VY1 and VY2.

You can argue with me about it, but I won't back down when it comes to my waifu. Mew isn't popular enough in America either. She would not sell well. If Mew is getting english, so is pretty much every V3 vocaloid, because a lot that didn't sell well in japan get plenty of covers (many which could be pocaloid). VY1 and VY2 were somewhat popular in the V2 era, not so much in V3. However, that's irrelevant for them, because they were created to head Yamaha's products. Mew and Tone Rion both didnt't wo well, but Tone Rion was much worse off. Getting Neo does not = English.
