Exactly. There's another reason right there, the FUNDINGS. It's more expensive to update a VOCALOID than to make a new one.

And I just don't like the reasoning behind the Japanese vbs for them. If they were a true fan of them, they probably wouldn't want to change a thing about them, except a better quality vocal. The new language would just be an extra, it's not necessary, you know? I understand completely I would love to actually have them updated first before an extra language I just though Japanese VB's would make them more popular for japanese users to you know because while some people use them in japan many don't because they aren't japanese and they don't speak english but yeah updates would be a priority another language bank would be later if they became more popular I guess

Really? All the Japanese users I've seen using them usually use them for English. It'd be more like it'd be for the user overseas who like to cover japanese songs with said voicebanks.
