They could not get Gumi Falsetto to work, the vocal was unbalanced, so rather then pursue it they made a fresh Vocaloid with it. Both are the same vocal type.

Regardless dont' think "same vocal type" means "sounds like Gumi" as a lot of people instantly believe I've said when I note this. The falsetto vocal would prevent Kokone sounding just like Gumi even if their normal range was the same, as they would off set the normal vocals results.

I've also seen a few fans try and claim Kokone isn't falsetto and is instead "Head Voice", because there is some controversy over if females can or can't do falsetto. To be honest, falsetto isn't required in most songs and unless your doing big long high notes that need to be carried in the air with power but no tone (and in turn no pronunciation) Kokone's falsetto isn't that useful. Whenever I seen people use either Kokone or VY2v3 falsetto, they don't really seem to know what their doing with the vocal. ITs a vocalisation technique, you can't treat them like normal singing vocals. Falsetto is a voice halfway between singing and whistling, with different muscles used for it to both. ITs one of the 4 registries of the vocal, the other being speech. ITs circumstantial and not that useful. I honestly don't get the obsession some studios have had with trying to produce it. :-/
