The plucking sound is common for vocaloids.

Tonio, Prima, Sonika (who is the worst I've heard it in) and even Gakupo and Kiyoteru will produce it. We don't mention it anymore because its a glitch. Its removable with the right mixing and tuning, and also by less apparent by engine version.

I wasn't the one who removed the information BTW. :-/

Not sure exactly what the pronunciations are anymore, it used to be common knowledge amongst fans and was widely accepted. I think people stopped quoting it because we got a lot of new vocals come in, and the Ah-software fans silenced it...

This is the sort of bias you might occasionally come across with Ah software vocaloids. Its flat-out denial of the vocaloids well-known weaknesses. Its mostly centered around their first 3 vocals. I don't expect any vocal a studio releases to be perfect on their first go, after all perfection comes over time and is built on experience right?

Ah-software vocaloids have always seemed to have a lot of potential, get a decent fandom, but never become a big hit. Their most popular vocaloid, Yukari is behind Miku (1st), Gumi(2nd), Ia (3rd) and Lapis (4th) right now out of the studio golden girls, I'm not even sure where she is ranked...

Subconsciously, Ah-Soft fans during the V2 era seemed to be in a sort of denial about their status amongst the fandom. I can't explain it, they still are a little bit at time if you go to the right parts of the fandom. So its led to some problems with dealing with one or two of them I've found, and outside the wikia the issue goes from "bad" to "awful". :-/

I wouldn't say their the worst, but its like any part of the fandom that has fought to get noticed... The Engloid fans are another example. The Espanloids yet another... And SeeU is fighting to not be impacted by politics between Korea and Japan. You get used to it, life goes on and time tends to remove the bias anyway. I say that because back in 2009, as a Engloid fan I was seeing some strange BS about English vocaloid that I don't see as much these days. :-/
