"Soft" was basically created to combat the no.1 issue with the original Iroha voice. :-/

As for the age of the character... Well lets consider that its been several years since Iroha V2 was recorded and released. Her provider was likely a young teen or adult, but now after half a decade will have aged, she will be at least a young adult now or older. The overall tone of the voice makes Iroha sound older for more then one reason and it does give off a more "sexier" tone. Between the aging provider and the sexier tone, I think the image is more appropriate.

Also, the next problem is to age Iroha...Well you'd have to make it notable that she is older. They altered theface, yeah and the proportions of her body are different, but consider that for some... This still doesn't make the whole thing obivous. On Iroha's page, you can see someone replying to other editors who can't see any difference in the adult Iroha's face. So without the boobs, some prople won't acknowledge she has ages.

And onestly She doesn't have the largest pair...

It also works the same way as Megpoid V3 acts to the original Megpoid voice. For those who don't know, the voices within the Megpoid V3 packae not only acted as expansions of Gumi's voice, but also her age. Her native voice is suppose to be a teenager, but the Complete package had ages portrayals from teenage sounding to adult (with 1 voice even flat out being labelled that).

Ah software has admitted with English versions they would find a voice provider to match the character rather then forcing their providers into something they can't do naturally. So we know AH software tries and adapts their products to design. Its not a suprise that Iroha is therefore changed in any way.
