I still don't have the answer to "Which nationality is VOCALOID ?" I assume it depends either you talk about the avatar or the software.. Yamaha is Japanese but that doesn't mean that Vocaloid was created in Japan...

Vocaloid From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [@ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocaloid ]

Vocaloid (ボーカロイド Bōkaroido)  is a singing voice synthesizer . Its signal processing part was developed through a joint research project led by Kenmochi Hideki at the  Pompeu Fabra University  in  Barcelona,  Catalonia,  Spain, in 2000 (the same team that later founded Voctro Labs ) and originally was not intended to be a full commercial project. Backed by the  Yamaha Corporation, it developed the software into the commercial product "Vocaloid. ' So basically Vocaloid could be considered Spanish more than Japanese... Olé?
