Talk:SeeU/@comment-190.1.185.209-20180213203817/@comment-53539-20180214101459

unfortunately we have no idea if she ever will, the provider going to jail has pretty much put a spanner in the works and is believed to be the reason speculated her English never was released. SeeUhas been a bit doomed from the start since she was over hyped in pre-V3 promos as multi-lingual with English, yet never had a English vocal. This is the point made by the song I Only Speak Konglish, as extra phonetics were added in the Korean vocal for English, yet that was never stated and not much focus actually was put on Japanese or Korean vocals.

That's without the discovery of the promo I-fantasy being noted for its use of both voicebank and singer at the same time. Since the vocalist has the ability to add expression and Vocaloids don't. So the impact of blending vocalist and vocaloid was that the vocaloid sounded more realistic then it was. Vocaloids are pretty much flat or mono-toned. :-?

Overall, SeeU's PR in the V3 pre-release party was just sad. She had a lot of hype but you look at the trends... She lost much of her popularity within a year of her release. The reality was a lot of vocaloids came out in V3 and everyone had a lot of choice. There were winners and losers. Every vocaloid ate into each others' sales during the early V3 release period as there were just too many released.

SeeU had a rough life, politically Japan hated her and not enough Koreans bought her software. So there was that too. The report is that SeeU sold better in Japan then Korea despite this, but the note is she sold poorly in Japan.

Problem is similar in Korea to China, in that there is a consideration that the average person can't afford too much vocaloid. Ergo, pirating becomes a problem at times in Korea both North and South at times. There is pirating everywhere, but Japan is the one area supposedly its not impacting Vocaloids too much (still occurs but Japanese fans chase out the ones caught due to their aggression at times). In English vocaloids, pirating is also an issue but over time slowly more vocaloids are being sold over time as the pirating era is still there, but at the same time people are starting to actually want to own them. :-?

I honestly think SeeU is a almost lost cause and rather then focusing on her they need to focus on future products. Uni is a good start at recovering from the mess SBS artech created with SeeU's release. The Korean Vocaloids should not sit on 2 vocals though, as this is a worst situation to be in. A market is built by having options, the Spanish vocaloids also pulled out too soon at 3 vocaloids.
