^ That doesn't necessarily mean that the companies would update their VOCALOIDs. Remember, PowerFX/VocaTone and Zero-G won't update their VOCALOIDs unless:

A. They have enough money to do it. Renewing a license and reusing the name/character costs more money than making a whole new VOCALOID

B. These VOCALOIDs become more popular. This is why an AVANNA update hasn't been off the table just yet, they're actually kind of considering one, but are more focused on making new VOCALOIDs. They did say before that if there was such a high demand for their past VOCALOIDs to be updated, then it's a possibility, but eh.... the crowd we have now isn't big enough... and even though there are people who want them to be updated, not everyone in this group are actually going to buy it, which plays an even bigger factor in supporting them rather than just sitting and listening to their songs.

Also, Sony is known to be... a little unkind in the VOCALOID franchise. I wasn't here when Piko came, but I heard they were strict and whatnot. This is why I think a Piko update isn't that likely at all. If they do it, I'd be shocked, but so far, nothing.
