User blog comment:Pihou/VOCALOID 4 Predictions?/@comment-25153933-20140710202739

First of all, I sort of doubt V4 is going to happen any time soon, as Yamaha just added Mac compatibility, they should wait a bit before an engine switch. But it's fun to speculate, so I'll just share what I know about the few things that you said and then I'll add my own thoughts~

Not sure about another Chinese VOCALOID actually. As much as we need one ( a male in particular ), I'm pretty sure VOCALOID CHINA shut down last year, so unless another Chinese company comes on board, that's the end of that.

CV04 was supposed to happen a long time ago, but of course the engine switch happened and they had to update their V1 and V2 vocals (which, obviously, they are still in the process of doing) and if we get ANOTHER engine switch, it will just be time to update Miku again, so unless V3 stays around for a while longer, CV04 might not have a good chance of happening since Crypton will be caught up in updates. Again.

And we REALLY REALLY need SV02. However, I'm pretty sure that SBS went broke, or at least the division of their company that handled SeeU did. Pretty sure that hiatus SeeU English is on was caused by bankruptcy.

OK, sorry for all the negativity in those, hah.

NOW FOR MY IDEAS *WHOOSH*

-Italian VOCALOIDs. And other languages such as German or Portuguese.

-More males. And I don't mean Shota Shota Lenlen, males with low ranges like VY2 or KAITO.

-More mature females. I realize that there are already quite a few, but more can't hurt! :)

-A new VOCALOID from 1st PLACE. Better yet, I want it to happen in the V3 era actually.

OK, those are my ideas~
