And here we go again!

How many times must this be explained?

Japanese producers prefer working with females. The reason given is that 80% of all DTM magazine subscribers are male. And in any given case the female end up out selling their counterparts.

Before you start off about Japanese vocaloids; their made for Japanese users and not for non-Japanese users at all, ergo, your not the target audience. Thats why you have English vocaloids for English lyrics, Spanish, Korean and Mandarin Chinese.

With chinese, Spanish and Korean vocaloids, there are so few vocals just getting 1 new one is more important then its gender or type.

Unless you can change the ENTIRE JAPANESE side of things, you will likely never sell this change. Out of the top 10 vocaloids, 3 are male (Len, Gackpo and Kaito). And to make things more complex, bare in mind Len comes with Rin, who is used far more then Len. And Aside from Len, Kaito is the most used of the male vocalists because traditionally he is regarded as a male vocal who can do most roles. So most roles other male vocalists for Vocaoid can do on the Japanese side end up competing with him for roles he is already fulfilling. :-/
