well, there are plenty of other studios releasing vocaloids like Ah Software, ZZero-G or Internet co. The issue also is CFM vocals really vary in quality from LQ to HQ sometimes within the same engine generation. They've never 100% represented fairly the best of Vocaloid and vocals like VY1 and VY2 are often better.

So many non-CFM vocals get released and with them stuck on a re-lease loop... I wouldn't hold back much hope. Plus there is the theory of the current downtime in the Vocaloid market = Vocaloid5 being due. Aside from the Chinese vocaloids, who are currently seemingly being late into Vocaloi updates anyway, both English and Japanese vocals are being quiet. Usually, if these two languages are super quiet, there is something going on, which is why some like me think V5 is on the way.

Whatever the case maybe, if it is V5, we'll be waiting yet another year. CFM is due to release some new stuff either this year or next according to whats been guess-translated from tweets, But most of it was Luka, Kaito and Meiko focused.

Also bare in mind, CFM's only true series if the CV series of which on Miku, the Kagamines and Luka were planned... So things were meant to stop with Luka and the Appends were not planned so... Everything post Luka V2's release is because of the over popularity of Miku. They are really stuck in a loop because of her. The next updates likely will focus on Chinese voicebanks for vocals besides Miku.
