I know that sales is a big concern, as it used to be mine, however I highly, highly doubt that's the case.

It should be noted that UNI's limited edition album sold out; it's a sign that people are willing to put down money on products for/featuring her. And it should also be noted that the album's not the only thing sold out on her website.

Her SeeUNI + V4 Editor package, which is nearly 400k won, is sold out. The most expensive product available is sold out. Furthermore, the UNI + V4 Editor starter pack is also sold out. Two of the most expensive products are completely out, which would indicate that not only are people willing to put down bank, they're willing to put down a lot of it.

Another thing to think about is that UNI's been credited by Korean fans (which is where I got it from), for saving the K-loid industry. She brought back old producers and inspired several new, notable ones, and has high quality, popular new songs put out every week (see; Vocaloid Empire Weekly Rankings). UNI's on track to hit 1M with a couple of her songs, several of which have only been out for less than a year, or are heading towards it. It took SeeU several years for some of her most popular songs (Hide and Seek, Alone, I=Fantasy), to even scratch the surface of 1M.

Besides, I'm quite positive that if UNI had sold poorly, Dr. Yun/ST Media would've said something about it. They're quite transparent about their processes, even if their updates are slow.

And speaking of slow updates; I don't know if this is a comfort or a hope killer, but remember that it took three years for UNI to be released. She was announced in 2014, and her official design reveal came a year or so later, and her first demo came an entire year after that! UNI's production took a long time, and part of that is due to the transition from V3 to V4.

I'd imagine that we're waiting on her Append and English because Dr. Yun plans to have those released in V5, if all the rumors about it being right around the corner are true.

So we might just be in for a wait because of how long it takes for this sort of production to get done, as shown with the case of UNI's V4, and on top of that, the fact that V5 is coming up. Dr. Yun's slow to update, but when he does, it's typically rather substantial.

I wouldn't get too bummed out about no updates. I've been checking the Vocaloid Empire site religiously for years, at this point. If there are updates, I guarantee I'll let you know.

But I wouldn't worry about the Appends/English not coming to be. I have faith in STM and Dr. Yun that they'll pull through on what they promised. He usually does ;)
