There are only three things I'm, hoping for, for VOCALOID4. Though if you count the voicebank updates I would like, then it's eight things...

- a VOCALOID that will sing in a langauge that no other voices are capable of yet. I am aware that MAIKA, SeeU, and even SONiKA are somewhat capable of singing in other languages then they are designed for, but I mean an actual voicebank dedicated to the language.

- Better voice configuration settings. It would make it a lot easier to make the voice sound louder or quieter, without making it sound too off. I and my friend both use VOCALOID3, and we have a bit of trouble when it comes to setting a good voice configuration.

- And finally, I hope five specific VOCALOIDs get V4 updates.

I really don't want to argue with anyone on this. creating a voicebank requires a lot of time, and lots of money, and I understand updating a VOCALOID would be a lot of trouble. But there is a small chance that these updates could be possible. Despite me mentioning this on DeviantART, three people still managed to try and start an arugument with me on the post I made.

The updates I would like to see:

CUL. I really loved her voicebank. But it was a bit too loud. If they updated her to V4, I feel as if they could do even better with her voice. Despite how loud and hard to control her voice was, she still had a great voice. Don't believe me, go listen to Empath-P's song 'White Night' and listen. CUL sounds amazing in that song. A lot of people seem to love her.

Mayu. Her voice was great too. She didn't get as popular as I expected she would, but if she got an update then maybe she'd get more attention.

AVANNA. She is my favorite English VOCALOID. Her voice is clear, and her English sounds really good. Just like with Mayu, I feel as if she wasn't as popular as she could've been.

Oliver. His English wasn't all that clear and understandable, but no English VOCALOID sounds perfect and 100% understandable. Maybe an update is what he needs.

And finally, SeeU. I know with her VP getting arrested, and the fact she didn't sell as many units as SBS expected, this is highly unlikely. But she is my favorite, and when you have a favorite anything, you tend to have a lot of hope for it. She is the VOCALOID I have, and her voice is fairly easy to use, both voicebanks sound great in my opinion, and SBS did finish recording her English voicebank. At the very least, they could probably release her English VB as a VOCALOID 4 voicebank, and see where it goes from there. Kim Dahee being arrested would be one of the biggest issues, but it's not about imitating Dahee's voice. SeeU is just a character created from her voice, so maybe people could look past that instead of being like "Hey! This VOCALOID is voiced by a girl who went to prison!" and last time I heard, there is going to be a new Korean VOCALOID (Uni, I think?) and that could boost SeeU's popularity. Because she and Uni are both Korean, people could use them to sing duets. I am in a VOCALOID user group, and when Merli was released, a lot of people bought her AND Aoki Lapis, because they wanted them to sing together, since they are sisters. It's not the same case with SeeU and Uni, especially considering we don't even know what Uni sounds like, led alone know if she and SeeU's voices sound good together, but we'll have to wait and see.

I'd like to see these voicebanks get updates, because I feel as if they all could use a 2nd chance.

(On a random note, I just noticed how long the part about why I want SeeU to get an update, was.... Well, I did/ say she is my favorite. And who doesn't love to ramble about their favorite? X3)
