I seriously don't see a problem, other than the fact that it's hard to get CeVIO outside of Japan, with her being a CeVIO. If what Tenshi said about ONE's popularity is true then i really don't see an actual problem, especialy since we are dealing with 1st Place, who have said over and over that they are a talent agency which means they probably know what they are doing, unlike other Vocaloid companies that just try to get off a trend that they can't seem to control well most of the time (check companies trying to make CV-like characters (like with backstories andwhatnot), JPN-ENG VBs, appends).

And lets be honest, if Sony, or whoever owns CeVIO, wants CeVIO to go to the west they would try to use a vocal that can get attention without really trying. Making a brand new vocal isn't goimg to work since CeVIO isn't all that known in the West, i doubt Sasara's VP is good at English, and i honestly don't think that they would chose ONE instead of IA when it cames to sales in the West, so...

I feel like they planned for her to be Vocaloid but later made a deal with CeVIO lol. It's really hard seeing this being a Vocaloid tho, even native vocals sound weird from time to time in Vocaloid. If this is CeVIO then i wll gladly wait for it, it's beein a while since i heard a synthetic vocal speak English so well lol. And for those that think it's a risk, i heard somewhere (don't ask me where cause i don't remember...) that Japanese companies take risks only when they know that it will make profit, so i wouldn't worry that much.
