Why do people keep misspelling my name? It's really not that hard. :U

"I was hoping Zhiyu Moke was a choice ;_; did Vocaloid China get cancelled??"

Moke wouldn't be a choice here because he's not announced to get a voicebank. There is a chance he will, but this poll is only for the ones that are confirmed for sure.

VOCALOID CHINA was cancelled in 2014, with the rights of all characters at the time sold to Shanghai He Nian. SHN then launched a new project called "VOCANESE", which is pretty much the same thing but a different name and marketing techniques since it's all under SHN's control.

@Caiyin - Even if her voice isn't that great, I'm fairly certain people will buy her anyways. .3. Because they already like her character too much.

@Nick - Tianyi is popular in China because she has a cute voice and design that people could rally around. Both male and female fans like her, just the male fans tend to be more vocal about it. She also had a whole year to rally her own fans.

YANHE wasn't that popular initially in the East side. She had nicer west fans if anything. A lot of it had to do with the confusion between the new character and the old concepts. Fans basically thought that SHN was ditching the other supporting characters and were going with YANHE. There was even a false rumor that YANHE's voice was supposed to be Moke's, but it was a rumor started by a person in the East side who basically wanted to start drama with SHN. There wasn't anything to really explain why SHN decided to make a new character, but it could be possible that the licenses to the supporting characters aren't exactly under their control entirely at the time since they were collaborating with Bplats.

YANHE is basically doing fine now, but she was a mess as soon as she was revealed.
