but oh well, there are plenty of other good english-native vocaloids, so i mean, you win some, you lose some I know there are plenty of excuses for using non-English vocals for English results, so I'm happy this topic is positive so far about English usage.

I think what would prevent Una having a English voicebank as a good idea is the sheer size of her voicebank right now. English voicebanks are 5x the size of their Japanese counterparts, which is why some companies like CFM take short cuts with theirs such as only producing a single octave or re-using samples. Una's English voicebank would be massive in size. This means more issues bug finding and matching the voice of Japanese and English with each other. Top it off, there is no certainty of it to sell which is why Lily and Gackpo English aren't yet with us nor a Gumi English update.

Saying that, despite the crappiness of vocals like CFM English ones, I do not disagree with more being produced. The more the merrier. It certainly helps with situations like we're seeing with this topic. :-?

@Geomonlover; Status and the Vocaloid (mascot) pages are your friend. I often say between them they are the two most important pages of all. If you read them, you should make no more silly mistakes like calling Maika a Japanese vocaloid. I wouldn't worry too much though about it, anyone coming into this fandom right now as some 70 or so Vocaloids to learn about and I think 130 voicebanks... That's too much for anyone. O.O Oh my gosh, i could have sworn she was japanese by design alone! Wow, im legit proud shes spanish! And yeah, i havent heard of half of them! Mayu, Fukase, Uni, Rena, Akaloid Chan, Momo, Tohoku, even one designed by one of my favorite artists! Kokone, whos character design was made by AkkeyJin! Ive never even heard Cul in any song before either, and i didnt know Xin Hua was kinda popular! Shes kinda like akoi on popularity i think :p Momo is a UTAU I will correct you there, it is a different vocal synth to Vocaloid. A lot of the modern avatars of Vocaloids is Japanese style because fans demand it so. If you look at Prima, she represents the old way for non-Japanese vocaloids.
