Talk:Luo Tianyi V4 Japanese/@comment-34754462-20180911190235/@comment-53539-20180911192254

The Japanese voicebanks by non-natives like SeeU, Yohioloid and Tianyi generally aren't that bad, its easier to go into Japanese then come out. The Japanese DO prefer their own Vocaloids over foreign ones it seems, because of that fact they tend to support their own countries Vocaloids more over others. Then again you also have to consider that the native Japanese are normally overall better. I mean their natives so they know how to speak it correctly and most sounds are on the mark, plus they've been making the vocals now since 2004 and some like Internet or CFM have a number of vocals under the belt. To make a random Japanese vocal for the first time as a non-native at this point, well your going to hit issues compared to the experience offered by native Vocaloids regardless and their going to just end up better. Bare in mind, Saying that... CFM did apparently help produce Yohioloid.

As Viper highlighted, the main issue is accent, however... Japanese is a more precise language and it tends to be easier to make and produce the voice for the back, I mean just compared to English Japanese has 1/5 the size of the English voicebanks and can be out within 4-6 months. The accent issue tends to be a bigger problem in English then Japanese, but if the sound is wrong in Japanese there are no "work around" sounds like in English.

Overall as Viper also highlights... We don't tend to have much information on vocals like this. I can go on about the highs and lows of general voicebanks but not this one. So this is just "general issues" you find.
