It's blog post time! So, why is it that popular Vocaloids such as Kamui Gakupo and Utatane Piko aren't getting English voice banks, despite their continuous popularity? Well, I actually have a couple thoughts on this topic. For one, a Vocaloid's voice provider obviously has to know English themselves before they can start working on an English voice bank for that Vocaloid. Secondly, even if the voice provider already knows English (or even if they have to learn it), the company for the Vocaloid may not be willing to put in all of the money and effort it takes to create and release a whole new voice bank. Voice banks for Vocaloids also take quite a bit of time to create. That's why some voice banks for Vocaloids are delayed weeks or sometimes even months past their initial release date. However, if the company actually is working on a new English voice bank for a Vocaloid, it could take a while for us fans to hear about it. Now, I'm not saying that we aren't going to get English voice banks for some Vocaloids at all, but it might take a while for us to get them. But at least there's still hope!
