I can't wait till he's released. If I like the work producers make enough, SONiKA may have a friend soon~! ¬w¬ I hope his voice is good.

But I don't think he's being released this month, maybe. He's not had demos released, so I'm really excited about hearing his voice~!

...£114?! I hope that's for buying the package and having it sent to you, and the buying then downloading costs less. I got SONiKA for only £80... I hope he's downloadable through ZeroG also~! <3

*ahem* Where do these new vocaloids come from? At first, I thought there were five but now I'm seeing more. There's even English Vocaloids. How is this happening? Not complaining since I like some of the new vocaloids, I just want to know.

It's kinda hard to explain, because it is getting into a very big story, but the thing is the first vocaloid was an english vocaloid. Actually, there were 2 first vocaloids, Leon and Lola (male and female), released on January 15, 2004. After those two, Miriam was released on July 20, 2004. She is an other englishloid. After those releases, Meiko finally appears as the first japanese vocaloid, released on November 5, 2004.
