Hello, Vocaloid-Lovers! Hope you're having a lovely November so far. I felt the recent October roundup was quite bare so to make up for that, here's a small mid-month update! There's been a lot of big announcements during the first few weeks of November, some of which are time-sensitive so I figure it's best to post them now then wait until the end of the month...!

Utatane Piko Out of Stock

Alas, it seems the time has come for our white-haired, heterochromatic, robot boy. Although this year is his 10th anniversary, it seems the SONY MUSIC online store now lists Piko as being "Out of Stock", which means obtaining Piko will now be more difficult without new copies. There have been no official statements regarding this decision but it was discussed in various blogs and tweets.
