They have since released Tonio, Prima, Sweet Ann and Big Al. E-Capsule also released the first recommended ranges and speed for these Vocaloids as well as providing background information such as age and height. However, both Big Al and Sonika already had some details released, some of which were different. Big Al is younger, shorter and lighter and Sonika is also slightly shorter and lighter.
They also released GUMI, Lily, Gackpo, Miki, Iroha, VY1 and VY2.
It is speculated that they might release Oliver in Taiwan because they have uploaded a demo of him singing.
