Japanese has something like half the sounds that are used in english, so it stands to reason that it is easier to synthesise.

I feel like Vocaloid is Japans version of T-Pain.

More than that, the company responsible for it is a Japanese company.

How does Hiragana or Katakana compare to written English? I'm not too familiar with japanese language but AFAIK, they can write things as they're spoken, but my own understanding of english makes a lot of exception to how words are pronounced. 'u' is pronounced 'you', but in 'umbrella' it's pronounced 'ah'. Each letter needs its own context library and that may be a reason why this isn't as readily researched in english even tho it's a more commonly spoken language.
