The Japanese language is fairly different from English, so much so that it can be synthesized so well that they have entirely virtual pop music stars.

Vocaloid's English support has gotten absolutely fantastic. If you're curious, here are a couple of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMc4kw45e5g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmifuQvFu8M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQKGUgOfD8U

They're not for everyone, and the voices are still mechanical, but I've become a huge fan of English Vocaloid, especially Gumi.
