Actually it was noted how for the Kagamines in total they had about 4 months dedicated to them because their anniversary tied up with Miku. So guess who took most of the attention from them. This... Tends to happen to them a lot. Meanwhile Miku had full attention through the year.

Kaito actually got little attention, as did Meiko in their celebrations, I can't remember which of the two it was but one got significantly less attention then the other in theirs... :-?

Usually the marked celebrations is a bit of merchandise and a album... CFM doesn't give much attention to non-Miku Vocaloids because they kinda aren't making them as much money. For example Len and Meiko sometimes have trouble shifting units I believe of stuff. For example take the Dollfie Dream dolls, Len's doll was available to purpose months after Rin's sold out. A lot of it has to do with the age old problem of most of the fandom being male and wanting female dolls not little boy dolls, Rin just has 50% more fans then him in Japan and most buying their software go after it for her.

Meiko is kinda the most unattractive (not referring to appearance) of the females CFM has and can be seen as uninteresting or dull because of design, while not cute like Rin or Miku and she looses out in maturity realms to Luka. To top it off, the voice is a common vocal type that has trouble standing out against all Vocaloids that came after her for a long time. To top it off being originally a V1 she struggled to compete with the V2s when Vocaloid exploded onto the scene in 2007 and was held back by her software being hard to use. Kaito was sought after because he had a vocal type that was nice all-round and producers were prepared to go back to V1 to get it... But not when there were a small pool of females in V2. With Kaito as well you had to bare in mind the only other Vocaloid was Gackpo who was mature male, and he had problems. This is without factoring Meiko's put out by CFM as a mature adult older then Luka (same for Kaito but for male instead) and most go after the teens or young adult vocals. To top it off she and Kaito aren't true CFM Vocaloids so CFM normally invests more into their own.

I'll be surprised if its much more then a couple of dolls/figurines, that album and perhaps bringing out that wine or sake they brought out in her last one.
