That recent NND ranking never even bothered me one bit, even though Tianyi and YANHE were in the lower tier, because they're not meant for Japanese fans to simply put it. Bilibili is where the real stuff happens and that's where they really shine (except not much Xin Hua stuff show up on BB, I have to check NND and YouTube more often! :o I wonder if it has anything to do with tension between China and Taiwan?). It's the same for SeeU and CreCrew, but since that shut down not too long ago, she has to deal with NND and YouTube. :(

Though, I can't say all Chinese fans like their VOCALOIDs more over the Japanese ones. Especially since before Tianyi released, they fancied Miku and Luka in particular and had an interest in Japanese VOCALOIDs. Even to the point of buying them and attempting to have them sing in Mandarin (which results vary from gaining backlash for it or not).

And besides.... the Chinese fans tend to have their own kinds of drama ;_; Like fighting over producers (which I think was recent, actually, but I don't know the details), arguing over illegal acts of MMD, starting trouble with companies, and flaming anyone who gets in Ling's way (YANHE....). OH MAH GAWD ILY I HATE HATSUNE SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
