Talk:Hatsune Miku/@comment-53539-20120831093609

Going over th reactions of many fans, the one thing that urks me is the awareness of how Vocaloid was before Miku. Every time I hear a comment on the marketing of Engloids, for example, they complain about how they are not marketed as well as the J-loids. Yes Miku is marketed well now, but go back to pre-release and there is virtually no differencebetween her and Miriam's promotions. Miku's success is like how my little pony: Friendship is magic has such a big following, its all down to the internet. Still, as much as I like critising Miku, we're always reminded that her success led to this fandom springing up in the first place. Therefore, I findit difficult not to at least acknowledge her birthday while its still the 31st here.

Still Miku is proof that fansmatter to any fandom and a signal to how much every fandom relies on its fans to put stuff back into what their a fan of. :-/
