I think a lot of the trouble was, that it took until 2010 for the fandom here in the overseas section to get with the times. So for 3 years, misinformation was allowed to spread. That meant a whole 3 years worth of fans got things wrong. Top it off, Vocaloids always been a sort of personnal experience for everyone and this leads to divide on what Vocaloid is. A band...? A Video game...? A Anime...?

We're set up to promote every part of the Vocaloid franchise, yet we can only reach a % of the fans. I think I once worked out a few years ago (so this is long out of date and the % might be higher) we reach out to only 5% of the fandom. VO forums reaching less then us. When you consider there is millions of fans, and we're visited every day by a thousands, it pretty much sends out the signal that we can only reach X amount of people. And the ones we reach tend only to be the ones looking for answers, in other words the willing ones...

Meanwhile the media is promoting the same selective few vocaloids all the time, so constantly everyone gets to know the Big 8 long before they get to know any of the other 50+ vocaloids. We're fighting the sun and moon, is what we're saying.

Basically, this is the problem, the fans and produces created it firstly, but at this point its constantly being fueled one way or another and we can't stop it. :-/
