A.) Rin and Len's voices are so much better

B.) She's annoying

C.) She's overused

D.) She's the most popular and for some reason I'm against popularity

E.) Producers only use her when there's a bunch of other, and BETTER SOUNDING Vocaloids they could use instead

A: Actually, techniclly the reputation of the Kagamines means their not better by a long run.

B: How? I find her voice annoying. I find her appearance everywhere vocaloid related annoying. Neither reasons are good enough to "hate", but she does get boring after a while.

C: Popularity breeds popularity... The producers use her a lot because she is the most famous, likely to get attention and popular. I'd focus on raising the profile of the other vocals and not on Miku's popularity.

D: Wow.... Thats kinda shallow. I know you can't please everyone but there is nothing wrong with liking something popular. Lets toss the other 60+ Vocaloids aside right for the moment and focus on the by-product of popularity. Increased sales means that more can be inveted safely into a vocaloid, so Miku can have more money poured into her without fear of consquences. This is both good and bad, but for the majority of users, who are into Miku anyway, this is good for them. I'm not defending her because damn, as a primary Engloid fan the funding issue prevents update. I'm jut explaining that people buy her, so therefore things will get worst over time as they pump more into her. The further the gap is between her and other vocals the harder it will be for them. Ergo, this is why you should focus on raising the popularity of the other vocals and forget her.

E: VOCALOID NET and Mobile VOCALOID Editor are ways Yamaha is working on rising the way people can access the vocal they want. Their only in Japanese though Cyber Diva's release likely hints this is due in the next few years for English. A lot of producers can't compete unless they use one of the popular 8, Ia, Yukari or VY1, the top 11 vocaloids.
