Kitano and Miku side by side is not coincidental: "Miku is famous she can be paired with anyone..." No, that's not it. It's Kitano Kamui paired with Miku not Miku paired with Kitano. It's not Miku's franchise the website is talking about. A proof that Kitano's going that way, though pretty indirect, as I might say. No I did understand, that was the firs texample that came to mind but it was still legit. Miku has also appeared in severa games, those games are no more vocaloid games then Kamui a vocaloid.

If you want to go about this, you'll have to bring me solid written proof she ever was a vocaloid, this excludes that bad translation which took the mentioning of "virtual idol" aas = Vocaloid.

I think 6 months was more then enough time, but we saw little effort overall. They relied on the "word of mouth" technique pretty much to sell her, this either works exceptionally well or falls apart completely. They got a reputational artist in, KEI, also to see if they could attract the fans of KEI's art, but again this didn't get her anywhere.

Vocaloid is not the only example of "virtual idol" exsiting, so there was nothing solid in taking "virtual singer = vocaloid" and I scold the person who made this mistake as it made things worst for her in the western fandom.
