Wouldn't know much about Diva, I tend not to pay attention to the video games songlist so I'm guessing there, which is naughty of me as normally I look it up. I know a few things that's about it.

DoE has a good narrative, its the best thing about it, that nobody can agree with. People like a good story. But the point of a musical is to put as much emphasis on the musical as you do the narrative. And as I just said, it could be much, much better. The problem is mostly though all those things goon in the storyline, you just don't "feel" the music displaying the emotions.

Some of that though, is Vocaloids inability also to correctly put emotions on display themselves, as their pretty monotone and we're talking about V2 vocals here that weren't ness. good when released. So the whole thing is impacted by this too. The real singers do a better job then the Vocaloids, but the songs still could do with more "oomph" to them.

I honestly don't have much else to say about the DoE series without repeating myself though. ITs a classic of Vocaloid and this won't change much, and a lot of new songs have trouble becoming known to fans so this means the iconic songs like DoE series tend to be popular because they've been around longer. Add to this the Vocaloid trend is over, despite Vocaloid still getting in the sales % its no longer the "newest craze", which makes newer songs harder to get attention.

To me this is also another thing holding back Vocaloid from getting mainstream as well... The audience isn't looking for the next big thing, their sticking with a lot of the old classics. When they do its often obscure songs based on our own fandoms "help me find this song" topics we've had in the last few months. Unless everyone collects around a common song, that song doesn't get the notice and fame. Then there is the fact on the CFM vocaloids are doing anything so other vocaloids are less attractive...
