Lol, nice one Soop! XD Don't have Facebook, nor do I ever plan on getting one, but I'm definitely looking forward to future updates. :D

Yeah, and about that video... first, I lol'ed at the fact that they think all VOCALOIDs should be treated equally, yet there's only a set of examples for CFM VOCALOIDs showcased. The title gives off the air that they would've at least put more effort into the video if that was the aim, because they have a heck of a lot more they're missing there if they want to preach that ideal and be convincing about it. Even then, it's impossible for equal treatment... people are only going to continue to like what they like, and the companies that benefit the most from the popularity will just keep milking that, because that's what's bringing the bread home for them. This isn't a silly school kid pact between different companies to share the profits and the popularity of their VOCALOID products, it's business. Cold hard truth. Instead of giving into the urge to complain insessently about one being too popular, support the ones you like the most and help raise awareness of their existence without putting even more focus on the one you don't like. Positive or negative, attention is attention nonethelesss, and you'd just end up giving more power to the ones you oppose in that case. (´･~ ･｀)

Then, after all that, I pretty much tuned out when it was obvious they cherry-picked examples of "not so good" Miku tuning vs. "well tuned" other Crypton VOCALOIDs. While Miku isn't my absolute favorite vocalist to hear (since she's sort of in the lower middle of my favorites list and I only tend to listen to her when she's well-tuned), even I can call bull on that part, because there are plenty of examples out there where she has the potential of sounding amazing when in the right hands, even in her V2 version. Seriously, though, basing one's worst* versus others' best is a poor way to compare anything, even if you're not in favor of one side.

(*=not saying that the examples used were such... I've heard much worse than those, but the ones used aren't all that great either, seeing as they are songs from Miku's earlier years.)
