I think that in short the whole issue is just summed up as the attention towards Miku isn't just unbalanced; its brutally unbalanced. For western fans I shorta understand, we didn't make Miku popular, the Japanese did. She isn't even aimed at us, she is aimed at Japan. So we don't get must of a say in anything.

Disney said it best, he didn't make movies to make money, he made money to make movies. So is Miku makes money, they will have to keep investing money into her to make more money. Its basically a circle, and if nobody invests money into Vocaloids, then they don't sell as well. Why do you think its a big deal that Dex and Daina nearly beat Avanna last year despite their short release span; because Avanna, being an Engloid doesn't sell as much as we'd like despite being her companies no.1 product 3 years in a row. :-/

You can't whine about Miku's popularity yet not do a thing to encourage the growth of other Vocaloids. The Kagamines, for example, only sold half of the number in V2 that Miku sold in their first year. That, even with the Act2 out within that first year, repairing some of the damage the original release did. Over time, this sort of thing has caused the Vocaloid unbalance, which was likely also made worst by the storm of releases in V3 of pretty much the same thing. Hence why every time there is another female vocal, someone complains...
