In both cases its to be expected. Sometimes the Vocals do some similair because they share the same tone, type or vocal range. This happens even in real life, in fact Vocal impersonations are common in entertainment, best example off the top of my head? Elvis impresonators.

Even in appearances, now look.

Miku is the most popular character and has been a heavy influence on Otaku and Voclaoid culture.

We#'ve got 4 Vocaloids confirmed so far to have borrow tips from Miku, thus we cannot cay "No Vocaloid has not borrowed from Miku" because we can track down 4 different studios who've said it; Zero-G, PowerFX, Internet co., Ltd and Ah-software.

Even if they did not borrow from Miku, their hitting the same Otaku culutre, which likes designs like Miku. Thus a character whose appearance is deprieved independantly from the Otaku culture directly and not Miku can also end up looking like Miku unintentionally because Otaku are attracted to Miku's style of character. There is a history amongst the Japanese Otaku for loe of similair designs that pre-date Miku herself.

I'm also annoyed at both issues; but only because there are too many fans who fail to just go with the flw. No two vocals will have the EACT same issues related to it even if voiced by the same provider. Therefre, though there will always be similairites between vocaloid vocals and designs, there will always be unique traits about them too.

Rather then whining or complaining about it, I wish people would just accept this will happen. Sort of like how there always seems to be at least one member of the main cast of digimon with goggles since its the series tradition. Or in Yugioh the main characters all have crazy hairstyles.
