I guess, I praised them too much with that word. It is the "fans" who are supposed to be the pioneers not the Vocaloids >.>

I think the Miku formula is present (just an opinion), it had a large impact on how the Vocaloid Development trend is going. The CV series was experimental right? But by trying to use feats of the Anime fandom such as moe-ness of the voice, anime-themed mascot and such, it became a hit. Well, it sure isn't a big impact but it is still there. Miku became like the "template" for new Vocaloids. Well, sure not every part of the G8 made a big difference, but they are well-known because they are attached to a single category/theme/motif that everyone seems to easily recognize and that is Miku.

I'm sorry if my post is confusing D:
