User blog comment:Bunai82/0January-12-13 - Either I'm losing interest or feeling overwhelmed Japanese Vocaloids/@comment-1523675-20130228061209/@comment-1523675-20130228123256

The success of Vocaloid in Japan owes mainly to Crypton's business strategy, not Yamaha's. In fact Yamaha was going to withdraw from Vocaloid if Miku had failed.

Western fandom needs people like Mr. Ito or Mr. Kenmochi or Mr. Sasaki.
