@Xey, yes for a Japanese vocal he is a flop, but the fandom right now has gone back to focusing on the magic big 8 vocals. To make matters worst every CFM is now getting a english vocal.

Even before they had english vocals, some struggled to accept that English vocals had any worth and the weaboo part of the fandom is the biggest bastard part of the fandom when it comes to bias... This is why in the west even other non-CFM sometimes struggle for acknowledgement.

A lot of the focus YOHIOloid would have had has gone to Miku English... So this has impacted his popularity and sales... "Why buy Yohioloid when you can own Miku"... I've seen this argument since V2; only the name of the English vocal has changed. But having already compared Avanna in the past to Oliver, Yohioloid is indeed more popular then her, he isn't 6 months old so its slow to progress right now. :-/

As I said before, Oliver's continued popularity seems more of a fluke. Aided by Bee and Puppycat as well getting his name out (he got 400 DA pieces in 2 months or so when they first showed).

But the other thing is, Miku mania is at the highest its been in a few years; the Japanese vocaloids are being impacted too. Vocals which struggled before are now getting a lot less attention. This is the impact releasing the biggest of the big 8 has on the Vocaloid fandom... We knew it would happen.

Heck, look at Luka right now, she is off the top 10 rankings, and everyone who likes Luka in the weaboo side of the fandom is protesting over her lack of popularity right now. Ignoring that there are 48 other vocaloids in worst position. The fandom cares about these 8 more then they do for the rest... There is consequences for the loyalty and love of these vocals. Heck, I don't want to put the fandom down much, but freckles face at VO forums thinks Japanese vocals can produce better English results then English vocals. Even though this is BS and every fan who knows better knows it...

With mentality like this within the fandom, what chance does any language stand at getting anywhere? :-/
