'''Whispers: I bought Lola in 2004/5 from a computer fair. I had 0% interaction with the fandom and had no follow of Vocaloid between then and halfway through 2009, when I came across Miku (it was a suprise to learn she was a Vocaloid, I'd have lurked in the fandom sooner if it didn't take a number of months to learn she was a Vocaloid as I kinda ignored her at first). I joined the fandom I think in Jan 2010. Halfway roughly through 2010 I re-wrote the Vocaloid wikipedia page and soon after came here.''

I lot of the issue has always been that a lot of the fandom in Japan, and their the biggest in-putters into Vocaloid, relies on the same 8 Vocaloids. Think about this, when Miku V3 first got released, she overstated the Yamaha servers with activation requests: no other Vocaloid has done that since or did it before.

You can do a quick search at Google Treds to see any Vocaloid trends, even Flower is following the typical trend.

This isn't always reliable due to some overlapping of interests, but you can get a rough guide at the "most popular" typical result.

With Miku instead of Cul.
