@CyborgGOAT; actually, Miku is the most popular Vocaloid in Japan, her name sells alone. Yukari, sadly isn't anywhere near her, in fact... Her closet rivals are usually ranked as Rin and Gumi and they are only 1/3-1/5 as popular. Most Japanese general population has only heard of Miku, the other Vocaloids they barely know of.

Basically, Miku's name and content is 8x that of any other Vocaloid -period-.There is no competition, and bothering CFM with protests over this don't make a lick of difference. 95% of all Vocaloid content is Miku themed, or focused above -all- other Vocaloids. I can faithfully say there has not been a single day since 2009 I have not seen her face plastered in my face, and I visit several Japanese fan sites a day for news + tabs. :-/

This is why even if I did like her vocal, I wouldn't find her herself interesting as you can't escape her. A lot of the time the other CFM only get a look in if they have merch released with her stuff as a set. Collectors then will collect all of them. But if they release her on her own, she mostly does well. Even broad world wide, she is overall still most popular, even if you discount the fact she is often the only vocaloid anyone has heard of.

I wish it was different, but the reality of the situation is what it is. I cannot stress this, as if you think its any different you really haven't seen the bigger picture. Its why if your like me and a Miku dislike, you just have to learn to live with her, as you can't really escape her. She is EVERYWHERE. =_=
