Honestly I don't get why they call it Hatsune Miku: Project Diva, Hatsune Miku: Project Diva 2nd, Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Extend, Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Arcade, MikuMikuDance, MikuMikuMoving, MikuMikuEffect, Mikubook, HatsuneMiku (YT Channel), Hatsune Miku (google) MikuPa 2009, MikuPa 2010, MikuPa 2011, MikuPa 2012, Save Miku, Miku formula, Hatsune Mix, Snow Miku, Cherry Miku, or pretty much any EXIT TUNES compilation with ft. Hatsune Miku when OBVIOUSLY there are other Vocaloids involved.

It's because Hatsune Miku is the "symbol" for Vocaloid, apparently.

-blankly glares at this wiki's banner, the MMD wiki's banner, the vocalyrics wiki banner, and the Vocaloid Answers wiki banner-

Hatsune Miku is "apparently everyone's favorite". And, truth be told I'm pretty sure MORE people know who Hatsune Miku is compared to what a Vocaloid is.

Heck, I've seen Hatsune Miku as a worldwide trending topic on twitter (wasn't on top though, it was fourth or something) but I've never seen Vocaloid a trending topic.

So, basically, in order to sell, comparing to say "Vocaloid", not many will recognize -shrug, I assume- but everyone recognize Hatsune Miku.

And to use the term "Vocaloid" it just gives an impression that EVERYONE is involved. Including V1, V2, and V3 Vocaloids. Hatsune Miku, well, there's a chance that other Cryptonloids are involved.
