You make it sound like the Kagamines are a niche vocal or something. "Only for the Kagamine fandom." I've seen Miku dedicated sites, sites the almost never mention VOCALOID but do in passing, and even an unrelated to VOCALOID site mentioned the Kagamine update. A few producers who have never used or even shown appeal to the Kagamines (or one who didn't even show interest in buying any Japanese VOCALOID) celebrated their desgin reveal and said they were excited for the update!

I'm not too fond of the Kagamines myself (though I do admit I have a soft spot for them because of how nice Asami Shimoda is) but there's no denying their pretty popular vocals. Miku-sized? Nah, but big enough to not shug thier update as "only interesting for the Kagamine fandom". I had to aviod tumblr since the first demo song for the Kagamines was released because it's all anyone's been talking about. And no, the VOCALOID blogs I follow aren't Kagamine central.

This is why I really do despise most top 10 vocals. On the one hand their overuse is annoying and their fans often worse, but then some people look at them and try to convice themselves that no one cares about 'em either.

Sorry for the rant. Just a thought dump I guess now. But seriously when people try to seem "cool" by altering the perception of the fandom to fit their wants it bugs me. Reminds me of the off-hand remark someone made about Miku V3 during its release saying that know one's talking about it and the only people remotely interested are people who don't really know VOCALOID.

(I also hope this doesn't paint me as a Kagamine fangirl or a person who only likes big VOCALOID, because it's not -- my personal favorites aren't even top ten, and I wish they got used more. //orz)
