Its the sort of situation some vocaloids can create because their fans don't have the entire big picture of the fandom, but only the little scope they've interacted with.

We're in a fandom where people still think Naru, Haku and Teto, at this stage, are Vocaloids... Or that the vocaloids are a band, game, anime, manga, etc, etc. Popularity is another thing caught up in the problems of the fandom. :-/ Trust me, I've been following Vocaloid since forever. About 2008-present, actually. And SeeU is one of the Vocaloids I've been monitoring since the beginning. She doesn't have this so-called "illusion status" you guys are talking about. And don't get me wrong, I'm certainly no die-hard "SeeU is the best and all the other Vocaloids SUCK!!!111!1! She's the most popular omg" type of fan. I've been tracking the Eastern fandom for a little while, making sure everythings dapper and all good there. Ha ha~ NicoNico hasn't really budged on SeeU, but CreCrew, Vocaloid Empire, Daum, Dongne and Pixiv have proven that she's DEFINITELY more popular in the East than she once was.

She is as popular as I think she is. I don't think she's the most popular of all time, as in, not the top 5, maybe not even top 10. I'm thinking more along the lines of top 15-20. But she's up there, for sure.

And I always cringe when I read those comments about Teto being a Vocaloid...or that Vocaloid is an...a-anime or manga...I'm a bit upset that there are still people out there who think that. :U
