I once had some little drama around the Facebook side of the fandom because one admin at some page posted a (quite interesting) chart from Google Search (I'm not saying it's a proper source or point of comparison, just pointing it out since is related to the topic) and somehow, it seems like "Vocaloid" has much lesser hits nowadays compared to some years ago (around 2008-2011) while "Hatsune Miku" has far away more hits. Like, while Miku's popularity is increasing, the general Vocaloid popularity is decreasing (at least in Google Search)

This made me wonder how convenient was for the franchise to use Miku's image as an emblem. After all, Miku's merchandise, events and stuff rarely-towards-never mention "Vocaloid" anywhere.
