She's popular enough, lol

KAITO's early popularity is owed largely to memes and infamous personality portrayals. MEIKO didn't get this type of attention and even her 'drunkard hag' portrayal is a snag boring compared to her fellow CFM Vocaloids.

Using Merchandise to determine popularity is tricky. Miku has a lot of it because she is well known and companies are aware that people will likely buy figures of her so they have no hesitation about manufacturing them. Even people who don't like Miku buy the merch just to either have it as a collective or to sell it at a higher price.

And then you have the fact that how many people would recognize MEIKO as a Vocaloid based on her outfit alone? Without some snazzy appearance, her merchandise is just (again, to use the term) boring.

She gets quite a lot of usage even by those who have no idea how to work the voice bank. I believe now that she is being advertised, she will be getting more listeners and eventually fans. >_> even if some of those believe she is a 'New VOCALOID'. *sighs*
