Why is the Vocaloid Hatsune Miku so popular? Well that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! If you guys don't know, Hatsune Miku is one of the most popular Vocaloids in the whole Vocaloid community. She's usually one of the first Vocaloids you hear about when you first enter the Vocaloid fan base, and people often pick her as their favorite Vocaloid. She also has more songs than any of the other Vocaloids. But, why is this? Even though Miku isn't the first Vocaloid, she is the first Vocaloid to be part of the Character Vocal series. Because of this, she has a defined age, weight, and height. A lot of other Vocaloids don't have this. Her popularity probably has something to do with her design as well. Whether it was intentional or not, Miku's design is reminiscent of the high school girls often seen in anime and manga. Since high school uniforms are very popular in anime and manga, it would make sense if this is part of the reason why Miku is popular. She also has twin tails, which are often seen as being cute. Along with this, Miku has a higher pitched voice. For some reason, a lot of Vocaloid fans seem to enjoy higher pitched voices as well. Miku has gained a lot of merchandise with her popularity too. Since there isn't as much merchandise for any of the other Vocaloids, this could also be part of the reason why Miku is so popular. But, these are just my thoughts on it. Nonetheless, I hope you guys still enjoy this blog post! As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of Hatsune Miku below. Enjoy!
