Why aren't there more officially recognized fan-made Vocaloids? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! I would also like to mention that I will only be talking about the Crypton Vocaloids, since they're the most well-known Vocaloids. Now then, on with the post! First of all, there are currently only three fan-made Vocaloids that have been officially recognized by Crypton Future Media. These Vocaloids are Sakine Meiko, Akita Neru, and Yowane Haku, and they all appear in the Project Diva games as extra content. Although it's amazing that any of the fan-made Vocaloids were officially recognized, there aren't very many of them. Along with this, two of the three derivatives are derived from Hatsune Miku. Even though Hatsune Miku is the most popular Vocaloid, there are other popular derivatives. For example, Meito, Taito, Akaito, and even Hatsune Mikuo continue to be popular derivatives. Despite this, none of them have been officially recognized yet. But, why is this? It could be because Crypton doesn't have permission to use them. However, if more popular derivatives were officially recognized, it may make the Project Diva games more popular. There could also be official merchandise made for them too, which would benefit both the fans and the company. However, that doesn't mean Crypton wouldn't need to gain permission to use them first. These are also mostly just my thoughts on this topic, and we still have to wait to see if any more fan-made Vocaloids will be officially recognized. Nonetheless, I hope you guys still enjoyed this blog post! As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of the extra characters from the Project Diva games below. Enjoy!
