This is an area of fandom I know that I am out of touch with (apologies [email protected]). However, I am glad to see that things like this are managing to find an audience outside Japan. For example, there was a good while where I thought Hatsune Miku was just a character that was created for anime figures and that was it.

I mean, as someone who listens to vocaloid artists every so often, the merch is the real money maker.
Like @[email protected] says, can confirm that Miku merch sells like crazy.
Even if I’m not familiar with any of her songs besides her cover of Ievan Polkka
Hatsune Miku is closer to a musical instrument in that many different musicians use her voice in many different kinds of songs.
Saying you are a fan of Miku (on a musical level) is roughly like saying you’re a fan of Trumpets.
I personally am into songs like Karakuri Pierrot. https://youtu.be/DDjcqu9uvUE
