The fandom dynamics are somewhat special since it is not based on a source text, and all media in it are by definition fan works. The Japanese Vocaloid fandom is very large and active, mostly on the social video-sharing platform NicoNicoDouga and on 2chan. Despite early adoption being mostly on the English side of the fandom, western interest has flagged since, whereas popularity took off to stratospheric heights in Japan with the release of version 2 of the Vocaloid software and introduction of "characters" for the voice banks, the first of which was "android diva" Hatsune Miku. The software is capable of pronouncing the English, Japanese, Spanish, Chinese, and Korean languages with the appropriate voice banks, and other languages in the process of being added. Vocaloid is a singing voice synthesis software.
