Another year has passed again and it’s the time of our annual statistical report.
The year 2017 was a little more special with the 10th anniversary of the most recognized Vocaloid – Hatsune Miku. We got to see a vast amount of the songs (and albums) that were published in the celebration of the two-digit milestone. The event page on VocaDB lists a total of 229 songs and 40 albums released around the date of Miku’s birthday.
According to the first work -tag, there were over 400 artists new to the vocaloid scene the past year. By comparison, the total number of active Vocaloid music producers was around 4 700.
