One of the reasons Miku became so popular is that she is a nothing but a synthesized voice that has no personality or appearance you have to stick to. Most of it is up to the music producers and illustrators. If you want, you could depict Miku as a blue dot. The famous Vocaloid producer Wowaka added abstract monochrome backgrounds to his Miku songs. I just don't see how you can fall in love with a voice that has no real personality. I love Miku a lot too, I'm a huge Vocaloid fan, but what I like most about Miku is her lack of personality. She is like a blank sheet you can use to create your own story. The sad thing is that this guy might claim that he is married to Miku, but if someone else bought her software and made her say how much she hates this guy, it would be equally true because no one can claim that they control the 'real version of Miku'. That aside, this guy seems pretty alright, and the interviewer seems respectful. EDIT: many people seem to think this guy is a pedophile since Miku's canon age is 16. I would like to clarify that many Vocaloid producers do not stick to Miku's canon age and depict her as older or younger in their songs, the same counts for the Kagamine twins. The canon ages of Vocaloids are points of reference: you can use them but you don't have to.
