this thread is very interesting! I've been covering vocaloid songs since 2009 (I was only 12yo that time lol but my latest cover was 4 years ago lol). I'm not popular, and yes I know why. I'm not doing collabs with other utaite, I'm not active, and I don't have good equipments. All I have in me is just my love for vocaloid songs and singing as a hobby(I'm not a good singer tho).

for some people, they became utaite because of their passion in singing. They never think of becoming popular. If you like to sing, you'll be better and better as time passed. As for me, I never thinking about popularity when I first upload my cover. I just like to sing, that's it. It's a bonus if people likes my cover and the views rising. I would be happy and love to see that too..

Maybe there's no giving up being utaite for me. Even though I'm now in hiatus, I'm still trying to improve my singingl and finding my voice genre.. singing with certain songs that fit my voice (I think this is important too!!) so that you have a strong characteristic that people will remember (something like branding I think?). If we recall the popular utaites out there.. they have their own voice character that makes them different and unique and worth to be loved. Once you get the love, you need to be active! And as the love keep rising, you can try different genre that could attract more people.

Being a real utaite is still one of my dream... I'm still learning about recording hardware and software too right now. I'll wait until I can make money and buy those things even though that means I need to wait till 5-6 years from now lol imthinkingaboutre-debutlol

Good luck for your friend!
