==Items==
===Item Wars===
The "Item War" (持ち物戦争, Mochimono Sensou) was an event that used to be a regular occurrence amongst the VOCALOIDs, wherein every new VOCALOID was assigned an item. Items associated with VOCALOIDs began with Hatsune Miku via Hachune Miku in the song cover song "Ievan Polkka" and ended with the introduction of Tako Luka. However, the tradition of assigning items specifically for this purpose was started with the occurrence of KAITO and his rediscovery story which established ice cream as his popular item. This led to other attempts to make internet memes for the remaining VOCALOIDs to establish them with certain items, giving birth to the "Item War" wherein items were pushed to become official, leading to arguments and debates. 
Both Japanese and English VOCALOIDs had proposed items, though particularly in the English VOCALOID's case only "BIG AL + Penguin" managed to successfully see great usage. Crypton Future Media and Internet co.,Ltd both featured popular memes in merchandise.
By the VOCALOID4 era, reference to even the "confirmed" items had started to wane and by 2018 when VOCALOID5 was released, even Miku's spring onion meme was rarely mentioned.
