Vocaloid Firsts!
some facts in my queue are about how a VOCALOID was the first to be or do something. i worry that might get repetitive, so i decided to make a bonus post listing all those little achievements.
unfortunately, some vocaloids don't have much to work with so their firsts are very specific and not very impressive, but i included them anyway. those vocaloids are special in other ways and hopefully i can post about them another time!
as i mentioned, some of this stuff is already put in the queue as their own fact posts. i've decided to keep them there, mostly because i can't guarantee everyone reads and likes these bonus posts. i'm sorry if it seems repetitive or redundant to you.
also, most of these are from the "achievements" section of the vocaloid's page on vocaloid wiki. not all of these are complete lists, so you can feel free to look for yourself!
