Hatsune Miku
Comments1kthis wiki
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hatsune Miku (初音ミク) is the first Japanese Vocaloid2 in the Vocaloid2 Character Vocal Series, the third Japanese Vocaloid created by Crypton Future Media, and is the seventh Vocaloid to have appeared overall; released on August 31, 2007. She is considered as the most popular and well known Vocaloid and the first to become a pop idol. The data for the voice was created by sampling the voice of Saki Fujita (藤田 咲, Fujita Saki), a Japanese voice actress.[1][2]

Concept
Edit
Crypton had the idea to release Miku as "an android diva in the near-future world where songs are lost."[3][4] When KEI illustrated Miku, he was asked to draw Miku as an android and a color scheme to go off of (based on YAMAHA synthesizer's signature blue-green color). Crypton also provided KEI her detailed concepts, however, Crypton says it was not easy to explain what a "Vocaloid" was like to him, and KEI says he could not create an image of a "singing computer" at first, as he did not even know what a "synthesizer" was. It took him more than a month. [5] The digital design on Miku's skirt and boots are based off synthesizer program colours and the bars represent the actual bars within the program, following Crypton's idea. Part of her design is based on some of Yamaha's keyboard models, particularly the DX-100 and the DX-7.[6][7]
Miku was originally intended to have a different hairstyle, but KEI stuck to pigtails after trying them out. Her pigtails have since become a iconic status of her design. On June 22 2012, Hatsune Miku's Twin tails even earned her the title of the Twin Tail which best represented the 2000s, marking her the best set of Twin Tails in the dawn of the 21st century. She now shares her twin tail distinction with other characters like Sailor Moon (who won best Twin Tails for the 90s period).[8]
After an Internet Meme involving Hachune Miku, Miku was associated with a spring onion (often mistaken for a leek due to the similar appearance). This along with Kaito's discovery started a habit called "the Item War" where it became traditional for new Vocaloids to have an item assigned to them and the items were debated on until one stuck via an Internet Meme.
The thin squares around her pigtails are futuristic ribbons made of a special material that float in place. As seen in Kei's art for Miku, they are able to hold Miku's pigtails in place without having to physically touch the hair itself. The ribbons are also reported by Kei to be the hardest item on the character's design for cosplayers to recreate.
EtymologyEdit
The name of the title and the character of the software was chosen by combining Hatsu (初, first), Ne (音, sound), and Miku (ミク, future) thus meaning "the first sound from the future."

MarketingEdit
Added by Angel EmfrblMiku's inital marketing was similar to past software synthesizers and Vocaloid voicebanks, as this was standard marketing at her time of release for Vocaloids. She was originally aimed only at professional producers; the amateur and Otaku market hadn't fully formed yet, and so it was not initially considered or factored in.[9] Her unexpected success was owed more to the creativity of fans, who experimented with her vocals and created songs that, in turn, influenced others to do the same. This provided Crypton with the chance to take advantage of early technical support for Miku and several guidebooks and magazine support were released souly focused on her vocals. This type of technical coverage was even possible long after Miku's inital release and methods of adapting her vocals are the most well documented amongst the Vocaloid2 era vocals.
Since the success of her voicebank led to an expansion of marketing possibilities, most of the mass marketing has come after her release and as a response to her popularity. Even with the addition of other Character Vocals, Miku's name continues to be used as the primary source of marketing for Crypton Future Media, to the point where most products for their Vocaloids will usually only feature Miku's name, despite the inclusion of other Crypton Vocaloids in the product. In March 2012, the Nomura Research Institute estimated that the sales of all "Hatsune Miku" brand goods added up into the region of ¥10,000,000,000 since her release in 2007[10], the result of Miku's marketing success is that her name is now the easiest of the Vocaloids to market. Also owed to her popularity, many vocaloid related products such as piano sheet music packs, books, and magazines carry her image on the front cover. Between Jan 28 2013 a 3 day survey was run by Tokyo Polytechnic University. During the survey (based on ages 12-38) 95% of those entering reported knowing who Hatsune Miku was, in comparison participants barely knew who Megpoid, IA or Aoki Lapis were.[11]
Corolla Miku, presented in 2011, has a slightly different attire than KEI's original design: instead of one skirt stripe and single floating ribbons, she now has two, as was intended by the client.
In 2011, Crypton began to focus on marketing Miku to the U.S. audiences. On May 7, USAmazon placed a preview of Supercell's hit song "World is Mine" as a single. When the song finally went on sale, it came 7th in the top 10 World singles list on iTunes in its first week of sales.[12] The entry was presented as "The World is Mine Feat. Hatsune Miku". Crypton had to consider who they were aiming the advertisements of Miku at, mostly at the web fanbase, and had to check the differences between the Japanese and English fanbases. Since Crypton always sold Miku as a virtual instrument in Japan, they asked their Japanese fan base if it was acceptable for them to sell her as a virtual singer to the new market audience.[13] The main purpose of the Miku English version is to allow Japanese producers to break into the west and expand their audiences.[14]
Crypton Future Media do not approve of using Miku for politics. This is so far one of the biggest areas of marketing that Miku has avoided being used for.[15]

MangaEdit
A manga called Maker Hikōshiki Hatsune Mix began serialization in the Japanese manga magazine Comic Rush on November 26, 2007, published by Jive. The manga is drawn by Kei, the original character designer for Miku. A second manga called "Hachune Miku no Nichijō Roipara!" drawn by Ontama began serialization in the manga magazine Comp Ace on December 26, 2007, published by Kadokawa Shoten. Miku sometimes wears glasses in the manga, and Rin and Len call her "onee-chan"(big sister). A yonkoma webcomic made by artist Minami called Chibi Miku-san can be found on his webpage, as well as on third party sites. [16][17]
ClothingEdit
She has appeared on T-shirt designs, often to promote Miku herself or particular albums by Producers.
In 2011, Piapro held a contest with members to design Goth Lolita clothing for Vocaloids, the designs were produced by the company Putumayo. Amongst the winners were designs based on Miku's own attaire.[18]
An official cosplay outfit has been produced.[19]
A Miku motif hat with mittens is currently available for pre-order. A bear face is at the back. It is produced by AmiAmi.[20]
ACOS have also produced an official cosplay outfit + wig.[21]
In December 2012, Miku items also appeared in the "earth music & ecology Japan Label".[22]
FigurinesEdit
Miku's popularity has led to numerous figurines based on her image. Many are inspired by PVs made by fans and Vocaloid users.
For Miku's Append, a standard figurine was produced, as well as both Figma and Nendoroid figurines.
A special version of Miku "Snow Miku" has also seen a number of figurines. This started out as a special seasonal Nendoroid but has since been updated to add joints and become a Pullip doll alongside Kagamine Rin and Kagamine Len. After the Earthquake in Japan in 2011, both a figure and Nendroid "support" version of Miku were made with donations going to the Japanese Red Cross for every sale. Due to the popularity of the Lucky Star Kagami cosplay scene in the OVA, both a nendoroid and a figma version of the character dressed as Hatsune Miku were produced. A figurine from the "Soul of Chogokin" series of figurines made by Bandai were also produced as a special release. As a cross over, a figurine of Miku based on Fei-Yen from “Cyber Troopers Virtual-On: Operation Moongate” a game made by SEGA, was also released. The release was because SEGA owned the rights to produce games based on the Crypton Future Media Vocaloids and had also previously produced other models based on Miku as part of promotions for the game "Project Diva".
Many of the figurines have been made based on the Crypton fanbase input, such as both a standard and DX "Love is War" figurines being released in 2011. Other releases include VN02, a figurine based on the MMD "Lat" model and "The World is Mine," to name but a few examples.
She also had a Tony Taka model. A note about this particular model is that it can be stripped down until Miku was in just her underwear as her clothes were layered; these could also be removed to leave her as a Makaizou model, but this will damage the model in the process.[23]
The Good Smile racing company have also produced figurines every year since 2009. These have been special releases not set for overseas shipping and can only be bought with a season ticket. She also had a couple of figurines amongst the Prize Fair figurines in September 2011.[24]She also has had several resin kits made for her. In December 2010, Brindle made two such kits. During the Winter Wonderfest 2011, a White Miku figurine was produced by Polygonia. In the Summer Wonderfest 2011, Replyfrom made a non-scale resin kit for Miku and Polygonia made a 1/7 scale model.[25][26] Honeycomb also produced an Append Miku figurine at the 2011 Winter event earlier that year and the model was tweaked and reissued for the summer event.[27][28] During the May 2011 Treasure-Festa, an Append non-scale kit was produced by Ambivalent.[29]
Snow Miku 2013 version will be sold at Sapporo during the Snow Miku event. This figure will also be sold as Hokkaido Figure Miyage, a special capsule toy, from February 2013. Snow Miku trains will also run in Sapporo from December 17, 2012 to March 17, 2013. Toy models of the Snow Miku Trains from both 2012 and 2013 will be sold at the Snow Miku event in March 2013.[30]
Unfortunately, her popularity has led to a number of bootleg goods being produced, particularly towards Nendoroid and Figma models.

ConcertsEdit
Miku and other Vocaloids began to appear in concerts in Japan 2009. Hatsune Miku performed her first "live" concert like a virtual idol on a projection screen during Animelo Summer Live at the Saitama Super Arena on August 22, 2009.[41][42] At the "MikuFes '09 (Summer)" event on August 31, 2009, her image was screened by rear projection on a mostly-transparent screen.[43] Miku also performed her first overseas live concert on November 21, 2009, during Anime Festival Asia (AFA) in Singapore.[44][45] On March 9, 2010, Miku's first solo live performance titled "Miku no Hi Kanshasai 39's Giving Day"「ミクの日感謝祭 39's Giving Day Project DIVA presents 初音ミク・ソロコンサート～こんばんは、初音ミクです。～」 was opened at the Zepp Tokyo in Odaiba, Tokyo.[46][47] The tour was run as part of promotions for Sega's Hatsune Miku: Project Diva video game in March 2010.[48] The success and possibility of these tours is owed to the popularity of Hatsune Miku and so far Crypton is the only studio to have established a world tour of their Vocaloids, which led to subsequent concerts to be premiered on March 9.
Later, the CEO of Crypton Future Media appeared in San Francisco at the start of the San Francisco tour where the first Hatsune Miku concert was hosted in North America on September 18, 2010, featuring songs provided by the Miku software voice.[49][50] A second screening of the concert was on October 11, 2010 in the San Francisco Viz Cinema. A screening of the concert was also shown in New York City in the city's New York Anime Festival.[51] Hiroyuki Ito, and planner/producer, Wataru Sasaki, who were responsible for Miku's creation, attended an event on October 8, 2010 at the festival.[52][53] Videos of her performance are due to be released worldwide.[54]
Miku's Los Angeles concert sold out on the 26th of May 2011. Not only was she the first singer to sell out but this was the only time AX, the company in charge of selling her tickets, had ever sold out. This also caused a huge fan outroar on the AX forums, as usually AX tickets did not sell out and because of the numerous spare tickets it had been possible to enter a concert for free if you turned up 10 minutes before the show. Because there were no tickets left, regulars who had expected to be able to get in for free on the day had not expected to be able to not get into the concert at all.[55] Because demand was so high AX are currently looking to book more seats. Previously, only the first floor seats were booked as those were the seats where viewing the Vocaloid concert's hologram-like visual was most optimal. However, they had been trying to ascertain if the balcony seats would suffice and if more tickets could be sold. [56]
On March 9, 2011, Miku's 2nd Performance, "Hatsune Miku's Live Party 2011 39's Live in Tokyo"「初音ミク ライブパーティー 2011 -39’s LIVE IN TOKYO-」marked a new step in broadcasting concerts. Not only was the concert held at the same location Zepp Tokyo in Odaiba, Tokyo, it was also broadcasted into 15 others theaters within the vicinity of Japan, under the name "Hatsune Miku Live Party 2011 Live Viewing in Theater"「初音ミク ライブパーティ2011 ミクパ♪ 39's ライブビューイング イン シアター」. This particular concert did not use the traditional glass screen but a box screen to present Miku and the team.[57] The same concert was to be repeated in Yamaha's Home, Sapporo Hokkaido at Zepp Sapporo under the name "Hatsune Miku's Live Party 2011 39's Live in Sapporo"「初音ミク ライブパーティー 2011 -39’s LIVE IN SAPPORO-」, but was postponed due to the Great Japan Earthquake that occurred 2 days after the Tokyo Concert. [58] It wasn't until April 27 where details of the postponed concert was given. [59]
On July 2, 2011, Miku's first concert performance in the United States was held at the NOKIA Theater in Los Angeles, California, during the Anime Expo 2011 event. The concert was based on the "Miku no Hi Kanshasai 39's Giving Day" Concert, with improvements and new songs. [60]
On August 16 to 17, the postponed "Hatsune Miku's Live Party 2011 39's Live in Sapporo"「初音ミク ライブパーティー 2011 -39’s LIVE IN SAPPORO-」took place and was held for two days. It was held at the Sapporo Education and Culture Hall at Sapporo, Hokkaido. This concert had been redone and the transparent glass screen was once again implemented. The concert was not broadcasted on NicoNicoDouga unlike previous concerts.[61] It was broadcasted in the same theaters that broadcasted the last concert, but it included 2 additional theaters, one from Hong Kong and one from Taiwan. [62][63]
A sequel to the Sapporo Concert took place in Singapore on November 11, 2011 at the I Love Anisong Concert.[64] This marked her second visit to Singapore, with her performing at the 2010 I Love Anisong Concert. This was Rin, Len, and Luka's first visit, as the concert last year lacked them.
On February 10, 2012, Miku performed twice at the Snow Festival from Sapporo with a secret mini-concert that was not announced or broadcasted. This performance was the first time that she appeared singing outside.
Miku will also appear in the opera "THE END" on the 1st and 2nd of Decemeber. The outfits designed for this concert are done by Louis Vuitton and based off of the Mark Jacobs' spring/summer 2013 collection. Tickets for the event were publically put on sale on the 14th of Novemeber, however, sold out soon after.[65]
On February 9 and 10, 2013, Miku will have another concert called "初音ミク ライブパーティー 2013 in Sapporo 「ミクパ♪」 ("Hatsune Miku Live Party 2013 in Sapporo 'MikuPa♪'". A two day concert in Sapporo, Japan, during Snow Miku festival. MEIKO and KAITO will make an appearance as well.[66]
2013 is the fourth year in a row a concert will take place on March 9. The event, titled "初音ミク ライブパーティー 2013 in Kansai(ミクパ♪) (Hatsune Miku Live Party 2013 in Kansai (MikuPa♪) -39's Spring the 3rd Synthesis-" will be held in the Wakayama Prefecture, in Kansai, at the Wakayama Big Whale. As this is a collaboration with WOWOW, the show will also be broadcast live over WOWOW’s satellite channel. This is the first time an official Miku concert has been held in the Kansai region of Japan; previous concerts have been held in Tokyo (which is in the Kantou region of Japan) and Sapporo (which is in Hokkaido). It is expected to last for three hours.[67][68]

Additional informationEdit
PopularityEdit
Added by Angel EmfrblBefore Miku was released, Vocaloid was not much more than an obscure program. Nico Nico Douga played a fundamental role in the recognition and popularity of the software today. Soon after its release, users of Nico Nico Douga started posting videos with songs created by the software. According to Crypton, a popular video with a comically-altered Miku holding a spring/Welsh onion, singing Ievan Polkka, presented multifarious possibilities of applying the software in multimedia content creation. As recognition and popularity grew, Nico Nico Douga became a place for collaborate content creation. Popular original songs written by a user would generate illustrations, animation in 2D and 3D, and remixes by other users. Other creators would show their unfinished work and ask for ideas.
The initial sales of Hatsune Miku were so high that Tokyo could not keep up with the demand. In the first 12 days of sale, nearly 3,000 sales reservations were made. This was around one sale in 250 in the music software industry, quoted as "an impossible number" by Wataru Sasaki—the person in charge of the planning and production company 'surprise'. Amazon.co.jp stated on September 12, 2007 that they had sales of Hatsune Miku totaling 57,500,001 yen, making her the number one selling software of that time.[102] It was confirmed in her first year alone, Miku sold 40,000+ units.[103] Later reports came that she had sold 60,000+ copies of her software, normally selling 1,000 copies of a synthesizing software was considered good business.[104] Because of Miku's success, Crypton Future Media were able to open up their services to allow more support for their Vocaloids, including websites such as Piapro and Karen-T, concerts and merchandise. By 2009, some were referring to her as Vocaloid's first "Diva". In 2010, Crypton Future Media produced a ranking of the Vocaloids they sold on their website.
Miku has remained the fan favorite amongst the Japanese fandom, having the strongest following and usage even after the release of much better Vocaloids from her era. Her popularity was so high that when GazettE’s Aoi made a negative comment on her through twitter, he was immediately met with outraged fans and was forced to retract some of his comments after trying out the software for himself. Indeed most of the more popular songs for Vocaloid are sung by Miku and she has more hit songs on Nico Nico Douga than any other Vocaloid. Merchandise for Miku is plenty and often sells well due to her popularity; by 2009 most of the merchandise released for Vocaloid was Miku. All of Crypton Future Media's promotions also centered on Miku's image. As she is the most popular Vocaloid and the most commonly used, she is the most associated with the software and is regarded as the first true "Vocaloid Diva Star".
Hatsune Miku's popularity had major impact on the development of other Crypton Future Media voicebanks. Because of the high demand for her voicebank and character image, Crypton were caught up by the overwhelming popularity and demand for her vocal and character image. This caused delays to other Vocaloid 2 projects, including the release of a additional character. How much impact her popularity has had on other Vocaloid voicebanks is unknown, but Crypton Future Media has many delayed voicebanks that were originally set for a Vocaloid 2 release.
An independent Vocaloid search on Nico Nico Douga revealed that most Vocaloids had less then 1,000 videos uploaded on Nico Nico Douga in between July 1 and December 15 2011. Miku, however, had managed to gain 9904 uploads to the site during this period making her number one in video submissions for Vocaloid related videos. She also had the highest number of total views during this period with 23847081 views and 1943303 mylists. However, Miku was put in 3rd place on average number of views per video with 2407.82 views per video (and 196.21 mylists). However, a comment led by the report noted that due to the popularity of the most famous Producers it was much harder to conduct the report. When the mean number was conducted, which was a more accurate report of the Vocaloids during this period, Miku did not even make it into the top 6 Vocaloids despite having consistant no.1s throughout this period.[105]
Her design has also influenced the Vocaloid mascot designs of other companies, creating common design influence that divides fans opinions on character design. Her design has also spawned many producer based derivatives. She is the most common Vocaloid to receive derivatives due to the popularity of her voicebank and heavy promotions by Crypton Future Media.
In 2012, a poll was held for the London Olympic Games 2012 which asked people which singer or group they would like to see at the Olympics. Miku reached the no.1 spot, beating popular singers such as Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber. The poll was not offical and was done for popularity reasons.[106]
Those against Vocaloid or skeptical on it cite Hatsune Miku's vocal as a reason for their feelings against Vocaloid. A common negative reaction towards her centers on her high pitched vocals, labelling her as sounding like a "chipmunk", as it is not normal for a singer to be able to reach notes so high so easily. In turn this can led to incorrect presumptions on the software itself; a common stereotype of Vocaloid is that all Vocals are as high pitched as Miku herself. However, most Vocaloids cannot reach Miku's notes, the only Vocaloid capable of reaching her same notes during the Vocaloid 2 era was Prima , who does not have the same vocal pitching or vocal type as Miku. So for those who are not impressed by Miku, she can often end up being the source of anti-Vocaloid opinions.
Added by Angel EmfrblMiku's Append was not as well received as her original voicebank, though it managed to stay in the top ten products from Crypton Future Media. It may also disappear from the list entirely from time to time. However, it has been known to have reached the top 3 products on occasion, as well as knock other CV vocals further down the charts.[107] Miku was ranked as the no.1 Vocaloid product they sold and despite drifting between ranks on their product list her Append managed to grab 2nd place.[108]
TriviaEdit
- Because she is the first Vocaloid many got to know and the first to draw a large amount of attention, there are a number of common misconceptions;
- Miku is often mistaken as the very first Vocaloid ever produced by those new or unfamiliar to the software's history, or the first Vocaloid 2 released. While she was the first Vocaloid 2 to be released for the Japanese market, it was PowerFX's Sweet Ann who claimed the place as the first Vocaloid 2 to be released, she was released 2 months prior to Miku. When Miku became more known in 2010, the media also incorrectly labelled her as this as well. On more than one occasion Crypton Future Media have labelled her as the first, though this is likely an error as they usually introduce her as "the first of the character vocal series".
- Since 2010, Miku has won the classification of "Virtual Diva" and has become a pop star in her own right. However, some reports mislabel her as "the first virtual star" when other "virtual stars" have been released prior to her existence as early as the mid-1990s, although these "stars" never rose to the level of popularity Miku has reached.
- Miku is also not the first Vocaloid to debut in America as Zero-G's Vocaloids were already on sale before her. However, all previous Vocaloids failed to make an impact in America.
- Miku is also not the first to have an avatar, the first was Sweet Ann who was based on "the bride of Frankenstein", though Miku was the first to have a profile and expand on the concept of an avatar. Leon and Lola did not feature a character on their boxart, Miriam had a blurred photo of Miriam Stockley. Though Kaito and Meiko had characters on their boxart, they were not originally meant to represent their vocals.
- She was also not the first to feature in a "live" concert, Miriam had the first in 2004. However, Miku was the first to actually feature herself "live" in the concert whereas Miriam's concert featured just her vocal.
- Sound Horizon, a popular band that uses music to tell stories, used Miku Hatsune in their third single "Ido e Itaru Mori e Itaru Ido" and its corresponding album, "Marchen". Saki Fujita, the voice actor, also does narrations.
- With a total of 7 voicebanks released, Miku ties in 2nd place with Gumi in total number of released vocals.
- Miku's signature item is a spring onion, though many have often confused it with a leek due to their similar appearances. This mistake is even found in a couple of the Project DIVA games and other games by SEGA.
