Nonetheless I bought the tickets which got sold out pretty fast, the management even had to open up more tickets during the actual day to accommodate more Miku fans!

It was a very short clip, wasn't an actual projection screen or a hologram-like concert, but nonetheless, it was amazing to see Miku 'programmed' for Singapore viewers! My next concert experience with Miku was in 2011 where it was the real hologram-projection-screen concert that was made famous in Japan and they were bringing it to Singapore at AFA 2011. Later in that same year, Miku performed in her very first overseas concert here in Singapore at AFA 2009. It was a revolutionary technological breakthrough that no one knew that even such virtual concerts could have such popularity. A projection of Miku moving about, singing and dancing along as though she was performing in a real concert while having a real band perfoming her music at the back. It was only just in 2009 that Miku started to appear on the screens, and that was where the world got introduced to this 'virtual concert'.

Most of the 1st few Miku songs that I've heard were composed by Ryo from Supercell so I guess thats why Supercell has that special touch with Miku to me. Supercell later started to stream into the music industry as a actual music band, not only producing music with actual vocalists but more Miku songs as well. Sony Music later took notice of them after their songs became very popular in Nico Nico. The group started out by making music through Miku and released their first Miku album in 2008, which consisted of Melt, Black Rock Shooter, World is Mine, Love is War and many others. Supercell is a doujin music group and consisted of singers, illustrators and song writers. I honestly wasn't expecting BRS to be adapted as an animation but was hoping that it would. The song 'Black Rock Shooter' was also one of the first few Miku songs that I've heard and I would say that I've waited many years before BRS got noticed by animation companies and decided to make an OVA for her. Through the song, huke's illustrations caught the eyes of many as well and he was later drawing for the original characters of Nitroplus's Steins Gate which also became famous for its amazing art and storyline and later spawned many merchandises as well.

Ryo from Supercell took notice of this character and got inspired to make a song about Black Rock Shooter which later became a hit among many and BRS started getting popular spawning an original video animation or OVA for short, a TV anime series, a game and many other merchandises. Huke is an illustrator that has worked for companies before becoming a freelance illustrator and on one day he created this original character called Black Rock Shooter. These are 2 examples for which I'm most familiar with: huke and Supercell. Not only did people contributed to the songs under Hatsune Miku, Miku has since made a difference to many. Hatsune Miku was mainly made popular over Nico Nico Douga, where people started uploading their own songs, sung by Miku, which then later included Youtube as well and Miku's popularity started climbing. Then the next question would be, just how popular is she? This is a computer program singing, not a real person. As Miku is a Japanese vocaloid, she isn't actually capable of pronouncing english words clearly, which later versions of her started to improve on that, until today's latest version 3 of Hatsune Miku which has her english capabilities enhanced.įor some people who hear Miku for the very first time, what commonly comes out of their mouth was that this singer's songs are all auto-tuned! Well, duh. For Miku, her voice comes from a seiyuu, Saki Fujita. For example, one only need to input lyrics of a certain song into the program, adjust the pitches / tone / length to sing that particular note etc, and woola, you just made the program sing your very own song!įor each Vocaloid, such as Miku herself, she has her own special voice bank, with the voice data provided by a real singer.

The Vocaloid Software is a program that enables users to make the program 'sing' their songs for them. Nope, she's still not an anime character, to be precise, she's a persona created for a Singing Synthesizer program called the Vocaloid Software. So just who exactly is this girl? Is she from an anime or a cartoon? A mere gif image? For those that have not yet heard of her, she is Hatsune Miku, a Vocaloid created by Crypton Future Media. That sparked my curiosity which later not just made me a fan of Miku but also of this revolutionary technology. what? just who is this girl swinging this leek around?' The first time I saw Miku was through this video I saw on Youtube:

Looking back, I first got to know about Hatsune Miku around 2008, that's like about 6 years ago and all the craze about her is still going strong, not only in Japan but also on an international level.
