What / Who is Hatsune Miku
Hatsune Miku is a music software developed by Crypton Future Media, INC., which enables anyone to make their computer sing by entering lyrics and melodies. As a massive number of users created music using the software and posted their works on the Internet, Hatsune Miku quickly evolved into a cultural phenomenon. Since then, Hatsune Miku has gained much attention as a character, involved in many fields such as merchandising and live performance as a virtual singer. Now her popularity has spread across the globe.
*Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Megurine Luka, MEIKO and KAITO are also virtual singers developed by Crypton Future Media, INC.
For the longest time Hatsune Miku has been one of my favorite Anime characters. Funny thing is that she is not an Anime character at all. Hatsune is a specialized Holographic character who sings on stage in real life concerts. I Love music, singing (having sung in choirs in the past), and Anime. When I first saw her on You Tube I was blown away. You can't get much cuter. Below are two links. One to her website and another to her upcoming concert tour. The tour is all over North America and even here in my state, Michigan. I'm excited I have to see her in concert.

Feel free to post on this thread about your Love of Miku, any collectables you have, and especially if you have gone to one of her concerts. I happen to have Hatsune Miku Calendars, a beautiful Sakura Hatsune Miku Figure, and a Blu Ray of one of her concerts. Check out the Crunchyroll Website and You Tube for more on Hatsune Miku.

More Info!!
Hatsune Miku and Piapro Characters
“Hatsune Miku”, “Kagamine Rin”, “Kagamine Len”, “Megurine Luka”, “KAITO” and “MEIKO” (collectively called the “Piapro Characters”) are characters developed for a line of singing voice synthesizer products by Crypton Future Media, INC.
This software, which can recreate a singing voice carefully recorded and processed for each character, makes it possible to generate an entire song’s vocal parts by simply entering a melody and lyrics on your computer.
Shortly after the release of the software, fans and users started creating a massive amount of music and videos, and uploaded them on video-sharing websites. The publishing of these works stimulated the creative impulse of users to compose, remix, and further collaborate with each other on new projects.
Each character’s vocal expression is unique, and can be further edited according to the user’s sensibility and style. As Crypton Future Media’s CEO Hiroyuki Itoh says: “There are many different values and ways of thinking, so if there are 1,000,000 users then there should be 1,000,000 different ways of thinking.”
Moreover, these characters are not only featured in the artworks of many creators across the world, but they also come to life in 3D-projection concerts centered around their most iconic member Hatsune Miku, and their popularity is continuously spreading globally!
