Strictly speaking, you can’t meet her at all – she’s a hologram.
Miku is a computer application but that hasn’t stopped her from conquering the music world by playing to thousands at live concerts and getting millions of hits on YouTube.
Technically, she is a virtual music synthesiser programme which uses technology called Vocaloid to allow PC users to create their own music. Hatsune is a character from the Vocaloid series developed by Yamaha.
The software gives you ‘a singer in a box’, enabling users to synthesise singing by typing in lyrics and a melody. Users can add effects and change the voice tone and pronunciations.
Although intended for musicians, Vocaloid is popular with video artists. Japanese company Crypton Future Media took the technology and created the Miku avatar in 2007.
The name is made up of the Japanese for ‘first’ (hatsu), ‘sound’ (ne) and ‘future’ (miku). So now you know. She rose to popularity through the website Nico Nico Douga (smile smile video), a Japanese equivalent of YouTube. Users began making their own music using Miku and lent her voice to existing songs.
Miku’s voice is sampled from Japanese voice actress Saki Fujita. Different versions of the voice are available – from gentle to heartbroken.
Buoyed by the online success, the makers have brought her to the stage. She played her first gig in March and is projected as a 3D hologram to the audience in Gorillaz style. She ‘sings’ while a live band plays next to her.
The voice... well, it sounds like Morph shouting through a megaphone but it’s strangely addictive.
DVDs of her ‘live’ performances are to be released worldwide and she even has a video game.
‘Watching Miku sing live is pretty amazing,’ wrote one blogger.
‘The 3D “hologram” isn’t that impressive... but the crowd reaction is intense. How must it feel to be a musician and see this virtual character getting way more love than you?’
