Hatsune Miku

Hatsune Miku is a music software program developed by Crypton Future Media, INC., which enables anyone to make their computer sing by entering lyrics and melodies. As countless users created music with 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 and has been involved in many fields, including merchandising and live performances as a virtual singer. Today, her popularity has spread across the globe.
