▼ About 'Hatsune Miku' https://piapro.net/
Hatsune Miku is a vocal synthesis software developed and launched by Crypton Future Media in 2007. By inputting lyrics and melodies, users can make her sing. The character depicted on the package features distinctive turquoise twin-tails. Music created with this software was widely shared online, sparking a creative chain of illustrations, songs, and dances, eventually becoming a cultural phenomenon.
Today, Hatsune Miku has evolved into a 'virtual singer' active across multiple domains. Domestically, the event 'Hatsune Miku Magical Mirai,' which combines live concerts with creative exhibitions, has attracted over 580,000 attendees cumulatively since 2013. In 2026, it will be held in three cities: OSAKA, TOKYO, and HAMAMATSU. Internationally, the world tour series 'HATSUNE MIKU EXPO' has performed 139 shows across 55 cities. In 2026, the North American tour has already concluded, with a European tour scheduled for November. Beyond events, various collaborations with traditional arts and renowned artists continue to expand globally.
※ 'Kagamine Rin,' 'Kagamine Len,' 'Megurine Luka,' 'MEIKO,' and 'KAITO' are also virtual singers developed by Crypton Future Media.
