The only pre-planned promotion was with DTM MAGAZINES November 2007 issue - due to the inclusion of a CD with the demo of Miku on it, this particular issue sold out. For the most part a large proportion was centered on DTM MAGAZINE, like MEIKO and KAITO before her since the readership of the magazine had greatly influenced those two past VOCALOIDs.

For example, while Max Factory models showing the uncensored version in their normal and Figma models, the Project Diva game series shy away from showing any exposure.įor more on VOCALOID relationships, see the FAQ. In many depictions, this bare strip of flesh is not shown and is covered. In the original design, there is a bare strip of flesh under the tie area. Her VOCALOID2 Append design is often subjected to censorship. This, along with KAITO's association with ice cream, started a discussion called "the Item War" within the VOCALOID fandom, where it became traditional for new VOCALOIDs to have an item assigned to them and the items were debated upon until one stuck via an Internet Meme. The ribbons are also reported by KEI to be the hardest item on the character's design for cosplayers to recreate.Īfter an internet meme involving Hachune Miku, Miku was associated with a spring onion (often mistaken for a leek due to the similar appearance). As seen in KEI's art for Miku, they are able to hold Miku's pigtails in place without having to physically touch the hair itself. The thin squares around her pigtails are futuristic ribbons made of a special material that floats in place. Part of her design is based on some of YAMAHA's keyboard models, particularly the DX-100 and the DX-7. The digital design on Miku's skirt and boots are based on synthesizer program colours, and the bars represent actual bars within the program, following Crypton's ideas. She now shares her twin tail distinction with other characters like Sailor Moon (who won best Twin Tails back in the 90s period). On June 22, 2012, Hatsune Miku's twin tails even earned her the title of the Twin Tail which best represented the 2000s, marking her the best set of Twin Tails from the dawn of the 21st century. Her pigtails have since become an iconic part of her design. Miku was originally intended to have a different hairstyle, but after trying out pigtails, KEI thought they were more suitable. It took him more than a month to complete the commission. KEI said he could not create an image of a "singing computer" at first, as he did not even know what a "synthesizer" was. Crypton also provided KEI with Miku's detailed concepts, however, Crypton said it was not easy to explain what a "Vocaloid" was to him. When KEI illustrated Miku, he was given a color scheme to work with (based on the YAMAHA synthesizers' signature blue-green colour) and was asked to draw Miku as an android. Her name in Chinese is "Chūyīn Wèilái" (Simplified Chinese: 初音未来 Traditional Chinese: 初音未來). Her codename of "CV01" means "Character Voice 01". It thus means "the first sound from the future." Her name was based on her concept of that when a sound is first spoken. The name was chosen by combining hatsu ( 初, "first"), ne ( 音, "sound"), and Miku ( 未来, a personal name that shares its spelling with the word for "future").

Ĭrypton had the idea to release Miku as "an android diva in the near-future world where songs are lost." Etymology While Crypton is focusing on their own program, they are still in collaboration with YAMAHA and will continue to sell VOCALOID products in parallel to the Piapro Studio editions. On August 31, 2019, Miku received her first voicebank outside of VOCALOID, that being Piapro Studio with her NT release.
