Hatsune Miku

Hatsune Miku is the world's first virtual pop idol. Invented by Japan's Yamaha Corporation, Hatsune Miku is comprised of state-of-the-art holographic and vocal synthesizing technology that allows the virtual idol to dance and sing pitch perfect. Obviously, like any move on the part of technology to replace or surpass the quality of human skill, Hatsune Miku is a controversial addition to the pop music world, particularly in Japan's ultra-competitive pop market. However, audiences have been thrilled by the 3D hologram with a voice and appearance that puts much of her human competition to shame, and her growing number of fans look forward to experience what Hatsune Miku has in store for them next.
