Yes, I’m talking about the popular green hair leek wielding Vocaloid :D She been around for quite sometime, and honestly at first I shrugged it of as just a fad(it’s not :D). I think people round started growing more aware when composers become more proficient at creating songs with her, so apparently her fame increased.Then along came manga and perhaps a few steps shy of an anime series ^^.
Miku even has her own PSP game (Which I am hooked on at the moment, that explains this post doesn’t it ;) ). Songs I believe, are things that becomes nicer after hearing for a period of time(regardless voluntary or not) and especially after attaching meaning/memories to it.
There is a documentary(i think) on Miku Hatsune : here
Seeing how Miku’s songs has topped the charts more than once, I am convinced Vocaloid singers does have a place in the future music industry, a Sharon Apple perhaps?
