Hatsune Miku (Japanese: 初音（はつね）ミク), sometimes referred to as Miku Hatsune, is the anthropomorphic image of the voice library software planned, developed and distributed by Crypton Future Media, using YAMAHA's VOCALOID engine and Crypton's NT engine.

She is the first of Crypton's "Character Vocal Series", with her codename being "CV01".

Name

As early as June 30, 2007, or before that, Miku's image was released to the public, but she had no surname at the time, and was just called "Miku" (ミク). On July 12, 2007, she was given the surname Hatsune (初音（はつね）).

"Hatsune" (初音) means "the first sound", the "sound" in this case being the singing voice. At the same time, "Hatsune" also means "starting point". And Miku (ミク), which is an alternate reading of mirai (未来（みらい）), meaning "future", represents the future possibilities of music that VOCALOID represents.

Thus, "Hatsune Miku" means "the first sound from the future".

Vocal

Miku's vocal sample is provided by Saki Fujita after considering about nearly 500 vocal samples, because Fujita's voice is "clear and cute"（分かりやすくかわいらしかった）[2]. When recording, Saki speaks at a "cute idol voice". The process took 2 days and 3 hours per day, and the recording context is meaningless combinations of romaji[3]. The demo song produced with the vocal surprised Fujita, and she thought it was "very cute"[3]. In fact, the voice produced with the vocal is not at all similar to Fujita's own voice, though she could imitate it anyway[4].

Versions & Settings

Note: Only official settings are listed here. According to the open attitude of the VOCALOID community, Hatsune Miku may have a variety of secondary settings.

V2

Hatsune Miku Append illustrated by Masaki Asai

The official setting of Hatsune Miku (V2) was created by the artist KEI. The reason that KEI was chosen is because Crypton thinks his drawings are "transparent"[2].

  • She has aquamarine twintails, and the clothing and the machinery are based on the DX7 synthesizer released in 1983 by YAMAHA[2].
  • The red characters "01" on her left arm is set to be a QR code (Along with the supplement of her clothes by DIVA series, the Logo of "01" would also be moved to proper positions or removed according to the features of the clothes), while her original outfit consisted of a sailor but changed to the present design because Crypton was not satisfied with that[2].

The library of Hatsune Miku V2 was released on August 31st, 2007, and the prize was 15,750 yen, thus the day was defined as Miku's birthday[5]。

Miku's voicebank at the begining suits idol pop and dance music the most, and has a optimum tempo of 70~150 bpm, a range of expertise of A3~E5[6]。

There are at total 3 demo songs: Ballade, Kakurenbo (かくれんぼ) and Pops. None of the three songs is a full version.

Append

Miku (V2) used to have only one timbre after the first release, but on April 30th, 2010, the appending library "Hatsune Miku Append" was released, adding six timbres[6][7].

The official design of upgraded Hatsune Miku Append was created by Masaki Asai.

  • The costume became more fictional overall, and the twintails continued to exist while the headphones disappeared. The hair became greener compared to the V2 version and the sleeves became tighter. The "01" LOGO on her left arm was retained.
  • The tie became imbedded in the doublet (which in the DIVA version is ON the doublet); the skirt was changed from a short pleated skirt of V2 to one consisting of the extension of the bodice and some fictional ornaments and widgets attached to it, on the widget at the back of her waist, there is a black wire extending in the shape of tail (which was ignored by some versions of models).
  • She doesn't wear shoes, and has a white foot ring with a "Crypton" logo on her left ankle.
