Who is Hatsune Miku?

Hatsune Miku is a singing voice synthesizer featured in over 100,000 songs released around the world. She was the company's first Japanese Vocaloid to be made and distributed. Hatsune Miku means "The first Sound from the Future." The name she is presently known by was inspired by her conception of the first moment a sound is made. Saki Fujita, a voice actor from Japan, delivers her voice.

Hatsune Miku has had a unique journey from being a first Vocaloid software product to a popular collectively made android diva with a growing user base worldwide. She is commonly referred to as a "global icon" or "hub" because of how the Japanese producers' community marketing Miku and disseminates Miku-related content, Miku English version, Hatsune Miku append, and Vocaloid-related products on a global scale.

What is Sakura Miku?

Sakura Miku is the name of a Hatsune Miku Japanese Vocaloid module. Sakura Miku is a pink-themed alternate hue for Hatsune Miku, designed to symbolize the start of spring. Yuki Miku figurines made by Good Smile Company served as inspiration for this. Early fan art showed this Miku with pink trim and pink hair, which are Miku's standard appearance features. The official Nendoroid that was released in 2011 helped to "solidify" her appearance. Then in 2012, Crypton decided to adapt "Creative Commons License CC BY-NC" to the original illustrations of Hatsune Miku to support open creative activities worldwide. According to Crypton, a popular video with a comically-altered Hatsune Miku in a spring design, singing Ievan Polkka, presented many possibilities of using the software virtual instrument in multimedia content creation.

The ensemble includes a white sleeveless shirt with pink edge trimmings, a dark pink tie with a white sakura petal print, pink detachable sleeves, a pink skirt with white edge trimming, a matching belt strap, two cherries on the back of the shirt with their stems acting as bows, and pink boots with white soles. the digital design on Miku's skirt and boots is based on synthesizer program colors, and the bars represent actual bars within the character vocal series, following Crypton's ideas.

In addition, Miku's twin pigtails and left bang turn pink, with white and dark pink sakura petal motifs that are held in place by pink and white variations of her futuristic hairbands. Her headphones' handle becomes pink, and the earpads turn into white sakura petals. This figure's base is a transparent, pink sakura form with notches in each petal.
