About Hatsune Miku
Hatsune Miku is a Japanese music sensation, a 16 year-old blue-haired girl with a unique voice and prodigious energy. What makes her special is that she is not a human singer, but a virtual persona who uses a computer-generated voice and 3D graphics to perform on stage. With a repertoire entirely provided by individual creators, she is the first truly crowd-created virtual talent. But being virtual doesn't stop her from filling up concert halls, or teaming up with major artists like
Lady Gaga and Pharrell Williams. Internationally popular, with over 2.5 million followers on Facebook, the increasing demand for concerts overseas paved the way to MIKU EXPO, a world tour that has so far taken her from Indonesia to Los Angeles, New York and Shanghai, with a memorable TV stop at the
David Letterman show.
About Piapro Characters
The Piapro Characters the official characters of singing voice synthesizer software developed and owned by Crypton
Future Media, Inc. "Piapro" is from a shortening of the Japanese pronunciation of "Peer Production" and expresses the meaning that "users who have a broad knowledge and various talents share these qualities with each other, and create something together." OMAKASE celebrates this creative spirit with a curated experience for anime fans, delivered directly through its innovative subscription service.
