Hatsune Miku is a 16-year-old virtual girl with long green pigtails and a voice with a range no human could ever hope to match. She is a simulated singer with a computer-synthesized voice, a work by four programmer-musicians who met on the Internet. Many of the songs she sang have proven to be so appealing that the music industry cannot ignore her. She has developed into a singer with a large worldwide following — you’ll see millions of fans with cold-light sticks…she is a planetary phenomenon and is assuredly the future of music. Imagine, no problematic quirky musicians to get into trouble, toss stuff out of hotel windows, get sent to rehab… well, actually, the virtual divas will definitely get sent to rehab, just because it’s such great publicity! Please allow me to introduce her to you:
