People are also reading… On Friday, thousands of people packed a concert hall in a Tokyo suburb to watch their virtual idol dance and sing while accompanied by human musicians. Miku's voice was synthesized based on the voice of Saki Fujita, a human singer, actor and voice actor. Whether being 16 makes a technology outdated or a classic is up to the beholder. While Hatsune Miku, whose name translates to"first note from the future," pioneered a genre, many other Vocaloids are now on the market. The technology has advanced since Miku's early days, with all kinds of voices and features available.
Unlike Mickey Mouse, Super Mario and other copyright-protected characters, Hatsune Miku was offered as open-source software, with a Creative Commons license in the West that allows people to more freely use and distribute the content they make with the software.
