Didn't expect that, but what a welcome surprise
For a sec there I was wondering if that was a April 1st joke but it's the 4th so that seems unlikely!
Wait...what?
Who is this character, and how did she become so ubiquitous?
- I didn’t know either, so a quick google revealed she’s the mascot for voice generation technology that’s over 15 years old.
  
  She’s especially famous for giving a live music performance where her likeness was projected onto a display.
  
  She may be the first virtual idol.
  
  I know nothing about the character, but it's sure possible to have some fun with even the old Vocaloid technology.

  Musical stuff starts at around 2:00
  
  Edit: I just realized if you're reading this and are interested into Vocaloid, this is not a representative video. It's just showing off a fun, cheap pocket synth.
  
  Huh interesting. I guess I've never understood the idol thing, much less a virtual one. I ask this in a totally non-judgmental and purely curious way: what's the appeal?
  
  Yeah I remember when this first happened, it felt a bit magical because while sure, the tech was around, this was the first time someone was doing it big. Virtual idols!
  
  Can't believe AI even taking over music and songs.
- I think she’s a woman that goes fax noises mixed with japanese
  
  Hatsune Miku does NOT talk to British people
  
  that's basically just the disappearance of hatsune miku
- I don't know exactly, but she did steal a leek from Orihime Inoue and that wasn't cool.
2 miku games in one year? VOCALOID IS GROWING
