With today’s popular genre being pop music around the world, there’s multiple different other genres that many others should explore finding other genres they may enjoy. A robot can also sing and be wide around the world. A virtual robot many may know as Hatsune Miku is big around the world like other world wide artists, singing different genres of music even singing in different languages around the world, and having her own concerts. Miku was made in 2007 with a voicebank only for professional producers but with how big her popularity exploded later on Crypton took over claiming her adapting more vocals to her today.
Her own concerts are big in Japan when usually has seasonal concerts like right now for her 17th anniversary, Magical Mirai. Earlier this year in April, I had gone to one of her concerts, not expecting it would be crowded with so many people wanting to see her as well, with others having merch of her waiting while we went inside or dressing up as her in the many different outfits she has had over the years. It was even my first concert too, and I think it was one of my favorite concerts too. Usually at Mikus concerts she appears as a hologram in concerts which many enjoy, when doing concerts here earlier this year, she was on a TV but it was still very enjoyable even with actual guitarist, drummer, keyboardist and bassist. Not many songs would play but that's how most concerts are with at least 10-15 songs sometimes more.
With the different varieties of genres Miku sings from producers producing songs out of her, you can find your favorite genre from her or even pay to use Miku to tune your favorite song into her voice enjoying the song with her voice. I've listened to Miku for a decade now and have multiple favorite songs from different producers. Each producer has a unique way of tuning her and other voicebanks like her, usually known as Vocaloids. Songs you may have heard before from her are “PoPiPo” by LamazeP or “Miku” by Anamanaguchi. Some you may have heard through TikTok as many usually find songs through TikTok audios used on videos, sometimes many use songs from her.
You probably have seen Megan Thee Stallion cosplay as Miku on an ad she made for Amazon in July. Miku even pops up in games or videos you may watch on YouTube. From how big Hatsune Miku is around the world, she even gets her own merch fan made or not. Having different outfits for her figures, plushies, different art styles for any official art shown, even her own fans make their own shirts, pins, keychains, and other trinkets for others to enjoy. Some even go far and decorate their room with just items of Miku everywhere, some have one or a few figures while others might have all. She's like many famous artists around the world having their own merch and being able to go around the world to have concerts.
I listen to different types of songs from Miku and other Vocaloids singing in different languages other than Japanese. You may even know a song called “Magical Cure! Love Shot!” by Sawtowne as a specific part of the song blew up on TikTok, people animating characters or Miku or even just recording themselves doing the part of the song. Wanting to know Miku more and other songs from others I’d usually recommend looking for any genre with Vocaloid or with Miku on the search bar, maybe even just looking for a playlist looking for songs to listen to with her voice. Once finding the right song you enjoy, the producer always uses the same tuning and has the same genre for each song they make with her.
