I googled Hatsune Miku. For 2 months UA-cam kept showing me advertisements for leeks. Or green onions as we call them here. True story. It would be an advertisement for a grocery store and the picture would always be a green onion.
It's happened with a few/most of them I believe! Meiko has a bottle of alcohol, Kaito has ice cream, Luka has her tuna fish(and her tako luka), Rin has a steamroller - which was a joke and is now official, Len has a banana! They were a meme for so long that it became official
Correction/explanation for 1:50: While YAMAHA are indeed the ones behind the Vocaloid software itself, they don’t make most of the Vocaloids to use in it themselves (except from a few like VY1 and VY2). The majority of voicebanks are developed by third-parties instead. LOLA and LEON were created by the English company Zero-G, while MEIKO and KAITO were created by the Japanese company Crypton Future Media. This is why the former were only made for singing in English, and the latter for Japanese. When Vocaloid 2 dropped, the first voicebanks released were indeed Sweet Ann by Swedish company PowerFX (hence the name pun on ”Sweden” lol) and Hatsune Miku by Crypton, the same people behind MEIKO and KAITO (which is why you tend to see those three alongside the other ones Crypton developed later on, Rin, Len and Luka) In short, Sweet Ann and Miku are made by different companies from different countries. In the early days of Vocaloid, the western Vocaloids didn’t always have avatars (or had more of a western artstyle like Sweet Ann) and were targeted to professional musicians, while Crypton started the ”moe” anime avatar style trend with Miku, who was marketed towards more of a amateur, otaku crowd. I hope this makes sense! Lastly, about 17:40: the Momo version of Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya! is a cover by Momomomo-P, who actually happens to be Momo’s official illustrator! You can find the original cover on Nico under the url sm13455867 😊
I also want to point out the reason English vocaloids might've struggled is because it's harder to reproduce digitally. If you look up a chart of all Japanese hiragana characters, you basically have a list of every possible syllable that could ever exist in the language. All you had to do is record someone saying those characters at various pitches and you could recreate a singing voice easily. Compare that to English where even without considering different accents, pronunciation is WAY less consistent and phonemes blend together all the time. We also don't have an easy phonetic writing system like romaji, so even figuring out how producers would input specific phonemes, syllables, and/or words would be more difficult. TLDR: The Vocaloid technology just worked way better with the Japanese language.
@@FordKensaits also cause of the easter eggs in the animation, as well as its not just a segment of a song but the ENTIRE thing animated by channlecastation
As a Miku fan, I found this very informative. Learning about Miku's history never gets old. It makes me appreciate her growth and how much of a global impact she's made over the years. Great vid!
The closest "Miku hater" I've seen are people saying she's "overrated" but like, no duh. Miku is the face of Vocaloid, her design and everything is incredibly iconic, and no doubt Vocaloid wouldn't be as big as it is without her, she deserves it.
they exist and I assume some are responsible of the creation of the worst, degenerate and disgusting content featuring miku that my poor eyes witnessed.
Great video! There’s a few inaccuracies but for general knowledge and understanding it covers things really well. Also to confirm, Hoshi no Kakera aka 01_Ballad was the first song created for Miku as a demo, they have done an interview on the official channel with its creator. While I can’t confirm if the video itself was made for the same purpose, the song I can say for certain was and is the first Miku song ever written.
Seeing community-made aspects such a memes/fanloids appear in a official music vids, merchandise, and games is a beautiful sight to see. It shows that they value and respect their history
I dunno if anyone has already corrected you on this, but Calne Ca is actually pronounced "Kalk-nay Cah." She's also not a version of Miku, but her own person who likes to cosplay as Miku! Great video, you deserve more subs and views!
Dont forget when google have collaboration with Hatsune Miku using the song Tell Your World, I think that's when the western floodgates really open for Miku
While i agree with your point at 2:04 about attributing songs, Why Do I is not s great example to use there. Its clearly attributed to Set It Off, they just mention in the title that it features Miku.
I also worship LamazeP. He brings us Triple Baka, Fukkireta, Popipo and still more today. He's not just certified in the Internet Hall of Fame, he's a certified god.
5:15 I have been a vocaloid fan for 12 years and let me tell you you just had to be there when I was like 5-6 years old when I discovered Miku for the first time with this song. Like, I just saw this adorable anime girl with cyan hair dancing in the middle of the field with a leek in her hands, and I was like, oh yeah, Mother devoured. Give her her tens.
I had the first project diva from Japan on a region unlocked psp. I loved it to the point of obsession. Not like I wasn’t obsessed before which is what caused me to get it to begin with. This video was a nostalgia trip for me and brought back a lot of memories
Sorry that I'm gonna sound like a glazer, but I just wanna say that this is the most informative and well edited videos I've seen covering this particular topic. I couldn't help but share this to anyone who barely knows anything about Miku and Vocaloid as a whole. You did a good job 👍
This is such an awesome video. I'm too young to have grown up with Vocaloid, and had a pretty sheltered life on the internet. Despite that, I remember seeing some Miku videos years back. This stuff is so amazing, these are the kind of videos I love watching. I have increasingly grown fond of Vocaloid more than before. It really reminds me of the parts I really love with the internet, it's such an amazing bit of tech. PLEASE DO MORE MIKU VIDEOS thank you, it was so interesting and informative
Well, to be fair, OP went in post-Miku chronological order and probably didn't feel like adding one more. After Miku's initial release, the rest of the Japanese vocaloids that came after her were Rin and Len, Gakupo (who is extremely underrated, that it hurts), and Luka.
the thing i love about miku is, she dosen't have a particular lore or even design trait that is "canon". what i'm saying is, her design on the cover box of her voicebank was only there to get more sales, but the only thing that is really important with her is her voice. so if you want to change her design or personallity trait, you can. it's not just an head canon, bc there is no real canon to her
Just an FYI, the song "Why Do I" by Set It Off is a horrible example of not citing the producer who created the song. The song is literally a cover of the same titled song by the band Set It Off. Their name is literally in the description of the video, and posted by Set It Off's youtube account. Often in more mainstream pop artists, they may not put every single producer credit on the youtube video (e.g Brittney spears, there is no mention of the producer's name in the description of the music video of Toxic) description either. There could be a greater discussion about crediting producers, but this is not the classic example of "ignore the producer, say that Hatsune Miku made the song" you were looking for.
12:08 get down origin was ... what happens if you tilt an nintendo 64 game catridge... the physics go nuts for some reason, someone discovered it, mixed with the music "promisse" creating this meme, so despite the popularity of some of the remixes, the origins is that.
Miku is very nostalgic as someone who has grown up with the internet and was terminally online for a good chunk of my teens. Someone should start Mikuism, i'd follow it.
I've been a Vocaloid fan for 11years or so now and found this to be very informative and entertaining. Your right, there's ALOT more that could've been said, but the sparking interest factor is high for new and older fans. Loved it.
i never noticed nyan cat had miku's influence to it, and even less so did i expect there to be an ad with birdman's pixel art in it from mcdonald's japan crazy
I became invested into Miku when i played project sekai. Playing the game exposed me to more of her songs my personal favourite now is Senbonzakura, overall nice video :)
You leave Sweet Ann's design alone! When every vocalbank is a cute anime girl, the non-anime ones feel more unique. And the weird stitching across her neck feels more memorable then whatever was going on with the Taiwan port's costume.
This was super interesting and I genuinely would like more videos like this since I’m a new vocaloid fan and I don’t know a lot of the history or lore ^^
this video was rlly well done!! u reminded me of a bunch of shit from my childhood that i’d have forgotten otherwise 😭 u should definitely make a part 2 tho 🙏🏾🩷
As a person who loved electronic music growing up and producing stuff for fun, Hatsune Miku was like a weird fever dream come true. I also love how it basically "democratized" the likeness of a Pop Star Diva. Anyone could make a song with her voice, which probably helped push the whole community further. When I saw AI voice covers coming out, I immediately remembered Hatsune Miku and how that was mind-blowing to me as a teenager.
Great video but there are a few issues with it, most have been talked about already so I'll just say one. World is Mine is not the most popular vocaloid song.

i rememeber being likr 5 and just seeing a blue haired girl everywhere so j found out her name was hatsune miku and im 12 now and chose to listen to miku and its very good
Wouldn't go as far as say she became the face of internet but sure as hell became an iconic character and defined a era of the internet. Man i'm going to miss all the MMD shitposting that was going on back in the day too. 13:59 Calcium/Deino3330 mentioned letsgooo, his music videos back in the day were something else, and the music itself were nothing but bangers. Felt like i got taken back to 2007-2009's watching this video. Great documentary, subscribed.
She’s definitely an icon in the anime community for our time. Kinda like Naruto, Dbz and sailor moon. She’s one of the legendary faces to the community
One of my favorite pieces of fanloid media is a video by Tac MMD called 【MMD】初音ミクに会いに行くよ（LET'S GO SEE MIKU). It's one of the coolest Miku vids I've seen on UA-cam. Nearly every version of Miku from 2014 makes an appearance. There's also a sequel, but that was 6 years ago. I'm just praying for a part 3
[intro] (Hoo-hee-hoo) (Hoo-hee-hoo) (Hoo-hee-hoo) (Hoo-hee-hoo) [Verse 1] Miku, Miku, you can call me Miku Blue hair, blue tie, hiding in your Wi-Fi Open secrets, anyone can find me Hear your music running through my mind [Chorus] I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo [Refrain] I'm on top of the world because of you All I wanted to do is follow you I'll keep singing along to all of you I'll keep singing along [Chorus] I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo [Verse 2] Miku, Miku, what's it like to be you? 20/20, looking in the rear view Play me, break me, make me feel like Superman You can do anything you want [Instrumental Break] [Refrain] I'm on top of the world because of you All I wanted to do is follow you I'll keep singing along to all of you I'll keep singing along I'm on top of the world because of you I do nothing that they could never do I'll keep playing along with all of you I'll keep playing along [Chorus] I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Where were we walking together? I will see you in the end I'll take you where you've never been And bring you back again Listen to me with your eyes I'm watching you from in the sky If you forget I'll fade away I'm asking you to let me stay So bathe me in your magic light And keep it on in darkest night I need you here to keep me strong To live my life and sing along I'm waiting with you wide awake Like your expensive poison snake You found me here inside a dream Walk through the fire straight to me
Miku Miku oo wee oo Jokes aside, she's the embodiment of the concept of an early virtual moe avatar/idol. Not the first, but certainly one of the most remarkable. She basically was a stepping stone towards the Vtuber trend we have currently.

@@HatsuneM1ku01 Most times they are but this list is out of date now
Keep going don’t give up!!
i rememeber being likr 5 and just seeing a blue haired girl everywhere so j found out her name was hatsune miku and im 12 now and chose to listen to miku and its very good
Wouldn't go as far as say she became the face of internet but sure as hell became an iconic character and defined a era of the internet. Man i'm going to miss all the MMD shitposting that was going on back in the day too.
13:59 Calcium/Deino3330 mentioned letsgooo, his music videos back in the day were something else, and the music itself were nothing but bangers. Felt like i got taken back to 2007-2009's watching this video. Great documentary, subscribed.
She’s definitely an icon in the anime community for our time. Kinda like Naruto, Dbz and sailor moon. She’s one of the legendary faces to the community
One of my favorite pieces of fanloid media is a video by Tac MMD called 【MMD】初音ミクに会いに行くよ（LET'S GO SEE MIKU). It's one of the coolest Miku vids I've seen on UA-cam. Nearly every version of Miku from 2014 makes an appearance. There's also a sequel, but that was 6 years ago. I'm just praying for a part 3
I remember the mikudayo, it made me laugh for half an hour at least 😭😭😭
Thanks for the info!
Thanks, now i know a Little more about here :D
I remember skipping a vacation just to watch Miku on Letterman when she appeared on the late show.
i never knew vocaloids with this cool oml i am obsessed
Great video! I'm a big Miku fan and I learned a lot from this video
For the MikuMikuDance section, I love the "non-dancing/skits vids" 👀👌 Might check more of them out after this vid 😏
important history, this silly little blue haired character playing such a vital role in the history of mankind.
As someone whos loved vocaloid since like 2018 this is super cool :]
YAYAAYAYAY MIKU I LOVE MIKU I LOVE MIKU

[Verse 1]
Miku, Miku, you can call me Miku
Blue hair, blue tie, hiding in your Wi-Fi
Open secrets, anyone can find me
Hear your music running through my mind
[Chorus]
I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo
I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo
I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo
I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo

I'm on top of the world because of you
All I wanted to do is follow you
I'll keep singing along to all of you
I'll keep singing along
[Chorus]
I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo

[Verse 2]
Miku, Miku, what's it like to be you?
20/20, looking in the rear view
Play me, break me, make me feel like Superman
You can do anything you want
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
I'm on top of the world because of you
All I wanted to do is follow you
I'll keep singing along to all of you
I'll keep singing along
I'm on top of the world because of you
I do nothing that they could never do
I'll keep playing along with all of you
I'll keep playing along
[Chorus]
I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo
I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo
I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo
I'm thinking Miku, Miku, hoo-hee-hoo
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Where were we walking together?
I will see you in the end
I'll take you where you've never been
And bring you back again
Listen to me with your eyes
I'm watching you from in the sky
If you forget I'll fade away
I'm asking you to let me stay
So bathe me in your magic light
And keep it on in darkest night
I need you here to keep me strong
To live my life and sing along
I'm waiting with you wide awake
Like your expensive poison snake
You found me here inside a dream
Walk through the fire straight to me
Miku Miku oo wee oo
Jokes aside, she's the embodiment of the concept of an early virtual moe avatar/idol. Not the first, but certainly one of the most remarkable. She basically was a stepping stone towards the Vtuber trend we have currently.
