Hatsune Miku is she Live or is it more like Memorex?
Ok with that title I know I am showing my age but this I found really fascinating!
After acquiring the Vocaloid 2 engine from Yamaha, Crypton Future Media began to develop their third Vocaloid. During this period the company decided to take a different approach to that used by the English company Zero-G who had also been releasing Vocaloids using the original Vocaloid engine. It was decided that to make the product successful not only would a highly appealing voice need to be developed but that voice needed an image. In this way the target focus for Crypton's Vocaloids changed from high end music studios to the general public, specifically teenagers.
The task of coming up with Miku's image went to the manga artist Kei. When Kei designed Miku, his only direction was that Miku was an android and her colors (based on YAMAHA synthesizer's signature blue-green color). The digital design on Miku's skirt and boots are based off synthesizer program colors and the bars represent the actual bars within the program. Miku was originally intended to have a different hairstyle, but Kei stuck to pigtails after trying them out
I Love Technology more than anyone but WOW I find this amazing and a bit cheap.. I can watch cartoons at home for FREE!! And yet something about this is really cool, I just don't think its worth paying for unless the band was really hot.
Have a great day!
