After watching some videos involving the girl above, voice synthesizers, and anime/video game songs on ニコニコ動画 (Nico Nico Douga) a week or two ago, I started getting curious. Who is this girl? Where do I get the program that everyone is using?After some searching, I found out quite a lot. Basically, 初音ミク (Hatsune Miku) is the voice (or the first voice released so far...) of Yamaha's new Vocaloid 2, which is a voice synthesizer which allows users to generate singing by inputting the lyrics and notes for their song into the program.
This program has blown away Yamaha's expectations of how it would sell, and apparently they are striving just to make enough copies to go around, it has easily became the fastest selling voice synth on the market in Japan. Due to video sites like ニコニコ動画 and Youtube, Hatsune Miku has sparked interest in many on the internet, including me, which then lead to more purchases of the software.
When I first encountered 初音ミク, I was not sure if liked her voice, but it seems to have grown on me quickly. It is very good for a computer, and with the more musically inclined people out there, it really shines in their hands. I have gotten my hands on this software as well recently, and I am now working with it, seeing if I can make something, though I am no where near as musically inclined as some.
Anyways, here are some of my favorite videos of songs remixed by 初音ミク. You can find plenty more on ニコニコ動画 or Youtube.
I would just like to say that I love the 3D for the movie above as well, I wouldn't mind doing something similar to that in Maya 8.5 sometime...
