Can someone explain Hatsune Miku to me?
When I first heard of it, I thought it would at least be visually impressive, but this looks like something one would make in Source Film Maker. https://youtu.be/qmf9JkedPR8

Imagine a girl that was cute and did a cute dance and you could jack off to pictures of her on the internet
That's why she's so popular

>> No.17623786

She's a girl that you can make sing whatever you want, and with programs like MMD, she can dance to your songs. People like girls, anon. Her appeal is that her voice can be pretty goddamn versatile, and since she has no discernible personality, you can plug her into any situation you want. She can sing metal, jazz, pop, you name it. And people make tons of different designs for her from song to song.

She's the mascot of Dominoes Pizza.

either you like her or you don't. 3 years ago I got into the games. soon after, I was hooked. it happens, or it doesnt. don't come here seeking answers from fans, find out for yourself.

You have to see a concert live to understand Hatsune Miku best. She was on David Letterman, and I recorded that on tape.

The effect is startling. Youtube videos, unless you're getting a high frame rate, just don't do the performances any justice.

There are fan-made videos of MikuMiku Dance, but don't count those against a true concert experience. Buy a DVD (blurryray if you must) and check it out that way.

She is purest form of pop celebrity. A wholly artificial character who can be whatever her fans want her to be and doesn't have any human flaws.

Hatsune Miku is my entire life (sorry is that sounds cringy; Vocaloid is that good). Others, they just cannot get into it. It really depends.

Because the Miku is cute and her fans love her. That and as a music tool it's pretty impressive. I've been to the concerts and it's really just a unique experience.

Miku herself is a fairly simple but appealing visual design, and a solid voice synthesizer that gets updated still. The real reason it's popular (and vocaloid in general) is the fans making and loving their creations featuring her, miku herself is just the medium.
