Hatsune Miku

Hatsune Miku is a 16-year-old girl with hundreds of thousands of songs in her repertoire. She's already completed a European and Asian tour, and she's even been slated to perform at Coachella 2024! Yet, Hatsune doesn't exist. Let us explain who this enigmatic artist is. The future is already here. Hatsune Miku is on the Coachella lineup. An incredible symbol, since, as you've probably guessed, Hatsune Miku is a fictional character, 100% artificially created. It all started with the Vocaloid voice synthesis software. Developed in 2004, this software allows people to create music using artificially generated voices. Among the many options, Hatsune Miku's is the most widely used. The character quickly acquired a physical form, in short, an avatar: that of a young Japanese schoolgirl with long blue hair. If you're under 35, you've almost certainly heard her with Nyan Cat. And yes, it's Hatsune Miku's voice that's behind one of the most persistent - and annoying - memes on the internet.
