Hatsune Miku
Hatsune Miku, a virtual pop star, made her debut in 2007 as a singing synthesizer software developed by Crypton Future Media. She quickly gained popularity in Japan and internationally due to her unique feature of having a holographic, anime-like avatar to accompany her performances. Miku's distinctive character design and catchy tunes appealed to a wide audience, leading to the creation of fan-made songs and live concerts using holographic projections. Over the years, Miku's fame has grown exponentially, resulting in numerous collaborations with renowned artists and even opening for Lady Gaga during her tour in 2014. Additionally, Miku's impact on the music industry has extended beyond her virtual presence, as she has inspired countless aspiring vocalists and influenced the creation of other virtual idols.
