Long before Tupac’s hologram first appeared, Hatsune Miku took the stage. The hologram version of Hatsune Miku appeared at Animelo Summer Live at Saitama Super Arena on August 22, 2009. The voice of Hatsune Miku, a fictional character - voiced by Yamaha Corporation’s Vocaloid 2 and Vocaloid 3 using synthesizing technologies with Crypton Future Media's Piapro Studio, a singing synthesizer VSTi Plugin - was used in the creation of over 100,000 original songs. Miku, who is portrayed as a 16-year-old girl with turquoise twin-tails, has captured the hearts of millions of fans and it is no wonder that she has so many awesome figures! We are here to look for the coolest and cutest of them all.
