hatsune miku is the type of vocaloid that even if you don't do that vocaloid stuff or listen to it, you'd probably have heard of her a couple of times.

Yeah. Luka is the hottest and IA has the best voice. Shout out to lily and gumi for having my favorite voice providers.

Better question—when did we start calling her "Hatsune Miku" and why?
Her name's clearly "Miku Hatsune", "Hatsune Miku" is her name in the Japanese order, which is last name before first name.

Well I knew about the figurines years ago but never knew about the Vocaloid until a few weeks ago. If I was to make Vocaloid I would use Miku just because everyone knows her already. She doesn’t have the best voice but she has a unique voice. That’s all that matters to me. In my signature I have a few of my favourite Vocaloid songs linked. Why not have a listen?

Back when I used to care about Vocaloid I liked KAITO the most. I think he's one of the first developed. They really did dirty to my guy though, when they realised female vocaloids sell more.

I love Miku and she is my favourite Vocaloid, but i can say she is most certainly overrated. I don't mind it since i like her so much, but it is a shame other Vocaloid's don't get more spotlight.

Her name's clearly "Miku Hatsune", "Hatsune Miku" is her name in the Japanese order, which is last name before first name.


Well, it's written as "Hatsune Miku" on all the Project Diva game logos since 2009. The game is literally called "Hatsune Miku: Project Diva". Not to mention tons of videos feature her name in that order. After seeing it all over the place that way of saying her name just sticks. I don't see what's wrong with using the Japanese name order for a Japanese character. It's like calling an anime by it's Japanese title instead of the English sometimes - it's just preference.

Besides, she'll blush if we call her by her first name you know.

so many great vocaloid songs aren't on Spotify it's so sad. and the ones that are for example Luka is credited to other artists even though she does the vocals in the songs so it was a mission to find what I was looking for. screw miku

Err, this is supposed to be good? I gotta say, I was expecting something entirely different

What were you expecting? You don’t think it’s good? Then we have very different tastes in music. Perhaps you will like mainstream Vocaloid. The stuff that has millions of plays but I can’t stand. The one you just linked is one of my favourites and it only has 56 plays...

Yh after looking at the mainstream ones, that is what I was expecting, though I'm not into that either. I don't think the one you linked is necessarily bad... just different, nothing wrong with that.

The reason V5 premiered without Miku is that Crypton is splitting with Yamaha and Miku, Rin/Len, Luka, Meiko and Kaito will (as of their next versions) no longer be vocaloids.


I'm no musician/composer and I don't use the software, but I am guessing that Crypton wants to make their products exclusive to the Piapro Studio software (that they produce). It would probably also allow them to not pay licensing fees to Yamaha.

I definitely think other vocaloid should get some of the spotlight but there’s a reason to why Miku is so popular. That’s due to the amount of good songs that are produced from her voice bank. I’m not saying that the songs produced from the other voice banks are bad, but a lot more songs are produced using Miku’s voice bank overall, meaning there’s a lot more songs of higher quality (and lower quality) made from her voice bank. If you look at the songs that have had a massive impact and the people behind them, they have mainly used Miku’s voice bank. Without Hatsune Miku vocaloid would have had a completely different history and would not be seen as it is today. So no, I don’t think Miku is overrated.

based on nothing but the quality of the voicebank, you would have a leg to stand on. Compared to more modern Vocaloids, Miku comes up short in many aspects. She IS a voice acted voicebank and that's going to limit the range of samples.

However, Miku cannot be overlooked because of her cultural impact. Miku lit a fire under the otaku when NicoNico Douga was just getting started and NND is one of the pillars of otaku culture in japan. Because of the intensely collaborative nature of vocaloid fandom and productions, Miku is perhaps the perfect symbol of otaku culture. She is going to be of significance for a long time.

I'm not a fan of her voice, I prefer Luka and Gumi.

But a lot of people use her voice to make music, and many great composers are also using her voice, so yeah. Her popularity make sense.

If you mean overrated in general: There are so many good songs and videos with Miku, with such a massively positive influence on many communities and cultures, that there is no way she's reasonably "overrated". Vocaloids are kinda dead but still known because of the high quality of some content out there. The praise and lasting popularity is deserved.

If you mean overrated among Vocaloids: Best Vocaloid is debatable, of course. Kind of up to your taste. If someone is saying Miku is better than all the other Vocaloids combined times infinity, then yes that person is overrating her lol

Hmm ... Almost 15 years ago Miku's appearance with songs like Ievan Polka or Po Pi Po went viral and that made Vocaloid popular in general. Then other vocaloids would arrive, becoming popular as well, although not as popular as Miku.

Personally, I wish there were more songs from a little known vocaloid called Kokone.

Back in the days , there was limited software that could do vocaloid.Now as technology advances, more obtainable software can do what was done when Hatsune Miku first started. I think Hatsune Miku has dropped as many are doing the similar vocaloid.

Though Hatsune is Overrated . I rather listen to someone doing a cover on her songs than her actual singing
