Who is Hatsune Miku?
Hatsune Miku was born in 2007 and is a 16-year-old “teenager” with blue hair and a schoolgirl look—evoking the world of Japanese anime. Although she was created by the company Crypton Future Media, the real secret to her popularity lies with her fans.

However , don’t be fooled into thinking this ‘fever’ is solely and exclusively Japanese, given that the famous virtual singer has even opened a show for Lady Gaga.
