It allows users to make a female\u00a0character called Hatsune Miku sing songs, simply by entering the lyrics and melody of their choice. Many creators have used Hatsune Miku to make music to share online, which has prompted a wave of\u00a0interactive user activity in Japan and abroad. First gaining attention as a software character, Hatsune Miku is now popular around the world\u00a0as a virtual singer with sell-out live performances and her own\u00a0merchandise.\u00a0In 2016, she gave performances in five major cities throughout Japan, followed by performances in North America and Taiwan. In Dec. 2016, Hatsune Miku performances will be held in Beijing and Shanghai, China.<\/p>\n<p>Official Website:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/piapro.net\/intl\/en.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/piapro.net\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Upcoming Kodo Collaboration\u00a0with Virtual Singer\u00a0Hatsune Miku! &#8220;Two of Japan&#8217;s Renowned Artists Come\u00a0Together for an Exciting New Collaboration!&#8221; In the lead up to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics, Japanese Broadcasting Company NHK will broaden the global spotlight on sports to also showcase\u00a0Japan&#8217;s fascinating culture through\u00a0their &#8220;This is NIPPON Premium Theater&#8221; series.
