Hatsune Miku. A virtual pop star that over the past 9 years has been taking the world by storm, but just who is she?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hatsune Miku is a 16 year old Japanese pop star, but there’s a catch, she’s not human. In fact Miku is computer software: more specifically,\u00a0she is a voice bank that has been created for a computer software program called ‘Vocaloid’ which was created by Yamaha. She’s\u00a0not alone either, in fact there are 6 ‘Vocaloids’ altogether, however due to her unique voice Miku is the most popular, and is therefore the spokesperson for the franchise. From games, to advertising, to even live concerts, Miku is a proper little pop star in the making.<\/p>\n

Miku has been out for a quite a while and there have been 3 different versions of her voice bank, so you can only imagine the amount of songs that have been written for her. I was however able to pick one\u00a0out of the mass of songs that are available\u00a0online.<\/p>\n

The song that I chose is called ‘Tell Your World’, and was written by Livetune(kz). It\u00a0was originally written in Japanese, but I managed to find a talented fan’s cover of ‘Tell Your World’, in English, using her latest version:<\/p>\n
