They said "LOLA also holds the title of 'the first-ever Vocaloid' as both LEON and LOLA were released on the same day." Thanks to "Izzy Vitelli" for this correction! They said "the Toyota commercials were part of a collaboration between Toyota and the upcoming Miku concert 'Mikunopolis in Los Angeles' in 2011. This was the first concert featuring Hatsune Miku and other Piapro characters overseas. The commercials actually tell a story of which Miku is preparing for the concert and making plans to get Bacon Wrapped Hotdogs afterwards, which she eventually does. Sega did not animate the commercials, but the commercials did win a Multicultural Excellence Award in November 2011." Thanks to "ren." for this correction! They said "5:40 its not because the mi in miku can be read as 3 (3 is only read as san, not mi), its because of the way miku is written (ミク, entirely katakana) mi written in katakana (ミ) looks like the kanji for san (三)" Things I didn't talk/didn't know about but were worth making the video: -The Akatsuki spacecraft and Miku on Venus (Thank you msmistyeyes!) -Gatebox Miku and the canonicity of Miku's marriage/Miku's relationship to Crunchyroll (Thank you Kidgore!) -The Onibi Series (Thank you BlindJess Gacha!) -Scissorloid (Thank you The Lightning Stalker!) -Sand planet controversy/Vocaloid producer(s) response (Thank you TheALoqado!) -Project Sekai (Thank you Mel!) -CV01, CV03, etc. (Thank you auggusthus!) -Nyan Cat (Thank you auggusthus!) -Calne Ca's Vtuber career (/Calne's variant's Vtuber career(s))/Ca stands for "Calcium" (Thank you Miss Umi! & Ekraelum) -Miku's collaboration with Pharrell & Big boi (Thank you NarukoCosplay15!) -the LG commercial with Jason Statham [I saw this as it aired as well! lmao] (Thank you Izzy Vitelli!) -Piapro (Thank you Izzy Vitelli!) -The first ever Miku concert (Thank you Izzy Vitelli!) -Miku’s concert performance with Luo tianyi (Thank you Izzy Vitelli!) -Snow Miku/Sakura Miku (Thank you Izzy Vitelli!) -Sapporo (Thank you Izzy Vitelli!) -Extremely brief mention of the Piapro studio characters/other vocaloids belonging to Crypton (Thank you Izzy Vitelli!) -Miku Expo 2021 online (Thank you Izzy Vitelli!) -Collaboration with Wendy's (Thank you Izzy Vitelli!) -Cytus 2 DLC and story (Thank you saibd castaneda!) -MMD drama festival/MMD Cup (Thank you Scarlet Star!) -Miku Galaxy live 2020 (Thank you M K!) -Black Rock Shooter (Thank you Ayla Sabatini!) -The disappearance of Hatsune Miku (Thank you Vic Puerto!) My (Rynne’s) personal findings: - Ievan Polkka: the vocaloid wiki states that the song itself is set to a traditional Finnish melody and Loituma is actually a Finnish band. Therefore the song is not Polish but rather Finnish. The original composer is stated to be Eino Kettunen (who was a Finnish composer and lyricist) ​www.finna.fi/Record/jykdok.1286293 (

[@bog4612]

Here is an idea for part 2: Miku Cytus 2 collab, this is simple, Cytus 2 made a collab with Miku by adding her as a character (not canon to Cytus but she has her own story), she was a limited time DLC and is unknown if she is coming back. edit: another collab is with Brave Frontier.

[@rynnewav]

​@@bog4612 Interesting! I heard of the Cytus 2 DLC but I was unaware there was a story behind it and from what I could find online it seems quite heavy in it's subject matter, it seems interesting and I definitely would like to discuss it. As for Brave Frontier, unfortunately their doesn't seem much to talk about regarding it unless there's a story in the game/an interesting history behind getting Miku in the game. Thank you for mentioning these and offering your recommendations! :)

[@BlurryNova]

Ngl, I teared up a bit at Miku crying during her speech. Human emotions are nuts, I'm fully aware she's just a voice bank, but despite knowing that, it still pulled at my heart strings. But c'mon, they did such a good job animating her crying, even getting her voice to sound wobbly and adding hiccups. They did an amazing job making a 2D model look and sound so emotional. Crazy how easily attached we can get it to things even when their not real.

[@rynnewav]

Same :') Miku may be artificial but the emotions she and her music can give us are very real 💚

[@sakiberi]

the hatsune miku robot was actually "HRP-4C", a robot made by yamaha "cosplaying" hatsune miku

[@rynnewav]

Thanks sm for the clarification! Adding this to the corrections list asap! :)

[@Divabunny_au]

I think the reason she is “weaboo bait” is because the style she’s mostly drawn in is similar to that of anime.

[@fuckuifureadthisokay]

I think it's because she was the first in Crypton's Character Voice series (so she was voiced by a voice actress doing a voice, not just a person singing in their natural voice) and also the first VOCALOID in general to lean into popular anime aesthetics at the time. MEIKO and KAITO are both kind of anime but their original boxes don't scream 2006 otaku anime characters to me. I don't think it's a coincidence that the fandom blew up so heavily shortly after Miku's release, and I also don't think it's a coincidence that the MEIKO songs that were getting popular around that time mostly tuned her to sound less like digitised Meiko Haigou and more like a loli character in an anime.

[@reyna6203]

I still remember being 13 and trying to be quiet past curfew to watch miku on letterman. cant believe that entire thing was real

[@karuchan4989]

I think she also had a cameo in Baka to Test

[@sailorsaturnwannabe]

I believe the “Miku made Minecraft” train started because when it came out that Notch was transphobic, it broke people’s hearts. In response to it, someone posted (on tumblr I believe) “Wow, I can’t believe she made Minecraft” and others ate it up. So she is now the sole creator of Minecraft!

[@vadaverse]

yes this!!

[@yasvoid]

wait notch is transphobic?

[@AzuRemilia]

Her backstory of being the "first voice of the future where all song was lost" makes sense regarding her name - Hatsune literally means "First sound" and mi from her first name, despite being officially written in kana could've been taken from mirai - japanese word meaning future

[@CrytalMikii]

One thing about Miku made ___ is that usually, this meme arises if the original creator of a beloved thing is a terrible person in some way. So fans will reject the original creator and say that Miku created it instead.

[@TheALoqado]

I remember hearing that the "Sand Planet" song caused quite a bit of controversy among japanese vocaloid producers at the time, I remember seeing "Kurage-P"'s response in an interview but I also heard people saying that Pinocchio-P responded to the controversy in one of his songs? What's the Pinocchio song people say is a response to Sand Planet and what other notable responses were ther from notable vocaloid Producers? I'd love to know more about the topic of this song's controversy, if anyone know I'd be happy to know :)

[@rynnewav]

I had no idea there was controversy regarding the song over in Japan (assuming it's not a rumor.) I agree, if anyone knows more information and can send a reference to the reply (replies) and/or song in question please let us know!

[@TheALoqado]

​@@rynnewav At least the Kurage-P's part I know for a fact, you can search for "Kurage-p interview: Miku's 10th" and the interview (translated to english) should pop up as the first result on google. The interview is real and the original japanese interview is linked at the top of the page with the english translated interview. The video was really enjoyable btw, I enjoyed all the topics presented :)

[@rynnewav]

Thank you so much that means a lot! :D And yes I found the interview and the translation like you said, thank you! (If anyone else wants to read the interview it's here vgperson.com/vocalinterview.php?view=kuragenatalie) I'm going to wait to see if anyone can pinpoint the response song by Pinocchio-P since I would like to talk about the SandPlanet's controversy in the part 2 of this iceberg! Secondly thank you again for bringing this to my attention!

[@CaseyOSorry]

Syudou’s (The guy who wrote Bitter Choco Decoration and Ussewa) Jackpot Sad Girl is said to be a direct response to Sand Planet. He said stuff along the lines of “I love and respect you as my teacher, but I think you’re stupid for thinking Vocaloids are dead” or something like that.

[@Aosagi-P]

13:56 no, it's not polkka is the czech republic folk dance, this song is about it, not polka (with singular k) as a polish woman

[@rynnewav]

My apologies for the typo, I’ll be sure to list the proper spelling. As for the song’s origin, the vocaloid wiki states that the song itself is set to a traditional Finnish melody and Loituma is actually a Finnish band (which I actually got wrong in the video which Im now realizing.) Therefore I’m led to believe the song is not Polish but rather Finnish. You are also correct that the polkka is a dance that originated from the Czech Republic. I imagine the song itself probably takes inspiration from the style of the Polkka hence the title? I think this may be the case since the Polkka had started around from 1800 to 1900 and the lyrics to Ievan Polkka were printed in 1928 with the composer stated to be Eino Kettunen (who was a Finnish composer and lyricist), so this may make sense in regards to the timeline of events. www.finna.fi/Record/jykdok.1286293

oh also deino's character "ca" which is short for calcium, is also a vtuber now too. Or at least, last i checked.

[@rynnewav]

Thank you for the info! Secondly, I looked it up and I'll need to do some more research but it seems she is a vtuber now! Super cool!

[@Ekraelum]

Actually, apparently there's a whole agency of Vtubers that are either variants of Calne Ca or other characters inspired by or created by DEINO or something? I follow the Calne Ca bot on Twitter and it constantly retweets fanart of either Calne or other Vtubers that share the same aesthetics _(and very lewd stuff, apparently there's a Calne Ca sex toy which doesn't surprise me at all tbh)_

[@locksheon8781]

The story of Sand Planet; vocaloid dying? That's so disheartening, because I just recently discovered it all, and I am diving in! This is an entirely new genre, fresh and new! So much better than music today!

[@rynnewav]

It’s definitely a unique genre! 💚 But remember, Sand planet is about the status of the whole community from the perspective from one sole producer and actually about how Hachi felt everything wasn’t the same as it had been in the early days. It’s not actually dying and there’s a whole bunch of new content and fans out here, no worries :D Edit: fixed a typo

Everytime I remember that we didn't recognize the producers and credit Miku for the songs instead, I remember how Wowaka was very upset that he's not rightfully credited for his hard work.

[@AzuRemilia]

I think the real story behind "Miku made Minecraft" was that Notch was receiving severe backlash for some rather insensitive stuff (can't remember the details), not even being a part of Minecraft's 10th anniversary. This leadt to fans somewhat jokingly removing the controversy by ditching notch and claiming that Minecraft was made by Hatsune Miku This became a running joke where any controversial figure (like J.K. Rowling and her transphobia) was replaced with Miku

Senbonzakura could also arguably be her most popular song, if we're going by other standards. Its the most viewed song on NNd, with Miku Miku ni Shute Ageru ad a close second. It's also a common feature in most official sega video games, and is pushed overall. Probably better that world is mine is more popular bc senbonzakura is removed from all kinds of Korean media.

god I remember first knowing about miku from some Japanese ad for 7 11 crazy

[@dcscruz2970]

I refuse to believe miku would date crunchytrash

[@suzie-p]

hi! small corrections here, i'm sorry! at around the 13-14 minute mark, you mispronouced miku saying "maiku okay" (mic okay) to "miku okay!" you also said that ievan polka was originally from poland, which isn't true. it's actually from finland BUT i appreciate this video a lot! its very cool.

[@rynnewav]

Hello! Ievan Polkka being from Finland was already corrected and was stated in the correction’s list. Also I said “Miku okay” because the topic involved the question as to whether before Viva Happy if Miku said “Mic okay” or “Miku okay”, it was intentional and as for what Miku had actually said “Mic okay” has also ready joined the corrections. Thank you for the compliment! :D

[@suzie-p]

@@rynnewav oh oops! i had slightly read the corrections list and didn't see that, my bad! thank you for letting me know though

[@shinypaintf588]

there's a darker voca/miku (i don't remember) iceberg but it's in spanish iirc

[@cindyscrawly1672]

Vocaloid is not what it used to¿¿¿ well no.. but i can speak for my country here in Mexico miku is super important contemporary icon. No joke theres plenty renditions of miku as the Virgen de Guadalupe

[@lilredshyguy]

I see calne ca, I click

[@baibtch]

I was about to comment the same thing, lol

[@Kirby-Krios]

Found this on recommend, because I love Mikuuuuu ^_^

[@McJewellist]

I remember seeing that one video essay years ago (I won't mention the KZbinr name, but once you read my confession story, you probably know who it is) about MEMEME music video, Then later he said that "MIKU and Moe characters cause about NEET and control you" I was distraught and ended up not listening to Miku, I was ashamed of myself. After watching your video on that part 'its not illegal, you should be able to like it and be proud of" I feel better and uplifted, Don't worry though, I still continue on what I love like still continues to watch some Moe shows that relaxed me and of course I got back to listening to some Miku songs again for nostalgia. Sorry about this very dump silly story, It had been stuck in my mind for years, and wanted to get this off my chest to share this with you and to thank you for this video!

[@rynnewav]

I'm glad my words were able to make you feel more comfortable with liking Miku again! :) I really like the overarching message behind ME!ME!ME! I'm not an expert on preventing someone from becoming a NEET, but I think a healthy moderation between irl life & anime/games and not letting Otaku culture take over one's life can help prevent from taking on the NEET lifestyle.

[@rubberduckie1104]

Sorry of its rude of me to ask by what exactly is a NEET? just curious

[@rynnewav]

@@rubberduckie1104 Hi! A NEET is an acronym for "Not in Education, Employment, or Training." More often than not, it's usually someone who prefers to stay home and focus on anime & games than have a social life or a job Edit: I'm pretty sure that's it, but I could be getting the definition confused with hikikomori

[@augg1091]

22:04 while there isn't a Miku anime there is, technically, a Vocaloid anime. Or a donghua, i guess. Vsinger, formerly Vocaloid China Project and Vocanese, had a bunch of animations produced to promote the designs that won from the drawing contest where the vocaloid designs were taken from. Also, i believe the "Miku Formula" actually first became prevalent during Luo Tianyi's contest? I may be wrong. The anime only features Tianyi, Ling, Longya, Moke and Qingxian, though. YANHE, the design from the second contest they held was not in it due to controversy. Furthermore, with the exception of again, Yanhe, all of the vsingers have personalities. Although i believe, like the Crypton loids, they've been moved into another synthesizer. Last i heard, Shanghai HENIAN was waiting for their contracts with Yamaha to finish in order to move the vsingers into SynthV. One of Shanghai Henian's Vocaloids, Xingchen, more known as Stardust, has been moved to synthv. Although her voice provider is different due to contractual issues with her original provider. I haven't caught up with Vocaloid since the Hime and Mikoto came out for V5, so i might be a bit outdated on this. Edit; After a quick surf through my Amino account, It seems only Stardust is to be moved. Apparently, back in february of 2020, vsinger's voicebank producer confirmed a V5 update for Ling and YANHE on weibo. Im not sure if they've released, but i believe a song testing Yanhe's voicebank was released on bilibili for either an anniversary or a birthday.

[@augg1091]

This was a great iceberg! Most of this is pretty basic info within the grand scheme of Vocaloid, but considering there's like, 80 of them at this point, and its a Miku focused iceberg it could make a good introduction for newer fans.

[@augg1091]

Also, after a few minutes of thinking, i personally would've added Nyan Cat, Black Rock Shooter and Louis Vuitton. Also, the whole numbering system like Miku being CV01 and Luka being CV03

[@rynnewav]

Thank you so much! :D I agree, this iceberg is very much "Vocaloid and Hatsune Miku 101: the basics" lol

[@rynnewav]

I'm making a part 2 to this iceberg so I'll be sure to discuss CV01 (CV03, etc.) & Nyan Cat! I won't be covering Louis Vuitton as Minnemi already covered that in her iceberg

[@bIuepepper]

there are rumors that crypton is making a miku anime based off of the fan manga Hatsune Mix which includes all the Cryptonloids and guest appearences from some Internet Co loids. It was announced this February but nothing else has come out yet.

[@paulaklc5883]
