What is the difference between Miku and Hatsune Miku?

There is no difference between Miku and Hatsune Miku. Miku is another name for Hatsune Miku, both of which refer to the same head.

Hatsune Miku, also known as Hatsune Miku, is a sound source library developed by CRYPTON FUTURE MEDIA based on Yamaha's VOCALOID series speech synthesis program. Hatsune Miku is the first virtual idol in the world to hold a concert with holographic projection technology.

The official image of Hatsune Miku is a blue-green ponytail, which was created by the painter KEI. Clothes and machinery are based on DX7 synthesizer issued by Yamaha 1983.

The origin of Hatsune Miku

On June 30, 2007, the image of Hatsune Miku was officially made public, but he didn't have a surname at that time, but was called ミク. It was not until July 12, 2007 that the surname Hatsune Miku was made public, and at the same time, the Chinese character ミク was also made public.

It was not until August 3 1 that the sound source library developed on the basis of VOCALOID series speech synthesis programs officially appeared, and the new concept of virtual singer was officially released.

The birth of Miku in Hatsune Miku attracted a new generation who had never known about electronic music to contact with electronic music creation, let more people know about electronic music production, let senior people "return" to the creative upsurge about 20 years ago, let electronic music creation flourish again, and also stimulated painting and animation creation other than music creation.
