Hatsune Miku is a virtual character created by Crypton Future Media. Originally, she was sold as the face of computer software that allowed users to generate their own music, with her as a vessel. Imagine GarageBand mixed with Sims performing your songs.
Since Miku's creation, over 170,000 sounds have been created for her, garnering a grand total of over 100 million hits on YouTube. This spring, she embarked on a ten-city tour with a live band to showcase the most shared singles — almost all the shows were sold out. Below, Miku's creator, Crypton Future Media CEO Hiroyuki Itoh, tells the story of her creation.

Rei Toei is the idoru—the beautiful, entirely virtual media star adored by all Japan. Rez has declared that he will marry her. This is the rumor that has brought Chia to Tokyo. True or not, the idoru and the powerful interests surrounding her are enough to put all their lives in danger...
