HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKU!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!! aaaaa once again its that time of year! today! its the day i started my speedpaint journey here on youtube 2 years ago (shhh technically it was yesterday but ive counted it as the 31st now since last year) and its also the birthday of everyones most favoritest singing robot, hatsune miku!!!!!!!!!!! she is so important to me, you have no idea... vocaloid has shaped a huge chunk of my personality, matched only by pokemon, i think (and what a coincidence that i was also running a pokemon-a-day challenge alongside this month on amino...). miku is really the reason vocaloid is what it is today! she's not the first one, but certainly she's very very important! from television shows to commercials to live concerts to video games to phone apps... she's done it all, and i think we all owe her a bit of thanks today!! if youve ever had your day be brightened even just a little by hearing a vocaloid song, its thanks to the work of this young lady that that happened!! (unless, like, youve been in a coma since 2006 and have only heard vocaloids from before miku came out which like... then thank leon or something!) really, i know im rambling, but i love this day so much!! my favorite holiday!! thank you miku for making all of this possible, and i wish you many many more years of success to come!!!! about the actual picture, i kind of recreated the pose from my first speedpaint! not perfectly or anything, but thats not what i was going for. i just wanted it to be similar enough that it could pay homage to it, i guess. full image: https://www.deviantart.com/polymercorgi/art/hatsune-miku-761890499 songs: anamanaguchi - miku ryo (supercell) - melt as for the songs... i actually used to really hate miku (the song lol) because i thought it was kind of disappointing when i first heard it ;____; i was all excited for this new english miku song and then it was kind of just... dinky? i would call it? but over the years now, i think ive finally grown to appreciate it. its cute, simple, and have you SEEN the choreography for it during live shows??? ghfjh i used it here because while searching for songs to use in these videos and ones for next year/beyond, i would only search "miku" and this would always be the first result. i figured that had to account for something, right? i guess this is kind of like a new anthem for her, at least for western fans. but melt!! melt on the other hand!!!!! MELT!!! what an absolute classic, really!! i read somewhere that it was the first miku song to ever be played to the public, like they played melt in an intersection or at a mall or something and this was the first time the public got to hear her voice for the first time. even if its not true, its romantic if you think about it... such a powerful-sounding song with soft little miku's voice wafting through the speakers and onto the passerby. i really love that story!! and thus, melt has been a staple of miku;s popularity since the beginning. i pretty much consider it her theme song, if there could be one. i think it perfectly captures her voice and personality and all the history of her character all in one little package.
