As Crypton Future Media’s CEO Hiroyuki Itoh says: “There are many different values and ways of thinking, so if there are 1,000,000 users then there should be 1,000,000 different ways of thinking. The publishing of these works stimulated the creative impulse of users to compose, remix, and further collaborate with each other on new projects.Įach character’s vocal expression is unique, and can be further edited according to the user’s sensibility and style.

Shortly after the release of the software, fans and users started creating a massive amount of music and videos, and uploaded them on video-sharing websites. This software, which can recreate a singing voice carefully recorded and processed for each character, makes it possible to generate an entire song’s vocal parts by simply entering a melody and lyrics on your computer.

“Hatsune Miku”, “Kagamine Rin”, “Kagamine Len”, “Megurine Luka”, “KAITO” and “MEIKO” (collectively called the “Piapro Characters”) are characters developed for a line of singing voice synthesizer products by Crypton Future Media, INC.
