初音ミク5周年、そして… Hatsune Miku 5th Anniversary
昨日はVOCALOIDソフト、初音ミク発売5周年でした。私は「初音ミク」という概念がとても気に入ります。音声合成ソフト、バーチャルアイドル、キャラクター、歌手。こうして一つのプラットフォームになって、クリエイター達が集まって、好きなものを作って、そして人を感動させる。私もこういうコミュニティ混ざりたい、一緒にミクを作り上げたい、と時々思います。
Yesterday was 5th Anniversary of VOCALOID software – Hatsune Miku. I like the concept of “Hatsune Miku” much. A singing synthesizer application; a virtual Idol; a character, and a singer. Everything combined into a platform for creation. Creators come together to produce things they want, impressing and touching people’s heart. Sometimes, I really wish to join this community of creation, and to shape Miku together with them.
横浜まで誕生日イベントへは行けそうにないけど、今週はまさにミク充です!ミク音ゲーム「初音ミク Project Diva -f」が発売し、それを遊ぶためにPS Vitaを買いました。ソニーから3939台限定のミクウォークマンも無事に届きました。アースミュージック&エコロジーxミクのTシャツもファミマのHappyくじも届きました。これほど多いミク商品が同じターミングで届くのは今回で初めてです。ミクの誕生日でもあるし、なんか不思議。
少し写真を撮ります。まずはミクウォークマンです。ソニーウェブストアで購入エントリー登録し、新規登録ユーザーの私にも幸いに1次販売の案内メールが来て、無事注文できました。(案内メールの順番はソニーストアのポイント数で決めるらしい…)
Even I have no chance to go to the birthday event in Yokohama, I do have a full week of Miku here. I purchased the game “Hatsune Miku Project Diva -f” with the PS Vita. The 3939 limited Miku Walkman arrived. Earth Music&Ecology x Miku’s Tee arrived. Familymart’s Happy kuji arrived partially. All sort of Miku goods arrived within this week, and now its Miku’s birthday. Brilliant.
Just take a few pictures. First of all the Miku Walkman. I entered the pre-order at Sony web store JP, and lucky enough to get the purchase notice e-mail even being a new entry user (seems the sequence of purchase notice depends on the spending in Sony web store…)
当然ミクブルーを注文します。なぜが箱が専用ものではなく、ブルーでもなく、普通の黒いウォークマンS箱でした。
Of course, I ordered Miku Blue ver. Have no idea that it comes in an ordinary Walkman S box in black.
39番と3939番は一体どこへ行ってしまったのだろう。背面イメージイラストかなり好き!プリントではなくレーザー刻印で高級感溢れてよかった。
Just wonder who would own no.39 and 3939. I love the illustration at the back. Its not a print but laser engraving, making it a nice piece of art.
プリインストールされた特別仕様の壁紙です。
Pre-installed special wallpaper.
プリインストールの歌:星のカケラ。
Pre-installed song: Fragments of star(?)
実はこれ、私の初めてのウォークマンです。ゲームをやりたくない通勤日はコレを持ち歩くつもりです。大切に使わせて頂きます(*⌒∇⌒*)
Actually it is my first walkman!! I will carry it with me for those days I don’t want to play games in MTR.
次はPS Vita。ミク仕様の限定版Vita、嫌い訳じゃないけどフレ値まで出す程欲しいものじゃありませんから、普通の白Vitaを購入。それでもかなりの痛い出費のような気がしますorz…
せっかく青歯対応だからBluetoothイヤホンも使えたい。音質あまり期待できないけど便利そうでなりよりです。
The next one is Vita. I do wished it was in Miku color.. not quite like print and illustration on the limited edition, hence I go for the normal one, and yet…seems still a bit expensive.
Since it support Bluetooth, I also got a pair of bluetooth headphone for it. No expectation on sound quality but it seems quite convenient.
なにこの神画質!!圧倒的ではないですか!!コレは有機ELの威力か…
Stunning graphic! Truly impressive. This is the power of organic LED..
ゲームは楽しいけどARモードも侮れない!PS Vitaのカメラの感度とノイズ….ちょっと残念。それでも楽しいく撮影できそう。
The game itself is nice, but the AR-mode is surprisingly funny! Vita’s camera at night isn’t perform good though…
Vitaは良ソフトさえ揃えばかなり売れると思う。現状は…まあ。
Vita shall be popular if and only if more games are available.
ミクはあと十年、いや五十年も戦えるってじゃないかな。
Miku could last for a decade or more, or maybe even 50 years XD.
追記:BluetoothイヤホンはPS Vitaとの相性は最悪でした。音が0.5秒ほどズレてるので、ビデオもゲームも無理でした。う〜ん。外でどんなイヤホンを使えばいいかな…みなさん、何かオススメある?
P.S. Can’t use Bluetooth earphone with PS Vita. Sound delay for about 0.5 sec, and I am unable to play Music game using it…. Any suggestion for earphones?

Happy Anniversary! You sure have bought a lot to celebrate this milestone for Miku! ^^
Miku sure has come a long way from what she originally was supposed to be. It’s nice how she really rise to fame not because she was created specifically to find and fit the demand, but it’s because the users and the ordinary people who make her into the virtual idol that we know as of today. Quite a phenomenon I gotta say!
The Project Diva f is very tempting, even though I am not very good at rhythm games. May plan to go for one once the hype has cooled down a bit, but I really do wish that VITA has more games available to play.
Looking forward to see more of your Miku goodies once you acquire them~ And enjoy the anniversary meanwhile!
… Say, I don’t expect to see a grand piano in one of the pictures there (;゚Д゚)
Thanks Q. While looking at Miku, sometimes she makes me to recall some oldies like Macross Plus and Megazone 23. Those fantasies in classic SF animation have already be here right now! Miku does help those talented illustrator and composers on their career, and even for them to earn their living! Its just amazing!
XD for the grand piano in my home….its actually a…… 1/6 miniature by Sega Toys. (https://www.segatoys.co.jp/grand-pianist/) Well I do wish to have a 1/1 at home….. and perhaps a 1/8 and 1/12 will be nice, too.
