Hatsune Miku
, sometimes referred to as Miku Hatsune, is the name of a Vocaloid software voicebank developed by Crypton Future Media and its official moe anthropomorph, a 16-year-old girl with long, turquoise twintails. She uses Yamaha Corporation's Vocaloid 2, Vocaloid 3, and Vocaloid 4 singing synthesizing technologies. She also uses Crypton Future Media's Piapro Studio, a singing synthesizer VSTi Plugin. She was the second Vocaloid sold using the Vocaloid 2 engine and the first Japanese Vocaloid to use the Japanese version of the Vocaloid 2 engine. Her voice is modeled from Japanese voice actress Saki Fujita. Miku's personification has been marketed as a virtual idol and has performed at concerts onstage as an animated projection (rear cast projection on a specially coated glass screen).
Miki Furukawa
In 2006 Furukawa released her first solo album, "Mirrors", featuring a mixture of guitar-based rock songs and electronic dance-pop. "Bondage Heart" (2008) pointed in a new direction, with heavy influences from post-punk, psychedelic rock and noise, whereas "Very" (2010) was a mostly electropop-oriented record. In December 2009, software developer AH Software used voice samples from Furukawa to create the Vocaloid voice library SF-A2 Miki. In 2011, Miki Furukawa and former Supercar bandmate Nakamura Koji formed the band called Lama. Lama jump-started their formation with a single entitled "Spell", which has been used as an opening theme for the anime "No. 6". The single "Fantasy" was used as the ending theme for the anime "Un-Go".
