In this series, we introduce producers of Hatsune Miku Vocaloid music just in time for Miku Day, March 9! First up is ika.
ika is the creator of the undeniably popular song “Miku Miku ni Shite Ageru” and is likely thought by many to be the person who brought Hatsune Miku to stardom. The song’s hook is so impressive, once you hear it you won’t be able to get it out of you head! And ika has plenty of other fantastic songs too. For those who’ve never heard them before, and for those who say “Of course I already know them!”, take this opportunity to give them a listen below!

March 9 is Hatsune Miku Day!
In Japanese, three can be pronounced as both “mi” and “san.” Nine can be pronounced as both “ku” and “kyou.” Therefore, March 9 can be pronounced, for the sake of pronunciation play, as “Miku” and “sankyuu,” which sounds like thank you. That is why March 9th is day for appreciation of Hatsune Miku.
Tokyo Otaku Mode operates on the idea of “bringing happiness to the world through otaku culture.” Hatsune Miku is a big part of Japan’s otaku culture, so we had to do something exciting for Miku Day, March 9.
Therefore, we will be featuring Hatsune Miku for two weeks beginning on March 9!
The following will be featured:
