Miku Hatsune is one of Japan's hottest new pop sensations. The 16-year-old's cute soprano voice has been near the top of the charts. The software charts. Hatsune is a vocal-synthesizer app created by Yamaha and based on data sampled from anime voice-actress Saki Fujita. The program lets aspiring music nerds create pitch-perfect vocal tracks by simply entering the lyrics (in Japanese or English) and musical notes. The AI superstar can be heard singing dozens of tunes on YouTube.

- Japan just made the technology of voice synthesizing a step higher with this one. Now try comparing this
to Microsoft's monotone sounding Max (not sure about the name, forgot the name of that @#&%'$ program - never used it anyway)
-They even made her some PVs (Promotional Videos)
