Mysteriously, this page vanished when Kumizone was silently transferred to Keiji's awesome new VPS.
Detectives found traces of lol hackers in the transmission which unfortunately went unnoticed before now.Hatsune Miku (初音ミク) is a Vocaloid created by Crypton on August 31, 2007 and voiced by Saki Fujita. The name was chosen by combining hatsu (初 first), ne (音 sound), and miku (未来 future). Soon after her release, users of the video-sharing website Nico Nico Douga started posting videos with songs created by the software, causing global recognition. Hatsune Miku received the 2008 Seiun Award in the free category. That's because she's so cooooooooooooooooo...l. OK, sorry 'bout that.
