Hatsune Miku

Akatsuki no Kuruma

After a week of fiddling around and playing with Miku I managed to get this piece done.
It was quite difficult for me since I havn’t had any musical training since…2003? And even then I wasn’t that great ^^;
It also doesn’t help that my Japanese isn’t all that good either~

I’m not sure if I’ll be doing any other Miku renditions of songs, but who knows, enjoy this one XD

So I did two versions, one with just Hatsune Miku, and another with her and the original singer FictionJunction YUUKA.

Miku Solo version:

Duet version:

I had quite a bit of trouble figuring out how to use all the properties of Miku’s voice, and I know I still got a lot to explore. I don’t really see myself doing this all the time but it sure was fun trying different things… like making her say onii-chan :3

The image of Miku in the video was made to look similar to the original cover by FictionJunction YUUKA

1000×887

640×480

The actual drawing of Miku tho was done by かぐらゆうき (Kagura Yuki) who happened to be the one that also drew Yayoi on the top headers you see.

Anyway, Miku’s voice was obviously done in VOCALOID2, the mixing was done in Adobe Audition 2.0, imagery was done in Adobe Photoshop CS3, video in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and encoding by VirtualDub.
