A Nico Nico Douga search, of course! ( www.nicovideo.jp/search/%E5%88%9D%E9%9F%B3%E3%83%9F%E3%82%AF?page=2&sort=f&order=a ). Miku's first appearance in the form of a company demo appears around halfway down the page, August 29, 2007. I initially heard the tidbit from a friend, and I wanted to double-check for myself. I just searched "初音ミク" on the site and sifted through what I found. Miku released on August 31, 2007. The first videos actually relating to Miku are all from demos (which were all covers); however, after the August 31 mark, there is a large increase in Miku videos, though again, all covers or joke posts. About halfway down page 6 of the search is "White Letter", posted September 9, 2007 by GonGoss. 9 days after her release. Up until this point, everything is covers. Four days later, on September 13, "VOC@LOID in Love" (恋スルVOC@LOID) is released by OSTER Project, and yet four more days later on September 17 we get "School Water Costume" (すくーる・うぉーたー・こすちゅーむ) from Sukumizu-P. So yeh. Miku didn't really start to get popular in the West until she freaking exploded all over NND and some of her stuff got mirrored over onto YT, which is why a lot of western fans were exposed to later songs first.
The first demo was was named 01_Ballad. Hoshi no Kakera is the extended version. It was made 5 years after the original sond and it was included in the Miku 5th anniversary walkmans. (these things: www.ebay.com/p/Miku-Hatsune-Sony-Walkman-5th-Anniversary-Model-S764-Series-Black-Limited/2261160199 )
Heads up! This is NOT the first Miku song! The first Miku song was called “Hoshi no Kakera.” (Original Demo was titled “01_Ballad.”) This is actually the first FAN song! Just putting that out there for people confused.
I feel a special feeling in my stomach when I hear this song. I know this song since a few days and it can't be nostalgia... So... This song has a special aura and I love it. I'm glad it exists.
Dunno if this only happens to me, but this same thing happens to me with a *lot* of old Miku songs. Like, I will never truly know what it was like to be in the midst of the culture of Hatsune Miku back then, but looking at it from today's perspective makes you somehow miss it even though you were never there to experience it in the first place...! ...fuck, time is weird sometimes.
I’m a relatively new fan, since 2016, and old Vocaloid songs do have a very nostalgic feeling to them? They were the birth of something completely new, and they were songs to start the whole Vocaloid phenomenon, something very special in them
It’s weird to hear your guys perspectives! I like to think I started listening to vocaloid stuff back when it was just starting (2009) to take off a bit more in the rest of the world and I get so nostalgic listening to all this stuff :’)
when I first heard my cousin playing this on tik tok, I knew that this song was one of my type so I asked for the source and here I am... Also this part sounds like fireman which makes it even better 1:27
definitely didn't listen to this when it first came out, of course, but back when i was younger and had first gotten into anime, this song had popped up in my recommended. ever since then, it was my life. i set it to my alarm so i'd wake up to it every morning, i'd dance to it with my earbuds in the local supermarket, and i'd play it on my speaker every time my friends came over to my house so that they could hear it, too. fast forward a few years and i'm in a different country with a different alarm, different local supermarket, and different friends. maybe it's not the best sounding now that vocaloid's advanced so much, and maybe it has been years since i've really jammed out to this, but this song will always be my favorite song because it's the only way i can relive the memories of when my life was a bit better.
@@pandapan5797 es cierto :oo es la primera vez que escucho ésta canción y wow me sorprende como ha crecido la comunidad de Vocaloid. Me hubiese encantado estar en estas epocas pero apenas era una nenita pequeña que no sabía que existía el Internet ahh :'D
this makes me want to cry so bad that it hurts my head not because it was her first original song or something i just want to cry for some reason love this song though :]
the letter itself is blank. it's the meaning you put to it that matters, just like vocoid. miku searching for the meaning and the purpose of the letter in the beginning only to realize the meaning is all around her, the soft humming if the city....the letter is a reflection of everyone.
First time listening to this and man, I gotta say, with this being one of Miku's first songs ever made, it really has a strange atmosphere to it but EXTREMELY fitting. I'm not sure what the lyrics are, but just by the visuals and the "white letter" alone (that being an empty letter sent to her) Feels like she hasn't received any music/fans from people quite yet, and the whole MV is her searching around for that (if feels that way even more so given the empty white background she's walking around in, a world not filled with color and life for her yet). From the producer's perspective making this MV, it automatically feels so loving and retrospective towards the future of Miku. It feels like "01_ballad" was the first time she was activated, and "White Letter" are her first moments in the world.
Miku's original lore was that she was an android sent back in time to avert a bad future, so since this is the first Miku song, I like to imagine that this video is Miku exploring our world just after she arrived.
I made the last "hira hira" my SMS ringtone. Turned out nice, I recommend it to everyone addicted to the song. It has a serious flaw, though. Each SMS: "kumo no kirema kara hira hira..." can't stop myself from singing
im so sad that this has so little views compared to other songs from the same era (and even newer songs) because its so good. its incredibly important, being the first fan-written song and having come out not too long after miku’s release. yet, it seems like it’s incredibly underrated and relatively unknown despite this? idk. anyways. this is my favorite miku song and just favorite vocaloid song in general. its so good. i’m in awe every time i hear it.
If this is Miku's first original song made for her then why does nobody talk about it? or better yet why haven't they played this at any of her live shows? I'm confused.
ig im late, but the true reasons might be bc it's old, & bc it isn't in any project diva game. i guess personal opinion is subjective but this song is very cute imo and not much different than most acclaimed vocaloid songs
Someone recommended this to me in a discord chat. I showed my old toxic friends my playlist that was filled with vocaloid and it reminded me of them. Thank you random stranger, this helped me :)
wow it's been 15 years, since every time I hear it makes me nostalgic, and when I heard it for the first time it said "uploaded 1 day ago", I still remember this masterpiece fondly❤️
its so weird, seeing a vocaloid mv so old that the only characters in it are miku, meiko, and kaito- rin and len were about a month away from being released at the time of this reupload's publishing. its almost, idk, a lonely feeling?? it just doesn't feel right without the yellow (and pink) mixed in with the blue and red :(
After 14 years…I LOVE THIS SONG ITS SO CATCHY I love how old vocaloid sounds like..it’s so robotic and gives a vibe!! I want this to be in project diva mega mix.
Hoy en día después de 7 años, sigo escuchando esta canción con mucho cariño y amor, porque es de las primeras que escuche de Miku ✨ y nunca pierde su encantó
Omfg I remember hearing this song in an unofficial Hatsune Miku dress up game that was probably on GirlGoGames and I never knew the name until now! I'm so happy I found this song after so many years!! 💞💞💞
wow, just goes to show how far miku has come. I bet when this video was first made, nobody expected miku to get as popular as she is now and I hope it just gets better!
This video is just pouring with moe. The way Miku tilts her head side to side while reading, how the letter gets away from her when she tries to catch it the first time, the way she squats down when looking at the discarded radio... The BSOD doesn't happen very often to me, but it inevitably happens whenever I'm writing something very important. This is an amazing video, especially since there is much detail in the video as well as the sound. I love it!!!
Aaw the animation is so cute! Miku looks so inncoent, and holy cow does this video seem old! To think that this was posted when Miku was not out yet!!! o.o
In just 14 years Vocaloid has been capable of giving me such crazy nostalgia, I listen to an old song and suddenly I feel like I'm in high school again. Listening to the older songs White Letter, Triple Baka, etc etc - it's really amazing to think how far we've come in producing Miku's voice, computer generated voices even, and how human she sounds. I'll always love Miku's voice, from start to finish and everything in between. 😊
Fun fact: this was in fact the first original song written for Miku.
Proof?

@@baldimerl2020 this caught me so off guard i don’t even remember making this comment wtf

What even counts as a "fan song" for Vocaloid songs? Isn't every single song made with Vocaloid technically fanmade? Other than like, demo songs.
@@erraticcat3887 yes. they were specifying becuase 01_ballade is a demo song and not fan made
I feel a special feeling in my stomach when I hear this song.

This song has a special aura and I love it. I'm glad it exists.

It's surreal to think that I watched this video thirteen years ago. It's still one of my cherished songs.
I'm new to Vocaloid. Holy crap, this stuff is ancient. But they're bangers
same for me...
Plot twist: that letter is an invitation to Smash.
Isabelle sakurai please,,,,

Lessss gooooo

MIKU FOR SMASH
with that song evrything began huh, don't know why but this song brings me everytime to cry...

I’m actually here from Tiktok, I loved the beginning when I heard it the first time and I’m mad @ myself bc I couldn’t tell it was a vocaloid song wtf
MotionlessSociety / Jacey agree with you
Lol I’m also here from TikTok. 😂
I actually heard this song many years ago but i totally forgot about it until i heard it again on tiktok.
I was hoping it was a long lost Mario kart song... I thought wrong...
Monica Vazquez what’s the name of the tiktok help
i just love that intro synth honestly.. need to make a loop
Sameeeeeeee

Love the animation quality here! There's lots of subtle, realistic details and the watercolor look has its own charm.

can u reply to this comment?? i wanna see if you're alive and this comment is super funny to me XD
This song brings so much nostalgia to me I’m 22 now and I found it when I was in middle school I can’t believe how long has it been
me too and im also 22 the nostalgia hits like a truck my guy

12 years... And I'm now just finding out about this song. I'm late but this song is great.

this song for it to be 15 years ago, the quality of the mv is great
wow it's been 15 years, since every time I hear it makes me nostalgic, and when I heard it for the first time it said "uploaded 1 day ago", I still remember this masterpiece fondly❤️
The instrumentals remind me of another song that I can't figure out ;w;
ahh I love the art in this, such a nice job and so expressive! Really brings her to life.
The animation for this is really sweet, with a nice childish quality that makes me feel like I've seen it before. :) The song's cute too.
I discovered hatsune miku through this song playing on a dress up games of hers on dress up who.... I think I'm alone there lol
NOOOOOOOO IM THE SAME omfg rip to adobe flash player tho i cant play anything on dress up who anymore
AYEEE ME TOO I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS
There's a manga series with Vocaloid characters, and also some official albums, too I believe.
If it gets enough popularity, this will be animated.
its so weird, seeing a vocaloid mv so old that the only characters in it are miku, meiko, and kaito- rin and len were about a month away from being released at the time of this reupload's publishing. its almost, idk, a lonely feeling?? it just doesn't feel right without the yellow (and pink) mixed in with the blue and red :(
I was born the day after this video upload
There was a game page where I dressed Miku and that song was playing, I'm happy that after 8 years, I could find it, I love this song so much
Glad this vid is still here and not taken down. Copyright is so dumb
I got into the internet in 2016 but I know for sure I heard this song from the older kids on the other side of the road
13 years later and this is still one of my favorite vocaloid songs
After 14 years…I LOVE THIS SONG ITS SO CATCHY I love how old vocaloid sounds like..it’s so robotic and gives a vibe!! I want this to be in project diva mega mix.
wow i first saw this video 5 YEARS ago.. dang , still catchy tho lol
Remember now 5 years later
Saw this comment years ago and yes is still catchy af
Hoy en día después de 7 años, sigo escuchando esta canción con mucho cariño y amor, porque es de las primeras que escuche de Miku ✨ y nunca pierde su encantó
Kinda weird that I was 1 when this was released.
This is really underrated!
its been a minute since ive heard this and its still so good
It's 5:00 a.m. and I dreamed about this
So much nostalgia! I haven’t heard this in nearly 5-10 years. Time flies :’)
I still remember this song!!! It helped me practice japanese 😍 so many memories~
亡くなった父が昔よく聞いてたのを思い出したのですがタイトルが思い出せず、歌詞で検索してやっと見つかりました、、、、 耳への馴染み方が異常…
