\n\tBefore AI fears took over the scene, there were Vocaloids: virtual holographic musicians hailing from Japan.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe most notable and frankly, most iconic, of the bunch? Hatsune Miku<\/a>, a blue-haired pigtailed sixteen-year-old girl Vocaloid software<\/a> voicebank developed by Crypton Future Media back in 2007. If you can believe it, the virtual singer has been selling out shows and snagging brand deals left and right since her conception despite not being real.<\/p>\n \n\tThese days, when the hologram<\/a> is touring all over North America at her 2026 Miku Expo or racking up billions of streams on Spotify with a whopping 3,443,733 monthly listeners, she\u2019s lending her likeness to Sony<\/a> for a collaboration. The company just dropped limited-edition LinkBuds in a seafoam green<\/a>, to match Miku\u2019s colorscheme, currently retailing for $249.99<\/a>. Prospective buyers can shop the new earbuds<\/a> on Sony\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tExplore\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \t<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n See latest videos, charts and news<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t\tLinkBuds Fit Truly Wireless Noise Canceling Earbuds | Green x Hatsune Miku \t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n \n\t\tLimited-edition earbuds in a seafoam green.\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n\tThese wireless buds come in a sleek, matching seafoam green charging case<\/a> that\u2019s small enough to stick in your pocket and carry with you on the go. The style is noise-cancelling, filtering out any unwanted background noise so you can bump to Miku tracks like \u201cWorld is Mine\u201d and \u201cPoPiPo\u201d without interruption. If the noise-cancelling aspect is too much, simply turn on Ambient Sound Mode that allows the user an awareness of their surroundings without filtering out the music. Speaking of sound, the quality is crisp and clear thanks to Sony\u2019s Dynamic Driver X, designed to deliver wide frequency response for richer vocals and enhanced sound. If all that didn\u2019t sell you, these buds also have a whopping 21-hour battery life.<\/p>\n \n\tAlong with your purchase of the collaborative earbuds, you\u2019ll receive a limited-edition acrylic earbud stand with newly illustrated artwork by illustrator Ogipote, along with two original HoloModels of Hatsune Miku<\/a>. Fans will also receive access to a special campaign song and animated performance of \u201cBELIEVE DAY,\u201d viewable through the HoloModels app. Simply download the app to bring Hatsune Miku to life anywhere and capture photos in real-world settings.<\/p>\n \n\tWhile the concept might be foreign to some, Vocaloids are extremely popular and have been for some time now. They are singing voice synthesizer software products, often with attached personas that are fully realized to interact with fans. The developed software allows users to synthesize \u201csinging\u201d by typing in lyrics and melody, creating a tune alongside specially recorded vocals of voice actors or singers. The software was only available in English at first, with the first Vocaloids, named Leon, Lola and Miriam, cropping up in 2004. Later, a Japanese version named Meiko<\/a> and Kaito made by Yamaha appeared, developed by the same company that would go on to create Miku, Crypton Future Media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.billboard.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors.
