https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhQPfd_HpW8 Crypton Future Media, Inc. (Headquarters: Sapporo, Hokkaido; CEO: Hiroyuki Ito; hereinafter “Crypton”) released a teaser page for its new product, “Hatsune Miku V6,” scheduled for official release in the first half of 2026, on Friday, October 31, 2025. On the teaser page, you can listen to a demo video of the new product, currently in development, singing “Prism” (Roji feat. Hatsune Miku). In addition, we plan to provide the “Hatsune Miku V6” Early Access version (Japanese voice library only) free of charge to users of the previous VOCALOID “Hatsune Miku” series around mid-December 2025. More information about this product will be released in due course, so please stay tuned. “Hatsune Miku V6” teaser page: https://sonicwire.com/product/virtualsinger/special/miku-v6 What is “Hatsune Miku” anyway? “Hatsune Miku” is a singing voice synthesis software (also known as virtual singer software) that allows you to make a character sing by inputting lyrics and melodies. It first launched on August 31, 2007, as “VOCALOID2 Hatsune Miku,” a software featuring the VOCALOID engine, a singing voice synthesis technology developed by Yamaha Corporation. As music created with the software was posted online in large numbers, a chain of creative endeavors, including illustrations, songs, and dances, spread, becoming a cultural phenomenon driven by user-generated content. Now, she has gone beyond the framework of software and is recognized by many people as a virtual singer, and her activities have expanded to include merchandise sales and concert performances both in Japan and overseas.

Of course, while Hatsune Miku’s activities as a virtual singer have increased, she has also evolved as software. Currently, Hatsune Miku is available in two versions: one featuring the VOCALOID engine (hereafter referred to as the VOCALOID version) and one featuring an engine developed independently by Crypton (hereafter referred to as the NT version). Most recently, in March 2025, we officially released the latest version of the NT version, “Hatsune Miku NT (Ver.2)”. Hatsune Miku V6, whose teaser page has just been released, is the latest VOCALOID version of Hatsune Miku and will include voice libraries in Japanese, English, and Chinese*. VOCALOID6 is equipped with the new VOCALOID:AI function, which uses AI technology to synthesize more natural singing voices, enabling fluent singing that blends Japanese, English, and Chinese. Please keep an eye on future developments as Hatsune Miku continues to evolve as software. *Chinese is expected to be supported in a free update after the official release of “Hatsune Miku V6.” If you want to be the first to know about the singing voice synthesis software products planned and developed by Crypton, please follow the official account of SONICWIRE, a download store for digital creators. 【SONICWIRE Official Website / Social Media Accounts】 Official Website: https://sonicwire.com/ Official X: https://x.com/cfm_sonicwire Official YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@cfm_sonicwire Official Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cfm_sonicwire Official TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cfm.sonicwire [Contact information] Crypton Future Media, Inc., Interviews and Public Relations Officer https://www.crypton.co.jp/cfm/inquiry-media
