This type of technical coverage was even possible long after Miku's initial release and methods of adapting her vocals are the most well documented among the VOCALOID2 era vocals. Since the success of her voicebank led to an expansion of marketing possibilities, most of the mass marketing has come after her initial release as a response to her popularity. Even with the addition of other Character Vocals, Miku's name continues to be used as the primary source of marketing for Crypton Future Media.
Around January 28, , a 3 day survey was run by Tokyo Polytechnic University. Corolla Miku, presented in , wears slightly different attire compared to KEI's original design: instead of one skirt stripe and single floating ribbons, she now has two, as was intended by the client. In , Crypton began to focus on marketing Miku to U.
When the song finally went on sale, it came 7th in the top 10 World singles list on iTunes in its first week of sales. Hatsune Miku". Crypton had to consider who they were aiming the advertisements of Miku at mostly the web fanbase and had to check the differences between the Japanese and English fan communities.
Since Crypton had always sold Miku as a virtual instrument in Japan, they asked their Japanese fan base if it was acceptable for them to sell her as a virtual singer to the new market audience. Crypton Future Media do not approve of using Miku in politics. This is, so far, one of the biggest areas of marketing that Miku has avoided being used for. Despite this, her mascot was not used; instead, a pink twin-tailed girl dubbed Android Rui replaced her.
Crypton Future Media also applied for trademark on the 26th of June When the tsunami hit Japan in , Miku was chosen as a character who would help represent Japan. This was because of how common her image was appearing with many younger people knowing who she was. She was already in music based textbooks and her influence on music was heavily known by the Minister for Education for Japan. The fact that products with Miku can sell out quickly makes her attractive to even slow growing industries.
Products with Miku on them can even sell out in public events within 30 minutes of events opening to the public. This helps fuel marketing in even handcrafted trades, as fans are attracted to these "one of a kind" products. The initial sales of Hatsune Miku were so high that Crypton could not keep up with the demand. In the first 12 days of sale, nearly 3, sales reservations were made. This was around one sale in in the music software industry, quoted as "an impossible number" by Wataru Sasaki — the person in charge of the planning and production.
To add perspective, normally selling 1, copies of a synthesizing software was considered good business. Miku's Append was not as well received as her original voicebank, though it managed to stay in the top ten products from Crypton Future Media. However, it disappeared from the list entirely from time to time. Despite this, it has been known to have reached the top 3 products on occasion, as well as to knock other CV vocals further down the charts.
For example, in August it was in 10th place, the following month it went up to 6th place. Hatsune Miku V3 was reported to have over saturated Yamaha's servers with requests for activation upon release. Other Vocaloid products sold by Cryton Future Media ended up being misplaced from their normal ranking spots. This was the first time the Vocaloid products had been impacted drastically since their charts began.
For most of , Hatsune Miku's V3 and Hatsune Miku V3 complete packages held the 1st and 2nd spot of the product rankings. In both and , a number of Miku products took the top 10 sales rankings of Vocaloid packages sold on Crypton's Sonicwire download store.
In , the Hatsune Miku English package held 7th place, while the Hatsune Miku V3 package held 2nd and the English bundle version 1st. However, not everything produced for Miku is highly successful.
Aside from the original Hatsune Miku tone of voice, her "Dark" tone voicebank, Miku's vocals have had far less popularity with "Vivid" and "Light" being later dropped in her V4x release altogether. The voice itself had become become a "standard" vocal for the engine by her V4x release, with Miku becoming "The Vocaloid".
The bundle claimed 1st place while Megurine Luka V3X held 3rd place. Nico Nico Douga played a fundamental role in the recognition and popularity of the software today.
