Due to the rising popularity of vocaloids like “Hatsune Miku”, NHK radio will begin airing a new radio program called “ERE Uta!” on April 30th, which will showcase vocaloid songs. They will have a special one hour and 30 minute program on March 21st at 19:20 called, “ERE Uta ver.0.1!”.

Through this program, listeners can submit their own music made with voice synthesis software, they can request songs for the theme of the month, and they can recommend program personalities and guests. It’s a two-way request program, where new net talents can be showcased and listeners can show off their work.

The program personalities are Momoi Haruko, voice actress and actress Hanazawa Kana, and NHK announcer Moriyama Haruka. However, for the “ERE Uta ver.0.1!” show, only Momoi and Moriyama will be present. Hatsune Miku’s voice, Fujita Saki, and former ITmedia reporter, Okada Yuka, have been chosen as guests for the special show.

Furthermore, the request theme for “ERE Uta ver.0.1!” is “My highest recommendation” and the submission deadline is March 10th.

    These are the main most well known Vocaloid characters : Hatsune Miku, Kaito, Megurine Luka, Kagamine Rin & Len (they’re not siblings, they’re mirror images of each other), Gakupo, and Meiko.
    They are computerized voices to sing songs that a person made on their own – you can buy a software to make voice synthesized music. Crypton Future Media Inc. are the makers of Hatsune Miku, Meiko, and Kaito – they were the ones that brought fame to Vocaloid.
    INTERNET Co. ltd make Megpoid/Gackpoid.
    Vocaloids are technically artists, although they’re bashed a lot for “not being artists” but stupid computerized figures, which I personally disagree.
    Many different people can make songs/song series in order for Vocaloids to sing them. Like monthy is an extremely famous Vocaloid song producer, known for making the “Daughter/Servant of Evil” series of songs.
    I’m not suer if thats what you wanted to know, but I hope you get the concept o 3o b
