Hatsune Miku, the Vocaloid voice-synthesis software, continued to create a phenomenon in internet culture, especially among teenagers and around video-sharing sites. This best collection celebrates two years since her arrival. At the time, Miku videos on Nico Nico had exceeded two hundred million views, with fifty thousand related uploads; the selected favourites together accounted for over thirty-six million views.

Led by supercell’s hugely popular Melt, the collection brings together hit creators whose music helped define the scene. Sony Music, which released supercell’s long-selling album that debuted at number four on Oricon, and Nico Nico operator dwango jointly planned the companion releases Hatsune Miku Best Memories and Hatsune Miku Best Impacts.

The collection surveys the scope of Hatsune Miku’s impact on twenty-first-century pop music, celebrating the songs that brought this internet-born phenomenon to a wider audience.
