May 16 - MIKUBOOK.com celebrates ONE MILLION faves with All-Time Top-20 Vocaloid Video Ranking On the same day that Hatsune Miku's Facebook page is celebrating their 500,000th like, MIKUBOOK has also reached a major milestone. The file-sharing website for fans of Crypton Future Media's vocaloids (and a few others) relies on "faves" from fans to determine video rankings.

Visitors to MIKUBOOK who sign in to their account can click on the pink banner at the top of the page. They get a little "Thank You!" from Miku and a fun graphics display appears.

May 16 - Hatsune Miku Facebook Page Hits HALF-MILLION Likes and Celebrates with Cover Art Contest - Early this morning, Hatsune Miku's Facebook page received its 500,000th "like" and is now celebrating by offering fourteen artists the chance of a lifetime - to see their work showcased as the cover art for Hatsune Miku's Facebook page.
To celebrate reaching the magic number, Hatsune Miku's Facebook page is accepting submissions from prospective artists for the next two weeks. During that time a new illustration from the entries will be selected each day to appear as the cover art for Miku's Facebook page.
Contest entrants must post their work on Hatsune Miku's Facebook wall or tag their photo "Hatsune Miku". All illustrations must be sized 851 x 315 pixels. Full contest rules are posted on Hatsune Miku's Facebook page.
May 6 - Good Smile Company Releases 10th Anniversary Commercial - Celebrating of the start of their 11th year in business, the Good Smile Company Inc. of Japan is streaming a 30-second commercial featuring Hatsune Miku and a few of the thousands of photos sent in for GSC's Let's Create Miku Art campaign.
The commercial features Miku singing Good Smile Brings Future, composed by the vocaloid producer Travolta-P (the creator of Kagamine Rin's Kokoro). The voiceover was provided by Miku's voice provider Saki Fujita.
As part of a charity campaign for earthquake relief, GSC asked customers to send in photos of their favourite GSC vocaloid figurines along with a 100 yen (about $1.30 USD) contribution for each photo. The photos were then combined into a giant mosaic that was put on display at the 2012 Winter Wonder Festival in February.
GSC has also thanked their customers who participated in the Cheerful Japan disaster relief program. GSC had produced a new special figurine each month for an entire year, with part of the proceeds from the sales of each figurine going to the disaster relief fund in Japan. The commercial features a short animation of the Hatsune Miku Cheerful Version, which was one of the figurines offered by the program.
The commercial (below) will be seen on Japanese TV during episodes of Accel World and Fate/Zero.
May 5 - The MikuMikuDance Tda Miku Append is Now Available for Free! - MMD fans look out - the Tda (pronounced TEE-dah) Append is back and she's cuter (and hotter) than ever!
The Tda Miku was originally released to great fanfare by Tda, her creator, on February 17 this year, as a download available for 525 yen (about $6.60 USD) from Melonbooks. It was pulled from circulation less than a week later when it was determined that Tda was violating Piapro Character License (PCL) rules. Tda has made some improvements to his model prior to its re-release (as a free download) on April 30.
The MMD model can be downloaded from Tda's blog at this link. Tda will be providing some additional files to go with his Miku Append at a later date.
More details on the Tda Miku Append can be found in the February 21 article on MikuBlog!.
May 5 - Hatsune Miku Good Smile BMW Wins Round 2 of the Super GT300 - Friday's rain-soaked second-round GT300 race was won by the Hatsune Miku Good Smile Racing team BMW. Good Smile drivers Nobuteru Taniguchi and Tatsuya Kataoka completed the 500 km race in a time of 3:21'52.575 at the Fuji Speedway in the Shizuoka Prefecture. The Good Smile Racing's ProjectMirai BMW took 11th place in the same race.
The Good Smile team has had an excellent start to the season. On April 1, they claimed third place in the first round race at the Okayama International Circuit in the Okayama Prefecture. Last year the Hatsune Miku BMW claimed the GT300 championship in October after winning round 3 in Malaysia and round 6 in Japan.
Below: Some highlights from Friday's race.
May 5 - The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku to be made into a Novel - As a continuation of this year's trend to novelize popular vocaloid songs, publisher Ichijinsha will be releasing a book on July 6, based on Hatsune Miku's classic song The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku (Hatsune Miku no Shōshitsu).
The novel (left) is to be a collaboration between writer Mimuya Aga and vocaloid producer cosMo(at)BousouP, the composer of the original song that Exit Tunes released as part of the album of the same name in August 2010. The novel will follow the story of Hatsune Miku from her creation until her "disappearance".
The original Disappearance of Hatsune Miku is based on the true story of Miku's deletion from the search engines Google and Yahoo in October 2007 after their servers incorrectly identified her name as "spam" and locked it out. After a massive outcry from fans, both search engines apologized and restored Miku only a day later. To this day, many Hatsune Miku fans still observe "Disappearance Day" each October 17.
So far this year novels have already been distributed based on Miku's song Rain of Cherry Blossoms (Sakura no Ame) and Kagamine Rin's song Kokoro. The new novel can be pre-ordered from Amazon.com at this link.
