Hatsune Miku Gets Her Own 'Professional' NHK Documentary

Virtual music star Hatsune Miku will be the star of the next episode of the NHK documentary series Professional: Shigoto no Ryugi (Professional Work Style), which profiles high-level people in their field of work or showbusiness. The documentary ponders the statement, "How was the 16-year-old, who shocked the Japanese music scene, born and what has changed since her birth? From the minds of many, we get a closer look at her style."

Being the virtual star that Miku is, the documentary will interview the software's creators; project leader Kenmochi Hideki, Crypton Future Media developer Wataru Sasaki, and VOCALOID producer DECO*27. These interviews are previewed in a trailer for the special.
