NHK WORLD RADIO JAPAN Runs Segment on Hatsune Miku

This past Saturday, NHK WORLD RADIO JAPAN ran a twenty minute English segment on Hatsune Miku as part of their Japanese Pop Culture Magazine series of programs. This program, like others, are broadcast over the airwaves, and they are relayed by stations outside of Japan as well. Furthermore, recent broadcasts can also be streamed from the official website. This segment introduced Hatsune Miku and talked to Crypton CEO Hiroyuki Itoh, HachiojiP, and WakamuraP to describe various aspects of the virtual idol and the phenomenon surrounding her. The radio show also played segments of World is Mine (to introduce the virtual diva) and Hajimete no Oto (to demonstrate her natural singing) from the concerts, as well as electric love (after talking to HachiojiP), Tell Your World (as an example of collaborations with other companies) and Kagerou Days (to close the show with the latest hit song).
