A fancy ska inspired original track with a badass guitar riff!

Today, four years ago (October 17th, 2007) marked an important day in the history of Hatsune Miku. Just barely two weeks after her initial release, the popularity on the Japanese internet had raised to such insane levels, that Google and Yahoo Japan started blocking results for the keywords “Hatsune Miku” – because they were falsely identified as spam due to the sheer amount of traffic generated.

The outcry and sadness about the “disappearance of Hatsune Miku” have been so loud that just a few hours later Google and Yahoo officially apologized and lifted the block on the search results.

Happiness was restored and a legendary song was born.

If you have been living under a rock for the past four years, I hope you enjoyed today’s history lesson.

Latest from ぽわぽわP. Great production. Sounds a bit like early Nakata, don’t you think?

FLEET’s debut using Hatsune Miku results in an instant-classic of stellar production quality and perfect arrangement. If you want to find out more about FLEET, please visit their official website or check them out on MySpace.

Their new mini-album “TRANSIT” will be released near the end of this month. You can order their previously published works and their upcoming CD at CD-Japan.

And nope, your speakers did not just stop working halfway through. Sound indeed stops there.
