01 ballade

Background
"01_ballade" is Hatsune Miku's first demo song. A full version, "Hoshi no Kakera" (Fragments of a Star), was later made. 01_ballade has received unofficial extended versions and covers. According to an interview, this was the first time the composer, Eiji Hirasawa, had ever written lyrics, and that he never really thought about being the first Miku producer.

Data files for "01_ballade_full" were included on Kagamine Rin \ Len's DVD. It can be heard rendered with Miku's vocals here.

Lyrics
'※These are the full lyrics to "Hoshi no Kakera''". 01_ballade is verse five.'''
