On August 31st, it was officially confirmed that Miku's V4 update would be a V4X title and a demo was released showcasing a voicebank called "Hatsune Miku Original". It was also revealed that Miku's V4X would also contain 2 E.V.E.C. vocals: Soft and Power, though more E.V.E.C. vocals may be planned.

2016
On March 2nd, Wat reported that talk on Miku V4X would increase from this month onwards.

On the 15th of April it was verified the existence of "Solid Power". On the 17th of April, "Solid Power" began production.

Wat Tweeted that "Original Power" had a different sense from the Kagamine power, as it remains "cute" and does not have the same tension caused by their power. Fujita's voice had produced good overtones. On the 23rd April 2016, Wat reported the final checks of the power voice were done.

In May, the webpage for Miku V4X was changed and it was revealed that she was releasing in the summer of 2016. On May 12th, Wat tweeted that Miku Power was about 90% complete.

On June 11th, Wat tweeted that Miku Dark's tuning was finishing up. On the 17th, Wat stated that they were adjusting the "WHISPER" vocal for her which would be different than the "SWEET" one. Wat also tweeted that the new voicebank components have become 4 varieties, which are ORIGINAL - POWER, SOLID - POWER, SOFT - WHISPER, and DARK - WHISPER. These voicebanks will produce new pronunciation as a result of having different phonetic data from the standard voicebank. Although the recording Japanese voicebanks are 5 varieties, out of those in 4 voicebanks (ORIGINAL, SOLID, SOFT, and DARK) are combined and new pronunciation is contained in them. Wat noted that the standard VoiceColor is also included, however these are a different system from normal.
