Yowane Haku

=History==

Voice Configuration
Haku is previously marked as badly-done Miku Hatsune songs, and in earlier times, are downpitched Miku songs. However some have tried to give her an actual voice. The following is one example of an actual configuration that produces an approximate voice for Haku, as a mature-sounding Miku.

Another configuration suggests a manipulation of MEIKO's voicebank to produce Haku's voice, but such configuration is not yet publicly available.

Popular Appearances
Haku has made some outside appearances, due to her popularity, and is featured in some programs and media. She is officially recognized by Crypton Future Media (Publisher of the Character Vocal Series, from which Miku, Rin, Len and Luka came from) as a derivative of Vocaloid. Neru Akita, Meiko Sakine, Miku Hachune, and Tako Luka are the other four fanmade characters similarly recognized.


 * 1) A cameo appearance in the manga Hatsune Mix by Kei Garou (Crypton's Character Vocal Series illustrator) as Neru's student, a taxi driver, with Teto as they observe Rin and Len, and later seen with MEIKO drinking.
 * 2) She appears in the game Hatsune Miku Project Diva as an unlockable character, with a noticeably contrasting disposition, being more light and cheerful. The same holds true for Neru. However, in it's Sequel, Haku is more noticeably how she should be, same could be said for Neru as well.
 * 3) She is a usable model for MikuMikuDance since version 3.0, which let users choreograph Haku’s dancing.

Notable Works
While Haku is regarded to sing any song that is a "failure" song of Miku, since she can have a voice config, it is possible for her to have an individual song dedicated to her.

あなたのVOYAKILOID / Anata no VOYAKILOID (Your VOYAKILOID)
Originally sung by Miku Hatsune Original music and lyrics by Azuma/Boku-P Haku's cover and lyrics arranged by Bonjin-P "Your VOYAKILOID" is a parody of Miku's original song "Your Diva." Basically, it's Haku telling whoever bought her that she from now on is their VOYAKILOID. She talks about being considered horrible, and she constantly brings sake and drinking into the song. In all honesty, she wants to tell everyone her feelings through songs, but she choses to be worthless because she will forever only be a singing robot and have the voice of a singing robot. She then explains though that she's fine the way she is. After all, the one who installed her is her "drinking buddy." She finally states that she will keep drinking because she is (your) VOYAKILOID.

The final song in the "Evil Series" started by Rin and Len Kagamine. Haku is a girl living in the green country and is ridiculed and looked down upon by everyone because her hair is white. Despondent and alone, Haku makes a trip to the an old tree where she prays for a friend. She later finds an unconscious green-haired girl and nurses her back to health. The girl, Miku, is beautiful and sweet, and loved by the village, and yet she befriends Haku.

Together the girls run off to the city to live there, and while they have hardships working as maids for a wealthy merchant women, they live happily because they are together. One day, however, the king of the blue kingdom across the sea sees Miku and falls in love with her - so much in love that he denies the marriage offer from the Daughter of Evil. Angry, the Daughter of Evil makes an order to kill all of the green-haired women. As Haku sees all of the green-haired women dead, she cries and wishes that she could have died in Miku's stead.

Hearing rumors that the Daughter of Evil was finally killed in the revolution, Haku decides to start over and live at a church in a port town. Soon, she finds a girl near the church and nurses her back to health. Haku and the girl, Rin, become friends in the same way Miku and Haku did. However, Haku overhears a confession Rin is making in the confession box and finds that Rin is actually the Daughter of Evil. Enraged, Haku sneaks up on Rin while she is mulling near a harbor and tries to kill Rin with a knife but realizes that Rin is a lonely girl like Haku used to be. As Haku teaches Rin to do work and notices that her cooking has improved, she sees a phantom boy near the sea...

The song makes references to the song "Regret Message" and it seems to confirm that "Regret Message" and the Evil Series are related. It also made #1 in the Weekly Vocaloid Ranking, 119.

Haku reflects on the Nico users' view of her as boring/useless (tsumanne) and drinks to soothe her sorrows. In a similar vein to "Turkish March Owata" Haku finds herself late to a meeting with Neru, who yells at her over the phone for oversleeping. As the two finally meet up after a series of mishaps, they remember they were supposed to meet the next week.
