“The first time I came into contact with Hatsune Miku was 15 years ago, when I was in elementary school. Anybody with a copy of the singing synthesizer software could join in the scene, which was a brand new concept and totally different from any music I had been listening to up until then. Imperfect, various, no face or name in the credits. The open margins and ruggedness excited me. I want to preserve this culture. I don’t want that excitement I felt back then to disappear. I want Hatsune Miku to provide a culture shock to someone again. There is value in music that nobody understands. Those who came before me built this free and open market, so I won’t overthink it and just selfishly create what I want to create. That is the kind of song this is. I hope that this song will be the culture shock for people who are coming in to the scene in the future.” —Composer's comment
"Culture" is an original song produced by Tsumiki featuring Hatsune Miku. It was commissioned to be the release song for the official Hatsune Miku YouTube Channels “39ch” renewal. The song was later uploaded to Crypton Future Media's official Niconico and bilibili channels.
A year later, Crypton Future Media launched a "#MikuChallenge" campaign for the Hatsune Miku Happy 16th Birthday Project. Part of this campaign includes three new PVs for this song: a Dance Performance Video, Miku singing the song with a red background behind her, and a Dance Practice Video.
The original video has exceeded 1 million views on YouTube, entered the Hall of Fame on Niconico, and exceeded 200,000 views on bilibili.

Japanese (日本語歌詞)
Romaji (ローマ字)
往き場の無い机上に或る市場 我楽多と化する警告
yukiba no nai kijou ni aru shijou garakuta to kasuru keikoku
従っては理想を歌う美女「浪漫に美醜を感じないで」
shitagatte wa risou o utau bijo "roman ni bishuu o kanjinaide"
ほら段段曖昧なものだけを感じ合っては鈍感化している
hora dandan aimai na mono dake o kanjiatte wa donkan kashite iru
永遠は今に有る 誰も識らないミュージックに踊れや
eien wa ima ni aru dare mo shiranai myuujikku ni odore ya
カルチャ・ショック！
karucha shokku!
もしやディスコミュニケーション？
moshiya disukomyunikeeshon?
カルチャ・ショック！
karucha shokku!
こんなダンスナンバーじゃあ踊れない？
konna dansunanbaa jaa odorenai?
鯔の詰まり自暴と成す市場 あやふやに繋ぐ伝言
bara no tsumari jibou to nasu shijou ayafuya ni tsunagu dengon
疑いも無く思想を発す美女「空の蒼さだけ愛して居ようぜ」
utagai mo naku shisou o hassu bijo "sora no aosa dake aishite iyou ze"
そんな簡単で間違い無いことだけを歌い合っては泡沫化している
sonna kantan de machigai nai koto dake o utaiatte wa houmatsuka shite iru
全然足りやしない 誰も識らないミュージックに踊れや
zenzen tariyashinai dare mo shiranai myuujikku ni odore ya
