posted on by Egan Loo
The first two video clip collections for the virtual idol singer Hatsune Miku shipped on February 10 and landed at #6 and #7 on Oricon's weekly DVD sales charts for Japan. They sold 9,059 and 8,978 copies respectively. The Hatsune Miku DVD ~memories~ and Hatsune Miku DVD ~impacts~ discs assembled 26 music videos created by supercell and other musical acts that have used Hatsune Miku's synthesized voice from YAMAHA Corporation's Vocaloid 2 software engine. The limited first pressings of the DVDs included a code for bonus footage of Hatsune Miku's holographic "appearance" at last August's Miku Fes'09 (Natsu) concert.
The Berryz Koubou Concert Tour 2009 Aki ~Medachitai–!!~ DVD debuted at #11.
