“Project SEKAI The Movie: A Broken World and Miku Who Can’t Sing”
“Tell me about yourself. Then maybe I’ll understand the song.” Ichika Hoshino heard a song by Miku that she had never heard at a CD shop. She saw a never-before-seen “Hatsune Miku” on the monitor and blurted out, “Miku!?”. Miku was surprised by the voice and made eye contact with Ichika, but she disappeared shortly after. Later, after finishing a street performance, Miku, whom she had seen before, appeared on Ichika’s smartphone. Miku looked down sadly, and Ichika asked her about it.
She told her that some people wanted to deliver their songs to her, but no matter how much she sang, the songs never reached them. Seeing Ichika delivering her songs to the hearts of many people at her live performance, Miku thought that she could do the same if she knew about her, so she came to Ichika. Ichika answered Miku’s wish with a smile, “If you don’t mind me,” and a new story of Hatsune Miku and the boys and girls begins.
