In a record shop, Ichika Hoshino stumbles upon a track by Hatsune Miku she has never heard. She presses play, and a synthesized voice fills the air, resonating with an uncanny familiarity. On the display screen, an unfamiliar image of Miku flashes; Ichika cannot help but exclaim, "Miku!?" The virtual singer reacts with surprise as their eyes lock, then vanishes almost instantly.
Later, after performing on a city corner, the same Miku image materializes on Ichika"s phone. The avatar looks melancholy; when Ichika gently inquires about her tale, Miku confesses that she longs to share songs with listeners, yet none seem to receive them.
Witnessing Ichika"s live shows touch countless hearts, Miku believes that by learning from her, she could achieve the same. She approaches Ichika, who smiles and replies, "If that"s okay with me." Ichika"s heart races as she realizes this encounter may change her life, and she vows to keep listening.
Thus begins a fresh chapter of Hatsune Miku and the young fans—.
