* Defictionalization: Japanese drink manufacturer ITO EN had once made a real life version of Miku's vegatable juice featured in "[=PoPiPo=]" back in 2012.

* NewbieBoom: To say Music/{{Vocaloid}} received a boom upon her release is the Main/{{Understatement}} of the century. In years prior, Vocaloid was rather niche and while it wasn't a failure, it struggled to attract a larger audience. However, this all changed when Hatsune Miku arrived in 2007, as she and the early success of her videos would cause Vocaloid as a whole to receive a massive surge in popularity and become known in the mainstream after being a niche product years prior. It helps that Hatsune Miku came out at a time by which the internet and video sharing sites like [=NicoNicoDouga=] and [=YouTube=] were truly starting to take off, which also played a large factor in Vocaloid's boom in popularity.

* CrossDressingVoices: She's been used in to portray male and female characters alike in songs. A popular example of this is "Ren'ai Saiban", a song by [=40mP=] where the song is from the perspective of a boy trying to win back his girlfriends heart.
