Once uploaded on Website/NicoNicoDouga in 2008, and soon after on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIVX0OUC4Uc YouTube]], both the song (preformed by [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]]) and character became a massive success (on the internet anyway).

** This is taken to it's logical conclusion in [[VideoGame/HatsuneMikuProjectDiva Project Diva F]], where the last note is always a Star Note in the middle of the screen, in the exact same spot as a white star appears on the video itself.

* InNameOnly: An interesting case with the adaptations in that it's not so much TheyJustDidntCare, but there's so little information provided about anything in the original PV that the interpretations become widely diverged from each other.

Originally, Black★Rock Shooter was a character created by an artist known as ''huke'', among plenty of other material that he uploaded to his Website/{{Pixiv}} profile. One fateful day ''ryo'', leader of Music/{{Vocaloid}} synthesizer band ''{{Supercell}}'', approached huke to create a song after having been inspired by his work, while also inviting him to join the creative team of the band. This way, the two collaborated on a music video, with huke making some small adjustments to Black★Rock Shooter's design and creating the version known today.

* CharacterTitle: [[CaptainObvious Black Rock Shooter]]

* TheNotRemix: The 2M Mix, made to commemorate the original version having been downloaded over 2 million times, contains redone vocals and instrumentals, but follows the same structure as the original.

* CoolBike: B★RS has one in the 3D PV.

* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl: STR, WRS.

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience:

* GirlishPigtails: Black★Rock Shooter.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: B★RS has two very prominent scars. One on her right hip, stretching from right above her pelvis around towards her back and a smaller straight one right below her left breast. Both scars are somewhat stitched up looking.
