- Sound Horizon, a popular band that uses music to tell stories, used Miku Hatsune in their third single "Ido e Itaru Mori e Itaru Ido" and its corresponding album, "Marchen". Saki Fujita, the seiyuu that provided her voice, also does narrations.
- In Sega's game "Vocaloid Project Diva: Dreamy Theater", for the Playstation 3, Miku Hatsune can gain access to a costume based off Sega's very own Ulala from Space Channel 5, an older dancing game from Sega. She gains Ulala's trademark white Space Channel 5 Uniform, and her hair and eyes change to Ulala's hair and eye colors. In addition, her outfit and trademark negi make an appearance as obtainable and equippable items in Sega's RPG series Phantasy Star Zero, Phantasy Star Portable 2 and it's update Phantasy Star Portable 2: Infinity contains the same items and more, as well as items for Crypton's other Vocaloids.
- Miku is often mistaken as the very first Vocaloid ever produced by those new or unfamiliar to the software's history, or the first Vocaloid 2 released. While she was the first Vocaloid 2 to be released for the Japanese market, it was PowerFX's Sweet Ann who claimed the place as the first Vocaloid 2 to be released, she was released 2 months prior to Miku. When Miku became more known in 2010, the media also incorrectly labelled her as this as well. On more than one occasion Crypton Future Media have labelled her as the first, though this is likely an error as they usually introduce her as "the first of the character vocal series".
- Miku also made a cameo appearance in a Weekly Jump strip.[60]
- Since the trial version had enough vocal capabilities to function as a normal Vocaloid, hackers were reported to have found out how to turned off the limit of 30 days for her 30 day trial versions.
- Like the English use, creative usage of Miku can result in another language, Indonesian is one of them, it is known that Miku has sang the national anthem of Indonesia, "Indonesia Raya"
- The thin squares around her pigtails are futuristic ribbons made of a special material that float in place. As seen in Kei's art for Miku, they are able to hold Miku's pigtails in place without having to physically touch the hair itself. The ribbons are also reported by Kei to be the hardest item on the character's design for cosplayers to recreate.
- Since 2010, Miku has won the classification of "Virtual Diva" and has become a pop star in her own right. However, some reports mislabel her as "the first virtual star" when other "virtual stars" have been released prior to her existence as early as the mid-1990s, although these "stars" never rose to the level of popularity Miku has reached.
- Miku is also not the first Vocaloid to debut in America as Zero-G's Vocaloids were already on sale before her.
- The singer Kerli has made several references to Miku in her videos. In the most direct reference, Miku's music was used as the background music in a video for the making of a prop for one of her videos. In "Tea Party", a twin pigtailed doll is seen. In "Army of Love", a microphone is used by the singer, a reference to "Love is War". In 2011, the singer also dyed her hair the same color as Miku's hair and even wore it in long pigtails.
- Miku's popularity has expanded enough to have her appearance make cameos in various anime and manga, such as in Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Miku is seen in the auditions of the role of Meru Meru.[61] In the OVA of Lucky Star, Hiiragi Kagami is forced to cosplay as Miku by the power of Konata's wand. [62].She and Rin are in a choir featured in Maria†Holic episode 12. [63] Miku is also seen episode 11 of the anime Baka To Test To Shoukanjuu, in the B class. [64]. A recolored Miku is also seen in episode 9 of MM! at the school festival holding a stick in the shape of a leek. In the anime Usagi Drop, in episode 6 a leek very similar to Miku's can be seen in a shopping bag.
- Due to her iconic long twintails, her close physical similarities and her specialization of music, Sona fromLeague of Legends is seen as a tribute to Hatsune Miku. This is not the only time the game made tribute characters; Lux was also seen as a tribute to Touhou heroine Marisa Kirisame, down to her magical abilities and even catchphrase.
