Songs using Yamaha's voice synthesis technology 'Vocaloid' were already available when Niconico Douga (γ) started its service in March 2007. However, Hatsune Miku , the character that established the Vocaloid culture on the Internet, was released on August 31, 2007, so it took a while for Hatsune Miku cover videos to appear.

The oldest Hatsune Miku video available at the time of writing is a video of her singing 'Ievan Polkka,' posted on September 5, 2007, a few days after the release of the product. It appeared about six months after the Ievan Polkka video by Orihime Inoue was posted. This video is the reason why Hatsune Miku has the image of a leek.

After that, people started releasing original songs sung by Hatsune Miku, in addition to existing songs. People who release songs using Vocaloid are called 'Vocaloid Ps', and many of them are active beyond NicoNico Douga. The following song, which is known as an image song for Hatsune Miku, was posted on September 20, 2007.
