The Yellow Miku: The Rise of Akita Neru

Akita Neru, AKA “the yellow one that wasn’t in Mesmerizer”, has always been one of the strangest and most fascinating parts of Vocaloid history. From her beginnings as a personification of 2007 forum trolls to becoming the face of the fanloid movement, Neru was once everywhere… before fading into obscurity. Now, thanks to the incredible popularity of Mesmerizer, the Miku-Teto apocalypse and many viral memes, she's back and bigger than ever before. This video explores her incredible resurgence and how she’s changed over time. Whether you know her as the troll who disliked Vocaloid, the loud tsundere voice of early fandom, or just the yellow one who wasn’t in Mesmerizer, this is the full story of Akita Neru.
