(Edited from heartsnative website's background image)
The highly anticipated album [Heartsnative] featuring the full version of the re-arranged miku miku ni shite ageru song, sung by MOSAIC.WAV’s mi~ko and Hatsune Miku at the MikuFest event in August 09, is finally released yesterday October 21st, 2009! The album is now available for ordering at amazon.co.jp, himemiya shop, but reservation’s already closed at hobby search - the rips and scan are also available for download through bt and megaupload, apparently. The album is a dream collaboration work between akiba-pop authority, Mosaic.wav, and the producer of Miku Miku ni shite ageru (which has recently hit the 7 Million views mark at Niconicodouga), Ika or in his full name, Tsuruta Kamo. Although personally, I have heard Mosaic.wav do better- vocaloid fans should not miss this album for it features all the other popular vocaloids such as Rin, Len, Meiko, Luka and Kaito (did I say them all? XD) singing to Mosaic.wav’s compositions as well!! Read on for more!
For those not familiar with MOSAIC.WAV, they are considered amongst the top akiba-pop style artists with their music/songs used in games and some anime, namely Sumomomo Momomo’s theme songs. (Did I get the number of Mo’s right??) Their songs are known for the energetic vibe, reflecting of the akiba moe-culture. My personal favorite is Itadaki Jangarian R Opening theme – Love cheat!.
MOSAIC.WAV with their usual lead singer mi~ko. Everyone looking happy, but shy for the interview photoshoot…
Mi~ko would look good with doggy ears imo.. you know, like aruru’s.
(I’d draw them in but.. er maybe that’s gonna be subjected to slander or something.. sorry, bad taste).
For a sample of the album, the full version of Miku Miku ni shite ageru by Mosaic.wav x Miku has been uploaded to youtube (along with other songs from the album by the same uploader) Knowing mosaic.wav is quite strict about its copyrights on youtube, this video may not last long…
zutto mitsumeteru, kimi no koto mikumiku ni shite ageru~
I don’t know about you, but 2 years on and this song still doesn’t get old!
The heartsnative album comes in a wide packaging with this beautiful loli miku image by Kanzaki Hiro.
Additional to the CD itself, the package includes:
- 40 page booklet covering interviews with the artists and illustrators.

Did that have you drooling yet? On the contents of the CD..
No .. no ecchi miku moaning, but er.. you have 7 tracks of vocaloid and mi~ko duets on new mosaic.wav-style, energetic songs… :D

Although all are very cute, I’d like to highlight 2 jackets:
This one below is by Tsugatake (I think), features Miku singing with MOSAIC.WAV Mi~ko + nekomimi,
(and one of the 2 guys up there turned into a purple hair loli.. yeah I wish that could be true..)
Another one is yet another very beautiful illustration by Shino.
