Before huke joined the band Supercell, he had been working on the concept of Black★Rock Shooter. This concept was eventually noticed by ryo after huke's admission into the band, and this started their collaboration in making the song inspired by huke's creations.
The song was first submitted in Japanese video site Nico Nico Douga in June 2008 and it was later shared to YouTube, where its two versions garnered a total of more than 2,500,000 views in a short span of time. The song and the concept per se also gathered a fanbase, and much later, was performed by famous members of Nico Nico Douga in a number of versions, including a band edition which is performed together with a chorus of human singers and, occasionally, including Hatsune Miku herself.
Upon the release of the Black★Rock Shooter OVA, Hatsune Miku performed another version of the song; this time, Supercell utilized Miku Append, a complement of the original Vocaloid program with additional features. This version was released as "Black★Rock Shooter 2M Mix".

A Vocaloid song creator, ryo, was inspired by BRS and composed a song using Miku Hatsune, while huke created the movie for ryo. The video was a hit on Nico Nico Douga and YouTube; this eventually led to the worldwide popularity of Black★Rock Shooter.
Black★Rock Shooter tells of the narrator's despair and hopelessness as they wander aimlessly, searching for something important to them that they presumably lost. Eventually the narrator gains new hope and decides to move on into the future with courage. The video for the song became massively popular, featuring Black★Rock Shooter traveling through a bleak city and countryside, riding a motorbike and wielding weapons.

|
makkura de akari mo nai kuzurekaketa kono michi de | On this dark, crumbling path that never sees the light I think I saw that hope from back then that never should have existed |
| doushite | How come? |
| BURAKKU ROKKU SHUUTAA natsukashii kioku tada tanoshikatta ano goro wo BURAKKU ROKKU SHUUTAA demo ugokenai yo yami wo OKKU kakeru hoshi ni negai wo mou ichido dake hashiru kara | Black Rock Shooter - Wistful memories Of those simpler, delightful times But Black Rock Shooter, I can't move My hopes can only take once more to the stars racing through the darkness |
| kowakute furueru koe de tsubuyaku watashi no namae wo yonde yoake wo idaku sora kyoukaisen made no kyotai ato mou ippo todokanai | I whisper in a frightened, trembling voice, "Call my name." I won't reach any farther into the distance, to the boundaries of the dawn-kissed sky |
| koraeta namida ga afuresou nano ima shita wo mukanaide tomatte shimau mirai wo ikite itainda wakatta no omoidashite tsuyoku tsuyoku shinjiru no | The tears I've held back are about to overflow Don't look down now I come to a halt I wanted to live in the future, but I get it now, I remember I believe with all my heart |
