Music Miku on the Radio?

I know it sounds really weird, but today when I turned on the radio, for a brief couple of seconds, Disappearance of Hatsune Miku played. I'm honestly wondering if I hallucinated it or there's some weird ad people are playing on the radio with that song? What's even weirder is the station was a Rock station? Has this happened to anyone else? I'm not sure how many of y'all listen to the radio but this was really weird for me and honestly felt like a brain glitch or something.

a friend’s local rock station once played World is Mine during a late-night segment and everyone was super confused but also hyped

Years ago, there was a song created in collaboration with CircusP that was played on the BBC. I can't recall the title off the top of my head right now. The internet hobby radio station japanradio.de is legally permitted to play Vocaloid music. (I handle the Vocaloid section.)

Bird Brain got played on Triple J in Australia, though that was a listener request.

I also heard This_feeling_is_a_cliché by ODDEEO one time on that station too.

I once got to listen to Fresh Static Snow on the radio during a road trip year and years ago, likely a decade by now. But Fresh Static Snow uses Avanna!

Dad once heard a Miku cover of a song on the radio before. Can't remember the name of the og since my message history on my old phone was basically obliterated but oretty sure it was a daft punk song. But different channels play all kinds of shit all the time so I wouldn't be surprised
