Now would be a good time to remind you all that Miku's channel on YouTube is called "Channel 39". I doubt that Wokada talks about her age here.

its because 3 can be pronounced as Mi, and 9 can be pronounced as Ku in japanese slang
therefore: Mi ku

Um...I think it's actually because 3 being pronounced as san, and nine being pronouced kiu, so together makes thank you.

39 can also be read in Japanese as "sankyuu" which sounds like "thank you". heyyouman is right, yet he's getting downvoted, lol

39 is basically Miku in Japanese numerical puns (goroawase). Mi = 3 (from 'mitsu' = 3), and ku = 9 (from 'kyu' = 9). You see these sorts of things everywhere in Japan, e.g. Shibuya's famous 109 department store is actually read 'Tokyu' (10 = 'To', 9 = 'Kyu').
