Vocaloid might be an international phenomenon but they still aren't really known outside of otakudom and Japan in general. If they ever aired this commerical on TV in America probably 90% of people watching wouldn't have any clue who she was.

Words cannot even describe my rage. I hope this is not ever going to be aired on tv. I find vocaloid music to be ok, some is good. I swear, if the US and other countries start having ads/shit like this on tv.... I don't know what I would do (probably head over to gensokyo). What if something like this happened to touhou, i mean.... I know Zun won't sell out for anything like this but still, who said they would come for the games?

I just hope miku fails in america/other countries, we can just be hopeful that they find something else that they find more interesting that we don't care about (i know some /jp/ers don't care about vocaloid but im sure no one here wants the general public to fall in love with miku). However I doubt that will happen, its gonna be fucking sailor moon all over again but instead miku and something of value will actually be lost.

This way to make a shitty first impression.

Why is this happening? I mean I feel sorry for Japan because of what little media I see over there I notice all sorts of memes on their shows. Their internet is very much main stream. This could possibly end up like how japan will be. Spouting memes everywhere. I dont know how our japanese counter parts can be live with all that shit on a daily basis.

This is not some glorious moment of some stupid shit like blending reality with the internet. This is just fucking awful. The least they could do was not put some ugly fucking americanized comicbook whore that supposed to be Miku on that god forsaken site.

I like one or two vocaloid songs. The cult following, the concerts, and this viral marketing stuff make me embarrassed about it, unfortunately.

I'm curious as to who actually gave the okay on this. The song, the commercial, and the art itself is all poorly implemented or made. And the western design to emphasize detail looks like it's out of a comic book.

my dearest apologies.

i just don't expect an internationally broadcast "special announcement" for a voice synth program, especially when he knows he's got every Western vocaloid fan waiting on the announcement of English Miku, to be a car advertisement, and aside from the presence of a song, completely unrelated to music or the program itself.

i don't think being irritated with this is unjustified. of course it makes sense from a purely business perspective, but there was no need to mask this as a major "special announcement" with a relation to Miku in America by someone(i presume) is a crypton official. this wouldn't have bothered me if Miku wasn't supposedly on the border of being released, and they had done it without trying to garner people's expectations for such an announcement. i'm not going to deny that it was a smart move from a business perspective.

it was a deliberate attempt to abuse the anticipation of the people waiting for english miku for something(other than having a song and the name Hatsune Miku) completely unrelated to vocaloid, that's what i am reacting to. if miku had been out for a year and this happened, i wouldn't be saying any of this.

I've not watched TV in years, but sudden screams in your commercial is guaranteed to get people to hate your product, especially since viewers likely just spent the past few hours getting used to the audio level every other show and commercial is set to, only to get shocked by the loudness of some computerized screech.

It's not any different than audio internet ads, really.

yes, i know. it's not different from any other. i'm not saying that.

this kind of advertisement is natural, but i consider putting it out at this timing in that style to be bad form, that's all. but either way, the best argument here to show that i am being ridiculous is to say that

"The one who really benefits out of this is Miku, not Toyota. Being associated with a Toyota advertisement gives more advertising advantage to Miku than Toyota. So, Miku/Crypton did this to use Toyota, not the other way around."

i don't think i would have had a response to that.

i'm not complaining about the nature of the advertisement itself(although i don't like it). unfortunately, the style of art/song/etc. is simply how you have to appeal to modern america and i don't think they have a choice.

What they were trying to do in the commercial was build up tension by showing obscured and partial views of the performer while the spokesperson delivers his little speech. It's supposed to build up until the performer finally breaks the tension by appearing suddenly in the center of the camera's view with immediate fanfare and a burst of whatever the fuck it is they're supposed to be about.

The problem is, they really chose the wrong thing for Miku to do at the moment of "final reveal" - an awkward scream. It was supposed to be some kind of equivalent to a band shouting "ARE YOU READY TO ROCK, D.C.!?" just before jamming on their instruments.

But hell, what the heck is Miku supposed to break dramatic buildup with? Does she have any iconic interjections or anything of the sort? What would you have broken the tension with?

Well, the difference here is that they're advertising Miku in America as much as possible. It's not going to stop with one video or campaign. Crypton's intent on taking over the world, essentially, so this isn't going to boil over anytime soon. At this point, yes, we do have to "fear" people learning about Vocaloid.

It's obvious that Crypton is planning to expand to America. They came to America and announced it. They had a showing of last year's concert in San Francisco. There's going to be an English Miku. And now this?

You can't tell me all of this doesn't mean anything for a company that's primarily based in Japan.

Oh please...

Miku has been mainstream in Japan with ニワカ fans everywhere since niconico became popular. The userbase of nico is the Japanese equivalent of the youtube comment section and facebook, and vocaloid has long been a symbol of mainstream whore out on 2ch.

>There's going to be an English Miku.

I thought there already was, just with a different name and no accompanying anime mascot character. Lola or something.

I mean, you can pretty much just force Miku to try to sing English and wind up with Engrish singing as it is.

So what, someone's planning to de-engrish Miku's voice for English vocals? Wouldn't that just make her not Miku? Are they going to try to shoot for a heavy Japanese accent doing English vocals?

>>7312281
Lola was the first-ever female Vocaloid, released with Leon. Miku was the first Japanese Vocaloid on the VOCALOID2 engine. Miku is NOT the first Vocaloid.

Her Engrish... eh.

No, they're not really "de-Engrishing" her voice. They're actually re-recording Miku's voice actress's entire voice bank from scratch so that it's an English voice bank instead of just having Japanese vowels. And apparently, the voice actress is taking English lessons as well, which should help a bit.

Anonymous Fri May 6 03:01:27 2011 No.7312292

I hope you all know:
-English Vocaloid software has been retailed in the West for some time now.
-Miku T-shirts have been officially retailed in the United States by Cospa USA, in brick-and-mortar stores, to be bought by anyone who is interested, for some time now.
Just clearing those things up, as I noticed some confusion.

There are english Vocaloids, yes, but they all sound like crap. Even the ones released by Crypton. They aren't Miku though, since they don't use the same voice source. Still, I expect this to be just as horrible. The only chance this could be worthwhile is if they release it on the Vocaloid 3 engine, and even then, who knows, it's not out yet.
