    After my initial reaction of "AH! KILL IT WITH FIRE!" I have to admit that's pretty interesting. Anyone got a translation on those lyrics?

    my lonely right hand!

    Warren Ellis predicted this years ago:

    We’re doomed.

    Translation of otaku-pop is moot. It is and will always be the epitome of insipid evil. It's sole reason for existence is to bring drooling loli-lovers to self-gratifying sporegasm.

    That said, the tech is cool Too bad they aren't putting it to better use.

  5. @birgerking - November 19th, 2010 at 3:24 am

    Thanks for posting that. There seems to a universe on youtube to dive into.

    Played with the software briefly a year or so ago. Pretty neat, and I am impressed by current gen holograms. There is actually an english version of the vocaloid software available if anyone is interested in creating music.

  7. @DavidForbes - November 19th, 2010 at 11:47 pm

    Well shit in a hat. That is impressive.

    Word on the street has it that this particular idoru has been popular among American cosplayers for a couple of years. News to me, I don’t pay attention to that sort of thing anymore.

    The Vocaloid software has been around for several years. (Strangely enough, the first ones released were in English.) I've toyed around with a few of the personae/voice packs. (poorly) It's rather clean vocals for something completely synthesized. Peter Frampton and Steven Hawking, eat your heart out.

    Slightly unrelated, Sony is supposed to be releasing the third gen engine soon.

    OMG. That IS scary. Miku appeared just a few years back, and the story dates 10 years ago. Where the heck did we miss the warning signs?
