Making Rounds with Hatsune Miku
Uninstall is probably the best one I ran across.
I got a laugh out of this one. It reminded me back when people were doing a capella versions of eurobeat and DDR music. Hare Hare Yukai is no exception I suppose.
This one has Hatsune Miku harmonizing with another sound instrument running on classic Vocaloid, from Sousei no Aquarion. Or this song from Nausicaa.
Some people like this version of Tori no Uta, but I think it is seriously lacking.
Slightly less lacking is this version of Princess Mononoke theme. Or this other song from AIR.
There’s always dance-pop leek spinning. Which is probably the simplest way to use Hatsune Miku.
With Hatsune Miku, every computer-literate otaku geek is a dreamer. Or LOL.
What’s Hatsune Miku? It’s basically a synthetic instrument pack sort of thing running on the Vocaloid2 engine–a text-to-speech singing engine. In other words, it’s a software that outputs singing if you give it the notes and words. You can also fine tune it and such. It can even output in Engrish.
Just check out the links up there. And down here.
Marisa steals the whatever. It’s a little weak, but yeah.
True My Heart. Beefed up version.
One could buy into the marketing possibilities and hype about something like Hatsune Miku–and so far it’s living up to it to a degree. But will things turn out like this? Virtual idol and all that stuff. But then again, even Hatsune Miku is modeled after a real person.
Oh God not this song >_<. To get you in the mood for Eva revival?
This is just a fraction of what Hatsune Miku has out there–there’s a legion more on Niconico, and more and more appear by the moment. The original graphic of Hatsune Miku is sort of the new visual icon for this virtual singer slash amusing computer tool. Coincidentally the typical vocaloid sells for a few thousand copies (if it’s any good). Hatsune Miku has gone already way, way beyond that as a smashing success as far as a professional software tool goes.
Got a video you like? Please do share?
no comment on the Miku-chan, but that pic at the top is frikkin great

Heard about this, but had no idea of the extent of its adoption. Nice.

IMHO, You from Higurashi would definitely be the best~
I thought it was terrible–enough to listen to it on youtube for a few seconds and not include it in my post. But I’m sure people dig that stuff~
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm981909 if you got niconico–for some comparative analysis.
Oh wow. The moji pittan one is pretty wonderful. I’d be willing to believe it was just a techno’d version of a real person’s voice, as opposed to many of the obvious computerized ones. (You know, the ones that sound like that lady who dictates your stuff in word processors :P )

Reminds me of Macross Plus, and Overman King Gainer to a lesser extent. :P

This is the theme from Negima?! Magister Negi Magi. There’s also this one that’s my personal favorite:
