Wooden Miku

There once was a fictional character name Jason Vorhees - even if you do not know the name, imagine a maniacal killer with a hockey mask and a chainsaw - that is him. But it seems that as times change, so do people and now a new kind of Jason has appeared. This time he has dedicated himself to carving various life-size anime characters out of wooden blocks. In case you have never worked with a chainsaw, imagine drawing something with a pen that weighs 10 kilograms, vibrates strongly, makes an awful noise that can be heard miles away and has the potential to remove some of your limbs. The level of detail that he achieves with such an inaccurate tool is remarkable.

Here is the youtube playlist for the rest of Thejeisonsan' carvings. As far as I could understand from videos, titles and comments, he has made an EVA 01, Mikoto Misaka from Railgun, Mio and Yui from K-on and a lot of other sculptures.

First off, Hachune Miku, the video is in two parts and almost 14 minutes in total.
Not much of Vocaloid music, but I do hope that you can enjoy the 8-bit classic that Mega Man is.





Next up, a life-size Hatsune Miku. Accompanied by the Earthbound soundtrack.



The fact that her hair had to be supported made me realize that anime hairstyles might be even more exaggerated than we think.

Last up, the only song with Miku and chainsaws that I could find. Sadly, no translation.
