Miku v2 (?) and The Touhou Project

After stumbling over a song that sounded a lot more realistic than most of Vocaloid-powered (just wanted to use that expression) songs. But now the problem is - even after looking about details about it, I still know nothing. So, if you, dear reader, know a bit more, feel free to leave a comment. All info I have comes from the video description: "This movie is new Hatsune Miku vocal Data Base β.ver demo song movie."
The fact remains, this sounds completely different and there are even arguments, if this really is Miku or not.


About the Touhou Project - not long ago, a simple video of Touhou characters got over a million views in one week on NicoNico. The video was the soon-to-be very famous Bad Apple. For some reason, there is yet to be a Miku version of this. But there is a Megpoid version, that sounds decent... to be polite. The problem is that the singer of the track is exceptionally good and whether it is Megpoid or the creator, it just doesn't reach it. I am still hoping that someone with lots of experience would make a Miku or Meiko version with it.



To keep the length of this post to a sane level, this shall be the last video for this time. Related to Touhou and insanely cute. There is also a Miku (-like) version, but the style does not suit me.


If you remember the Fast Food and Miku post, then those songs also originated from Touhou. Even if they are musical train wrecks, there is still something oddly catchy about those.

Another Miku Channel

Can be found here. It features a collection of some of the most popular Miku videos on a self contained TV like site. I admire the absolute simplicity of the page and being non-youtube, but hate the Comic-Sans (sorry). The page got my attention for one whole evening as backround video/music.


As a bonus, all videos are in auto repeat mode. I like it, since I have a weird habit of listening to one song multiple times in a row.

Pi challenge

Interestingly Pi-chorus by Len fits the original song "Incarnation" by Hanasoumen-P. I didn't count, but in this modified song Len should say PI in 2000 digit precision.



More works from Vocaloid master π-P.

Voc@loidm@ster festival 3

Is a community initiated event that is currently being held on NicoVideo, that is between 6th and 8th of November. What it means is that various mashups are created based on iDOLM@ASTER and Vocaloid content. All this is uploaded to NicoVideo for others to see. Fumi25 blog seems to be a good place to keep yourself updated what is happening in NicoVideo.

IDOLM@ASTER is a raising simulation game where you act as a producer who works on finding pop idols. It is quite adictive and game idols are loved just like there are people obsessed in Vocaloids.

I haven't looked over all the content and new videos are uploaded as I write, but here are some like. This one I started liking when playing Project Diva. It is a song called "moon" by Miku and the animation features Chihaya Kisaragi.
Agh, after trying various ways I couldn't embed it, but here it is.


Next one is an animation mixup of both. I don't know about the song, but it is embed-worthy since it looks and feels like the most usual entry (it is probably not tho).




This Len song マフィアゲー makes a good mix with the video. This is currently my top favourite.




And what the hell is this. Laughs.



Keep yourself updated and see all the entries as they appear.

I have to admit that iDOLM@STER physics simulation is superior to usual hand crafted joint animation found in usual MMD. That makes iDOLM@STER animation much prettier and addictive to watch. Maybe one day MMDs will get such pysics simulation too.

Halloween songs

A whole collection of Vocaloids in one fresh Halloween song. "Dream Meltic Halloween" by Machigeriita-P who is also a known author of many horror themed Vocaloid songs.


MP3 link in NicoVideo.

Here is not a fresh, but rather popular song that goes with Halloween theme. It has many different video versions with many having also English subs. There are also versions that have human vocal over Vocaloid versions and just human voice versions. Different slide show versions, bad quality and incomplete versions. Put "Trick and treat" in Youtube and prepare yourself.

Miku Z4 on Super GT 2009 - AUTOPOLIS

A lot has happened after I last time wrote about Miku Z4 on Super GT. I think that those who were more eager to follow, already know what has happened, but here I sum some things up and present some links. I used bit.ly to see how much these are clicked. I hope it won't bother you much.

New artwork on Miku Z4 at Autopolis! source

At first, congratulations! Studie GLAD Racing points were almost doubled at AUTOPOLIS circuit to total of 5 points and new driver Taku Bamba (who replaced Yasushi Kikuchi) got a first driver point. On Saturdays qualification (translated) Taku Bamba drove a promising 11th best lap. On Sundays final (translated) he managed to come on 10th place being 2 laps behind first car. This is really a good news after such misfortune on Fuji and Suzuka circuit where Miku Z4 had to cancel both of these.

Sheer joy :) source

Last time on Fuji speedway Miku Z4 got some serious engine problems (translated) during practice and they had to abandon the race. So they had to say goodbye to both qualification and final race. Still, on Sunday they organized a support tour bus (translated) where fans could drive through the circuit and see it close up. There were more.

Troubled Miku Z4 at Fuji. source. (I like that umbrella, I want one... :)

I encourage you to visit their blog and I remind that, they have some official songs on their web site you can download and listen to. "Blue Max Warrior ～撃墜王～" is still my favorite.

This year's closing Super GT event is Motegi 250km race on 7th and 8th of November. Excitement is up again.

Sweet Tooth Miku

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is a question asked by the writer Philip K. Dick. But what would Miku dream about? Obviously, after singing so much, she would still see that in her dreams. But surprisingly, Miku seems to have a bit of a sweet tooth. Apparently, what would make Miku happy, is for her to find a world where there are chocolate bathtubs, pancakes with caramel and sauce, and in return, she would give you Lots Of Laughs. I find the artwork stunning, the song itself very good, but the LOL in it is like a drop of tar.


The info panel in youtube gives all the mp3 and nicovideo links and all other information. For some reason, the downloadable mp3 sounded worse than the youtube version.

The second song features Kaito running a "Love so Sweet" bakery. I won't tell you more about the story, just watch it :)
