I’m learning Japanese, as a result, half of my rss roster are Japanese blogs (both in English and in Japanese) and I’m rediscovering all the wacky Japanese things. One of them is the obsession with Vocaloid girls (and one boy, apparently). Vocaloid is basically a synthetic singer program, but Miku (and the rest of the character) are more than just application mascot, they are idols in their own rights. Miku even came in at number 2 on the daily album of Japan’s national music sales charts, selling 20,000 copies in first day, and this is despite (or perhaps, because of) the fact that mp3 and video clip are freely distributed on their official site.

My current desktop, I actually didn’t changed my desktop wallpaper for a year, can’t bother since I never really get to see it anyway, but the power of Hatsune Miku can’t be resisted.

I have been listening to this song on loop, my brother hated me very much.

一番おひめさま！　あっ！
