Hatsune Miku fans everywhere are being rallied to the virtual diva’s defence – parties unknown have been waging an underhanded campaign against her on YouTube, by filing fraudulent copyright claims against her videos in an effort to get all her songs deleted.
The campaign of mass deletions has been orchestrated against Hatsune Miku and Vocaloid songs hosted on YouTube’s various international sites, targeting translated versions.
Popular Vocaloid videos which were many years old and had accumulated millions of views have been deleted as a result of the action.
The deletions have been requested by a variety of suspicious parties nobody has ever heard of – names featured include “Media Interactive Inc” (who were apparently implicated in the deletion of Lady Gaga’s YouTube account) and variations on the name of “Junichi Sasa” (笹純一, 笹金純一, 笹川純一, 笹村純一, etc.).
As the copyright for all original Hatsune Miku songs normally rests with the original creator, not with any company affiliated with Yamaha, Crypton or the record company mafia (except the minority of songs professionally published by these companies themselves), none of these deletions can be considered as anything but fraudulent.
Japanese Miku fans have already organised a counter-effort in the hopes of uncovering who is behind the deletions, including an English language missive:
Someone who doesn’t like Hatsune Miku getting popular in the world is deleting her high ranked videos with English titles on it by making fake reports that the videos are infringing a copyright.
We don’t know who is doing this.
The series of these acts may be caused by organized group(s).
It is under investigation by Miku fan volunteers.
If your video is deleted by a fake report, please submit a counter-notification here: http://p.tl/hZW6
To all Vocaloid fans, Let’s get her back. Don’t give up.
All this is possible because YouTube allows unverified third parties to issue takedown notices on any content they host, which usually results in a swift deletion of the video which can only be reversed by a counter-notification.
For takedowns based on the DMCA, providers actually have a legal obligation to restore content if the uploader files a counter-notification objecting to the takedown (for example, by pointing out that the notifier does not actually hold the copyright or have the authority to act on behalf of the owner), at which point the notifier must file a lawsuit in the US or drop the matter and leave the content alone.
Not only is filing a lawsuit expensive, in the case of fraudulent or dubious claims the notifier will have perjured themselves by lying to the court about owning the copyright, possibly a rather more serious matter than the supposed infringement itself.
Unfortunately, not only are most people unaware of this aspect of DMCA usage and easily intimidated by legalistically phrased intimidation, reliably ensuring the original uploader goes to the trouble of filing a counter-notification every time one of their works are subjected to a predatory takedown is a difficult matter, particularly with older content.
Takedowns in other countries may be subject to wildly differing legal requirements, complicating matters even further.
The suspicion online is that the takedowns are politically motivated – there has been some recent high-profile competition between Korean pop groups (the “popularity” of whom is suspected to be the result of organised promotion by Korean nationalists) and Hatsune Miku (who has the earnest support of anime-fans everywhere).
This rivalry recently crystallised in the form of a pointless ranking of groups “which should perform at the London Olympics” (in fact the ranking had no official status whatsoever, a fact which was apparently almost totally lost on both raving Korean and Japanese nationalists and fervent Miku fans).
Thanks to the competing efforts of 4chan, 2ch, and the Koreans, the ranking ended up being topped by Miku, followed by a variety of obscure Korean starlets, a point of pride for deluded right-wing Japanese and probably quite vexing to Korean nationalists who fancy their nation a pop super-power.
Although 2ch is notorious for xenophobically blaming Koreans for every ill it can think of, in this case it is hard to see why else anyone would bother trying to damage Miku’s popularity, as the fraud does not seem to be intended as a shakedown and the “posing as Japanese to do something bad” tactic has apparently often been employed in such Japan-Korea nationalist spats:
“It’s probably some dirty Korean.”
“Nobody but some Korean scumbag would bother to do something this retarded.”
“This will be something to do with that London Olympics stuff…”
“Right – #1 was Miku, the rest were all K-POP.”
“Abusing copyright is a typical Korean ploy. All they can do is copy things and claim them as their own.”
“This is probably more theatrics orchestrated by the net-uyo!”
“Somebody was doing the same thing to AKB videos…”
“They are really going to turn the world against them when this comes out!”
“More of those peninsulars squandering their taxes on promoting K-POOP!”
“It could be a 2ch board – some of them are packed with Miku-haters.”
“YouTube should at least publicise the IP of people who request scores of deletions.”
“Just report all the K-POOP on there using the same name.”
“But all the Koreans loeve Miku just like we do! Believe in them, please.”
“Try searching for ‘VANK’ – you’ll see.”
“This stuff is the shame of Japan, thank god it is being deleted!”
“This is obviously their way of getting back against Miku after she beat all their stupid K-POP groups on that Olympic ranking.”
“As usual, one of their ‘fake Japanese’ tricks.”
“Ahhh – they deleted Crucify by Megurine Luka as well!”
“If they get reported 3 times the user loses their whole account and all their uploads get deleted… this is dreadful.”
“I think this is just haters.”
“The only ones who benefit from all this are Koreans. If you don’t say this, North Americans will never get what is behind all this. They’ll just think it is Miku-ota vs some annoying copyright body. They won’t care.”
“As there is no actual proof of this, constantly saying it will only call your position into doubt.”
“This is a mistake. The videos are being deleted, and they are uploading copies with their own rip-off Vocaloid and pretending they were Korean to start with. They are scrupulously disguising their nationality by using other languages. Tell people what is going on and let them make up their own minds as to who is behind this.”
“You shouldn’t keep mentioning that country. You have to ignore them and avoid making this into another big issue.”
“Somebody tell the guys at 4chan about what those Korean bastards are up to! Can’t anyone here write English properly!?”
“Forget 4chan – don’t expect anything from them, they prefer just to watch.”
“Leave them out of this! You don’t know what they’ll do!”
“4chan never helped with that ranking – that’s just lies. They have no interest in Vocaloids over there.”
“Don’t involve them – it’s a big mistake to think they like the Japanese. And involving them is just like the tactics a certain country uses. If they decide to help, fine, but don’t try and drag them in.”
“Try using Facebook, forums and YouTube to raise awareness of this instead.”
“Don’t forget to complain to Google and YouTube about their system being abused like this.”
“Are you people morons? 4chan came in and ruined their efforts to stack that ranking with Koreans. This issue will not be resolved by avoiding any mention of who is responsible.”
“They know how Koreans do things, and came in and helped with the ranking. Trying to avoid any mention of ‘that country’ will only make it look like a copyright issue.”
WHyyy.
Miku is harmless. D:
Hello from Japan.
Hatsune Miku is great.
Vocaloid gave me to expand the possibilities of music.
We have met the great music. I became even more enjoyable life.
We will not lose.
I’m going to tell you the charm of Hatsune Miku.
Listen!
I got a ticket for MikuLive on March 8 will be held in Japan!
Another, very excited.
· · · ·. You have prepared a physical condition to be able to report a nice day.
Guys, please be noted.
Some comments referred to Japanese nationalists have been involved in this, pointing 2ch as the source of those fellows.
I, a Japanese 2ch viewer, tell you that almost none of 2ch nationalists percipated in this.
Most comments in 2ch were, do not involve yourself in “Olmpic campaign” and “Anti-Korean movement”, insisting that it would damage Japan and Miku, irrespective of nationalists or Miku lovers.
As shown in the “Olmpic campaign”, most comments were good English, which we Japanese cannot write.
On the other hand, “Save Miku” campaign is widely supported 2ch users and most of them have not yet decided it’s a Korean intrigue.
Because we have lack full facts that can prove Korean involvments.
Most of 2ch users are afraid that they are pointed out as racist against Korean.
Please do not complicate with the racist comments until more found will come to air.
Wow, this whole comment section is full of desperate virgins worshiping a voice synthesizer making racist comments just because of snippets taken by racist Japaneses.
This is… This is the worst thing I’ve read in 2012 so far. My faith in humanity can’t possibly get lower than this.
What the fuck am I reading.jpg
this is a shame to whom who had done this, and this isn’t a trick of japan, I mean, how could they? they can attract mounts of attention without involving any other countries out there, about 4chan or any other troll communities, what will they get if they troll around miku and japan? japan just don’t give a fuck, this is just some fans that miku had beaten,pity their souls
Fuck you! Media Interactive Inc, for ruining Miku Hatsune. And die Junichi Sasa for false flagging video as well.

We can’t just blame without any evidence we only have motives. We can’t blame the koreans if we have no evidence. The music industry really hates changing so we kinda need to fight…. not being retards but with legit reasons.
Oh man DAT ASS!!
was google not promoting miku a while ago with a commercial? WTF!?
“4chan never helped with that ranking – that’s just lies. They have no interest in Vocaloids over there.”
Really?
REALLY?
Welcome to the new internet people.
It’s going to happen just you wait and see.
I dont know who is the responsible, but now madona is the #1 in itunes, dont miku be the number 1 before she?
These clowns got many translator/uploader accounts closed. Some of the songs removed from my list (there were many others, but I lost track). Anyone care to do some detective work and check what the hell does ToysfactoryJP, The Cartoon Network, and Media Interactive Inc. got to do with Vocaloid songs?

I am trying …
False flagger scum need to die.
“4chan came in and ruined their efforts to stack that ranking with Koreans.”
And yet I see numerous K-Pop threads in many parts of 4chan. Somethings not right.
…Wait, what ranking was this?
Sometimes I get the feeling that Miku is kind of a religion but now I can see it .. it’s passion
You name it
probably fans of Justin Bieber again…
Who the fuck is this “media interactive” shit anyway? If I caught their CEO, I’ll make him swallow 100kgs of Leeks!!
It’s called “ACTA”… congratulations on signing that bullshit which is almost as bad as SOPA… well, worse tbh.
But Miku is just a program doing bad covers of other songs. I don’t see why they have to raise the alarm over it.
I miss the days when when people didn’t like something all they had to do was pick up a farm tool…
It is time to fight in the name and for the glory of our virtual diva! Hatsune Miku deserves blood!
Chances are it’s just some troll flagging them for copyright infringement and youtube, or should I say Google, is really funny about it. I bet as soon as a copyright claims went in, the videos were taken down. Like it was automated or something.
“This stuff is the shame of Japan, thank god it is being deleted!”
word.
Don’t compare yourself, a “shame”, to Miku.
She’s worked her way for it, while you’re just a boring low-wage salaryman if not a basement dweller.
Don’t forget that “this shame of Japan” has already round up more than millions of people around the world as her fans, more than thousands of amateur & expert musicians to create her songs. She also gets several International TV Channels to review her campaign and bring Japan’s name in USA and Europes. She’s also the very 1st Virtual Singer ever to held concert in Western Countries, and gets a FULL HOUSE. So could you please tell me which of those exploits are worthy to be called “Shame”??
This happened a while back with a bunch of brony music, fortunately the troll gave up after we managed to get rid of all his copyright claims.
The problem here is the vocaloid fandom is much more spread out and less organized than the brony fandom, but I hope they manage to get through it.
The whole trick to resolving the issue was that they dont really need any kind of basis to file a countersuit, they dont even need to put in their real name, they just need to submit it saying “this guy doesn’t really own this content” and youtube will put the video back up, with no problem to the countersuiter.
Good luck vocaloid fans
These are the kind of people I absolutely cannot stand. The kind who believe that if THEY themselves do not like something, then they believe they have a right to rid the world of it. Who are they to say that something does not deserve to be shared with the world? If the people behind this do not like listening to Miku and the other volcaloids, then they don’t have to! No one is holding a gun to their heads! Let the people who genuinely enjoy listening to this kind of music do so and leave them alone! Everyone has a natural right to enjoy what they want as long as it does not harm others.
Although I lack ways to track these bastards down (and I really wish I could), I’m still going to stick it to them. I’m going to download the top viewed Miku vids from youtube. If they get deleted by these assholes, then I’ll put them back up and they can go to hell!
So, all you have to do to have a video removed from youtube is file a fraudulent take down notice? Do you have any idea what this means? This is like, Christmas for trolls! I’m going to have ALL the Ron Paul Videos taken down! Then I’m gonna have ALL the 9-11 truther videos taken down! THIS IS THE AWESOMEST THING EVER!
You can blame Obama and the teaparty..blame them all. NERD RAGE ACROSS THE NET!!!!! lol.
One reason I can think of for these mass deletion is that the Hatsune Miku videos on youtube rarely give credit to the original creators of the song.
This kind of problem has plagued Youtube for a long time. Youtube is uber stupid for letting third-party companies take down random videos for copyright reason, instead of investigating those videos themselves.
Stupidity at it’s best. You can ignore it, but you cannot erase a “phenomenon”. So to haters out there… GET-A-LIFE-ALREADY!!!
nük
AND PERHAPS THERE’S ASLO AN INVOLVEMENT W/ MIKU BEING #1 IN THE “itunes” CHARTS!!!
THIS IS A LOW BLOW FOR MIKU FANS EVERYWRERE…
“OUT OF THE FRYING PAN AND INTO THE FIRE EH…”
BACKSTABBING MIKU HATERS!!! MAY YOU ALL BURN IN HELL…
i shall say this once…
those responsible f*cking bastards…
who even they are…
THEY ARE GONNA REGRET WHAT THEY DID AND WILL DIE FOR THEIR BLASPHEMOUS SINS ETERNALLY!!!!!!
BURN THOSE SH*TTY F*CKERS!!!!!!
ALL HAIL THE IMMORTAL SONGSTRESS…
JEALOUS K-POOP SH*TTIES…
AND YOUTUBE SUCKS FOR ALLOWING THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE… LIKE HELL THERE’S A COPY RIGHT VIOLATION!!??
JEALOUS SCUMBAGS…
The videos mostly come from Nico douga anyways, just re-upload it if anything…
Maybe it has to do with justin beiber he hates the fuck out of miku
wow and i tough that getting 5 video removed from my channel for ”nudity” was stupid… now THIS is really stupid… Damn haters! Leave Miku alone! She didn’t do anything wrong to get this! >< The Artist also didn't use her to get this kind of treatment.They wanted her to sing their song, all the work they did is all in vain now… It's like bitching another artist. You can do it but don't destroy his artwork!
SON’S OF BITCHES >_<!!!!!! HOW DARE THEY DELETE OUR UTA-HIME!!!! I GOING TO COMPLANE TO GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE RIGHT NOW!! And all this right after the MikuXgoogle crome video!? WE GOTTA STOP THEM!! Weather its "koreans" "organized group" "2ch Voca-haters' oR WHO EVER!!! FIGHT!!!

To all Vocaloid haters: Eat shit, Kiss Ass, do whatever you like. Just don’t bother us!!
No way! We must stop SOPA/PIPA/ACTA!
that first pic. Fap juice… ughh!!
….well….time to use my 5, 600 terabyte hardrives
…wut? She became popular with the HELP of Youtube. At least to me here in the US, and I assume in other countries that don’t typically use NicoNico.
the internet has become a warzone and i will b proud 2 fight under a leek flag all those miku lovers fall in behind me and begin the battle!!!
Why do they care so much? Miku is crap anyway and deserves to be deleted, she’s just a black hole
i mean, there are more vocaloids with their videos deleted, but everyone just say “SAVE MIKUUUU”
still, it is a bullsh*t movement and should be processed and penalized, and maybe the vocaloid videos should be back on youtube
except the videos with miku as the protagonist
Different people have different opinions. And out of that, many people find Miku entertaining/admiring/etc etc.
It’s the same to you, if you’re gonna have your favorite something taken away you’re just going to have the same reaction.
This sucks, I really like a little dose of Miku when I am feeling down or stressed at work. I am so sick of all this copyright BS and guilty until proven innocent.
Those inscrutable bastards!…. even though I have NO who she is.
I don’t give a flying fuck about Miku and Vocaloid… But that’s just retarded that this is happening. People are fuckin’ gay.
“It’s probably some dirty Korean.”
Lol |D
I think that the people who are doing these things should be killed. I mean, they’re asshole fuckwads. No wonder why society is shit. KILL THEM ALL.
Humanity, as always, brought this war upon itself =.=;;
Nothing made me more angry then when i heard about this yesturday. Whoever or whomever is doing this is butthurt like nothing ever before seen.
Why do ppl write “en masse”? Its like swedish “en massa”. Its annoying to read it with english then like swedish T_T
“I think this is just haters.”
That’s the bottom line right there.
Unfortunately I’ve personnally tried dealing with the YouTube police before over such matters and I’ll tell you the honest truth about them: They’re about as smart as an empty plastic bag blowing in the wind. Not the sharpest tools in the shed by far. Seriously.
if there was any question which bands would play the london olympics, first refusal would go straight to iron maiden, which is fronted by an olympic grade fencer, before any johnny foreigner pop act
This means war.
FUCKING BIG BROTHER GOVERNMENT DID THIS!!
sounds like somebody got fired
i was never hired.
What I’d love to see? These false reporters paraded through the streets and then hanged in mobile cranes, just like in Iraq.
The sight of executed filth on the skyline and horizon drives home the point more than bloodied and severed heads.
i just looked through my youtube playlist (mostly vocaloid) and a dozen videos are missing. notably “net game addicts” and megurine ruka’s “corruption garden” both of which already had dupes up, so this mass fraudulent reporting is pointless.
thats a very batman thing to say.
anon. be so kind and quote anon.
people lets focus, like sopa and pipa this is just a distraction while acta gets approved.

mah fukken lol
Didn’t Japan sign ACTA??
Signed as was the first nation and develop with the USA in 2006 …and in june 2008 was official …and aggregate countries as Australia, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea and Singapore!!
Japan is as guilty as the USA but the United States in possession of the Treaty began abusing the power as always 🙁
miku, FIGHT!!!!
we will support you any way we can!^^
retarded japanese otakus are retarded.
The Americans never stop to amaze me with the tricks.
>.>
Ugh… I’m beginning to believe the morons of Japan are starting to surpass the morons of the U.S.
I propose placing the ones responsible in an enclosed chamber with extremely powerful loudspeakers on every wall and playing Love is War at over a hundred decibels until their brains leak from their ears.
How do we START a campaign like this for all the god damn mother fuckers that make AMV’s with Linkin Park songs and the like…?
I REALLY want to know..
we must make a campaign against whoever making a left4dead edit game video while miku hatsune using her as a target practice we must be a protector of miku hatsune for this kind of bullying no to bullying stop bullying miku hatsune in left4dead edit game don’t use miku hatsune as a target practice please do not use miku hatsune as a target practice in left4dead edit game this is not funny
I feel sad for breathing the same air and living on the same planet as those creatures terrorizing people who just want to enjoy something that actually does NOT cost something. And even worse: those creatures who do nothing against it, who try to prevent shit by banning videogames, anime and music, causing even MORE chaos and brining sadness and sorrow over millions of innocent people… maybe I’m the last person on this earth who still bothers, maybe everyone just accepted that we’re all fucked. I just hope Batman reads this and kicks everyone in the nuts,
Thanks – the anonymous
HEY I AM FUCKIN BATMAN! *puts out his snickers*
THIS TUK A VERY LONG FUKIN TIME BRO!

CUZ I AM CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE!

schluss!
Hell yeah.
This stupid shitty musical “phenomenon” just have to die.
I’m afraid a musical phenomenon can’t die. But you can. It’s not too late to get out of misery.
die scum! filthy terrorist! why bother reading this topic? die just die!
damn, I hate haters! arrrrrrghgblglbgbl
rule1:
terrorists dont CUM in masses.
i mean: there is no terrorist. there are only terrorists.
i have nothing to do with all this… but i just thought… hey… its a terrorist basher o.o on sankaku!
and i decided to write it down.
isnt a bad thing RIGHT? ^^
my 1 cent
lol NO U, faggot
I really wonder how can you listen this shit. Those dashed, “discrete”, made out of single syllables, and due to this, absolutely lifeless vocals are making my ears hurt and bleed every time I accidentally listen to some music without knowing that the artist is using the Vocaloid software. Maybe you are deaf a bit, or just listening to music with your ass instead of ears.
Also, the annoyance is doubled if the music itself is actually cool.
At present, your miku is just all faggotry and fap on the drawn girl and her striped panties, and in this state it would be better for it to _vanish_ lol
We’ll make sure you’ll get more of Miku and her music until you kill yourself.
SOPA again!!!
So, has anyone noticed particular files missing? I can’t not find a Miku video I search for on there.
They are attempting to control the Internet.
1. Fileshare’s destruction.
2. Miku and other popular japan good’s deletion.
3. Shutting down Sankukucomplex.com and other blogs.
4. Eradicating low tax payers makes Facebook pay a lot than it should.
Actually a similar thing happened to Hyde’s Vamprose Channel but that matter was sorted out after. There was some bogus claim on the VAMPS music videos that were posted on his channel but since he is the actual owner of those songs not to mention its his record label they put his channel back up and its been fine ever since.
Isn’t claiming copyright when you do no own it pergury?
It’s pretty funny some of them use any excuse to blame Koreans, their view of this world is pretty damn small.
Everyone knows these 2chan people are fake nationalists who are only good at talking shit on the internet but it’s getting old.
Fuck you Korean
Well fuck you too
I know people are gonna hate this but i find this positive, i dislike Miku because of her voice but accepts her for what she is, a community effort, i personally don’t care about the fact that her videos are disappearing i do however care about the fact that this might get Google to overlook their ridiculous policy, it’s really a naive policy that is way too easy to abuse and in the end it cripples the creativity of the common man.
must be dem koreanz
Let’s destroy those maggots who sweeping Miku-chan
Don’t give DDoS, give them malware.
dont know, dont care. save the piracy first.
It’s like William Gibson’s world is really coming into fruition. Albeit a shittier one with less balls.
I can’t stand 2ch’s hatred towards Korea, I’ve been there, got lost and was escorted by the police back to civilization. Fucking good people.
Fucking nerds.
2ch users will ridicule themselves for being Neo-Nazi-like racists. 2ch would have been the greatest internet forum in the world if it didn’t promote Sinophobic or anti-Korean racism.
aint that what sankaku does too?, but to be fair sankaku is everyphobic hahahaha
Yeah, double standards. Basically, it’s like looking in the mirror when you compare these two sites.
Do they know that Hitler much preferred the Chinese as an ally instead of Imperial Japan but was stuck with it and had to make do with what he have?
2ch is a haven of bitter nerds. Used to go here and check stuff.
http://jun.2chan.net/31/futaba.htm
2ch wouldn’t last a second in the real world.
Those bastards. Leave it alone, guys. No one cares about your precious copyright bullshit, and we never will.
Wow, when did the internet became sucha serious business?
miku killed?! sounds good to me, that shit was so 2010
which is why she has a #1 itunes single in 2012
I bet you won’t feel good now that her videos are now back up.
FFFUUU me a river. Your cries of agony will be my day’s highlight.
FFFFUUUU from the anonymous above this post when her videos get restored due to false copyright claim in 3…2…1…
why all the hate?
So sad to see a sad Miku.
There is always dailymotion to escape the farce of usa justice system…
i think it’s bieber who did that xD
just upload to another site.
I think that SOPA is not dead yet and that between US government and other countries are still behind this so called SOPA act. I feel there is going to be a net war still to come. Yes the Freedom of Speech is coming to a end folks and that just cant happen.
I hope America gets its shit together and realizes it needs to focus on other threats and debts first before it goes and attacks people.
At this rate America is set up to fail
Impressive… To take advantage of the calm after SOPA, PIPA and ACTA, as they are still fresh in the minds of people over… I respect their ability to strategize, however…
TO WAGE WAR AGAINST MIKU!? ELIZABETH! TO ARMS!
To be perfectly honest, I’m American and though I may not be able to speak for a majority of those who listen to Miku, I honestly don’t see this as that big a deal. Miku has supporters all around the world, correct? And i”m pretty sure we all have just about every song made by Miku and the other vocaloids on our computers, mp3 players and such so, just because she’s being taken off the internet, she’s not exactly going away for good. Sure we won’t see her videos on youtube if these mass deletions persist, but as her supporters, we keep her alive just by listening to her songs every day on whatever device we have her on. She’s not goin anywhere when you look at it that way.
In closing: stop pointing the finger at who you THINK is behind it and just enjoy the music we’ve been blessed with by our digital goddess and be happy that she will always be with us. Makes a ton more sense, right?
hmm so far my favourites list is unnaffected
One (of many) amendments to copyright law I think is that there should be a stiff penalty for a false copyright complaint.
Right now there’s too many blackmailers who literally use the fake copyright/threat of a lawsuit to extort money (chiefly big corporations). Usually dry boring, and the cost passed on to us, but this does get into the mainstream, such as when JibJab ended up paying blackmail to a later exposed as fake “Rightsholder” to “this land is your land” even though Gutherie had openly said dozens of times his songs were NOT for any “Copyright”…
And in any copyright / counter claim there’s a big difference between some passionate inventor who might truly believe he made the X-device before Y-company came up with it and some parasite lawyer who claims he has the rights to like 5 lines of code…
“Somebody tell the guys at 4chan about what those Korean bastards are up to! Can’t anyone here write English properly!?”
“Forget 4chan – don’t expect anything from them, they prefer just to watch.”
“Leave them out of this! You don’t know what they’ll do!”
“4chan never helped with that ranking – that’s just lies. They have no interest in Vocaloids over there.”
“Don’t involve them – it’s a big mistake to think they like the Japanese. And involving them is just like the tactics a certain country uses. If they decide to help, fine, but don’t try and drag them in.”
Oh god my sides!
SOPA,ACTA and “suspicious parties” all from the same organization.
This is a evil organization. Akatsuki??..jk.
oh man, this is war.
“It’s probably some dirty Korean.”

As usual, people taking something created for the purpose of bringing happiness to the world and turning it into sorrow and anger.
And so begins the 2012 Great Miku Purge and Counter-Purge.
These haters want a war, they’ll get a war.
so … save miku ..
right … i’m in , but how ?
Keep spreading the warning words:
1) that there are morons out there who have fun deleting other people’s YouTube videos with falsified copyright claims, and
2) to make counter-notifications to YouTube to recover mistakenly deleted videos, because only the original uploaders can file those notifications.
ARE YOU READY GUYS? PUT YA GUNS ON!!
dont koreans like miku a lot? lol
what, why would any korean like anything japanese… they hate whatever that’s japanese…
I’ve never seen Miku on the South Korean music top chart. Just K-pop duplicates.
Cuz they don’t even try to sell Miku albums in Korea -.- There’s only ONE album so far that was released in Korea featuring Miku. Japanese Albums are overpriced like hell in other countries standards and EMS shipping adds to that.
If they released more albums, I would buy it but right now, the only Miku album I have is “Supercell”, the only album released in Korea featuring miku.
And I’ve never seen Miku in a music chart outside Japan, or outside anime/manga circles.
Stop being such an irrational human being.
@16:28
There is ONLY one album released in Korea so far, so if they don’t want to support that ONE Album, then why the hell would they want to release Albums to a dead market over there?
@10:07
Then release the fucking song in Korea if you want ANY chance of her being in the rankings. You can’t even get the damn song in Korean iTunes store to begin with. Besides, I’m not gonna spend like 600 bucks to buy an iPhone to get just one song. They should be releasing the ALBUMS.
The single “”World is Mine”” was in the top ten American iTunes chart. That would explain her popularity over here in the states, but like i said, I’ve never seen her in the top South Korean charts. No need to get so angry.
@09:47: Calm the HELL down, I was using his own example because he expects to see Hatsune Miku in regular music charts, that’s like expecting US music charts to always show some Miku where she’s most probably not well known enough to even appear. Besides, just because she’s not on a list doesn’t mean we American fans don’t listen to her.
Now take a chill pill, good heavens.
anime/manga cicles don’t count?
Why the FUCK r u here then?
Quick, to Zappcast!
Sadness is in the air, sadness fills the sky, sadness waves across the face of youtube, sadness vrings tears to the eyes.
Anti Miku must DIE!!!!
Im going to Post The disaperence of hatsune miku on FB to support her i guess its my small way of showing support
Unless they’re pulling Miku videos off niconico I don’t really care.
This, basically. Most of the videos -are- unauthorized because they’re ripped from nico and uploaded without the original creator’s consent.
My mistake, it turns out this is mostly targeting original songs by people on youtube in english and spanish, not the japanese songs from nico.
Im so gonna take a shotgun and blast the motherfucker in the face.
my assassin senses did tingle here. o.O
the funniest thing is: i never knew i had those!
maybe i shouldnt have played diablo2 assassine character!
then… WHICH MOTHERFUCKER DO YOU WANNA BLAST IN THE FACE WITH A SHOTGUN?
Plan #1 replace all Korean videos with Hatsune Miku’s “The World is Mine”(AKA the Miku Roll)
Plan #2 Write complaints to youtube.
[=>Plan #3 Get a sandwich and let someone else competent handle the situation.
That’s an excellent idea! Love IS war!
IS is infinite stratos! katanashi !!! not love is war!
Isn’t Tokyotosho down for some reason? (could be maintenance). Most file sharing venues are down although some are bravely staying afloat.
Also, as much as I dislike all these venues for accessible anime/manga/game content going down, it’s been a long time coming unfortunately.
I used to work with fansubbers and also collaborate with scantlations before, and the way some book publishers of Japan go straight at the scantlators can be pretty scary.
It doesn’t seem to even matter that they pass a stringent bill to shut these venues down. They simply have the power to do so now.
OK 1. http://www.mediainteractive.co.jp/
2 Junichi Sasa (1 of them might not be him) has a patent for konami in 2001 and may have connections to Toyota but i dont got the info as im no hacker. theirs a Director of sugi holdings (doubtful) and some Fighter pilot during WWII.
3. take him and them down more skilled ppl!
“”and some Fighter pilot during WWII””.
You completely lost me.
My apologies those were the 3 people i found the first may be the ‘real one’ the second is doubful and the 3 could oh just used it as a alias
That’s what “dirty business” is like.
another net war
We never had the first one. It was more like a slaughter on the internet citizens by the government.
It’s got to be the DoJ and FBI.
1st They go After MegaUpload, Now they go after Hatsune Miku’s Songs posted on Youtube.
They Need to Be Stopped.
More Miku for All!
Why the hell would someone do this?! Their probably seething with rage since the world will inevitably will belong to Miku. XD
The world already belongs to Miku… They just don’t know it yet.
Keep dreaming, retard.
Agree. Miku-san maji tenshi already.
Look deep inside you anon , you know it to be true.
Someone should hack Media Interactive Inc accounts.
Right?
The interwebs is turning into something like my neighborhood chaos everywhere. I swear if this is because of those stupid people behind the recent SOPA issue… I’m gonna cry in a corner T_T
If it had been SOPA/PIPA/ACTA then the uploaders would have been deleted via drone strikes.
Miku and company, or any unreasonable facsimile thereof, would have been rounded up by bounty hunters and renditioned to Guantanamo for waterboarding.
And every time someone cosplayed Miku at a con the bounty hunters would grab them as well and we’d hear again on TV that night how Al Voca #2 had been captured for 3147th time.
Of course the mastermind Oyasumi bin Luka would remain at large for a decade in order to maintain the eternal War On Terebi….
Youtube tends always take the side of a false claim.Even if its a rape victim for example they always take the side person who is lying.
They obviously have no idea how popular Miku is with the Korean masses.
No, they understand how Korea is the most nationalistic country in the world.
Like all those random K-pop bands on youtube with view counts more than anything else within a few days of uploading.
All those random K-pop bands popping up all over the top 100 chart of the London Olympic Singers voting site.
Fake demo in London to bring K-pop bands over when it was later found it was orchestrated by the record company with 80 or so people but yet when they showed they news they said hundreds of people showed up.
It’s just a nation that is willing to cheat and lie so much until it becomes “the truth”(to them at least), that is just how they run things.
Looks like Koreans are reading these comments and downvoting them with their collective hivemind as usual.
It is fortunate they only have influence online, they don’t even have a whole country in the real world.
@09:51 Hahahaha, I’m from Argentina. Haters gonna hate either way, Miku haters and you are no different.
you certainly are not one of those.
No, it’s more like there are more intelligent people here than you’d like to believe and they can’t stand such retarded thinking.
I bet $500 yaku is a fucking Korean
Jeez, look’s like they’ll be invading Sancom….. Yet again.
I agree. Remember that stunt they pulled at the 2002 Fifa World Cup? That was a truly disgusting moment for Football fans.
They might be the same people that sat in the very front seats that never stood up at Mikunopolis.
It’s people like you that made the concert for the back row suck. honestly how can you enjoy when you have some 6 foot people in front of you and cant see anything. Then again I blame Anime Expo for selling more ticket then it should with limited view capability. It’s not like she would see you if you stand up.
I hate being a filthy american though japanese, koreans, canadians and pretty much everyone sucks as well but not as much as america (including those countries for ACTA). So is this issue as the article says or some pre-SOPA/ACTA/TPP/PCFIPA/PIPA/OPEN crap?
Spy sapping ma miku vids D:<
God, these “nationalistic” retards never fail to amuse me… Korean or Japanese, being “nationalistic” seems worse than any other ideologies.
I don’t know, given enough time to let them brew, all ideologies end up with a bunch of retarded idiots representing it. It’s hard to tell which is the more idiotic, they compete to outclass each other.
I know… those Japanese haters gotta learn some s&$t. Just leave those jealous and awfully misguided Koreans as what they are, for the sake of dignifying Japanese themselves. People who call others fools are equally fools…
I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my Miku go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.
Someone go post this one 4chan, quickly! They are our only hope.
“4chan never helped with that ranking – that’s just lies. They have no interest in Vocaloids over there.
what the hell… the majority who voted on that site arent japanese… the site is in English and majority of the japanese wont even bother looking at it.
Well it’s true that say, about 99% of the votes came from places other than Japan or cast by fans other than Japanese nationals, and the article didn’t take that in account. The author apparently didn’t check relevant 2ch or NND pages to see that for himself before writing this; the thing was drawing attention of such few people there! Well until, they found out that Miku finished first.
By the way, I really wish I remembered where one can see what those pathetic Korean retards were up to when the pole was still going on. They basically did a trick on their web browsers to enable them to cast votes multiple times by defying proxy or some IP setting. (I may be wrong about the technical jargons right there.)
While yes, your are correct in pointing out that the article misunderstood who really contributed to Miku’s ascend at that Olympic pole site (as you say, it didn’t involve any sizable number of Japanese nationals at all), note that the Japanese internet users actually became aware of, and started paying attention to the UK site’s pole after some of them witnessed its campaigns elsewhere on the net, like YouTube, Facebook, or Twitter. (I’m talking about the Japanese nationals at 2ch.)
The thing is that while those dim-witted Koreans used some proxy-related technique that allows a single internet user to cast votes several hundred times, Japanese nationals only kept watching — watching Miku’s votes grow at massive pace thanks to all the votes by Miku lovers around the world.
1) We don’t know if it’s the Koreans. It’s pure speculation.
2) It’s really YouTube’s fault for allowing unverified takedowns. As long as this is possible, it will be abused.
“Try searching for ‘VANK’ – you’ll see.”
After seeing this, I did do a search for VANK… and what I see is a (comparatively) huge section about “Attack by Japanese internet users”
Yea……
It’s a dedicated Korean English language propaganda/pressure group, so naturally they control the English Wikipedia article.
Searching in Japanese gives the opposite impression (although that is not to say that their Japanese critics are any more trustworthy or any less unsavoury).
i searched for VANK too.
and i got a bunch of information about koreans. but not a single japanese ehm i mean.. what? fuck was not given!
omg what did i just think ^^
A lot people know how to make false claims on DMCA before there is a video about on Youtube.
Something bad happened to dirty otaku fapping routine, ergo those dirty Koreans done it again.
It’s as simple as that.
[quote]It’s really YouTube’s fault for allowing unverified takedowns. As long as this is possible, it will be abused.[/quote]
They are required to if Google wants to continue to operate in the USA.
YouTube is allowed to leave the content up until they get confirmation that the person/group that filed the DMCA take-down does indeed own copyright. The law is quite simple, they just don’t want to go through the extra effort when they can just remove first, confirm later.
No, they are not. They are required to accept the request in good faith. If they refused to do so and the request turned out to be valid, they are legally liable. If the MAFIAAs can sue teenagers for millions over a few mp3s, think what they would do to Google which has been a thorn in their eye for more than a decade now.
Reference:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Copyright_Infringement_Liability_Limitation_Act
[quote]”Good practice” or not, it’s bullshit, especially when they are deleting videos copyrights to which has the uploader, without even spending 5 minutes on checking it, just because some unrelated asshole decided to press the “report” button.[/quote]
One asshole pressing the report button does nothing. If enough assholes do, Google will investigate and determine weather the content should be taken down. However, they take user reports with a grain of salt just as they should.
This is a different thing. Google has a separate non-public system to file infringement requests. Copyright holders can apply to use that system, but they are required to sign a contract with Google. Using that system lets you takedown videos immediately, but the contract has provisions against false requests. If you deliberately file false requests that way, Google can turn around and sue you for sabotaging their service.
And by the way, it takes more than 5 minutes to determine weather a given party has the right to issue takedown requests. You can’t just go to wikipedia and look it up. The courts will eat you alive if you do something as naive. It becomes even more complicated when organizations often subcontract separate entities to do the takedowns for them. You need to verify the publisher really has rights to the content with the local government, and then verify the request with the publisher itself. It may take hours to go through the bureaucratic bullshit.
Considering the volume of infringing video uploaded on YT every day, it’s infeasible to validate all of them.
i am a paranoid asshole… and i have never uploaded a youtube video.
i just watched to many of em.
maybe your definition of “paranoid asshole” needs an overhaul.
“Good practice” or not, it’s bullshit, especially when they are deleting videos copyrights to which has the uploader, without even spending 5 minutes on checking it, just because some unrelated asshole decided to press the “report” button.
I mean, ok, they might be afraid, but that is taking it too far, and I don’t really know why the whole SOPA/PIPA/ACTA/whatever else crap is even considered when the sole chance for them to pass makes people into paranoid assholes.
By removing the content they also remove there liability. So it’s just good practice, according to legal.
“‘Good practice’ or not, it’s bullshit, especially when they are deleting videos copyrights to which has the uploader, without even spending 5 minutes on checking it, just because some unrelated asshole decided to press the ‘report’ button.”
Because Americans are so good at stealing shit, 90% of the time it is copyrighted material anyway?
If you don’t like companies presuming you’re all thieving bastards, don’t act like them?
No, they don’t. The DMCA only states that the copyright holder can issue a takedown notice.
It doesn’t say that anyone else can just issue a random takedown notices; they have no legal standing whatsoever. In fact, in the US it is impossible for an unmandated individual or organisation (even the government) to file any sort of copyright claim or suit on behalf of someone else.
Yes, but the publisher is not responsible for validating the request. Their only options are to comply or unleash the lawyers.
It’s a bit to expect google to fight your legal battles.
Screw the USA.
Create the USA-net, and leave the Internet to the rest of the world.
@22:01
The first “computer” was invented by a British man called Charles Babbage. His analytical engine is the first turing complete machine in the world.
Computer networking was simultaneously developed in several different countries, notably the USA, UK and France. The “internet” didn’t really get invented by anyone. It just sort of grew naturally around the same routing system based on the Internet Protocol (IP).
Computer is invented in Germany. Google Konrad Zuse.
Computer is invented in Europe. Research before you speak or your speech is invalid.
The internet was invented in the USA, so was the computer. Why doesn’t the rest of the world make their own internet? lol
If it sounds like what those Koreans would do, and you smell a little kimchi, it’s gotta be the fucking Koreans…
Meh they will never take her away haters can hate all they want.. she is here to stay and this is only gonna make her popular lol
This could be good. After the Megaupload Song and now this, Youtube may be obligated to investigate the ownership claims of any new takedown requests. This could not only improve the accuracy of takedowns, but slow them down as well.
Also, in before “The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku.” C’monnnn! That would be the perfect headline!
It is no doubt that the culprit are those filthy Americans. Those filthy Americans will do anything to screw over the entire world.
Yeah, just look at what it’s done to the world via McDonald’s…even boosted Japan’s average cup size…wait…hmm…on second thought, thank you, McDonald’s.
Yea Americans need to cut that shit out. Damn them filthy Americans for inventing things we never use like video game consoles, computers, TV, the assembly line, mobile phones, normal phones, peanut butter, air conditioning, refrigeration, sunglasses, airplanes, the internet, revolvers, rifles, machine guns, nuclear power plants, (discovered) electricity, records, the lightbulb (not the stupid potato one), film, GPS,
When will that stupid country do ANYTHING that benefits the world and makes it a funner place to live in? :\
Btw, wtf is vocaloid?
I think the thing people should keep in mind here is that it’s kind of silly to attribute the discovery or creation of things to an entire country. It’s more the individuals who are responsible. That doesn’t mean the country didn’t influence them, but all this arguing about whose country did what is just an excuse for random people of those countries to boast about discoveries that they – as individuals – had absolutely nothing to do with.
Anyway, back on topic… Miku seems to get a lot of negative Western coverage, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Miku videos were being deleted by someone in the West who seriously believes that Vocaloids are nothing more than a sex object for Japanese virgins. That isn’t to say that it has to be an American, but the possibility is there.
Baer was one of those awesome American citizens who had to flee Germany as a kid for being Jewish, escaping the country before the 1940’s. He lived in New Hampshire and his higher education past the age of 11 was all in America. I’m not really sure you can say the first console was a German invention because of it. That’s sort of like saying the Manhatten Project was German because of Einstein.
The morale is, don’t scare off your smart dudes for bigotted reasons.
Television is trickier because Baird’s and Farnsworth’s models were developed completely unrelated from one another with neither building off the other. Although Baird’s model performed the same function, Farnsworth’s was only one of the two to be completely electrical and require no moving parts, and it completely replaced Baird’s version which fell into disuse. Televisions as we know it are derivatives of Farnsworth’s model and have very little derivative from Baird’s.
Computers run into a similar issue in that so many were developed independently and completely unrelated to each other, though it is not a disservice to say the US developed the first digital computer (because this is true, and an important groundwork for what we know as computers today).
As for refridgerators, Ibn Sina invented the refridgerator coil back in the 11th century, but it wasn’t until William Cullen (Scotland) and Oliver Evans (US) adapted it into more modern use that the idea of refridgeration really became possible. The first refridgerators as were know it (utilizing vapor-compression for cooling) were created by Evans having been built off the groundwork laid out by Cullen half a century earlier. This is more an example of the progression of scientific thought than anything else, but refridgeration as we know it didn’t occur until Cullen finalized his developments.
History of technology tends to be progressive and you have to look at the chain of development. You can’t just say BAM, this man invented a red paint out of blood before that other guy who used oils, and therefore all oil-paintings with red paint are derived from his work with blood.

First off, the first video game console was invented by Ralph Baer in, guess where, good ol arrogant U.S of A. From there, he approached RCA who rejected his invention. So he went to Magnavox, which is also a U.S. company. There, they released the first video game console. The Japanese didn’t even get involved with video games for about 4 years later.
Second off, a quick glance at Wikipedia reveals that Iraq did NOT discover electricity. It was the ancient Egyptians who noticed the electric eels would shock people in the water. They would use the eels to treat various conditions. Later, the discovery of static electricity was noted in the Mediterranean. The first serious research into electricity was conducted by an English scientist who coined the name “electricus” Further study was conducted by various scientists in Europe. Benjamin Franklin discovered that lighting was electrical by nature and made a huge leap in learning to actually harness electricity.
I only fact checked 2 of your “truths” and so far, things are not looking good for you my friend. My advice for you is to finish high school and learn basic research skills before you try and refute history with nonsense.
Another does not admit the truth still is misinformed.
When will that stupid country do ANYTHING that benefits the world and makes it a funner place to live in? : \
If your country has benefited in something has been in the past and ask the countries in which USA commanded the troops that made them a happy place!
Its use there lives a false freedom and every incompetent President chosen this sinking increasingly …
Youtube to stay ended up bitch and erases any videos the willingness of the US Government(this is freedom?)
Miku is the first, I want to see when they start deleting videos just by saying things against USA
America fuck yeah
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhnUgAaea4M
There’s nothing indicates that the reporting company (if it IS a company) is Japanese. All you have is a name, and YouTube can delete stuff based on anonymous, unconfirmed reports.
A.k.a YouTube is fucking retard and so do you.

That kind of blind arrogance is exactly why the world hates your country. Try and remember that when you post dumb and misinformed claims about your national supremacy.
Ever consider the people deleting these videos are actually the Japanese – finally so sick of the cultural rape they suffer at your hands that they’ve chosen to do something about it? American Miku, the slutty cheer leader… o_0 I think not.
I resent that being an american, but I understand that also as I’ve seen this from an american’s stand point… fucking Bush Jr. Administration…
Lol, this anon posts the same type of thing on any article even remotely related to the US (and sometimes not even related to the US). You can usually tell because he likes to use the term “filthy Americans”. 🙂
I suspect many of the culprits are conservatives in the west who dislike Japanese stuff.
Such as the type of people who leave comments like “This is weeaboo shit”.
Spending effort on hate seems wasteful to me, particularly for something like niche nerd software, but I guess I’m not one to talk about wasted energy.
It doesn’t help that YouTube essentially has a public “Delete this video” button.
>Somebody tell the guys at 4chan!
NOT YOUR PERSONah who am I kidding, when a cause is sufficient they’re the perfect angry mob.
You’d think they might try to fix the DMCA given how obnoxiously it is being abused. Can’t have that though, the big media corporations might actually have to think before acting and we can’t have that now, can we?
Anon 16:58:
It’s not *just* the DCMA, it’s also YouTube’s internal technical and policy mechanisms.
For more info on what YouTube’s been doing, and what your options with them (and other video-content-hosting companies) are if your video is pulled, check out:
http://www.fairusetube.com
I suppose the take-aways are:
– Always have your own backups.
– If your material lives on YouTube’s servers, that material is subject to YouTube’s whims. The same is true with any corporation.

Deleting everything from youtube even if we have nothing to do with it?
Sounds like Sony music.
I’ve had a Madoka parody pulled by Sony Music after it got over 10,000 views. -_- They suck balls
If your vid indeed had something that unfortunately violated someone’s copyright, and was taken down, then, yeah, at least I feel sorry for you.
But if you think your vid was taken down by some kind of mistake, do file a counter-notification to YouTube. It should come back online in a few weeks if you succeed convincing them. Convincing them is not a big deal at all, pretty easy.
ヽ(  ̄д ̄;)ノ Second this. My Old account got taken down because of them even though I had audio swapped.

That’s aweful, even if it’s them
Haters gonna hate.
I have had several of my youtube accounts deleted on more than one occasion…and my last channel prior to my nexest one had over 250,000 total (video) views.
All because of “All this is possible because YouTube allows unverified third parties to issue takedown notices on any content they host, which usually results in a swift deletion of the video which can only be reversed by a counter-notification.”
I now back up all my uploaded videos.
I put up a lot of music remix videos on youtube, and my most recent channel already has 1 strike against b/c of some unknown entity claimed that my remix “video infirnged on their copyright”.
The worst part is, they didn’t even tell me who filed the claim against me.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The same crap is happening on DailyMotion as well.
At least DM doesn’t delete your account; they just notify you if a video infringes on copyrighted material, and tell you to remove it ASAP.
I do agree…have a back-up of all videos submitted to youtube or anyother video-sharing site.

fus ro dah!!
Madness? This.. is.. *sigh* the American Government.. true logic don’t apply to those wrinkled bigwigs who only want to control out lives and ruin our fun on the net.
America is no longer a free nation, lets realize that now. So unless we just sit and complain.. we lose more than just our internet.

This video, Never Forget
Madness you say?…(meh I won’t finish this overused joke) ¬ ¬

Can you say “Streisand effect”?

Morningstar, oh shine
onto the beloved of mine
Cast a warm light
onto her frightening face
Tell her she’s not alone…
I never understood how you have to prove your innocence in copyright dealings. Isn’t that backwards thinking?
Hey I’m korean and although I don’t listen to either K-Pop or Vocaloid, I think it’s dumb for miku videos to be taken down
Innocent until proven Korean.
A million times this.
It gets so annoying how backwards everything is. The whole system has been abused ad infinitum. It is illegal to false flag anything under the DMCA (which this stuff has to adhere to). Supposedly they are supposed to be charged for damages, but that is really hard to calculate here… I wish more people would be tracked down and taken to court for false flagging, and then at the least charged with paying all the court fines.
I know this all sounds ridiculous, but it is a criminal offense. It is kind of like pulling a fire alarm, except for information instead.
Legalfags don’t give a fuck, they take the law any way they want and push a wad of cash in everyone’s faces to “prove their point”. The only time I’ve seen this NOT work was with SOPA and PIPA, which now nobody wants to touch.
why arent we blaming america? anytime i see miku in america, her coverage is negitive or wrongly portrayed. maby its more “proamericanism” since america doesnt like ANYone touching there monoply on music. we need more suspects people and since youtube will side with american companys i think it makes sense.
Good. Vocaloids are a fucking joke of music.
More people will agree that you are a fucking joke to humanity. Go hang yourself you worthless piece of shit.
Yeah, people who can’t respect Miku should be hung in telescopic cranes like what they do in Iraq and Iran.
Coming from an anonymous, that statement is just as a fucking joke with no credibility.
Aside from this, those damned Koreans also copied Miku’s songs that they deleted for SeeU and reposted them as SeeU original and promote SeeU that Miku copied her.
Wow, that’s really low of them.
This is f*cking bullshit what they’re doing. Out of all the catastrophic things that need better attention, they focus on Miku. These guys are haters for sure. It’s all about money.
I knew something like this gonna happen when I heard the news of release of SeeU(?) “that country’s” vocaloid last year….. For me, I don’t see any chance for her to go against Miku as I listen to the songs available though
Still hoping every day that North Korea’s new leader decides to nuke South Korea. The world would become a much better place.
HAHAHA! you really makes me laugh…. not , dont compare South Korea with the joke of country that is North Korea
You fail reading comprehension forever, moron. Who’s making a comparison? I just want South Korea blasted back into the stone age so that the country matches the population. But then you’re probably Korean yourself, which is why you’re so stupid.
if these deletes are done by them, “back into the stone age” wouldn’t be enough… total eradication of the race it must be!!!

No wonder you make such idiotic comments, dumbass.
Miku’s got enemies? Who’d of thought…
I’ve got my list:
Idolm@ster girls (Competition)
Dream C Club girls (Competition)
Max Headroom (He can’t possibly still be around, can he?)
China (They’re planning their own virtual idol who will *coincidentally* be similar to Miku only more…explosive?)
Various & sundry Christian & Muslim groups (They think she is the harbinger of the Anti-Christ AND she won’t cover herself like a proper muslim woman should)
Disney (She’s stealing Mickey’s fans & Pixar might be mad that they didn’t do a virtual idol first!)
Various & sundry live performers (It can’t JUST be the Korean ones feeling outdone by the pixel pixy!)
Miku herself! (Publicity stunt anyone?)
This is why I prefer Nico.
There’s a dedicated Vocaloid category and nobody can pull crap like this and get away with it.
Yeah, Nico Nico’s awesome.
Ah, so when people start ignoring western CRAP (read: media) you’ll murder the competition just like how you murdered Bruce Lee to remind Us Asians of “our place”, hmm?
Jews: Proving Hitler Right Since 1945.
everyone should give their support including 4chan
You have not been to 4chan, have you?
Much bigger problems than this going on in the world. Get over it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was an attempt to sow discord between countries to distract them from those much bigger problems.
Welp, I’m just going to report every korean ripoff I see.
They should try asking 4chan during the American day-time. Night-time 4chan is lazy.
All I can say is this better have nothing to do with K-Pop and let it just be only a loose speculation. Honestly, I’m already experiencing spontaneous dislike on that phenomena of overrated mediocrity of girl groups and boy bands doing stuff that everyone else on earth can do.. and I seriously don’t want it to be evolved into total loathing that will make all my K-pop fangirls friends throw me grenades everytime I pull out a sigh when they play K-pop (loudly) in public.
Yup, I don’t know how people can listen to that garbage. Does Hard Rock even exist in South Korea?
Hahahaha! Take that you Miku bitch!
May a life-long curse befall on you to bring endless agony you won’t even be able to sleep any night.
Fuck off, troll.
It’s gotta be those fucking Koreans…
the japanese response that its always the koreans is like the usa blaming the mexicans or canadians for everything that goes wrong within the country
but in this case, you gotta take note that this particular sasa junichi mot#$%’=~ker has been deleting only japanese vocaloids. no korean vocaloid videos have been taken down by this guy (or group). at the same time some koreans have been uploading korean-covered miku songs on youtube TOTALLY WITHOUT INDICATING THE ORIGIN OF THOSE SONGS, as if those videos are originally korean!
this time japanese do have some good reasons to doubt korean atrocity. it’s only the firm evidence that’s been lacking.
@02:04 Yeah, I noticed this as well.
KOREAN SHIT!
THERE IS A GOD!
Finally, the time has come for the queen to die.
And not without her opponents meeting a severely horrible death. Of body and soul.
NOT WITHOUT A FIGHT!
We know its the Koreans, but we still don’t care.
noone said you should.
Then again, we have niconico douga.
i can’t read japanese
don’t lie lol
emotional stunters might get you.
like they did it with me.
then dont cry (nakuna)
devils arent allowed to cry anymore.
i decided so.
-truth
yea seriously… Just move to Niconico…
on another note, anyone know if the account deletions consists of the actual producer/creator of the song sung by the Vocaloid series? (Like for example, did Ryo’s/Supercell’s Youtube account, or anyone like him, get deleted from youtube -if they even have a youtube channel…)
There’s none so far but Lady Gaga’s channel took a hit from the same ‘Media Interactive Inc’ shit. Even when the producer of the music authorized it for reprinting they still get deleted.
I honestly thought of Korean fandumb after the Olympic voting too. And I’m no Japs.
Meh, Miku’s music was crap anyway. Real voices muy bien.
DOWNVOTE ME!
Deprive him of pain. He wants pain? Don’t give it to him. He wants peace? Give him hell.
Perfect way to fuck up someone’s reverse psychology.
having been under the shadow of japan and their influence for hundreds of years, I suppose this is one way for Koreans to get back at japan, since changing history and geography obviously have had little effect.
But really, if it does turn out to be some Korean organized conspiracy, I am sad, just so sad that they would sink so low…
Fucking filthy japanese nigger dogs always thinks its the koreans. This is the reason why koreans hate the japs, they just dont fucking stop with the hate.
Then shit gets posted here on sankaku and all you americans brainlessly zerg on the fucking ideals of these filthy fucks and think the same thing.
Anyone who thinks this is done by the koreans should just stop using the internet, if you don’t know shit and mindlessly follow a bunch of haters then you have no right to use this site, or anything at all.
I think its those obama cock sucking worshiper americans that did this.
you sound genuinely korean. blaming others who are totally innocent to cover your own wrongdoing, just because you are incapable of seeing ‘facts.’ i am delighted to keep finding for the last 15 years no exception to the rule that all koreans are lying, dishonest, confused, awfully hysteric and never authentic. it’s trully suprising that the saying ‘examples do not always represent the all.’ to koreans.
duh, the saying ‘examples do not always represent the all.’ dooes not apply to koreans.
You’re an idiot. Those 2ch comments are handpicked and “”carefully”” translated. By getting mad at what some trolls said, you fell right into Sancom’s trap. Basically, it’s like if someone posted the worst comments from Sancom to another site, they would think were all full of trash.
Calm the fuck down you racist asshole.
yay
awwww the poor tuna is getting nothing but negative votes in every post.
Soon you’ll be lower ranked than the most hated users in the forums,
Hey Michael, Lucifer called. You’re missing your daily trident enema and you’re due for it.
