    and Sega keeps removing more of her breasts on each game, so pedobear might consider it.

    16 IS too old. Take the '1' out of there and then we're talking.

    Also, who cares about dfc? Lolis are prepubescent, with face, body size and body structure abiding by this; however, tit size need not follow the rule. A flat chest doesn't make a loli, and a loli doesn't need such.

    What category would Komoe from To Aru Majutsu no Index fit in, since she's older than Miku?

    Komoe is a legal loli. Pedobaer might be confused, but hit it anyway.

    Lolis can't be legal, nor should they. A loli should have the mind, knowledge and body of a small child - otherwise it's just a genetic freak, instead of an angel.

    The column mainly describes how the mascot of the vocal synthesizer software progressed on to becoming a huge hit in techno j-pop duly because the girl(Miku) portrays of a *young* fresh face and therefore attracted the attention of many otakus* around the world

    not much too say to be honest. It talks about how famous she is in Japan. Then it shows a small interview with an Ecuadorian Otaku that explains what a vocaloid is. They talk about the program and idols. Finally they sum up making a comparison to Gorillaz (same concept but Miku is 100% digital).
    Ill actually translate the last paragraph since it make me giggle:
    "Idols are of great importance to the Japanese culture and the ability to virtualize them have facilitate the capacity to preserve them throw time, since they don't grow old or get tired of giving concerts"

    At the very end it gives a description of the other Vocaloids.

    First spanish-english translation (always english-spanish) hope at least it be redeable:

    "Vocaloid, famous artist that aren't flesh and bones"

    Miku Hatsune is Idol-type artist from Japan. A pop star followed by
    million of youths. a lends her voice for animation series songs.
    She wear flashy costumes and had a particular high pitch.

    The problem is that is impossible. No matter how much her fans want to get in touch with her. Hatsune doesn't exist

    in the real wotld. She is what is known as a Vocaloid, a virtual idol.

    Victor García is an Guayaquillean otaku (name given to the japanese animation fan) (Guayaquillean "those one from

    Guayaquil"). He has followed the Vocaloid phenom very close and explains that it is an voice synthesizer software
    caplade of "sing. "It was developed by Yamaha and sinthesizes songs simply writting lyrics and melody", comments

    García.

    Systems Engineer Mariano Rodriguez asserts that the software "provides the user the ability for synthing songs only

    writting the lyrics and melody". Japanese company was looking for selling to the general public market and then is

    when in 2007 Miku was born.

    In the syntesize of adigital voice, with a preteen body, made by japanese artist Key, and a innocent personality"

    Adds García. this features have turn all this Vocaloids in virtual idols that make some fans fall in love.

    "The chance of falling in love with an "idoru", an electronic creation, could become, in a not far future, something

    considered normal. In our days, real and virtual begin to mix" writes Sociologist Silvia Nieto on her publication

    Virual Stars.
    Miku Hatsune has published 10 CDs in various styules, like pop-tecno, ballad and even polka. Since year 2088 exists

    collectable figures, postals, books and clothes. There alse are games, Like hatsune Miku: Proyect Diva, where the player is some kind of manager of this virtual star. By the end of macrh, current year, her fans could assist to the first concert from a virtual character in Tokyo, which sold 2.500 tickets.

    Meanwhile there are lots who asserts that it isn´t entirely true, because Gorillaz had already given a concert with that feature, Miku's character is the first having it own virtual voice, instead Gorillaz presents voices from real artist, included vocalist from britpop band Blur

    Idols are a important part of japanese society, and the idea of virtual idols has provided the ability to perpetuate them in time, because they don't get aged nor get tired of giving concerts.

    Ok, Here i made some-kind of a translation.
    (This isn't perfect and made on-the-go, so don't be to harsh on me, thanks ^^)

    Miku Hatsune is an idol artist in Japan. This means, she’s a pop star followed by millions of youngsters, and she borrows her voice for musical themes of animated series. She dresses her up with astonishing costumes and has a particularly acute voice. Selling millions in merchandising, filling up enormous coliseums for her concerts and thousands would love to met her, touch her and even hug her.
    The problem relays in this being impossible. It doesn’t matter how much her fans would like to have some kind of contact with her, they will never be, because Miku Hatsune doesn’t exist in the real world. This is known as a Vocaloid, a virtual idol.
    Victor Garcia is an otaku (name given to the fanatic of Japanese animation) Guayaquileño (http://bit.ly/dvVGZL). He has been following really closely the “vocaloid” effect and he explains this is a software created for making a synthesis of voice with the ability of “singing”. “It was developed by Yamaha and synthesizes songs just by writing the lyrics and the melody”, Garcia explains.
    Mariano Rodriguez, a Systems Engineer, affirms that the software “allows the user the ability to synthesize songs by just writing lyrics and the melody”. The Japanese company was looking a way to publicize it to the general public, and that’s how in 2007 Miku was born.
    “The possibility to fall in love with a (male or female) idol, a electronic creation, can become, in a not-so-long-future, as being considered as something normal. In our days, what’s real an what’s virtual starts to mix”, expresses in the publishing Estrellas Virtuales (Virtual Stars) Silva Nieto, sociologist. Miku Hatsune has published 10 albums in a wide variety of styles, like pop techno, romantic ballads and even polkas. Since 2008 have existed collective figures, postcards, books and underwear. There’s also videogames, like Hatsune Miku: Project Diva, where the user is some kind of a manager of this virtual star. By the ends of [this year] March, her fans could assist to the first concert of a Virtual Character in Tokyo, where the sales for the entrance summed up to 2500 tickets.
    Although there are lots who assure this isn’t quite true, as Gorillaz has already given this kind of spectacle, Miku’s character is the first one to have her own virtual voice, while Gorillaz represents the voices of real artist, including the vocalist of the Britpop Blur band.
    The idols are an important part of Japanese society and the idea of virtual idosl has facilitated the ability to perpetuate them in time, as they doesn’t grow old nor they get tired of giving concerts.
    Miku Hatsune
    Age: 16 years old
    Height: 5.18 ft
    Weight: 92.5 pounds
    Created: August 31 2007
    Her name comes from Hatsu (first), Ne (sound) and Miku (future). The first sound of the future.

    In South america, 97% of the countries speak spanish. However, we all have very little differences in our words and accents. Some words mean other stuff in other countries, but we have the same core.

    It's kinda like USA English and GB English, same core language with a few differences.

    Formal Spanish from Latinoamerica is not very different from Spain's... Just the accent is different and, of course, some words or modisms (don't know if that's the word in english to describe it)...
