UK music and fashion rag Clash has featured holographic princess Hatsune Miku on its cover, but it is hard to see many fans being pleased with its choice of cover image, nor its unflattering description of her.
The cover:
Apparently the editors felt its (admittedly meagre) subscribership was unable to stomach anything less than the full guro cosplay ensemble seen above.
As if this were not bad enough, Clash goes on to call her “slutty”:
She’s super cute: baby doll smile, impossibly tiny waist, a Rapunzelian pair of aquamarine pig tails, and a wardrobe just slutty enough for it to still be okay.
Sixteen-years-old, 5’2’’, 93lbs. Her voice has been featured on gold records, she’s performed live to crowds of over 25,000 ecstatic fans, she even has her own video game, Project Diva, by Sega.
By all means Miku is one of the biggest pop icons in the world. Strangely though, she doesn’t really exist.
[…]
What’s fascinating about Hatsune Miku, however, is that her appeal is becoming widespread.
Possibly the rag would be better served by sticking to its usual fare of aging rockers and poseur gangsters.

This comes as no surprise.
Otaku culture is seen as so weird and marginal in the UK that even an image as ugly as that is more acceptable than the real Miku.
lol "real miku".
U delusional tw@t.
This is how the cover should look like

If only they had a Sankaku Complex reader on their staff!
@♦ Diamond Dust ♦,so totally agree with ya
and that would help?
they clearly chose the most atrocious picture they could find
in fact, i doubt they found it
might as well be their own initiative
quite in line with the prevalent slutty pop scene
but in their defence - miku is whatever you want her to be, so at least we know what their taste is
Last I checked, all of Hatsune Miku save for her voice belongs to Crypton. You can make the vocaloid engine sing whatever you want, but if you want to use her face and name, you need their permission.
Clearly they are "misinforming" the people of what Miku really looks like. They should have totally gone for official press images or art that actually portrayed Miku, not some horrid abomination that will surely give me nightmares tonight.
They need better cosplayers...
they need a better employer
Calls Miku slutty and show that (wtf is that I don't even...)face,WTF
Just........no

Miku
I dunno, but "the usual fare of aging rockers" suits me just fine. I'm listening for the music after all, not for the posing teens
I know right? seems like every news station, magazine and web-blog is bashing miku.
I gotta ask, why all the hate guys? is JAPIMATION not classy enough for it to be successful?
My eyes~!!!!!!!!!!! I think I've gone blind, please someone show me the light.. ;A;
here's "the light"

I see what you did dar
What kind of TRAVESTY is this!
They are trying to ruin Miku by putting her name next to that monster! D:
Someone find out if the Gorillaz had ever had a cover shot on that mag and if anyone dressed like them
Now that's awesome. I'm afraid to go to sleep now, because that "thing" will hunt me down.
Why couldn't something good have happened like the last time something from Japan got popular, oh right...
HAHAHA ROFL!
my toughts exactly!
Their doing it wrong...all fucking wrong.
lol, this is what they get for wanting to make Miku more accessible.
Just wait till the English version of the software is out and every twat in the west can turn her into a superslut with vocals to match.
I'm dreading that so much. It's going to be awful. :|
It'll be interesting, at least.
eeeeeeewwwwwww
i´ll hate that "english crappy version"
the english version is out,
vocaloid2 was made by yamaha
you must only rewrite the bincode .jap.exe (i forgot the realy name of the dll data)
and the program will be in english.
even if the program will be in english, it will not change alot of the programm.
ok to the socond thing you write:
i'm from germany and heard nothing about till today about hatsune miku.
I hope the time will come beacause in italy (my homeland)was hatsune miku showed in tv...
i hope nobody will make with hatsune miku songs like a song with the title gangbang tonight.
but i think this ore another thing will hapen,
good the album will ever made in japan!!
he meant the english vocals
With a bit of luck they won't be able to have "slutty" songs if they name Miku as the singer. Crypton Media are very strict about what Vocaloids are commercially allowed to say or sing. Hopefully her innocence will be preserved.
Because the real Japanese Miku isn't slutty at all...
I wonder what this chan.sankakucomplex.com is for?
OH GOD THE HORROR.
yeah cuz lady sovereign is an ideal rolemodel right?
you're just jealous of miku's overwhelming fanbase which makes your rag look like a local community paper, faggots
She is slutty though. I don't know to many girls with that short of a skirt on a regular basis.
That picture's one of the worst representations of Miku they could have done.
Whoever's idea this was, they need to be leek probed.
Whoever's idea this was, they need to be leek probed till guro'ed /fixed/
This is just... wrong
It's pig disgusting that's what it is.
So true. Please someone.. Kill it!! Quick!
"Kill it with fire.", isn't it? I understand it.
Nobody wants ugly black women, weeabos or normal. Period.
or Nordic, they too are as white as what I'm typing on, almost as pale as the usual shopped artefact articles of anti-jap shameless bitches from the godless lands of awkwardness
yes weeaboos love their Celtic colored miku
A CLASH of preferences is what this is!
ARGH MY RETINAS...
SHE DOES EXIST ;_;
I wish them death in flames.
what part of this fugly bitch is super cute and baby doll smile?
No one calls Miku slutty!
And they should've gotten a better model, if not the 2D version will do just fine~
Yeah I could look past the whole horrible depiction and whatnot.. but they had to call her outfit slutty didn't they? what a bunch of prick's. They obviously have no idea what they're talking about..
Her innocence is her charm!
USE THE FORCE, LUKE!! ITS JABBA THE SLUT!!
