Hatsune Miku fans are viewing Toyota’s ongoing stream of Miku-related marketing with increasing bewilderment and more than a little outrage, not least at the sight of her Toyota induced obsession with bacon-wrapped hotdogs.
The latest commercials:
Most viewers seem increasingly dissatisfied their beloved holographic princess is being reduced to a crudely modelled junk-food obsessed mascot for entry-level Toyota automobiles:
“Are they trying to ruin Miku’s image?”
“OPPOSE THIS. OPPOSE IT. Otherwise you’re also to blame. CRUCIFY THOSE BEHIND THE RAPE OF MIKU AND OTAKU CULTURE.”
“I DONT LIKED , i love hatsune miku but this comercial is horrible”
“A typical commercial American girl from los angeles superficial and ridiculous, poor Miku Hatsune u_u
Fuck Off!! Businessmen of Toyota”
“Miku likes bacon wrapped hotdogs? I call bullshit on that. *facedesks* This, and the “chitchat” are the worst videos they made >.> Common Toyota, no American pride on this one!”
“I fail to see how Miku, Toyota, and Hotdogs relate to each other. Nice job creating a clusterfuck of retarded ads, Toyota.”
“Just stop the crap. It’s stupid, isn’t funny, and is turning people away from Miku. No one likes this crap. The render looks horrible and you’re beating the Miku boat to death. Oh, her name isn’t pronounced HOT-SU-NAY MEE-KOO.”
“WOW… HOW CAN THEY DO THIS TO THE QUEEN OF J-POP?!?!?!
OMG, FUCK YOU TOYOTA! YOUR CARS TAMBIEN!
(dont get me wrong, I’m a big big big vocaloid fan, but this just went waaaaayyy too far…) I’m disappointed… -__-”
“… Sigh. At least put the effort into making the model look good. Shit looks like it was made of plasticine.”
“Okay, I honestly do not know why they decided Bacon Hotdog would be a better idea over a Onion Leek, which by the way is her FUCKING CHARACTER ITEM TOYOTA!!!”
“Stop trying to Americanize Miku, there is no way Miku eats bacon wrapped hotdogs, she would be 300 pounds overweight like the rest of fat ass America if she did.”
The scepticism of Japanese fans seems to echo that of western fans:
“What the hell kind of CM is this?”
“US Toyota just wants to push the Corolla… Miku is just there as a sponsor, isn’t she?”
“It’s an image ad, not a product ad. Miku is just the image character. In a year they’ll have a new one.”
“Toyota’s Miku videos are pretty gross. This is 5pb all over again. They think as long as it’s Miku they can get away with anything.”
“Bacon-wrapped hotdogs really do exist it seems…”
“Why aren’t they using Sega’s model? This ugly Miku they keep using is only going to wreck their image. Give it a rest, Toyota!”
“They’d have to pay Sega for their Miku so they are just being cheap.”
“Honestly they are overdoing things with putting Miku into all these ads for reason.”
“Toyota’s use of Miku doesn’t look likely to be a success. It seems the US Miku fan demographic doesn’t match up very well with the demographic of Corolla buyers.”
“It looks as if most of the hardcore Miku fans over there don’t like these ads at all.”
“Why on earth does she like bacon wrapped hotdogs?”
“It’s incomprehensible isn’t it?”
“Toyota Miku seems to be a bit retarded really…”
“At least Toyota Miku can’t get fat off eating them.”
“She should be eating negi-dogs.”
“Sega vs Toyota:”
“They are pretty different… seems the Americans just can’t a hang of the subtle things.”
“Looks like they just copied Sega Miku and then fiddled with the model a bit.”
“They don’t have a clue how to use moe elements.”

Americanization and commercialization.
The two biggest evils of our time, according to the otakus.
Used to be called CocaCola Imperialism back in the old days.
According to everyone really. And not just on Miku.
Americanization of the video game industry nearly killed off JRPGs. With Americans saying they were behind the times and were too story driven(not enough freedom). Then came FF13 that fell into this trap and we all know what happened. It was half the FF game from its predecessors.
American influence gave birth to censors in anime/Jporn.
Toyota is a Japanese company, so I have no idea what the hell these people are talking about...
Yeah, I agree with you, besides, those commercials are funny and cute (in my opinion).
Agreed, this is clearly Toyota's main headquarters in Japans fault.
They might not have made the ad, but they more than likely sent Toyota America a memo saying "This is Miku, she's popular, use her in an ad." Without any context about who or what she is. You can't really blame some old guys for fucking it up when they don't understand the character in the first place.
I really don't know how in the world they thought talking about Bacon wrapped hotdogs (which sounds disgusting by the way) for an entire 25 seconds of a 28 second ad would promote car sales though.
American branch?
I wonder if they'd ever do this in the UK?
I'd like to see an irish accent on miku.
in UK Miku be ginger
For the UK they should use Miki since she's already a red head.
Then it would be a fish and chips takeaway. Ad-men assholes are the same the world over.
/facepalm at these fanboys. Don't bother wondering why everyone else looks down on weeaboo and otaku, just look at these ridiculous complaints. There's not much more to be said.
WTF Miku looks creepy...
Its american version of her xD. the MOE was taken out
i blame the moe haters.. you bastards know who you are..
Is it just me, or does she look like she has Down Syndrome?
HA, I love the outrage about this.
They act as though pop idols don't get used for commercialization all the damn time.
Where is your Sharon Apple now?
It starting to spread slowly. American Miku commercials. Miku English voice bank. Im afraid wats next...
Official porn! That's all I need to complete my collection.
Toyata should just fuck off...srsly =A=
Damn americans always having to add 'fatty people' food to make it attractive.
lulz You funny.
this thing is Shit, how can the turn the queen of J-POP into a argggggg i cant say that i dant have word for what have they done argggggg
These adds make me want bacon wrapped hotdogs rather than a toyota...
Its starting to spread slowly. Miku in US commercials. Changing her fav from leeks to hotdogs. English voice bank. Whats next?! negi green to red/white/blue??
Miku's conquest is going slightly off track... >.<
A minor set I'm sure of it :3 *crosses fingers*
Keep telling yourself that. Maybe you'll eventually believe it. You and the other Mikutards out there.
Admit it, your "goddess" is nothing more than a commercial whore.
WTF? Do they really think they are going to sell cars with this retarded shit...fucking the worse ads I've ever seen...
worst even
(°д°)
Remember the quizno's subs ad with the dead rat looking things. Think that was worse.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZrks-BPeLQ
Now that's a bad ad! But I laughed!
It's bad but I seen worse.
Yo, dawg, we herd you liek dogs, so we put bacon around your dogs so you can eat while you eat.
Uh oh, hotdog!
Bacon wrapped hotdogs? Really, Toyota?
These Miku ads just get worse and worse. How much longer until Toyota stops raping her image?
It's all about the money.. big companies will do -anything-.
What's wrong with bacon wrapped hot dogs??? Fried pork wrapped around steamed pork. That's pork x2, pork², pork + pork.
Miku remember. Everything in moderation. A fat Miku would be no good.
Pork*2 = pork+pork. Pork^2 would be pork*pork. A pork^2 would be something like full pork filled pork. Or something.
oh man.. the babies are suffering about animes/mangas and their oversized eyes~.. but they make it themself bigger u_u".. and wtf is with her mouth?..

well about: “Are they trying to ruin Miku’s image?” .. no they are just "translating it" .. like they are ruining the most other products from japan.. u_u..
btw: since then has she been loving hot dogs?
Firtst Hirano Aya and no Hatsune Miku.... what's next?
Firtst Hirano Aya and now Hatsune Miku.... what's next?
fixed my own post before someone else did.
But you still mis-spelled "first".
Nasty.
If anything Miku should only sponsor Yamaha.
Those commercials are horrible. Even without Miku they would be crap but with her its even more crap. Her model looks ugly and did you check her fingers, super long. If they made a better model and more though out ads then it'd be fine. Seriously bacon wrapped hotdog, I could never imagine Miku or any Japanese in general being ecstatic over a hotdog. Props though for trying something new.
Funny how the only way of making Miku more American was by adding sickening food to the adverts and hiring some reject actors to pretend they know about Miku. These adverts are insufferable. Should let the fans decide what is in the adverts, after all the fans know Miku best.
I wouldn't be sure of that
A classmate of mine who thinks himself a fan said Miku's voice is completely artificial. Fucking tool. I imagine there's lots of people like that in America.
Holy fuck, American Miku looks like a fucking alien. That's so off-putting.
Seriously Toyota look up Lat Miku and use that model from now on. Hell just make the damn commercials in MMD and they would be a thousand times better.
