Funny thing is that the box of the japanese V3 version looks better.
Dunno dude. I think Kaito is posing as Miku in this one
now thats GOLD!
Seriously! It looks like a male Miku!
The hips are small, the shoulders are wide and the fingers don't look "delicate".
While that does explain everything, someone out there would still tap that.
Actually found out that Miku's 6th birthday is going to be August 31st with a "Miku's Magical Mirai" in LA and NYC for an afternoon and evening concert.
Of course it does, its Japanese after all..-_- -Taylor
They should have used the 1st or 2nd version of Miku from MikuMikudance for this. Yah thats not miku.
Grown-up Miku. I think, this illustration would've fit Dark and Solid appends much better than any other. But, sadly, it is for eng Miku only, and her English demos have a lighter tone than her original voicebank. Backwards Iroha.
$149 is a bit steep.
149 isn't that much when you consider how much other virtual instruments cost. Consider that Vienna Symphonic full is 4.5k euro. a single instrument costs you somewhere around the same. Music is expensive, man.
Vienna Symphonic is the shit, though. Takes me fucking ages to work with it, but the results are incredible. And DAT ORGAN, it's like an asthmatic dragon. I really must do Saint-Saens' Organ Symphony with it one day, it would be perfect.
which is Why I'm buying 5 copies and selling them for DOUBLE on e-bay! those weaboos'll neveeer seee me come'n~
Looking kinda manface there Miku.
Norio Wakamoto vocaloid next please
Definitely. Or Isao Sasaki.
or Tomokazu Sugita/Daisuke Ono

Not liking the Western Miku much. zero cuteness
she looks like a crossdressing dude
You talk like that would be a bad thing.
;)
100% epicness.
Agreed. The west has no care for cute things unfortunately. If it is not sexy or macho then it will not sell.
The west is too tsundere to show cute Miku
There is but only for ages 10 and under...
Well I hate Miku in general so Ill be biased on ANY style shes in.
So is this a "Western Miku" or a generally new Miku?
I have to say that she looks like shit... reminds me of those crappy girls on the boxes of graphics cards.
My biggest complaint has to be the face, looks like a guy's -_- Before someone flames me, just focus on the face and cover the rest of her... focus, focus... focus, focus... IT'S A GUY! Now uncover the rest... IT'S A TRAP!
Well, apart from Miku's new crappy design... I don't care. It's nice that people from the West will be able to produce vocaloid music. The huge number of crappy titles on the other hand could ruin the market.
BTW who voices Miku? Still the Japanese seiyuu or did they cast some American? New design + new seiyuu ain't Miku...
Inb4 shit-ton of crappy Western-chart-music-vocaloid-style
OMG.. this is gonna get weird.. im excited but a little scared at the sametime.. im wondering how she sounds in english... also DAT PRICE.. >.<; but yeah i don't even have words right now.. so shocked~
I'm even more scared of the hordes of talent-free weaboo wannabe-composers/producers that will undoubtedly flood Youtube with inhumanly crappy noise.
In Japan, mostly those with actual musical talent are doing Vocaloid songs, must be something cultural. Only do what you're good at and don't stick out negatively by sucking and stuff. Unfortunately there's a severe lack of such sentiments here.
I dunno. I think most of those songs start out on Nico, and only the really good ones make it to YouTube. Likewise, once someone commented on a Japanese cover of a Vocaloid song, something like "How come all of the Japanese Nico singers are so much better than the YouTube ones?" I've been on Nico. Along with the really good covers, there's plenty of mediocre ones, and ones I'd even call bad.
I don't find people who press the "play" button, given them samples, to actually have musical talent. Although people who record themselves playing a real instrument and then pressing the button is acceptable.
Also, $149 is it? That's a really good bargin. Just imagine how much Money you already spent on ona holes and figures.
Trololo t(^-^t)
Master this both and you master both worlds.
i.e :
Analogue -> Musician/Producer -> Recording directly using live instrument
Digital -> Engineer/Producer -> Recording directly using virtual instrument
Yeah, it's rather cheap compared to other software instruments.
Re: talent, Programming a synthesizer, even with the extreme convenience of a DAW, still takes musical talent. You have to be well-versed in theory of composition and harmony if you want to make really good music. Not to mention the knowledge in the field of electrical engineering (especially signal processing) you need if you want to properly produce your music. You do need a knack for all of these (i.e. talent) to apply them in a good-sounding and creative way.
The talent you're talking about is the manual skills required to play an acoustic or otherwise "analogue" instrument. That's related, but still a different thing. You certainly don't necessarily need this kind of talent to be a good composer or producer.
wait until you find out she's voiced by Erin Fitzgerald
Obviously you don't know SHIT about vocaloid, cause when Miku first came out, alot of her songs/vocals for songs were SO BAD that the people listening refused it was actually Miku and made up sub-versions of her to explain, Hence the existence of "Haku" and "Neru"....(it just so happens that even terribly BAD things can be made *Moe* in Japan....lets see if we can pull off the same with the english vocals,) LOL
22:25 and you don't know SHIT about reading a text. Where did I say anything about the quality of the voice synthesizing? Going on about composers, producers, musical talent etc I was obviously referring to the MUSIC that's being made for the Vocaloids you retarded dumbfuck.
Acaully... Miku isnt the first, Leon, Lola, Mariam, Maiko and Kaito were. Learn your vocaloids please

Who is the man on the cover and where is Miku?
I was just about to write this...
Yeah, that man does a reasonably good crossplay of Miku. Maybe the actual Miku called in sick for the ad photo shoot.
LOLs, it's a good crossdresser though.
Perhaps Kaito went all the way crossdress as Miku :3
That's looks like a guy cosplaying Miku
Eww that picture looks totally mannish, it's an abomination.
They gave her a more mature appearance I see. No super-deformed here. But her face still looks too masculine and needs to be more feminine.
it's a typical case of:
omg she isn't drawen PERFECTLY! shee.... got slightly manly what the fuck is that i dont want to learn because i am better of ranting.
old hag Miku version.
THAT PRICE!!!!! I Expected $199 at least, and $499 is even reasonable! SOLD!!!! But I want a boxed version... Will wait for info on it! WHAT A DAY!!!! WE GET PROJECT DIVA F AND ENGLISH MIKU!!!
it looks like one of Sharon Apple's amalgams.
Meh. Still don't know who this thing is and don't care.
Man I wish I can be this edgy.
