Hatsune Miku has recently “starred” alongside R&B artist Pharrell Williams in a new music video, marking Miku’s latest mainstream US triumph – and serving as yet another stepping stone in the virtual diva’s quest for world domination.
The music video showcases Miku, Pharrel Williams and Livetune dancing to a remixed version of “Last Night, Good Night” (originally composed by Livetune) as illustrated by contemporary artist Takashi Murakami.
The music video:
The original song in comparison:
While not the first instance of Miku appearing with mere humans, an appearance with a top tier US R&B artist is likely an important first, more so with her impending collaboration with reigning queen of US pop Lady Gaga.

Blech, the original is such a beautiful song, the remix on the other hand is pure crap. The mood of the song is destroyed and because of that Miku's vocals seem completely out of place.
Agreed. The original song was serene and flowed elegantly. The remix seems to be intended to have a very "chilled out" vibe, but it just didn't really work in my opinion. Came out just a messy mix of a conflicting melody and beat, with vocals that just come across as squeaky and out of place.
Could have at least picked a more suitable song for mixing in the style he was going for surely?
Agreed 2: But the remix video looks better... but really cant listen to it.
Want to hear a good remix?

To those who are not fans of Vocaloid, the remix truly sucks.
He could have just used "Spinal Fluid Explosion Girl" or "This is the Happiness and Peace of Mind Committee"

i like the beat. not digging her voice
THATS WHAT THEY CALL REMIX, YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT REMIX, i'VE HEARD ALOT OF REMIX BAD ENOUGH TO MAKE ONE COMMIT SUICIDE AND THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT BAD IN ANYWAY, iTS ONE OF THE BEST REMIX i ever heard.
> the original is such a beautiful song
Really?
I've never understood why people like Hatsune Miku songs so much. I love her character designs, but I've always found the tracks of her atrocious.
I think Vocaloids are amazing tech, but the singing from them still sounds like complete shit.
Have you listened to "Finder" or "Packaged"? Two songs that could NOT sound so good if it was NOT Hatsune Miku.
Well musical tastes vary, and it's not like all vocaloid songs sound good. Most probably don't to most people. Even I only like a few out of the countless number that exist.
Congratulations, my friend! All weeaboos on this site are counting on you, you are their champion!
Stand up and defend the virtue of the non-music queen of you elevens, from the brute invader who comes from Britannia, and tries to contaminate and spoil her irreparably.
DIE TO BRITANNIA !!!
Congratulations to you as well Light Yagami all those who don't know proper English look up to you! Remain blessed in your ignorance about how to word things properly.
Hey Idiot ?
Did you forgot I am Japanese, and we must mangle your language as much as we like to mock you ?
Is heavy breathing what he considers a "remix"?
Regardless, Hatsune Miku with peek-a-boo bangs is hella cute.
Exactly my thoughts, this remix is BS, tho Miku is ultra cute.
No need to say im outraged at this guy and his remix
@Palmtop Tiger
suck cocks in hell bitch
>:)
I agree. Not a fan of the remix, but Miku did look adorable *faints*
damn where is the like button
If anyone knows of a remix of something that is worth a damn, please let me know. I've yet to be introduced to one. And not a 'new artist rendition of an old song' but a real remix. This is probably the only one I've heard that adds something to the original in an interesting way recently.

Even then it's not really something that is standalone awesome.
Most "anime lovers" won't like this, or any R&B for that matter. They're all obsessed with J-pop, Rock, etc. Btw the 1st Eureka Seven OP will forever be the king of soul in anime OST's
uhhh, pretty much every major song in the past 40 years has been in some regards a remix of something else. Go watch "Everything is a Remix".
Though you probably don't listen to much electronic music or Hip Hop, which are entirely based on the act of remixing. When a Electronic track is released, it's generally released with 2-5 remixes, which generally add too/eclipse the original.
finally, someone with SENSE!!
what are you talking about? most comments agree its crap.
Try the album Unhappy Refrain. It's a Vocaloid album centred round Miku, and I actually prefer the remixed versions to the original.
NO ITS NOT, its only crap to LOLICONS!!
original = classic! <3
shit remix is shit
I honestly think that last night good night is not the song for this guy, I am just saying maybe he would have done better with a more livelier song. In summary nice pv but the song is out of place nice try though. The original is easy better.
compared to the original song, this is really boring and completely unfitting.
Well i thought it was cute very colorful and such but! i dont really like pharrell -.- but miku sure is beautiful in this video =D !!
lol u mad, weeaboo?
saying weeaboo on a site that's pretty much based on japanese anime.. what an idiot I GOT A QUESTION WHY ARE YOU ON HERE! LOL
hahahahah nice one
Really liked the model and dancing, but I honestly didn't like the remix. It just didn't mix very well with the song, maybe he should have picked a less somber song than last night, good night
I agree with you. Something like the song yellow or over16bit should match his style though.but yeah the models are nice just the style of the song is out of place.
I like seeing all the morons scream weeaboo just because someone thinks a song is crap. Is someone not allowed to think something is crap? If that's the case what names do we have for all the asians who like that garbage Lady Gaga sings or dye thier hair blonde like a white person? Just saying...think before you speak and call people names for something stupid.
Miku looks awesome, I like the original song better though ... it's just crap
looks like a standard mmd with a gay xbox avatar.
miku is really sexy in this clip what the
I like how Miku looked in the remix and those sassy moves. HAHAHA
I was expecting him to actually sing something. WTF even place his avatar in the fricken video if he's just gonna wave his hands???
Look at all the weaboos getting mad.
MAN, I'M LOVING THIS VIDEO, hahahahahaaaa, I'd love to see the looks on moe FANS, TO SEE THEIR QUEEN BEING SEXUALISED!!
YOU KNOW PHARELL, AINT NO PHARELL WITHOUT CURVY BABES AROUND, AND NOW HE'S GOT MIKU, TUMBS UP TO PHARELL.
anon 06:54 19/05/2014 the joke's on you, miku has always been sexualised over the years by otakus
tell that to master GOOGLE

So Pharrell is a R&B artist now? Fucking EL-OH-EL
The song isn't so bad. Catchy, and cute. The original is better, but this remix isn't shit. That Miku and video is glorious!
Thats your opinion. And my Opinion is its shit. Deal with it
biggest of weeaboo, it only bad to MOE AND LOLICONS, not bad at all to HIP HOP AND FANS WHO KNOW WHAT HIP-HOP REMIX ARE ABOUT.
aaaaand we don't care about it =)
"Thats your opinion"
^
that's baby talk mister
^weeaboo
^in the closet weeaboo
It honestly wasn't too bad. The video was cute enough. I'm not really too into Miku or Williams but this wasn't bad. It wasn't great either. You wee boos need to quit raising a stink about it. Acting like it violates a religous icon or some sh** like that ffs.
