Prime minister Shinzo Abe has announced his desire to spread the influence of virtual diva Hatsune Miku throughout the world, a sentiment no doubt shared by otaku and surprising few considering the minister’s antics during the 2016 Olympic’s concluding ceremony…
Minister Abe shared this news during a recent meeting, mentioning that he intends to spread not only Hatsune Miku but manga, literature, anime and other forms of Japanese culture to the rest of the world, things which western anime fans clearly approve of and that even Barack Obama is thankful for.
A video depicting Abe’s otaku-pandering:
A special project has been scheduled to help make Abe’s dream a reality entitled “Japonisme 2018” (though what this means for “Cool Japan” is not clear), where Japan will utilize its rich culture to heighten its presence in the world – starting with France, in celebration of their “160th anniversary of friendly relations” with the nation.
Well the Tokyo Olympics ARE coming…
Wait, wasn’t this the guy that only a few years ago said Otaku need to put down their anime and go get girlfriends, stop being losers etc?
You got that right, and he is as crooked and corrupted as they comes, for Japanese standard. Asides from all the other shats he is starting or stirring up domestically and on the foreign front.
Taro Aso was the one and only true otaku PM, for now.
Not sure if he said that, but if so, then he wants Japanese otaku to produce more slaves for the state — er, I mean, more children for the future of Japan.
Foreign otaku who buy anime and related items, thus pumping money into Japan’s economy and at the same time failing to reproduce in their stinking foreigner countries, he’s okay with that.
I think this has something to do with when Obama praise Japan for anime… after that his attitude kinda changes.
He probably realised one day Anime is the perfect medium to keep the Japanese population docile whilst he transforms Japan into a right wing nationalistic regime.
David Letterman have already invited Miku Hatsune on his show long time ago.
The future of mankind isn’t as bad as I thought initially :3.
It’s things like Miku that keep me from holing up in a rented shack in Montana to develop a supervirus with which to eradicate the entire human race.
Hatsune Miku has already saved your life.
Starting in France?
That won’t end well the french will take this as attack upon their french cultural values and ban miku. lol
Or, maybe Miku and Ed Banger Records will make
an out of the blue collab album that will sell billions.
Just imagine, if you will, Hatsune Miku performing
side by side with artists like Busy P, Uffie, SebastiAn, Justice, and Mr. Oizo, just to name a few.
Plus, Mr. Oizo’s got the rights to Flat Eric. Imagine a skit with Flat Eric and Miku meeting for the first time! How unorthodox would THAT be!? 😀
I’m sure SOMEONE here would want in on this idea, right?…r-right guys? ^_^;
