(Part 2) Top products from r/VOCALOID

I also went to the Miku Expo last year in Dallas, TX.

It was amazing! I drove ~5 hours to get to it.. and it was worth it and so much more.

I'm not a very excitable person, and I'm a bit older (30). Honestly, I didn't really expect it to be great.. but I LOVE Miku to pieces, and expected to have a good time.. but I was blown away. (Quite literally, please do get yourself some isolating earplugs! I couldn't even hear the mids it was so loud.)

The visuals were great, and clean and crisp.. I'd say better than the professional videos. The videos just don't capture how good it looks "in person". The accompanying band was great.. and really.. my only problem is that I liked it too much and want another to go to. :)

I hope one comes to a place near you! I'm sure you will enjoy it!

I am planning to go with something like this.

Buy it at Amazon

With this, the user would be more inclined to check out the songs individually first, then the entire album. The logic behind this is that the person would check out to see if the album is worth listening to by listening to the "choice picks" before diving into the album. Moreover, I believe that people who would pirate a song would pirate regardless, if it is by song or entire albums. However, if the goal is to get people interested in an artist, I think that spreading the artist's work is the number one priority. It is always up to the user if they decide to pirate or purchase the songs/albums, and that linking songs only will not deter pirates. Of course, there will be a purchase link to remind people, but if a producer's work is worth purchasing, then there will be people who are willing to buy the album.

I think that it is better to get a person interested into a certain producer, and letting them decide for themselves if they are willing to purchase the song/album or pirating it.

http://www.textfugu.com/menu/ This website is pretty great for beginners. Its got good structure and the first "season" is free which will teach you hiragana and the basics of the language. Katakana used to be free too but I guess he changed it. I own a lifetime membership but I've long since finished whats available there. It will take you to about intermediate level if you finish the whole thing which can take a few months. I still jump back in and go over the things hes changed and the lessons hes added whenever I can.

This book series is also great, but its a little more detatched and really throws you right into the language, the first in the series teaches mostly survival Japanese and the next 2 really get into the meat of the language. I'm about 3/4ths through the second one.

You might have better luck using the Rakuten market, and have them ship it to you direct from Japan. It would probably be faster, too.

Here's a search for the Miku software I did on Rakuten's Global Marketplace

It might be cheaper through them, shipped direct to you. Rakuten's a big company in Japan, but keep in mind that the individual sellers are stores that are not affiliated with Rakuten, but sell on Rakuten. (Just like random guy selling to you from Amazon.)

Or you could order through Miku V2 and Append V2 from Amazon.co.jp and have them ship it through Tenso. (Amazon.co.jp won't ship software outside of Japan, but they will ship to Tenso, who can ship to you.) Either way would probably be faster.

One of my favorite Luka songs!

Edit: You can buy it on Itunes here or on Amazon Mp3.

Otetsu is signed on to the Karen-T label which makes it a bit easier to buy his music.

There are little dolls called Nendoroids that he might like. Something like this. I'd make sure (s)he's interested in them first. I'm a big Vocaloid fan, but I'm not into any of the non-music stuff at all.

Thanks! After hearing the song I bought the album on Amazon and it still didn't have the proper name. I was able to get a rough translation of the lyrics from the wiki article (the miku one, not the circumpolar star one - which I admit I had already looked at after hearing the song for the first time :D).

nice! You should check out the Luka scroll as well. I have them both and couldn't be happier :D

Yes, nothing wrong with CDJapan. I've bought CDs there many times.

This time I used Amazon Japan though, because they're over 3000 yen cheaper.

Both were from Amazon.

The keychain was $10...though, it seems it went down in price to $7.

The album was $31.

I was 26. Bought this compilation CD in early November 2008, but didn't connect the dots until Japan Probe blogged about this TV Asahi report on Mar 29, 2009 - incidentally enough - a full year before JAXA's Hayabusa probe returned to Earth.

Yeah, nah. I have the Miku sitting in front of me right now on my desk. I like it, I don't regret buying it, but it is ugly as sin. It is mainly the big soulless bug eyes that make it disturbing. That and the mass produced nature can lead to poor QC on the paint job. I've seen some really dodgy pop vinyls, but thankfully my Miku is not one of them.

But back to the main point, you cannot deny that she is ugly. She is almost pullip levels of disturbing. Almost.
