Who is Miku Hatsune?
Two condoms topics from the world. One is "the longest chain of condoms in the world" and another is "Indian Condom song," crazy one :-).
Cute!! Gruesome Doll Head Pencil Sharpener. I want it!
I like this news. The Defense Agency will have "Self defense technology symposium 2007" on November 7th. Someone found a very interesting subject of their study: it's "make efforts for GUNDAM." Here is the evidence, that's a copy of the program of the symposium. Yeah!!! Japan will have Gundams and protect our country by Beam Saber!! I am sure Japanese robot technology will make it true.
This is interesting: Know your real character from the signs hidden within your brain. "U SA U SA." My type was U.U. girl. Rash, reckless challenger type. That's me. :-p
Do you know the Japanese Vocaloid "Miku Hatsune"? Although the package looks very much like an otaku tool though, I read it's a very good quality program. Here is the result of Miku Hatsune on youtube. Listen to this one, see? Very good quality. Then this is funny, some use Miku on an old PC-6001mkII (1983 by NEC), and it sounds like old Techno. Cool! By the way, she became a victim of censorship by Google and her images were all deleted on Yahoo Japan too. It was a pretty big topic.
Yes miku is very cute I wish they would make freedom gundam that did this kind of thing.

Hey, a question not related to your post: do you know that last saturday there was the Yamanote Halloween Party? What do you think about it?
I checked you blog and once you talked about the Halloween people do in the Loop line in Osaka, this is the Tokyo version.
See ya.

I heard that the mobile forklift-suit thingy that Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) used to fight the alien at the end of the movie Aliens (1986) really does exist and is in use. Would that thing be considered a form of "Gundam?"

The idea of a real gundam is very exciting. But after reading the article, I tend to agree with the first thought, that the symposium is really just going to talk about powered armor.
Still, I believe that the Japanese will eventually build something like a gundam.

Cool personality test, Mari. Mine was U.SA. "Strict and just, brotherly type". hmm.

Hey Mari,
I doubt the PC-6001mkII or any computer of that era could run any version of the vocaloid software. I think for that video they were just using old film/video footage. But I could be wrong...
BTW, do you know who does the music for that?
Anyway, I've heard some really impressive uses of the vocaloid soft. I think it would be good for me because I can't sing at all!
Jeff
