voice of the future

This is a nice video about some Japanese dude drawing up Hatsune Miku from Vocaloid 2. If you're wondering, he's using a drawing program called SAI which is pretty popular in Japan. His skills are awesome!! Just click the play button and you'll see the awesomeness of his godly hands. >.<
BTW, the voice singing in the background is Hatsune Miku, the green haired girl he's drawing. And who/what the hell is Hatsune Miku? She's a Vocaloid.. And what is a Vocaloid? It's this insane singing synthesizer application software developed by Yamaha where you just put in the lyrics and the melody then Hatsune Miku will sing it. And Hatsune Miku is not a real person. She's just like a virtual representation of the voice. Hatsune Miku means "voice of the future" or something like that. The somewhat creepy thing about this is that many users of Vocaloid began to create 3D animations of the character that dances, sings, etc. Why creepy? Given the obsession of the Japanese to create humanoid robots, what if one day a Hatsune Miku android just suddenly appear? Hehehe.. It's not like I don't like it but it would certainly surprise me to see someone with that outrageously long yet cute green hair dancing and singing around. ^_^
Anyway.. enjoy the vid..

ja ne~
