Didn't realize this was brand new when I bought it on Saturday (looking for preroll music for a livestream that ended up not happening).

Problem is, it's terrible. Or, more accurately, it's inaudible. I can kind of make out the chorus as "something something my heart / something else something else my heart" and that's about it. I've always assumed that Miku actually sounded good in Japanese - what with the predictable syllables and all - but perhaps I've been wrong all this time? Nah, it's gotta be better in Japanese than this.

Haven't heard the English version, but the original is very good.

That's the Google Chrome commercial.

I always imagined an english version of it would be terrible. I ordered this album from CD Japan too Sad hopefully not all the tracks are bad, Livetune is one of my favorite Vocaloid producers. He recently released a remix of "Spectrum" on Clarity by ZEDD. On the japan version of the album. It used the english voice bank and I liked it alot.

Hey now this is exciting!!! "Tell your world" in my opinion is the best song Miku has released in years, (well maybe since Chaining Intention), and it getting a release in my native language, shew, I hope my iPad allows me to listen to music because I'll be buying this, of course, if I can find it in Japanese then I'll be buying that instead, Miku is clearly way better at singing in Japanese than in English, although her voice in the English dub for "Po pi Po" was cute, I'll still buy the Japanese dubs over the english ones.

To clarify: I bought the original when it came out early last year, and it is a great Miku song.

What English? All I heard was gibberish. The English bank needs a lot of work there if they plan to continue with English releases.

that gibberish is called Engrish. Idolm@ster does it too. However I do agree with you. It needs much work for it to be considered English and not Engrish

...is this even Miku's english voice bank? Because the voice doesnt sound like Miku at all to me. It sounds like an UTAU or something.
I also cant understand a single thing she says except 'your heart'.
