Now THIS is how you do an English Miku.
Also, mebae! I have one of his artbooks. Despite his over-emphasis on skimpy, revealing things, his art is pretty. And he's a PreCure fan, so... uh... yeah. PreCure influence is very obvious here. =P

Those two things and Murakami to get the name out even farther. They probably did it with money in mind, since it's an ad, but sometimes, money can birth great things when it's used on a group of people who have great, creative minds and can put them together. =3

"beauty is truth", but please plaster some cosmetics in your face and get transformed to be beautiful.

Even if it's ironic, this is some of the most unsettling imagery I've seen from anime in a long time.

You must have not seen very much of it then. Laughing

Livetune is KZ-Livetune one of the better mainstream Vocaloid producers credited with a few songs that helped rocket Hatsune Miku up the global ladder to stardom, like Packaged, Last Night Good Night, Light Song, Yellow, Strobo Nights, the recently released Redail, and Tell Your World used for the Japanese Google Chrome promotion that won awards. That's the first song that I've heard where KZ has used the new V3 English Miku VB. I like it.

One thing for sure Black will be a BIG hit with the Lolicom crowd, and I'm also sure Murakami had that on his mind too. A bit too risque for the Pre-Cure demo me thinks. Wink

Yeah, that'll work. Laughing

That is very clearly not English Miku. She pronounced another as "anazaa" but English Miku can definitely say "another" better than that.

For example. (Yeah, she said "mother" in the second one, but the point is the "other" part definitely has a th and an R.)

Also, kz has made songs with Miku V3 English before (though he didn't tune them). He remixed Spectrum and released an English version of Tell Your World.

Sorry to burst your bubble there, but KZ didn't remix Spectrum, ZEDD did, and the English Version of Tell Your World was a part of the early demo's Crypton commissioned before the final official release on 31/ August/2013. They both were actually, and to be quite honest I can't tell the difference between those and Pink Or Black. Many of the English Miku songs have poor English due to the creators being Japanese in the first place, but knowing that is not a hindrance to my enjoying the song and melody regardless. Also why would KZ go through all the trouble of making Japanese Miku sing in English when there is already an English programme available to him? Is he that much of a workaholic? Wink

The very Idea that a parent would even consider buying makeup for a girl of 7 to 11 just goes against the grain of moral and ethical parenthood in my mind, but it's not like that sort of thing doesn't happen in the real world with the likes of real infant, or young child beauty pageants happening in the US and the selling of sexually objectified clothing and costumes for the same here in the UK. I mean high heels for infants? Party dresses for 9-year-olds with padded breasts? What does this all teach the child? That they are nothing until they've tarted themselves up to look like Loleta's? Some parents shouldn't be allowed to become ones, But I have the feeling I'm just pissing into the wind here. Rolling Eyes
