Too bad those rules are in Japanese, google translate gives me some gibberish. Doesn't say where to sent the entry to.

I really think this is going too far. I'm a huge vocaloid fan, but lately we're just getting new robot after new robot, with hardly any time in between releases two focus on the new kid of the month or whatever. As a result, they seem to slip into obscurity pretty fast.

I guess it could be interesting, though.

This sounds fun, and they should make another web page in english if they want more people to enter.

Kinda sad that, they are now reproducing Vocaloids like crazy. But kinda good, because we got more to choose from.

Woah, this seems cool. I hope this opens to English fans 'cause I've seen some pretty cool fanmade ones. I do have to agree with the fact that new VOCALOIDs are being released a little too quickly.

Wow! That's a really cool contest!

Although. I thought Lily was an Internet Co. Ltd Vocaloid, not a Yamaha Vocaloid. Yamaha was responsible for VY1 and the upcoming VY2, but those don't have characters attached to them...

Lily was co-developed by both Yamaha and Internet Co. Ltd.
