I'm always a little surprised that a song with Miku singing about a relationship based on sex rather than love became so popular considering how much Japanese otaku freak out when their idols imply they aren't virgins. But then again, maybe it isn't the same for the virtual ones, it might eve be a draw, like false hope.

Whatever, I want a figure of her in that costume. Very Happy Make it so, Good Smile.

She is just a synthised voice programme afterall, but regardless, singing about the consequnces of sex and lust, won't make a virgin singer any less virgin. Just saying. Also that song dates back to 2007 anyway. With over 100,000 different songs created with this programme over the last 4 years and counting, one would think that they could have come up with something more new and recent for their new product. Wink

On the topic of this "new release" I see very little about it that's "new" apart from different backgrounds and maybe new costumes. The model design is still to stiff and plasticine for my liking.

Dammit, I LOVE THIS SONG!! Laughing I usually like more /romance/-centered Vocaloid songs, (like Melt, World is Mine, Lonely Princess and Attendant, etc.) but Ura-Omote (Two-Faced) Lovers is just freakin fantastic. It's such a powerful song- full of bitterness, anger, lust... marry me, wowakaP!! Mad

Sometimes it's fun to hear lust-filled Vocaloid songs rather than rose-colored, doe-eyed love stories! Romeo and Cinderella, anyone? Laughing

I'll definitely be importing this!! Very Happy I have the other Miku games, so why not?

(On an unrelated note, I can't wait for Project Mirai!!! Cool)
