Not sure if this has been posted yet. It's not exactly new, but it was on BBC two, so... I dunno if it counts.

"Computer game".

Project Diva isn't even on the PC nor is Vocaloid a game... I wish they would get the basics right, I switched the video off the moment he said that. ¬_¬

Funny how the guy at the start calls him a "very important computer geek" but said "computer geek" doesn't understand what he's talking about. XD

Huhu, old news is old. Klaidon submited this more than one year ago on this very thread. I remember it quite well since I'm the one who reprinted the excerpt of the Beeb report on YT that you submited

And believe me, more than one year ago this report was not bad at all compared with all the clueless stuff we had in the mainstream media.

Like I said, I wasn't sure if it'd been posted. To be honest, i'm just glad my shiyte country actually acknowledges Vocaloid exists. XD

posted from facebook.

it was good, didn't say much about it really besides actually introducing more vocaloids and not just the Character Vocaloids on top of that. I'll give them kudos for that.

I do have to wonder why they touched up on the topic of jazz music, however. maybe Jazz music is very popular and appreciated in the Seattle area and in japan? I never knew that there were also opera concerts being held as well.

the magazine also explained that the reason why most people enjoy vocaloid is that anyone can imagine what kind of personalities the vocaloid characters can be and what kind of people they are as I once theorized before. to be frank, though, i don't think that really says much because the vocaloids are given a specific personality in a MMD or a hand drawn music video that the personality is becoming more universal and/or generalized to a lot of people. a lot of the music videos and MMDs i've seen of miku in them was that she was portrayed as a sweet, innocent, cheeky, and bright young girl.


also...

>by december, SeeU learned japanese and became the first bilingual vocaloid

They also said that there's no English language synthesizers in the market.

>Comments scroll across the screen at a Miku concert in Tokyo
Wow Miku, I didn't know you were in Vocafarre, or that Vocafarre was a public live concert.
If there was such a concert please tell me that I'm wrong.

I'm glad they talked about Vocaloids besides the Cryptonloids, though.

Posting these news found by Uzza to the right thread. Nice article from Reuters, though they'll propagate the rumor about the "Last" concert to new heigths

And be sure to watch the Norvegian news report, I really need to ask this Australian fan his brand of shampoo

I'm working on translating the Argentina, Venezuela, and Spain reports to English

[exemplar]

I have an article from ITMedia that's all about SeeU.

http://www.itmedia.c...02/news079.html

I don't know japanese and google translate can only do so much. But what I can tell is it does go into detail about how the 12 year old son of one of the top creative guys at SBS interest of vocaloids got his father's attention back in 2009 and how that help get the project rolling; why they went with japanese and korean voicebanks; a little about how they think SeeU's english bank will help 'accelerate the flow of internationalization of vocaloid' (translator's words, not mine), a little about SeeU's design and little bit on plans to have her perform on stage via projections like other vocaloid concerts.

I was wondering if anybody could provide a much clearer translation of this, because I think this article has alot of new information in regards to the future plans for SeeU. And knowing this, I didn't know if I should have just posted this in the regular news section by itself instead of just here in this news article sticky (if it is worthy of being in the regular news section, feel free to move it over there if possible if you want to).
