MIKU GOES TO POLAND!

di Frankie (12/14/2007 - 10:40)


(via Yi-Fan) Our Vocaloid 2 Hatsune Miku has just been featured by the Gazeta Ogorkowa: a supplement of the polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza (the Editor-in-Chief of "Gazeta Ogorkowa" will be renowned satirical journalist Michal Ogorek) that has been hit by the Levan Polka meme!

Geek Note: it's interesting to note that the blogsphere has really changed the memesphere since digital culture giants like Wired has not yet get hit by the Miku/Vocaloid 2 meme when a Polish newspaper has already run a full page about it...

MANGA MUSIC SOFTWARE BOOM!

di Frankie (12/08/2007 - 15:36)

 


After the huge success of Vocaloid 2 "Hatsune Miku" (more than 25.000 units sold in 3 months) that stormed the Japanese music software industry, this week two new "manga" music products has been announced:
Audio Control 1 "Producer Pack" and Music Maker "Jam Band". The first one features an official collaboration with Crypton (Vocaloid 2 producer) and will be sold with an official Miku mousepad. Audio Control 1 an a high-end audio interface, with assignable buttons and a controller knob combined with advanced MIDI key commands, gives for full control of software applications (and of course can be integrated with Vocaloid 2).

"Jam Band" seems a customization of the popular Music Maker software from Magix.

di Frankie (11/04/2007 - 16:52)


Last saturday Komatsu Ya has released Miku Blaster: the very first doujin game dedicated to Miku (and created with Vocaloid 2). This game is the very first meme shooting game that looks like a mix of REZ with the onscreen comment visualization of Nico Nico Video. It features meme like Nice Boat taking the doujin videogame scene to a brand new level...
