Here are some preview scans of the upcoming Vocaloid Figures 8D Figma Luka, Figma Dead Master and Hatsune Miku Tony Taka Version scale figure. ^^

Figma Luka and Dead Master looks nice and good, but unfortunately I stopped buying figmas, prefer Nendoroid more so I will be skipping on this too I guess.. Though I admit the Luka one looks really nice and cute with the maguro… lol

No price and date yet for Dead Master Figma, for Luka Figma she will be scheduled to release on September this year with retail price of 2800 Yen.

This Miku scale figure by Max Factory looks stunning… I really like the pose and that hair line… Depending on the final coloured version I think I might be getting this. Looks really nice to add to my Miku figure collection.. XD No price and date yet for this one too…

Thanks wcloudxkumo for heads up.

BSSubs.net brings Live Japanese TV!

rihoko — Sun, 09 May 2010 05:18:31 +0000

: azunyan live action coming to your screen nyan~

[pic by pantarou san]

For those who’s been watching pixelated, laggy live anime via keyholeTV, this may provide you with a new alternative- supposing that it doesn’t go haywire when a popular anime actually airs.
For those who’s never even watched anime live, well, here’s an awesome way to do it!

All you’ll be needing is microsoft’s silverlight and a decent internet connection, then you can head over to http://bssubs.net/live/ to start watching weird japanese TV shows now! (let me know if you catch one of them bikini TV game shows *cough*)

It goes without saying that live Japanese TV do not have English subtitles, so for those who can’t watch anime without subs.. err… you can go watch yui-nyan for 10 minutes to improve your Japanese. Good Luck! >:D

Nendo Plus Cars and Rollers Reservation Open

Kazearashi — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 19:21:26 +0000

A few days ago, Mikatan posted about these cars and rollers up on her blog, kinda missed it since I was busy with stuff >< but yesterday the reservation for these cute plus items is opened. =D You can start preordering over at the Hobby Search, for Miku, Rin, Len and Luka on the link respectively.

They will be retailing for 1480 yen each and will be scheduled to release on March next year. ^^ I probably will not be getting these, I know it’s so cute to have them riding this, but apparently the size is only for the puchi nendo… D= I might be buying these if it’s the normal nendoroid size xD Reserve yours now if you’re interested in it! ^^

Attack of the new vocaloids, loli-loid included!

rihoko — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:05:38 +0000

With kaze busy rushing his work, it’s me and my poor title naming sense again! Although slightly late *cough*, now that more solid information is available, I’m here to report on the 3 new vocaloids and 2 voiceroids, all slated to be released on 4 December 2009 by AH-Software. The image above is by kl@ san.

The new 2nd generation vocaloids are SF-A2 code name Miki, who will be featuring in the VOCALOIDS★Xmas album, and a new forbidden-love pair of teacher and loli student, Hiyama sensei and Yuki-tan. Not that I have anything against new vocaloids being churned out so fast (it’s definitely a good thing for fan artists and fanfic writers), but whoaa.. at this rate we’ll really need a tekken-style vocaloid battle royale game, so vocaloids from different companies can slug it out at each other to determine the str⑨ngest vocaloid!! I’m rooting for yuki-tan!!! Card game/Manga/Anime can follow. 　We’ll call it Vocaloid Blades and make it really pervy. uhuh

That aside, the 2 voiceroids are more or less an advanced japanese MSagent text to speech softwares, which come in the personality of a 5-yr old loli Tsukuyomi Ai chan, and a 7-yr old shota Tsukuyomi Shouta kun　(apparently a Tetsujin 28-go reference).

So without further ado, here’s a summary of the new vocaloids/voiceroid to be released this coming December. Just how big a piece of the vocaloid market pie can these garner is surely anybody’s guess.

SF-A2 Code name Miki – with voice samples from Furukawa Miki (formerly with supercar) possibly from her collaboration with Saihate’s producer, onyxP. Miki is set to be a futuristic android pop singer character with a strong resemblance to Topless/Buster Machine no. 7 Nono-chan.
Suitable tempo: 70-170
Suitable note range: E2-G4
[amazon.co.jp link]
Vocaloid Sensei (teacher) – Hiyama Kiyoteru - Sorry, I can’t help but relate this character to Aoki from kodomo no jikan. His profile mentions he plays in a rockband, Ice mountain during the weekends. So maybe he’s cool, unlike aoki. *cough*
Suitable tempo: 60-160
Suitable note range: C2-G3
[amazon.co.jp link]
Vocaloid Shougakusei (grade/primary school student) – Kaai Yuki - Why I left her last? Cuz she’s the ONLY new vocaloid you actually need to remember!! Forget the above, this is it! I don’t care if her voice is not that unique or anything, this adorable 9-year old yuki chan is the NEW VOCALOID STAR!!! I wouldn’t mind if she takes over Miku’s spot as the most popular vocaloid. omg, i love loli-loid so much. Her height puzzles me slightly though, it says big apple 10 .. o.o; new york 10? A friend said this could be a reference to japanese parcel size, that’ll be around 105 cm.
Suitable tempo: 50-150
Suitable note range: F2-C4
[amazon.co.jp link]

VOICEROIDS
– at 9,800 yen each (~109 USD), but package (both included) price at 17,800 yen (198 USD) without amazon discount

Tsukuyomi Ai – 5-yr old ideal loli voice, this is definitely the voice you want to have reading your final year project presentation. Imagine the professors getting all soft and giving you A+. Videos of voice samples uploaded to youtube can be found below.
[amazon.co.jp link]
Tsukuyomi Shouta – 7-yr old oniichan of Ai, shouta has a cute shota voice that makes me want to bully him and huggle him at the same time. Aa.. wrong dirty thoughts
[amazon.co.jp link]
[amazon.co.jp packaged with loli sister] – you and I both know shouta wouldn’t sell otherwise. :p

Currency Conversions based on Friday Nov 13, 2009 closing value of 1.11362 USD to 100 yen

Don’t be sad, here’s a pair of cherries.

: SF-A2 Miki sounds like something from macross

For comparison, Miki and Yuki-tan’s cover of the Miku song ±（ぷらすまいなす） Plus Minus has been uploaded to nico earlier:
Miku’s version:

Miki’s version:

Yuki-tan’s version:

omg LOVE~

Update: Apparently as the anti-loli, enemy-of-2chan/otaku Agnes Chan (former 80s idol now ambassador of Japan’s NGO committee supporting UNICEF) is likely to be scrutinizing poor Yuki-tan, a yuki-tan cover of Agnes Chan’s Try Again translated in Japanese (about half of the song only) was uploaded to nico early Saturday. Luka had also previously covered this song back in February and her voice is used for part of the chorus.

Aoki Hiyama sensei is left to sing with this slow rock ballad: Seichi (Holy Land) Jerusalem

Furthermore, Gigazine has uploaded some voice samples for the voiceroid on youtube last Tuesday.
Ai chan sample 1

Yeah.. it’s the “Sensei anone” loli talking style plus the age-old 2chan meme ”Oniichan, doushite hatarakanai no? (Oniichan, why aren’t you working)” with an ojichan (uncle)
plus an interesting PM hatoyama twist

Ai chan voice sample 2

Oo. loli tsundere… which anime is this from XD i’m sure i’ve heard these lines before

Shouta voice sample 1
Shouta voice sample 2

Sorry, shota shouta kun, I have no interest in your voice samples..

Anyway, one of the first things that came up in mind when seeing these new vocaloids and that pic above by kl@ san was yuki-tan and hiyama sensei doing a cover of the duet “ai no lolita” (Nanako SOS).
And perhaps coincidentally, the loli competition have forced Crypton to reconsider the importance of its Project If.., thereby creating a new twitter account in crypton’s latest progress report on the IF vocaloids were loli, they’d sell 10000 times more project .

Hatsune Miku Project DIVA Premium Figure

Kazearashi — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 15:18:12 +0000

Recently a post in PIAPRO blog mentioned about another Hatsune Miku figure by SEGA. There is not much detail in it though, some things that I catch is this figure will be available in game center as previous figures by SEGA, though it is not mentioned as a prize in UFO catcher or can be normally bought there. Apparently it won’t be sold in normal figure shops I think, and it is scheduled to be out on this coming November. More picture under the cut.

It is a bit bigger than the previous figure by SEGA, can see from the packaging xD

Miku looks cute in this shot ^^

The pedestal looks cool also =D

Another Miku figure to collect for you xD Well I would want to get it too, I guess need to wait for more detail on it and of course what matter most, the price lol… But seeing the previous figure by SEGA, this one also looks afordable too.. xD It’s just that I don’t think they will sell it on normal shops or even online shops… D=
