And JUST when I was beginning to get into the Vocaloid thing. The Black Rock Shooter anime was impressive, the memes were legendary, the auto-tune voices had stopped giving me a headache, I was considering importing the Project DIVA game to put some Sakura Taisen songs on, and then this happened.

Thanks, Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), thanks a lot. You could have at least watched those videos of Miku's debut on Playstation Home or something to see how it should have been done. You could have debuted a simpler, cuter version. But nooo. You decided not to stop at ruining fashion and the name "Mimu," you went and ruined the name "Miku," too.

*sigh* Hit the jump for the video.
