Well as you can you see I’ve delayed the BRS review yet again… when VN02 arrived I just couldn’t resist ^^

久しぶりのMax Factoryリリースだな。 Been a while since my last Max Factory review.

With their figma craze I guess it’s not too surprising ^^; (though i really should’ve gotten their recent tama-nee release ^^;)

VN02 is another figure I got without really knowing much about her origins.  Miku with a dash of mecha was definitely enough to persuade me though :P

Turns out this rendition of miku is courtesy of nagimiso (blog… i think? ^^;) for a cover of moon.

nagimiso is also behind the rin release later this year.

Pretty much love everything about this release… pose, the mecha elements, outfit, color scheme… very striking ^^

I really like miku stuff but it’s usually ‘cuz I’m amazed by the covers that make the rounds on niconico.  If you’re not a fan of miku’s voice I recommend giving the covers a try… human voice adds a lot imo ^^

Hard to convey in the pics so far since there’s no reference but she’s actually a lot smaller than I thought.

Of course with her base and mecha attachment thingies and hair she takes up quite a bit of space.

Actually now that I look at it I have no idea what’s going on with that base… some sort of engine thing spewing green flames everywhere?  or something? ^^;

Her right leg has some sort of… armor… extension… thing ^^; that sits in the base to help support her… had to bend her a bit to get it to fit though nothing out of the ordinary (though that sort of thing always makes me uneasy ^^;).

Base material reminds me of freeing’s kanu.

Like all the little details on her outfit

Because she’s got so much going on you can appreciate vn02 from a wide variety of viewing angles ^^

Or up close macro style

Though I must say up close (read: reaaaaaaally close) you start to see a lot of minor flaws in the paint and such.

Luckily it’s nothing you’ll ever notice unless you only view your figures with magnifying glasses.

Love her sleeves which fade into transparent material ^^

That combined with the arm length gloves, just great ^^

You can actually notice the imperfect transparency from further away as it weirdly distorts light but again, so much else to appreciate, hard to get hung up on such a small detail.

They should add VN02 to the cast of exelica in a new game :P

Prolly shoulda used a narrower aperature for the above shot… ah well ^^;

I dunno why but I like the above shot ^^  Not as much as the below shot thou :P

mmm she just begs for shots from every angle ^^

Nice details in her outfit~  and if you haven’t noticed by now… vn02 is also much more well endowed than normal miku ^^;

maybe it’s just ‘cuz i like the color green but i think this is an amazing release ^^;

‘nother look at her headset thing

Of course love her long flowing hair.  Awesome twin tails ^^

‘nother look from above

Again used the highlight tone priority since vn02′s outfit has black + white.

‘nother portrait

Ah, actually do have one comparison shot.  The good ‘ol gsc release:

sorry for the pic deluge, I was just having too much fun :P

Someday I’m gonna get around to making some improvised light controls… until then… ooo single light from the side! … … … ^^;;

not that that doesn’t change things up nicely… just wish i had other tricks up my sleeve ^^;

Probably the biggest downside to this figure is the price… retailing at 12,800 yen she’s nothing to sneeze at.  amiami actually had her for 9800 yen and for some reason I got an additional 15% off (some sort of sale maybe?) so my final total w/ems shipping was 11,370 yen.  Still pricey though ^^;

If you can spare the cash, a pleasure to behold and a solid addition to any collection ^^

Approaching a year since its release but it was just last month in Akiba when I acquired my copy.  If only the latest and greatest suit your fancy, check back in a few days when my nanoha -stand by ready- review should be going up ^_^  Then again… there was Lost today and St. Patrick’s Day on Wednesday… perhaps by the end of the week then? ^^;

back to project diva ^^;

First Impressions

As a miku fan, I was under the spell as soon as I heard miku say/sing the SEGA load screen ^^;  Getting right into things and seeing World is Mine at the top of the song list… I dunno, I still just find it fascinating anytime something I see on niconico goes mainstream or is super well executed ^^;;  The allure of the cinderella story perhaps?

Forgive the lame images… that’s what happens when you try to quickly churn out images of something like a psp without proper technique orz

Soon After Starting…

Was disappointed to find that my previous years as a musician, ouendan I+II/guitar hero/rhythm game afficionado, and fan of World is Mine were not enough to conquer the song.  I’m used to getting to the end of the song being synonymous with a cleared stage.  Not the case in project diva.  You have to have a certain score?  or something? to get a standard passing grade.

click for gelbooru

On the other hand I was able to adapt to the system pretty quickly and started making my way through songs… usually didn’t have to replay a song more than two or three times.  Costumes are unlocked if you’re playing decently, but even if you’re not there’s the bonus of unlocking room items randomly which was nice.

Settling in…

Slowly got used to the game quirks and was able to pass songs pretty easily.  Started to notice some of the little things.  Like… is it my imagination or is there lag on some songs?  Pretty annoying.  And I don’t know if it’s my psp or what but it feels like the buttons stick sometimes killing my combo ;_;

…which at first I didn’t think would be a problem since combos don’t seem to affect score much when compared to the chance time.  But then I found out that it’s really chance time that’s key to getting a “great” score.  During chance time you get 100 points for the first note you hit, then 200, 300, etc. up to a max of 5000 per note.  That’s fine and all but to get a great rating (needed to unlock lots of stuff), you basically have to do an unbroken combo for like… 75% of the chance time?  Something like that.  Doesn’t matter if you got a perfect combo up until chance time (which is usually at the end of a song) – make that 1 mistake in the middle of chance time and you’ll be degraded to a standard rating ‘cuz there’s just no way to make up for the points.

click for gelbooru

Also of note… if you’re not familiar with the game a pv plays in the background while shapes corresponding to the psp buttons appear on screen in gray.  Soon after a colored version of the shape flies in, and when the colored version lines up with the gray outline… hit the button and you get points if you were timed properly.  Now imagine miku shaking her butt while you’re trying to time these notes down to the millisecond :P  I definitely prefer something interesting happening rather than a blank background of course, but it’s always seemed like a weird conflict to me with these rhythm games… funny/kawaii/whatever animations going on… but you can’t look at them if you’re trying to get a good score ^^;;;  Definitely not an issue unique to this game, nor do i have a good alternative but thought I’d mention it ^^;

And Really Nitpicking…

The game isn’t optimized for the fans that want to do it all.  One of the simplest things – starting the game up – is plagued by a lack of an autoload of your save data!  So every time you have to press O, O, O, X.  (Start -> Load -> Accept Save File -> Return).  You can’t even jam on the O button, you have to press X at the end!  Yeah it’s minor, but it would’ve been super minor to have autoload and get players playing -_-  Guess I should use the suspend mode more often…

Next… it’s really hard to track your progress on unlocking things.  Some costumes require you to beat songs with a certain costume… but you have no way of knowing which costumes you’ve used to beat which songs!  (if there is, pleeease tell me :P)  And while there are icons showing if you’ve completed/unlocked pv/perfected a song… I believe it’s only for the normal difficulty!  You have to select the song then select the other difficulties before you can see the icons for hard/easy.

click for gelbooru

Also there’s no indication when playing a song what, if any, conditions are required to unlock a costume.  So you’re forced to exit free play mode, go to module mode (costume select), then scroll down the list to the locked costume to see the conditions required for unlocking.  Memorize those conditions, exit module mode, reenter free mode, and go back to the song you need to play… not ideal.

…not to mention the requirements for unlocking things.  For example, the swimsuit… beat all songs on normal with Great or higher.  Fine, not too bad…

Except that it all has to be done with her regular costume!  And there’s a handful of other ones with the exact same condition, but a different costume!  So in the end you’d have to do a full clear of the game on normal (and i think beating on hard doesn’t count -_-) at least like 3 times? maybe 4 or 5?

Again, I apologize for the terrible images ^^;;;;  But yeah… those “wear this costume and beat a billion songs” conditions really suck because half the fun is changing up miku’s appearance between songs -_-

click for gelbooru

figured I better throw in some proper miku mizugi pics if you suffered through those other images ^^;;

click for gelbooru

Other Modes

There’s also the miku room mode where you can decorate miku’s room with items you unlock through regular play.  During that mode you can take pictures of her to save and use as wallpaper for your psp… but you only have zoom control over the stupid camera!  I’m sure they just wanted to keep the lowanglers at bay but as an aspiring photographer it’s really annoying to be locked on with your subject in the very middle of the frame all the time.

You can’t really interact with her in the room so alas it’s hardly much of a mode ^^;;  I  just used it to capture random psp wallpaper images but that was before i knew you could do the same when watching a pv ^^;

click for gelbooru

As for the custom song stuff… haven’t gotten around to that yet.  (sorry persocom, can’t give you any advice ^^;;) For the moment I’m more interested in unlocking costumes ^^;

Overall

Well, I bet the miku fans it would be good for already have the game ^^;  On the off chance you don’t, try to find it used or something, you’ll likely get some good time out of it, assuming you like rhythm games at all.  I’m a miku fan, but not at all dedicated — so most of the songs were new to me.  It’s been fun getting to know ‘em with miku up to her antics in the background ^^

If you’re not a miku fan… I must say the rhythm game feels rather mediocre.  The scoring method is annoying (to me at least… reward me for those non-chance time 200 combos!!) and the game play isn’t very innovative.  And on normal difficulty (hard not available ’til you pass normal with great or perfect) you only use two buttons!  Seemed rather watered down.

click for gelbooru

If you haven’t seen ‘em already, cleartranquil, aaron, and kyourankyodai all posted reviews many  moons ago.  They actually have shots from the game that are worth viewing to boot :P

以上！

Another figure for vocaloid lovers, world is mine miku!  Like BRS, this interpretation of her comes from a well received supercell release.  Well… technically i think i heard that brs wasn’t actually based off miku…?  Anyhow, on with the review~

Yet another release with a non-standard base.  Extremely non-standard ^^;

Huge and fitted with a frame and stand so you can either prop it up or hang it on your wall.

Rose petals for a touch of elegance?

headphones in the corner

Was dissapointed that you can’t remove the frame.  Don’t plan on hanging her on my wall so I woulda preferred something less conspicuous.

miku sticks pretty dang well to the base thanks to some magnets so you should have no fears hanging her.

After reading james’ review I was on the lookout for flaws and unfortunately they certainly turned up.  Above you can see the sort of sloppy looking execution of the black bow.

At this magnification the pattern on her shirt looks a bit unrefined although I think it’s fine at regular viewing distances.

Perhaps the bigger flaws in my copy were on her hair.

Luckily you can’t really see them unless you’re really looking.  Unless you view the view resolution version of the above pic you might not notice:

and

Kind of looks like her hair got chipped or something ;_;  At least her pantsu look fine :P

macro power!

Personally the only time I really look this closely at my figures is for the review so the flaws won’t bother me so much.

Hmm looks like I didn’t do the lighting properly above to see the things in her hair ^^;;

Paint job aside I love how her hair was done ^^

They did a weird translucent finish with the tips, not quite sure why ^^;

Dress looks alright, nothing special I guess.

Stockings black with reflective finish.

You can kinda see another flaw in her hair below ;_;  In the pic right above her eye.

miku goes into neet mode on chizuru’s pillow

Really love her expression

Didn’t really both much with different backgrounds since her base acted as the bg for the most part ^^;

Overall, despite her flaws I like what they’ve done for this release.  Obviously coulda been cleaner on the quality control but take a look at the source pic…

Click for official wim page (contains this and other wallpaper downloads)

…and I think most will be happy with the final product.  Also available with a lighter colored frame if you prefer.

For your convenience here’s the original vid (niconico):

and my favorite cover, this time by うさ (niconico)

foo-bar-baz took her off the base for a 360 view (forgot to do it myself ^^;), along with having great pics as usual.

james also has very nice pics along with a pair of ‘em to view, including the natural colored frame.

Marisa is up next, yoroshiku!

以上！

I believe miku was originally released in September, 2008 – quickly followed up with multiple rereleases.  Good Smile Company’s 1/8 release is pretty solid, though at the moment I wish I had a 1/7 ^^;  (seems like Max Factory is working on that?)

I think it’s awesome that the all time most viewed video on niconico is みくみくにしてあげる♪ (youtube) – miku miku ni shite ageru – I’ll mikumiku it for you.  6.4 million views, 1.9 million comments, and 139k people added to a “my list” (niconico’s playlist system).

It wasn’t really until I started watching all the stuff on niconico that I really started to get into the vocaloids.  All the fan art, videos, mmd (mikumiku dance) and fan renditions of songs is really amazing.  I’ll try to put together my own niconico guide for the less language inclined folk sometime soon ^^;

Been having a bit of a problem with my lens… it’s so powerful all the dust is captured in excruciating detail ^^;;

…and that’s after I spend five minutes dusting orz.

I’d stick with some less magnified views but I’m having too much fun, so dust be damned :P

Plus it lets you see how well the details were done on miku ^^

I find myself using the live view so I can zoom in digitally 10x and manually focus.  Pretty good insurance that my shot is focused, then I just have to worry about getting a narrow enough aperture to keep the rest of the pic in focus ^^;

Hmm just realized I forgot pantsu shots.  You can check in with foo-bar-baz for that.

You can see my background wasn’t high enough for the angle above ^^;  Was nice and blurred out though so thought I’d leave it.  Then decided to see how it’d look without the bg.

Ok I guess, not sure about the black shelf making that horizontal line ^^;

I dunno but I really like her 01 tatoo ^^

And I like the above shot for no good reason ^^;

Lights were causing some weird reflections -_-

Should’ve fixed the white balance below, looks more like world is mine ^^;

Green fingernails match her I guess but not sure I like the color ^^;

Turns out this is the figure I gave away for the contest I held last December.

nanu ended up winning by guessing how many volumes of manga I would have when the contest ended.  Hopefully I’ll have some extra cash to hold another contest this year.  Always fun to give things away ^^

One nice thing about having a sharp lens and higher resolution pictures is that I can finally make 1920×1200 wallpapers that look as sharp as the resized smaller pics!  I’ll have to update my figure wallpaper page with some new stuff.

Unfortunately miku’s out of stock at hlj and hobby search.  Perhaps other stores or some place local may still have her?

I’d be more diligent linking other reviews but since she’s older I’ll just stick with foo-bar-baz and James‘ reviews.  James has links to 5 other reviews if you need ‘em ^^

以上！

Watch this video now.  If you don’t have a nico nico account, I’ve made a post at dannychoo.com that has the video embedded.  If for whatever reason neither of those options appeals to you, you’ll have to sign up @ nicovideo or wait ’til someone uploads it to youtube ^^;

Chibi miku is too cute for words ^^  Many comments flying across the screen say, “I died” or, “Death by cuteness/moe,” etc.  I fall in that category ^^;

In computer news, I think I’m finally on track to having a robust backup system.

If you do name your drives, what are their names? ^_^

Alrighty, review coming in the next few hours…

以上！

If you already have an account, you can go to the original nico video page.

Also, if you really like this rendition, うさ (usa (oo-saw)), the singer, included an mp3 for download. The password you need is “usawine” (no quotes. there’s a text box above the download button, type the password in there). (Update: sorry, forgot there’s another page after you enter the password. On the 2nd page, scroll down and under the last banner should be a link: ＜ダウンロードする＞ – which translates to “download” – yes, click that one ^^) Alternately I think whoever uploaded the youtube version also included a megaupload link.

Probably old news for niconico goers (>750,000 views!) and miku fans alike, but I’m a slowpoke, so cut me some slack :P And for the rest of ya like me who were unaware, you should listen to it now!

Also if you haven’t gotten around to the original song, here’s it is:

Also you can watch at niconico, or download an mp3 from supercell site (zip contains instrumental version too).

If you haven’t signed up for niconico, dannychoo user tenrou wrote up a little how-to. I was going to do one of my own with screenshots and explanations of some of the parts of the site (like adding to your list, where to find the rankings, etc) but haven’t gotten around to it yet. In the meantime, check out tenrou’s instructions, it might be fun to see what the fuss is about if you’ve never experienced it.

If you can read any japanese (even just hiragana), you may be able to appreciate the insanity of the comments that float across the screen. I love ‘em ^__^ teh intertubes at their finest.

For reference, here’s a handful of characters to look for:
かわいい – kawaii
すごい – sugoi
すげ – suge (== sugoi, even less formal)
ｗｗｗｗｗｗ – last time I checked, ‘w’ stands for ‘warai’ == laughing, so in this context == lol. so wwwww roughly translates to lololol ^^;;;

1. This contest is only open to those who have commented on this blog prior to this post’s publish date OR to those with a dannychoo.com account that has been registered for over 1 month at the time of post’s publish date and has at least 50 comments.  If you only qualify through the dannychoo.com account route, then you must link the account in question and it must contain a link to a site with contact information so I can verify it’s you (i.e. if you win I’m gonna go to that site and look for an e-mail address to tell that person they won.  So it better be you :P).  I apologize to those who stop by regularly without commenting, but for now, this is going to be my spam/cheat protection mechanism.  Also, by doing this, I hope people realize I’m not doing this contest to whore out my site (though it would be fun to see the traffic spike :P), but rather to thank those who have come along for the ride as I fall into figure obsession ^^;  One final way to validate your entry – if you’ve commented on this blog previously, you may vouch for someone else you know who you’d like to give a chance in this contest.
2. The winner will receive my extra Good Smile Company Hatsune Miku, pictured above.
3. I will pay for the shipping costs on my end, but if you have customs/tax/whatever issues on your end I’m afraid you’ll still have to deal with that.
4. You must place your entry by posting to this thread.  E-mail or other entries will be ignored.
5. If you turn out to be the selected winner, you must be willing to supply me with an address to ship to.  Don’t post your address here, I’ll contact you separately through e-mail.
6. If the selected winner fails to leave me contact information (i.e. an e-mail to respond to) and/or respond within 1 week, a new winner will be selected.  Please put your e-mail in the comment form (I can get it through my dashboard), not in your post.
7. Winner accepts prize as is.  I assume no responsibility for the item’s condition or any damage/random loss during transit.  If something happens to her on the way over, I’m terribly sorry, but no replacement will be issued.  Also, this will be the first time I’ve shipped a figure, so definitely no guarantees ^^;;
8. Entries will be accepted from now until the end of the year.  That is, you must have submitted your entry by 11:59 PM GMT, December 31, 2008.  (if you want to see the current GMT, just search google for “time uk”, without quotes)
9. I reserve the right to change these rules at any time (sorry, but for the moment it’s my miku, and my contest :P  This isn’t any fancy corporate sponsored event.).
10. If the winner decides that he/she does not wish to receive the prize, he/she may pass to the next eligible candidate, however, no consolation prize will be issued.
11. The winner does not need to get the answer exactly.  If no one gets the answer exactly correct, the entry closest to the answer will be declared the winner.
12. If more than 1 entry is within +/- 5 of the correct answer, tie-breaker question 1 will be used.  If more than 1 entry is within +/- 2 of the correct answer to tie-breaker question 1, tie-breaker question 2 will be used.  If more than 1 entry is exactly correct in answering tie-breaker question 2, a winner will be selected at my discretion.
13. Entries should contain answers to all three questions, though if you only answer the main question, the entry is still valid (you simply lose any tie breakers, should the event arise).
14. If no other description is given, the three numbers in an entry will be considered as answers to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd questions, respectively.
15. You can submit up to two entries, but in the case 2 are submitted, only the 2nd entry will be considered.  Submitting 3 ord more entries will void all of them.

Agree to all that?  Alright, on to the actual contest content.  Simply answer the following question:

How many volumes of Japanese language manga will meronpan own when the contest closes?

Easy, right?  :P  There’s various pictures of my collection around this site, though I’m not sure if any of them were taken with all volumes present and accounted for.  If you’re wondering why I specified Japanese language, that’s to leave room for the tie breaker questions (though I imagine they won’t be necessary…):

Tie-breaker 1:

How many light novels will meronpan own when the contest closes?

Tie-breaker 2:

How many volumes of English language manga will meronpan own when the contest closes?

Keep in mind, with Christmas and vacation coming up, I’m liable to add to the collection before the contest closes ^^; So there you have it, enjoy, and thanks again for stopping by!  Ah yes, and before I forget, with  Christmas coming up I probably won’t be posting as often as I’d like.  The following week will be better hopefully!  Good luck and in case I don’t get another post in in time, Merry Christmas!

She’s finally here! Finally! Alas… she’s… 1 of 2 -_- My paranoia for my Kid Nemo order had me minimizing all risk so I kept on to the pre-order, figuring I’d cancel after my Play Asia order arrived…

As luck would have it, I was billed for my Kid Nemo order a couple days after my play asia order shipped -_- Ah well, Miku secured, mission accomplished. I’m thinking to give away my spare in a xmas/winter contest, so keep your eyes peeled (errr well, not just yet, need to actually wait for the 2nd to arrive then think of some sort of contest ^^;)

Before the pics fool you, this is a preview post, full review later ^^; My gaming habit has flared up lately so review and posting time has been reduced a bit. Before it was Left 4 Dead, most recently it’s been Mass Effect… I forgot how much time a Bioware rpg can take…

Took a few shots of hayate to start on her review, as you’ve probably seen, she’s really gorgeous. Took 23 shots for 6 pics though ^^;; May be a while before I finish that one…

In manga news picked up another random volume last week…

Well, kannagi wasn’t random, but マンガ家さんとアシスタントさんと  (mangakasan to ashisutantosan to {Mr. Manga Artist and Ms. Assistant … err something like that ^^;}) was.  I didn’t know it at the time, but it’s the same artist who did doujin work (which now I want to try out ^^;).  Art style is really clean and the content is just right for me.  So far seems to be about a manga artist with no romantic (or ecchi ^^;) experience and his kawaii assistant.  It’s kinda ecchi – the opening panel has the artist sitting at his desk proclaiming, 「おっぱい揉みたい…」　{i want to squeeze some oppai…} ^^;;  His assistant, while caught off guard, takes it all in stride, and it’s kinda light comedy revolving around these kind of situations.

Hopefully I’ll get some pics of the actual manga later… Hiroyuki-sensei alternates between 4-koma and regular layouts so you get the best of both worlds.

以上！

jya~n!

Hlj to the rescue! Soon as I figured out my shipment was delayed I looked around and hlj had her in stock! They also had a couple other things in stock so I kind of went overboard…

3 figmas, a miku, and a side of mikuru please~

the leaning tower of figma

^^;; Anyhow, back to the topic at hand… miku!  Been looking to get a hold of her forever.  She’s just too insanely cute to not have.

haruhi is eager to recruit new talent

Nendoroid owners are prolly familiar with all the goodies that come with her… extra faces, limbs… and a leek!

actually the disembodied parts are kinda freaky...

scene from a horror movie... ^^;

Finally free!

「じゃ～ん！」　{jya~n! (tada~!)}

haruhi gets miku to work right away.

「はい！歌ってちょうだい！」 {hai! utattechoudai! (ok, sing!)}

…haruhi never lets up.

「もう、許して下さい！」　{mou yurushite! (Please, let me go!)}

Ever.

「もう、限界です！」　{mou, genkai desu! (I can't take it anymore!)}

Saber to the rescue.

「いい加減にしろ！」　{iikagennishiro! (behave yourself!)}

Saber just wanted the leek.

「え？　セイバーさん？」 {e? seiba-san?}

One thing I found annoying when changing faces is that you have to remove miku’s two earpieces to do so. Can get a little tiring ^^;

「皆さん、歌いましょう！」 {minna-san, utaimashou! (Let's sing everyone!)}

Run faster miku!

「逃げるな！」　{nigeruna! (Stop running away!)}

Fate to the rescue?

「助けてあげます！」　{tasuketeagemasu! (I'll save you!)}

miku inadvertently steps onto a battlefield… [as always, click pics for higher rez versions]

「何ですか、これ？！」　{nandesuka, kore?! (What is this?!)}

Someday I’ll put my figmas in less violent poses ^^;

「いやあああぁ～」　{iyaaaaaaa~ (aaaaaaaaa~)}

nagato, ever stoic.

「。。。」

miku makes a hasty retreat.

「覚悟なさいよ！」　{kakugonasaiyo! (prepare yourself!)}

…only to be caught by a low angler ^^;

「パンツを見ないで下さい！」　{pantsu wo minaide kudasai! (don't look at my pantsu!)}

I love how her hair is adjustable. Unfortunately you need to keep her on the stand if you want to move it up, since normally it keeps her balanced ^^;

「ひどいです！」 {hidoi desu! (you're horrible!)}

About as much detail as you’d expect from a figure like this. It amazes me that the vocaloid text is so crisp.

「どうしてこんな事に…」　{doushite konna koto ni... (why did it have to be like this...)}

Seems haruhi and nagato decided to retreat for now…

戦勝！　{senshou! (victory!)}

「もしよかったら、このネギを…」　{moshi yokattara, kono negi wo... (If you'd like, please take this leek...)}

Poor miku!

「欲しくな～い！」　{hoshikuna~i! (we don't want that!)}

Be sure to stop by ..:: Anime Baka ::.. for intense miku love more coverage. Fariz Asuka has no less than 39 posts tagged hatsune miku at the time of this post ^_^

aaaand more at Excelica Meteor, Gordonator (ultra kawaii shots in a mini house), How a Girl Figures (miku + Lagann = win), foo-bar-baz, wcloudx, and I’m sure more on my blog roll that I’ve forgotten to list ^^;

And thus my review extras group doubled in size. You’ll probably be seeing a lot more of everyone in reviews to come ^^;
