Who needs real people anyway?

Date March 8, 2010

Especially if you can spend six months on making 3D characters dance for you.

Perfume already sounds like Vocaloids anyway so going from real life → computer generated shouldn’t be that hard now would it!


Just be x

Date March 3, 2010

You know the feeling when you’re talking to someone and reminiscing about old times? For example, when you went to that trip together, raided that castle and got over 9000 experience in one go? Or when you bought your very first figurine? This video makes me feel the same way.

Aaah, I remember that old meme! It was so popular before and then someone made it even better by making the character sing and … and… and…

I think I might spend too much time on nicovideo. Maybe.


700 000 nicovideo premium users

Date March 1, 2010

Nicovideo is now about 7000 users away from having 700 K premium users! This means that they are, just from the users, getting ¥350 000 000 (2,9 million EUR) a month. But they’re in the minus. I guess bandwidth and personal costs are high. And that they use a lot of “creative” bookkeeping.

Be one of us! Join nicovideo premium and watch videos in higher quality, get first in line to live shows and more!


Nicovideo Omnibus tour CD release

Date February 26, 2010

The members from the nicovideo world tour will release a CD the 31:st of mars. You might recognize members such as KIRA, GOMU, MEGANE and Re:. The CD will contain songs from the world tour and it will cost ¥ 2 525.

I for one am not very interested in real singers preforming vocaloid songs, but some people might enjoy these all-too-human voices. Especially since some are very cute girls, boys and things of unknown gender. It shall also be mentioned that rak has done the art for this CD and even produced a song for it. It’s her very first music production and you can find her other creations right here!

Now lets see if the mix of this CD is better than the awful Lantis ones.

The CD will contain following songs:


This is nicovideo live

Date February 26, 2010

I don’t recognize a single one of these people but I’m sure they are all terrible. I mean the worst. What kind of person does a livecast anyway? Why do they do it? They must be narcissists the whole bunch.

Ok I’m kidding, I love nicovideo live. It’s the best thing coming out of the original nicovideo. I just wish they had more slots so more people could broadcast at the same time. Also higher bitrate. And a smoother stream. uStream has it right there, so learn from them!
