 She’s cute. She’s japanese. She’s got blue-green hair. She’s incredibly famous, but she doesn’t even breathe.
She’s Hatsune Miku, the first in a series of 3 installments for Yamaha’s vocal synthesizer software Vocaloid. Vocaloid will read lyrics and tones written in the software and hash out a very convincing vocal rendition in Japanese or English. I didn’t believe it myself until I heard it. And like everything else, this application is all over YouTube and even has a wiki page. Lend an ear to this John Denver classic “Take Me Home, Country Road.” It’s in Japanese, but it’s creepy that it’s not a real person singing it.
Or this awfully catchy “only God knows why this exists” tune…
