So I absolutely positively love the vocaloid's, and I was excited to hear about the commercial by Toyota, and well, I have to say, I'm a bit let down. I was hoping to see the Miku we all know and love but no, her image was altered in a very unsatisfying way. Now I get it, that the change was to adapt to western culture, but *shiver* couldn't they have tried, I don't know, for a less intimidating look. The problem for me is not that they changed her look (believe me, I've seen all sorts of weird Miku pics), it's that they didn't portray her personality or her age very well, which is the core of Miku(I am mainly talking about that horrid picture on the site, which has been changed, thank God). Through all her different songs, in both the videos and the lyrics, she's had a laughing personality that I believe Toyota failed to capture.
Anyways, I'd like to thank all the loyal fans out there, who I'm guessing must have slammed Toyota pretty hard, because I have seen definite improvements in the commercials and on the site.
