I still can't believe this is real and I am actual conscious, what the fuck

 

[I speel my dreenk]

How would you explain something like this to your children? What if they're not ready?

:/

I don't think most of those adults were ready.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

It's already up on Youtube. What the fuck was that.

[chrominance]

Awww maybe they're just good peoples. :3

I actually feel like it'd be a win-win. She gets more airtime and more of a personality, her fans get to see more of her on national TV than most musical guests get, and Letterman gets a perfectly bizarre segment. But probably not worth the effort.

 

[chaobreaker]

Hologram cartoon musical thing with Japanese aesthetic prob not for everyone

Of course, but I have a feeling the average Letterman audience member wouldn't be aware of the weird anime stigma attached to Miku enough to give it awkawrd silence.

I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that this is the worst thing that has ever happened.

Just put Miku on the search bar and set to upload date, warning the audio quality of most of those videos is beyond horrible.

It's not as much about stigma as seeing a cartoon girl singing at all. It's probably quite a left turn from what they're probably used to.

Where were you when Western civilization fell?

....Jesus. Yeah, maybe she should have just sang in Japanese. That's way too high pitch.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

I am ready for Ebola now. There is nothing worth saving.

 

[chrono01]

I couldn't help but notice how happy the guitarist was just during the song.

Also, does anyone know the name of the song? I haven't heard this one before.

 

[Effect]

So how did this turn out? How did the audience react?

 

[RatskyWatsky]

I can't believe this actually happened. Good lord. Was she even singing with words? It sounded like fuzzy electronic mumbling.

 

[phoenix296]

hahahahahaha

 

[zedreamcast]

Wow that top ten opening thing looks like it was made in 1994

 

[ZeroAKA]

Sharing the World.

Technology is the best. Especially when its cute!!!

Thanks, boy that was quick.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

What language was that?

I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that this is the worst thing that has ever happened.

Agreed.

 

[Dad]

So how did this turn out? How did the audience react?

Their American bodies clapped, but they were already dead on the inside.

 

[chrono01]

Sharing the World.

Much appreciated!

like ramen noodles in a toilet bowl

 

[kick51]

its like 10 feet behind the rest of the band and way far from the crowd. and doesn't even seem nicely synced up, just seems like a couple of canned animations repeated. The complete lack of expression doesn't help either. without even getting into how it sounds like the same jpop from a decade ago.

 

[Cyan]

Of course, but I have a feeling the average Letterman audience member wouldn't be aware of the weird anime stigma attached to Miku enough to give it awkawrd silence.

Uh, I think you mean anime-style. "Anime" as a word only applies to animation made in Japan, and Miku is not animated she is made by computers. Baka!

 

[dani_dc]

Should had went with a Japanese song, its not as if Miku English is understand able to begin with.

Hope we get some better videos, the sound didn't appear particularly good, I could barely hear Miku at the start.

 

[SaintGalgo]

Sharing the World, the song they're using to promote the expo. Yes, it sucks. And it's not just the english voicebank. The turning is just terrible.

 

[TUSR]

holy fuck hahahahaha

 

[EVOL 100%]

I'm not sure if I'll be able to watch that

Their American bodies clapped, but they were already dead on the inside.

They clapped out of instinct. They're American, after all

 

[Slayer-33]

holy fuck hahahahaha

It's that bad? Lol

 

[hoggert]

You know, I have supported anonymous crowd-created (or whatever shit PR buzzword you want to use) culture from the "shadows" since 1998-9, and the fact that Miku was on Letterman tonight; I just really can't put into words.

I think I'll have another couple beers in celebration of impending Oculus Rift succubus/incubus apocalypse.

 

[MrCunningham]

I guess they chose Letterman because of the Ed Sullivan Theatre connection? If it worked with the Beatles back in the 1960's, maybe it will work for them too.

 

[kewlmyc]

It was funny how just Letterman introducing her caused some woman in the audience to bust out laughing.

Still can't believe this happened. The whole otaku community has come a long way in a few years.

I kinda want her on the Today show just for shits and giggles now.

Pretty much my views on this one. Like eeeee

Yeah remember when Scott Pilgrim was the trending topic on twitter? That basically put the movie on everybody's mind and thanks to that it was a great sucess...... wait

When she's singing in Japanese, I can at least recognize it's Japanese. In English, I can't even recognize it asa a language.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Why does she have a microphone on her face and in her hand?

 

[Enron]

Uh, I think you mean anime-style. "Anime" as a word only applies to animation made in Japan, and Miku is not animated she is made by computers. Baka!

Cyan-sempai notice me ;_;

 

[Revolutionary]

So how did this turn out? How did the audience react?

they reacted to the applause sign

 

[chrono01]

When she's singing in Japanese, I can at least recognize it's Japanese. In English, I can't even recognize it asa a language.

I'll agree with this.

 

[blame space]

she's hot

 

[SquiddyCracker]

This is... amazing.

 

[Enron]

Pretty sure "they" didn't choose Letterman. The other way round.

 

[Tesseract]

she's hot

pls blameless spacing, pls.

When I say anime I mean "that weird Japanese stuff that confuses and/or disturbs people".

And Vocaloid not getting an anime is the weirdest shit. That shit would sell like hotcakes.
