I went ahead and put in a preorder. I know if I didn't I'd be kicking myself a year from now. It's probably the most detailed V2 Miku sculpt we're going to see.

Otomachi Una is now available for the Voidol voice-conversion software. Voidol is a realtime voice manipulation application that makes mic audio input sound like a character from an installed voice pack.

New prize figure from Taito: Hatsune Miku Wonderland figure The quality of their prize figures keeps going up. She is gorgeous! I already have a bunch of figure preorders. But I guess I have no choice. So many this year! I keep getting slammed with amazing new figures:
