Clearly this is an artistic representation for the loss of personal identity incurred by Americanization.

On a serious note, straight hair appeals to me more, but Hatsune Miku has made an icon out of her twin-tails.

"being true to who you are makes all your dreams possible"
but what does that mean to Miku whose truth is that she is a fictional construct @@

Finally. A Japanese commercial that makes at least some sense. I think. You know what, I'm still not sure, but I'll take it. Very Happy

Is it me, or is Miku's hair further from the ground when her hair is down than when they're in those ponytails?

I think if they had made better eyes with specular highlights instead of baked into the texture highlights, and re-animated the mo-cap to be less realistic it wouldn't have been so creepy.

This could have been great if they used better CG or just went full on Anime. Wink

This is the first I hear Miku talking, and I rather like her voice.

Who tuned Miku's voice in this? They made her unbearably squeaky. I know her voice isn't really meant for talking rather than singing, but they definitely put the pitch too high.

I know MitchieM did the song in it but I doubt he tuned her speaking, otherwise I'll be pretty shocked given how good he is at it.

I find that Miku voice annoying. Heck, me finding a lot of subbed voices annoying is why I watch most subbed anime muted. However, I did enjoy that Scarlett voice.
