Please read this before commenting! -- The Japanese computer-generated voice Hatsune Miku (初音 ミク) from Vocaloid2 singing "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)", originally by 'The Proclaimers'. Hatsune Miku is the first voice in a series of 'character voices' produced for Vocaloid2.
The video was not originally intended to be the main point. I just synchronized some animations with the song because I wanted to put it up here. EDIT: And damn, it really suffered from the YouTube compression. For the first time, it also seems to have de-sync'ed the video and audio too. Anyway...
Because the voice is intended for Japanese lyrics, the voice doesn't sound 'fluent' in English, but that doesn't stop the cuteness. :P (In fact, it kind of adds to it...)
There is a lesser-known CG voice doing the backing singing (on the right speaker - there's a stereo version available, check the bottom of this description). It's a voice I made using Virtual Singer on Melody Assistant. If the second Vocaloid2 voice in the character series had been released yet, I would have used it, but unfortunately that will not be released until the end of December 2007.
I know I got lazy with the video editing near the end, that's what happens when you've spent 11 days working on it. <_<
I did not make any of the illustrations used in this video! I just synchronised them to the lyrics or beat. If you want to know anything about what's in the video, please CHECK THE CREDITS at the end! ^^

I've made a brief guide on how to go about getting Japanese voice on Vocaloid2 to sound like they're singing English. It's not at all straight-forward though, and some knowledge of Japanese syllables would be extremely useful. Here's the link: http://robbi-985.homeip.net:8000/info...
Edit 2: CREDIT INFO: I made the credits in this video without knowing who made some of the images used in the video. However, AugmentedExistance has since found the artists of several other images which I used in this video. They are: Kanzaki Hiro Minami Juujisei Sugiyama Shinnosuke Ebisu Senri
