NYCC/NYAF 2010 (Fri) - News from the Meet the Makers of Hatsune Miku Panel

Footage of the ending minutes of the "Meet the Makers of Hatsune Miku" panel at New York Comic Con/New York Anime Festival on Friday, October 8th, 2010. The co-creators of Vocaloid, Hiroyuki Ito and Wataru Sasaki (Crypton), talk about what's upcoming.

Rin/Len Append will be released in December 2010 and will add six tones of the character's voice to their original repertoire.

An English version of the Hatsune Miku software can potentially be released in the United States - but only if her Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hatsune-Miku/10150149727825637) gets enough fans. According to the creators, they will need 39,390 fans before they will release it.

In addition, the Tokyo Kawai Magazine Hatsune Miku Edition will be coming out next month and plans for a Vocaloid shop in the United States seem likely - if there is enough demand for it.

@yotsubafanfan I think we all do XD I personally like his and Rin's songs the most actually; always either super catchy and dancy or deep and emotional.

The other thing i want is LEN TO HIT PUBERTY!!! I want to know what that sounds like officially!

[Gobblrwhan]

>:V MUST....GET.....ENGLISH.....MI­KUU

[DirtinSky]

a rather specific number eh?... Forget about a store since most attempts since Gainax have BOMBED! The only Japanese stores that stay here are Japanese stores that cater to Actual Japanese Populations in the area like in Chicago/ NY/ San Jose/ San Fran~ and other BIG Arse cities.

Calm down the otaku boy & girls~~~~~~~~~~~~~
