A tale of a robot and a scientist

More vocaloid! Today, I'll share the sad tale of a cute robot and the scientist who made her. Get your hankies ready.

The robot's story:



The scientist's story. IMPORTANT: click the "360p" button to change the video to 480p when it begins playing! If you don't, the subtitles will be fuzzy, and you won't be able to read them.



A mix of both (again, please click the "360p" button and change to 480p when the video starts playing!):

A happy video - Gemini

Because I feel like posting a happy vid after a hard day's work - Gemini.



sung by Kagamine Rin and Len (vocaloid), and drawn/animated by Glider. English lyrics by motokokusanagi2009 + lxw. Not entirely sure who wrote the song, but they're awesome, too. If you click through to the Youtube page, the poster has a downloadable version of the video in the sidebar.

This song also has a pretty darn good English version, sung by rockleetist. (No pretty animation for that one, though.)

New Year Resolutions!!!1!

I'm posting them here so I don't flake out. Super late, but I just created this blog a bit ago, so.

1. Read at least one manga volume a day. I have such a backlog, you have no idea. STACKS of books.
   
2. Drink more water. I was doing so well on cutting down on pop, and then...I dunno. I fell off the wagon.
   

I vow to do my best!!!1!

To keep this post from being useless - here, have some pretty music box tunes. (One of these days, I'll post about the Daughter/Servant of Evil vids. This is not that day.)

Sleeper (Tie) by Glider

As my first non-intro post, it seems appropriate to link to the vocaloid video that my avatar is from. It's an adorable video, okay. And it involves TRAINS!!!1!

You don't need to know anything about vocaloid to watch this, except that the girl and boy in the vid are twins. (Well, okay, they haven't said so officially, but they've got the same surname, the same age, and a similar appearance. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...)

Hit the "HQ" button to sharpen the video a bit.



The video is hand-drawn by a well-known Taiwanese fan named "Glider," with the song in the background written by Captain MIRAI and sung by the vocaloid Rin Kagamine. For more of Glider's unique videos, I highly recommend the Kokoro/Kiseki videos, and Gemini.

Viva la twins!
