Made another picture of my Vocaloid, Hanako Yamaguchi! Even though I already posted this on deviantart, I decided to post it here. The picture is based on the song “Butterfly On Your Right Shoulder” by Len Kagamine and this picture.

 

I really want Hanako to sing that song, once I complete her voice bank, as I do the voice for her. Enjoy!

I Really Like This Picture

It’s Domo! :D

As you may or may not know, Hatsune Miku videos are being removed on Youtube; no one knows who is doing this. I was on Deviant Art just derping around as usual,  checking my messages, when I found this journal entry title “Kagamine Len Disappearing For Real?” Without hesitation I clicked on the journal entry. There was a link to a video and here it is.

I was like “What is this?”  Apparently high quality videos of Miku and other Vocaloids with English titles are being removed by making fake reports that the videos are infringing a copyright. Since there is a big number of videos being removed, a big organization might be behind this. So then I read this article.

This isn’t right. Just because an organization doesn’t like Miku getting hugely popular, doesn’t mean they have the authority to do this act. It just is not right.

IT NEEDS TO END!

I know what some of you are thinking, “Big deal. She’s not even a real person.” I don’t think the world will be the same without Vocaloids, especially our friends in Japan.

So let’s save Miku and the Vocaloids! :D

Derrpp

Thank GOD I didn’t have school today. Even though it’s barely 8:00, I’m kind of tired.

As usual my weekend was packed, like it should be. Mainly hanging out with my closest friends and filming..yup just the usual. It was a jolly good time :) I forgot to show a picture of Hanako Yamaguchi, the Vocaloid I made. I got the idea for the name, because I want to name one of my kids Hanako, which means flower child. That is, if I have two girls so I can name the other one Sumiko. JAPAN’S CULTURE HAS MADE ME OBSESSED.

Anyway here’s Hanako.

You can also see it on my DeviantArt page, but why do that when you can see it now?

And this is a drawing of me. I like this drawing a lot, but some people have asked “Why is she/are you naked?” I’m not, it’s just the color of my pants. Just to let you know.

I decided to make this bigger just for kicks.

I also found this nice quote. Here it is.

“Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers.” — Isaac Asimov

Well Isaac I totally agree with what you’re saying there. That is a sentence of wisdom RIGHT THERE.

I’m also writing another story. WHOOP DE DOO. It’s a fan fiction and it’s about Len Kagamine.

These might be familiar faces if you are big fans of both Len and Miku Hatsune, like me, or if you aren’t. I’m still writing LBST, this is just another project. You can read them on my DeviantArt page, which, if you’ve forgotten, is the link to it.

I’m already working on chapter four. :) It makes me feel appreciative, because a lot of people really like the story so far. My friends are especially supportive. Maybe I’ll publish it eventually, but who knows?

I really like this picture. It’s so cute! MikuXLen is already cute enough…

New UTAUloids and Website

Okay I just wanted to mention that my friend made a website for these UTAUloids we created. I made up a fan made Vocaloid (vocal android, i.e. Hatsune Miku) and her name is Hanako Yamaguchi. I got the idea from my friend who made up his own called Arisu Kotone. We’re going to make songs by them on this software called UTAU, thus giving them the name UTAUloids. He made a website for them and here it is.

It’s really cool. If you’re familiar with http://cartoonsincorporated11.wordpress.com/ this is the same person who made that website. He just made a demo for Arisu recently, who is voiced by my friend and it sounds a lot like her. Hanako, however, sounds NOTHING like me (I voice her.) and that she actually sounds Japanese! Or at least that’s what I heard. 

Please, please, PLEASE check it out.

Yes, I’m back in school from winter break, although I wish I could just hibernate from school for the whole winter. School is okay, but I’m too excited for high school. I just wish high school would start already. I’m ready for it, I think. I think that’s why school seems a little boring to me. Hey don’t get me wrong, my school is a really good school. What we learn in school is interesting, I have a great teacher, and I have friends and all. I think it’s because not just of my impatience for high school, but also because of the routine, not to mention my 7th and 8th grade class can get a little hectic. I also have to get up at 6:50 in the morning every day just to be on time, because my school opens at 7:30 and you have to get there by 7:45 to be on time. Luckily, we get out at 2:15 in the afternoon, so I guess that makes up for it. Still, I am not a morning person! But I like my school, even though I cannot wait for high school. Oh well. I’m just going to enjoy the moment I get to be with my friends, because who knows if I might see them again? I just have to stay positive.

And now another year has gone by…Gosh, I never knew 2011 would go by so quickly! Clearly, when people say “Time flies when you’re having fun” they really mean it (whoever they are)! But wait..that just means THE WORLD ENDS THIS YEAR!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Psych! I don’t believe that garbage in a second and neither do a lot of people. I used to when I first heard the world was going to end, but then I watched a video about how the world wasn’t going to end. It’s basically the end of the Mayan calendar, but that doesn’t mean the world is going to end. Those Mayans really like to mess with people’s dumb heads.

Oh, remember when I told you I was writing a novel? I still am, but I’m also making a manga novel companion for it! Yay! I decided to do this, because I went to Utrecht Art Supplies on Monday, because I needed some fabric markers and my brother got a comic book set. It comes with stencils, a 28 page comic book with blank pages and tracing paper and he’s using it as a storyboard for a movie. I decided to get one too and that’s how it turned out. I think it will help me with writing the story, because it’s based on dreams I’ve had and in real life, and it’ll help me visualize the story more. I’m really excited for it (and the other book too, of course).

And now I’m off to do my homework… D:

Rotten to the Core

Have you ever had a wonderful friendship and then, somehow, it seemed to slip through your hands? Well my friend, you are not alone, because that same thing had happened to me. Recently, actually.

There is this girl who goes by the name of Mii. We used to be friends, but one of my friends was “copying” her, because he likes Vocaloids (Example: Hatsune Miku) and she likes them too. That made her mad and I was kind of on the neutral party, so I didn’t really do much about it. And then she got mad at me, because I was doing the same and I was really sad, even though I did nothing to upset her.
I was really upset. I had no idea what to do; Mii was being a d-bag on deviantART like saying mean stuff and calling me a weeaboo. Crap like that. I said I would stop making her mad so she told me to stop liking manga and anime, just because SHE liked it. That was really unfair so I said no.

So now Mii says she’ll hate me for the rest of her life. I know it may seem sad, but at least I know who my true friends are.
But she’s still at it. I recently submitted a drawing on deviantART that was holiday themed, because it was Christmas Eve. Of course she went and called me a weeaboo again just to make me mad. I told her to hop off but she was just all like “Nah.”

She sickens me. To make things clear, a weeaboo is someone who is obsessed with Japan/Japanese culture/anime/manga and act like they’re Japanese when they’re not. I am not like that at all. Just because I like some aspects of certain Asain culture, doesn’t mean I’m a weeaboo! If anything, that defines HER. Seriously. Even though she used to be my friend, now she’s just rotten to the core. :P

Ugh!

Christmas Spirit!

Hooray hooray, winter break has started! Yay! :D :D :D

..Or at least it did yesterday, but who cares!
Anyway, I just wanted to wish you all a very happy holidays! Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Happy Kwanzaa! ..You get my point. I am in such a Christmas-y mood, thus giving the title of this post Christmas Spirit.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that the Rawsome crew was able to do the Rawsome Christmas special and finish it yesterday! It went really smoothly and I’m really happy about it, especially since this is our very first holiday special. Even though not many people know about our videos, I just really like making them with my friends!
A couple hours later, my family, a couple of friends and I got to see The Adventures of TinTin and honestly, it was awesome! It was one of the best animated films I’ve seen this year. I’d give it ten out of ten *s. :) Seriously, I’d recommend watching it while you still can.
Again, happy holidays!

My Weird Life

Okay, I know I haven’t been posting in a while..almost three months. :O But you know I had a lot going on; what with school, friends, my birthday (which was almost two months ago), and other stuff, so I had been pretty busy recently.

A lot of things have been going on lately: for one thing I had my birthday. :D Yes, now I am 14 years old. I invited four of my closest friends and two other friends crashed it. (Although I didn’t mind. They’re good friends of mine.) Yeah, it was really fun. :)

I’ve also been busy with school. Sometimes, school can get pretty boring, but most of the time it’s okay. It’s just that nothing exciting happens to me. I mean, I haven’t been doing anything fun or going on any trips. Well, I did maybe a few weeks ago, but that was a few weeks ago. My point is I wish I had fun more often, you know?

I also tested for my next rank in tae kwon do on Saturday; tomorrow I will be receiving my belt at my class. :) Here’s the list of the ranks:
White
Gold
Purple
High Purple (purple with white stripe)
Green
High Green
Brown
High Brown
Red (my current)
High Red
Black
One more year until I receive my black belt. :3

So that’s what’s been going on. I’ve been on DeviantArt a lot recently; I’ve been a member for three or four months. I gave you the link in another post. You should check it out.
Well, I have to go take a shower. Hope to post something new every week (or soon)!

Mushi-Shi

I’ve just been hooked on this anime series called Mushi-Shi. It’s about these ghostly creatures called Mushi, that aren’t exactly ghosts but not human, either. Mushi are in different forms, and react in different ways with different things.  Then there’s Ginko, the Mushi master, who helps people with conflicts caused by Mushi.

If you like science fiction or things that are a little creepy, you will really like Mushi-Shi. If you like any kind of anime, you’ll still like it. Or not.  I’ve been watching the series; it’s just plain awesome.
