Poll: Hatsune Miku gets a Toyota. Any thoughts?

[SuperSuperSuperGuy]

What do you make of this? I find it kind of interesting that they'd choose to market a car with Miku. I mean, where I live, Vocaloid programs are extremely esoteric; Only a few of my acquaintances know of them. How many people watching the commercial will recognize her? I guess it could help her popularity a bit...

I quite like it to be honest, slightly funky really. I guess this was a move to incorporate as many Japanese companies/things as they can to present to and generate interest in the outisde world, because lets face it, they need it at the moment.

When I saw this, I had to go see what it was about. I can understand that they would use Hatsune Miku because she is really popular in Japan and Toyota is a Japanese car so they might put it together. Since I don't watch t.v., if they put this commercial in Canada or America , I wonder how many people would be like, oh cool that's Miku. =D

 

[SckizoBoy]

Just watched that and thought they just butchered Fujita Saki's voice...

Will now wash ears out.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Pretty cool I guess although I think that car doesn't suit her (I think it's the colour).

*daydreaming about attending a Vocaloid concert*
*come to with a start*

Sorry, I got distracted by the mention of Hatsune Miku. What were we talking about again?

 

[Jonluw]

Well, if the commercial airs in the west, maybe it'll have a few more people knowing who Hatsune Miku is. That'd be cool. Maybe we'd get a proper vocaloid concert some time.

Still, I can't help but feel that the commercial was lame.

 

[HerbertTheHamster]

...So a lonely weaboo attracting hologram is telling me to buy a car?

sure...

If this was marketed in Japan only then it would make more sense.

 

[kurupt87]

Eh? A Japanese Ke$ha is telling people to buy a car? Fine?

It's not very effective.

 

[Dango]

I don't get why they're airing this commercial in a country where so few people know who Hatsune Miku is.

Celebrity endorsements are as old as the hills, I don't see why not. Also, it's a Japanese car so it seems a logical enough pairing. Not sure exactly where she's going to drive it though.

Incidentally a 1970 Toyota Corolla was my first car. Was a piece of junk too.

 

[Tartarga]

Meh, she should have gotten a bitchin' Chimaro.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

I personally am not a huge fan of the vochaloid itself, but the idea of it is kind of cool because it seems like we're starting to live in a crazy cybernetic fantasy future world. If they were marketing it as like "THE CAR OF THE FUTUUUUUURE" or something like that it would make a bit of sense. No clue what the fuck they're trying to get at by selling it alongside a fictional animated character "accomplishing her dreams" because she's not real and can't actually have such ambitions. Any celebrity who "accomplished their dreams" would have fit that campaign better, though I'll admit, probably wouldn't be nearly as attention grabbing.

I am currently face palming right now at the sheer stupidity at this.

 

[SD-Fiend]

Who? Never heard of her.

My exact words when listening to this add
"Oh jesus god! What the hell is that?!!!! Its her bloody voice! Bloody hell!" Followed by me ripping off my headphones.

Seriously, that's freakin' aweful.

well that's just one of many songs you should look some of them up they can be very good
